Good day Cynthia,
Thank you for your kind comment at the end of your comment. I am compelled to help others who are in these situations and it most definitely helps me mentally and emotionally.
We went back to Tunis this past June to celebrate our 1st anniversary and complete our marriage papers. We were married in Tunis last year but since the Canadian embassy there was only open on certain days/times we couldn't register our marriage. So we returned.
I was determined to get these marriage documents and get them to the embassy. I wanted this marriage registered.
During our time in Tunis I noticed some changes in him. I had prepared a few surprises for him to celebrate our anniversary. I received NOTHING from him for our anniversary. Not a card or some small trinket!! He told me it was not his "policy" to give gifts ! Really, but he has given me small gifts before, which I'm sure my money was used !
He refers to having sexual relations as an "operation" !! OMG. It was me who paid for our plane tickets to Tunis and the our stay at the hotel for 6 days. He spent his money on new clothes and shoes before I came !!
When we arrived back to his family's home he disappeared for hours. He would not even respond to my texts or phone calls. At the airport when I was departing all he said to me was travel safe and turned away and left. Ohhhh he gave me a hug like I had a disease !
He thought he was "snug as a bug in a rug". And on his way to Canada.
When I received the response from immigration Canada via Paris that they were refusing him entry to Canada I actually felt at that moment how proud I was to be a Canadian and to know that our border services are doing their job !!
Maybe Donald Trump has the right idea about banning Muslims from coming into the USA.
In one of my previous posts I mentioned how relieved I was and felt the weight of the world lifted off my shoulders when CIC refused the application....its been 7 weeks since I was informed and I feel great and my life has been busy with family and friends. I'm me again and I like me !!
