BOY DID YOU GET THAT ONE RIGHT. MY HUSBAND ONLY EARNS 2000LE A MONTH IN HURGHADA. HE'S IN A MANAGEMENT POSITION. IN CANADIAN DOLLARS THATS A LITTLE UNDER 200 CANADIAN A MONTH. EVEN IN EGYPT THIS IS NOT GOOD,ESPECIALLY LIVING IN A RESORT CITY. SO GRADUALLY I HAVE SEEMED TO ASSUME THE ROLE OF PAYING FOR GROCERIES FOR MONTHS,HALF THE RENT OR ALL SOMETIMES AND FOR LAUNDRY SERVICES ETC. HE HAS TO SEND MOST TO FAMILY IN CAIRO AND KEEPS ONLY SO MUCH FOR HIMSELF.

I TOO AM REACHING THE POINT WHERE AS MUCH AS I LOVE HIM AND DO NOT WANT TO TOTALLY ACCEPT THAT HE CAN BE A REAL AHOLE LIKE SO MANY OF THEM,ITS GETTING HARDER TO FOOL MYSELF. NOT ONLY HAVE I SUPPLIED LARGE SUMS TO HELP OUT HIS SERIOUSLY ILL MOTHER AND LARGE SUMS FOR HIM HE RECENTLY CAME UP WITH SOME SCHEME FOR EXCHANGING MONEY THAT WOULD RETURN MORE IN LONG RUN TO US,I REFUSED,HE WANTED ME TO INVEST 100,000LE OR LOAN HIM WITH PAPERWORK SIGNED BY A LAWYER. GOOD ONE,HE WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO REPAY NEARLY 9000.00CANADIAN IF HE LOST IT,EVERYTHING IS GEARED TO THE MAN OVER HERE AND LAWYERS PLAY BOTH SIDES OFF FOR MORE MONEY.SO I REFUSED. SO TWO DAYS OF SILENCE,BEING IGNORED AND HIM SLEEPING ON COUCH.MOMMA NEEDS ANOTHER SURGERY SOON FOR HER CANCER SITUATION AND I THINK ITS ABOUT TIME THEY CAME UP WITH SOMEONE ELSE TO BANK ROLL THEM.

I HAVE JUST ABOUT REACHED MY END OF PATIENCE WITH A MAN WHO EMOTIONALLY AND VERBALLY ABUSES ME SO MUCH WHEN HE IS ANGRY,SAD,ETC. I AM NOT HIS EMOTIONAL PUNCHING BAG. HE HAS NEVER BEEN PHYSICALLY ABUSIVE TO ME BUT THE WORDS AND EMOTIONAL TRAUMA CAN TAKE JUST AS HEAVY A TOLL ON YOU.TRULY LIKE MOST WOMEN ON THIS FORUM,I AGREE ,BE CAREFUL OF FALLING IN LOVE WITH EGYPTIAN MEN. LIKE I SAID BEFORE SOME I AM SURE ARE GOOD MEN,BUT MOST TRULY DO EMOTIONALLY,VERBALLY,OR PHYSICALLY ABUSE YOU ESPECIALLY IF YOUR FOREIGN, AND THEY DO IT TO THEIR OWN,

I HAVE SPOKEN TO MANY EGYPTIAN MEN FOR THE MOST PART ARE EMOTIONALLY STUNTED OR TWISTED IN THEIR EMOTIONAL GROWTH. ,TO THE POINT OF NON REALITY OR REASON AT TIMES AND CAN BE INCREDIBLY COLD ,INSENSITIVE,INDIFFERENT AND DOWN RIGHT CRUEL AND EVIL IN SOME CASES.THEY TRULY ONLY THINK OF THEMSELVES AND THEIR WANTS OR THE FAMILY,ESPECIALLY MOMMA.THEY MAY BE CHARMING,INTELLIGENT,VERY ATTRACTIVE PHYSICALLY BUT SCRATCH THE SURFACE OF MOST WHEN YOU GET INVOLVED WITH THEM AND YOU ENTER A LIVING NIGHTMARE. I KNOW,I STILL AM IN LOVE WITH AND LIVING WITH MY JEKYLL AND HYDE.
