Egyptian Men are Awful

Submitted by Susan R. (United States), Oct 18, 2019 at 10:07

I wasted 2years with a man who was from Alexandria Egypt.
We met at a casino, It was my second time ever going to a casino but he frequently went to gamble.
He had a severe gambling addiction along with other addictions to drugs.
I knew nothing about him in the beginning he seemed kind,intelligent and fun but that all changed.
The fact that he had been here illegally for 10 years and picked up by Ice made it impossible for him to drive and we lived 2 hours apart.
I would see him once a week on his days off, at first he was happy with that but soon he began to try to get me to see him More often.
I was falling in love with him and would have spent every minute with him if I could have but work and my animals at home made that impossible.
I worked on keeping him from being deported and helped him in every way possible.
He was like a child with money either gambling it away or spending it on drugs.
When he lost which was frequently he would become dark and angry, despite my pleas to stay away from casinos he continued to go when ever he got paid.
Our physical relationship was awkward at best,he did what ever pleased him without asking me or considering my pleasure.
He began to call and text me accusing me of being with other men.
I was faithful to him for our entire relationship which is more than I can say for him.
He cheated when ever he could find someone willing,he claimed it didn't count because he loved me and only used others for sex.
He began to be More frequently emotionally abusive.
He would say he never wanted to see me again and not reply to calls or texts then a week or two later he would want to get back together saying how much he missed me and needed me, loved me..
For my own sanity I finally walked away from this Very toxic relationship.
I would Caution Anyone to stay away from middle Eastern Men.
I have yet to hear of anyone that has had a successful relationship with one.
