Dear jessica.Thank you for your message.i had split briefly from my husband but his father met with us to monitor situation,we are trying to work things out,but my husband is not only much younger but typically Egyptian male in many ways and has other issues that are a result of the revolution in 2011 in which he was involved and paid a huge price for. So my marriage is not an easy one,it is hanging by a thread at the moment with his mother probably going to soon possibly die from her cancer which she has had for 5 years. all this affects my husband and the marriage. I too am bitter about some things at times because i see how Egyptian men always for the most part can be very manipulative over womens emotions they seem to learn this ability early on mine included,yet he has his sweet loving side like i'm sure others do. ,i do not turn a blind eye to the possibility of him using me for various reasons but i also know we have aconnection somehow. I also know how horrendous men here can be to women,foreign and Egyptian,but i also know there are some good ones i have seen them.

Every nation on earth has good and bad people. I feel sorry for the women who have suffered,i have to,and probably will more and i may turn bitter too when the time comes. But i still think that there are some good ones out there even in Egypt and i wish any women good luck with a Egyptian man,because i do live here,and see what goes on,i know how they are in general butv like i said there are exceptions to the rule and i hope some women have better fortune than i or the others who have been so horribly treated .No one in life deserves to be emotionally,physically or financially used and ruined and then kicked to the curb like trash,

believe me i understand only to well the grievances expressed on this site and my heart is with all these women for i have suffered to.
