In relation to your comments of western women being easy due to Hollywood etc., that may be so that women are portrayed that way. but you have to ask yourself, would Arabic women be the same if they had the freedom of choice ? I don't consider myself as "easy " as before he was married I had been with him for a year and before him had only one partner- so I don't know what your definition of easy is but I don't believe I am this stereotype you place me in.

The sad thing is that not all women are like that and we like to go to the typical stereotyping to put others down. It's stereo typing that screws this world up saying Muslim men beat women and Muslim men are all terrorist frankly all this stereo tying is a bunch of BS

It was not my intention to for him to cheat on his wife or lie to his family; I do not excuse my actions. But it seems to that ppl are always the first to blame the female before they say anything about males role ... there is a saying it takes 2 to tango I wasn't the only guilty person in this relationship.

It's been a few weeks since I wrote that blog and when it was written it was only a few hours since I had broken up with him angry, confused, hurt. this was the way I had to vent. but now, a few weeks on, I am starting to find peace within myself and willing to except what is ,is. I have moved on and started to concentrate on myself and what is important to me. Whatever your thoughts/opinions are about me or on what I did does not matter to me; I know I had done the wrong thing. I have my answers I need in life to move on (which came from the horse's mouth) so judge me all you like if it makes you feel better.

I hold no grudge against Arabic ppl and their culture/religion nor do I hate my ex, but I do believe that we do make mistakes and this was mine and i have learnt from it. At the end we all need to answer to the one who created us.

When I first logged on to this forum all I could see were a lot of hurt and confused women needing advice and support, now it seems that this site has become a forum to slur other religions and races- this is the wrong way to go about things.

Whatever race, religion - I wish you all peace and happiness in your journey in life.
