Update on Marriage to Egyptian Muslim-

Submitted by LeMew (United States), Sep 12, 2016 at 00:13

I was watching a show called "90 Day Fiance" and saw a couple women being clearly used in a love scam.

I remembered this website, and then remembered my post about how a marriage between a Muslim man, and a Western woman could work.

ReCap: I met my husband for about three hours in Las Vegas where we both were on vacation.
- I introduced myself to him, we were never physical with each other.
- He went back to Egypt, I went back to St. Louis
- We spent nine months online and over the phone. He tried many times to get me to come to Egypt but I refused, I wanted him to come to America.
- He finally came, and we got married.

It was fast to some, but it felt right for us. We are approaching our two year anniversary. After the immigration he was able to get a job in finance, and I quit my job because he wanted me to have a chance to see if I would like being a stay at home wife.

I hated it, and eventually in the past few months got a job back in human resources.

I've met most of his family as they traveled here and we all had a family vacation and we are going back to Egypt (will be my first time) in the next couple of months and will have another wedding there for his family.

We are still happy. He is still the most considerate, sweet, gentle and kind man I have ever known. He takes care of me financially, emotionally, and physically. He protects me, and for the first time in my life I feel safe and confident in a relationship.

I wanted to post an update because I want people to know that in spite of odds, or cultural differences, or religious ones... IT CAN WORK. YOU CAN FIND LOVE. YOU CAN BE HAPPY.

It happened to me.

If anyone would like to add me on facebook to get a better view of our life together my name is Luhx Marghany.

& I will add you back! = )
