Jenny, didnt you know that they do not celebrate birthdays there? I traveled once to see my husband and was lucky enough to get there on his 40th birthday I told him I wanted to give him a party for his birthday and he said that they didnt do that there. But he gave in and we invited his friends over and we went and bought a cake and goodies for the party. well his friends were very surprised but they thought it was great and my husband was very happy as well...but what im trying to get at is we must ask questions, just simple ones to start with about their culture. how they are living just easy things. Jenny Im sorry for what you are going through but we must all learn to be smart here as they say love is blind but it doesn't have to be that way. Wake up ladies, remember where you are coming from.
