Hello everyone!! I'm fine and doing well. I've been reading all the posts and keeping up to date on the comments. I just haven't had time to respond.
Life is quiet and calm and I've been busy with work and family. I feel my day to day life coming back together and feel more peaceful. The stress of my marriage to my rat is less and seems like a long time ago. Although it's only been 6 months since I last spoke to him.
There are days that I reminese about him. But it quickly diminishes with the thoughts of all the lies that he told me. That's the part that deeply reeks havoc on me.
I've had friend requests show up on my Fb and I just delete them as I'm suspicious it may be him. Ahhh my dearest hubby !!!
There is a recent posting here about the sad state of the their living conditions and how dirty everything is. I had a laugh about that one as my husbands family home was just that. They wore the same clothes every day for a week !!
The bathroom facilities was deplorable !! And I had to figure out how to squat over the hole in the floor and aim for the hole. Then tried to figure out how to wipe myself as there is no toilet paper!!! Just a bucket of water. Omg !! I quickly bought tissues to take of this. The bathroom always smelt like urine and feces. The public bathrooms were even more deplorable!! Eww!!!
The Chater home had no running water. We did the dishes outside with boiled hot water and a plastic basin. Just like being camping!! May as well slept in a tent too. !!!
I actually enjoyed most of the food I ate while I was there. Although there was no wine served at meal time !!! On one of my visits I brought some white rum with me and would put it in my coke at dinner and after dinner and before I went to bed !!!! Lol lol lol. So I learned quickly how to entertain myself. I'm thinking I may have been the first person to ever bring alcohol into a Muslim Algerian home !!!
I've also sent a copy of out marriage documents to the Algerian embassy in Tunisia and the embassy here in Canada. I have no plans on divorcing my rat. I've already spent enough money on him. So if he wants a divorce he'll have to petition me....that's dependent upon if I respond.
I'll be back with more comments to other postings.
Ohhhh. One last item. !! Now Jessica's "my Mohamed " has had another interview for some kind of work permit to Canada. Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. !!! Don't believe that for one hot quick second.
Take care everyone.
To all the new comers ..... please read all the posts here. There real and true. The experiences are real and the broken hearts and betrayal are very real.
Love to all.
