Wassalam,

Thank you for your advice and prayers but I'm not in a foreign country. I
was born and raised in the US. He's the foreigner.

Peace,

Now, but you've been talking about going to Egypt to be with him.  I'm talking about taking them with you when you go, if you go.  But, just the same, I will keep you in my prayers.

Salaam Sister,

I never said anything about going to Egypt. He's not even Egyptian.
Maybe you're confused by another thread? He's in the States as well. But
thank you so much for your prayers.

Peace,
J.R.

I think Anglea was right on target. I have many friends that are married to Arab Muslims and a lot of them changed once they were in their country. If these women had of done what Anglea said then they could have gotten away easier. And these were not cases of the wife just wanted to leave in the 3 I know of he was beating her daily while the family did nothing.

It was wonderful advise Angela for any woman out there wanting to go to a foreign country.

Hmmm, *blinks*  I think I did mix up threads.  Okay...sorry.    But, its still good advice.  Heck, at the Domestic Violence shelter we always preach having an exit plan. A savings account not know by the spouse, anything.  Often times, even in Christian families, when the woman bails, she only has her children and the clothes on their back.  We tell women to leave a suitcase at a friend's or relative's if she has one and keep important papers like birth certificates and social security cards for her and the children in an easy to reach spot that she can grab in a panic.  Oh well, advice maybe not needed, but the more you know the more you grow, right?

Angela,

Do not take offense with Suleyman. I do not think he fully understands and I have never known him to be hurtful or mean in any of his posts. I do not think he understands fully. There is a language barrier and a custom barrier.

And Suleyman, I think your English is coming along wonderfully.

Okay, I'm glad it was a misunderstanding.  My escape plan might be funny but it is very much the one that is taught in thousands of DV shelters across the United States.  The two most important things to have once you are out of the house are your personal papers and money.  Again, I'm glad you weren't taking the meaning lightly, just the idea of an escape plan.
