I dont understand where you women are finding these men? I have been married to my husband who's from morocco for 2 years now and he isn't anything like what all of you say. He doesnt tell me how to dress, he doesnt boss me around, he's kind and gentle and very understanding. Do these problems you are having start immediatley after the marriage papers are signed or what?

We chatted online for over a year before i went to see him. maybe that is one of the problems with some of you woman give it time to find out how they are how they act be straight forward let them know what you expect and that you will refuse to back down. If you are living in america then leave him if he treats you badly. You are american woman so stand up for yourself, don't be afraid do what you would do if he was an american man treating you badly. My advice to you women considering marriage to any man, be he muslim or american, take your time. get to know them even if he is sweet and affectionate dont rush. if he loves you like he says, he will wait and if he gets angry and says he'll leave, tell him to go and dont let the door hit you on your way out.....
