I thought I would start a new topic to find out how many women out there are happily married to Egyptian men. There are countless stories on this forum about gigilos in Egypt, it would be nice to hear something different and start the New Year on a more positive note. I live in Hurghada, that infamous 'den of iniquities' and every week I hear stories of tourists who have been cheated out of their money and yes, it is depressing and it makes me angry. But, it isn't the same for everyone married to an Egyptian. There are decent men to be found. We have been married for three and a half years and we are so happy together. I could not hope for a more caring and loving man. But what I find so hard to understand is the number of ex-pats who will try to persuade me otherwise. It doesn't seem possible for some people to accept that my husband is not seeing another women, going to nightclubs or taking me for my money. I know it happens here, but it doesn't mean it is the same for everyone. I know that some of the 'low-lifes' here say to my husband, 'Oh are you taking her for her money'. But why can't the Europeans give each other a break. It doesn't have to be the same for every couple, in spite of the horror stories. Surely, we don't need to wish misery on each other. So lets hear it from other women who have brilliant husbands and tell the cynics to go away. We should be supporting each other in Egypt, not gloating over other people's misfortunes.

I naively thought that people who have been exposed to different cultures, especially on the intimate level of being an expatriot, would be more open-minded about people and cultural differences.
I am glad to see that is true of a lot of expats on here -- most with open minds.
But I suppose there will always been those judgmental types wherever you go.
Humans in general should be supportive of one another, wish one another the best, and be caring when people suffer losses or betrayals.
Anyway, I suppose my fiance doesn't count in this question since we don't live in Egypt. But he is Egyptian and he is one of the kindest, most compassionate people I have ever met. Honest to a fault, and dependable. He is one of those people who has such good character and integrity, he makes people around him want to be better, stronger people as well.
But this was the general impression I had of most Egyptians when I visited. Warm, friendly, family-oriented, and kind. I know there are exceptions to *this* generalization as well. But I had a very pleasant experience in Egypt. I can't wait to go back.

First you didn't state how you met, what kind of marriage you have, the age gap between you and your husband, whether you are the only wife, and if you live together under the same roof continueously day in and day out.

I'm also very happy with my Egyptian husband you know. In Cairo, most of my friends are married to Egyptians too, happily married for decades, with beautiful children, some converted, some not, some spent some time in Europe, then came back to Egypt. I have an older friend, who's 50, such a great woman, she didn't convert, her husband died ten years ago, her children are living in the USA and Europe, she could have come back to her home country but she prefers staying in Egypt with her husband's family. That's for me the normality. I just don't listen to all these girls being cheated by these tourist guys. The would have been cheated the same with European guys. You always have to be selective. I met my husband while I was working in Egypt, it took us a few years before deciding to get married, I would have done the same with someone from my country: you don't marry someone you don't know. In my family, although things are better now, there are still some racist people saying my husband is with me for the nationality and for my money...I don't listen to them either, my man earns 10 times more than me, he has travelled the world, and he's still travelling for his job every two months...There are stupid people EVERYWHERE, and they will always find a reason to criticize you.

I am so happy to see those posts too,really its true that the most of the stories are negative and kind of depressing!But you all said it correct already...it depends on the human nature,and NOT all are the same! Our marriage with my husband is still not very long,1 year and 5 months...but thanks God,in all this time i never regret for my decision!We live in my country,but maybe in future we will move there...not soon of course!I am absolutely sure that my husband is not with me for some interests,or visa,or nationality,this dont even cross my mind!He is very protective,tender,carying,loving and just really everything that i always wanted to be my husband,and i am really happy with him!He is my husband and friend too!Just everything i need exactly!We respect our religious differences,and never had forced me to convert!About people who wonder if he didnt marry from interest,noone...never even thought theres smth. like this,just the way we look & treat each other,is enough to stop this kind of ideas! And i know other couples,which have veryyyy successful marriages with Egyptian man,in abroad and in Egypt too,but they dont go to forums,lol! Thats why the most stories r bad,unsuccssful and sad! But i want them to know,that there is men like this Thx God! If one Woman is not happy with her husband,she shouldnt try to make all others to believe it must be like this with all!Its her own problem if she bear this! Good luck everyone,God bless you! Didi~

hello, Im glad, i've found a post like this, i've been having a relationship with an egyptian guy, he used to tell me he was a french, as time goes by, i learned that he is a muslim and only born in france but living with her mom who has married an egyptian guy after his real father died. He really wanted me to go to egypt to live with him, he told me not to worry about anything especially when it comes to money because he has a good job and if i want, he can give me a work there too where he works. I've been thinking for many times coz of what i've read to this forum, im really afraid to spare my life and work, but i admit i really love him, and he continously tellin me that the only thing he wishes is to be with me, he was almost crying last christmas when he called me, he wishes that, we would be together if im only there. he never asked anything from me but to go there with him. i met his mom through phone, though i dint understand his arabic words, i know she's kind and he told me that her mom really love to see me. I gave him till january 2006 to think if i will be going there or not, but because of this post, i think i really have to take a risk than to be sorry for my whole life, i think i found the man of my dream. we met last august of this year and until now he is consistent with his love for me, sometimes im the one who forgot to send him a message but he always find time for me, though most of the time he works very far from place where internet is not accessible. again. thanks for this post.

I am so happy to see this posting. I also have the most wonderful, caring, devoted egyptian husband. They all said he wanted his visa!! Oh yes we got it and he is here in the UK as we speak, but we are moving permanently back to cairo before summer 2006. He came here only because I asked him to come, He had no wish to come to the UK as everyone thought.They all feel a bit foolish now actually and they all adore him and realise all the horror stories they hear, dont give a true reflection of the people. STOP knocking the EGY man please!!!

It's wonderful to see that you're sharing ur great and positive experience about Egyptian men, husbands, bf, whatsoever. However, I think that they are many ppl who show their positive attitude - perhaps in different matters. Anyway, the positive voice of a person about real relationship is needed very much.

Have you such a shallow mind, and cant you think of anything positive to say? . How about having that as your new years resolution?

I am an old prune with a sexy ass barely legal egy husband. I pay his expenses and he pays me back in multiple orgasms every night. MMMmmmmmmmmmmmm.... Yummy. Sorry, back to the subject of my diseration. I don't give a damn how many wifes he has as long as I am happy. I smuggled him to America through the Mexican border in the truck carrying chickens. I would highly recommend a fulfilling and enlightening marriage union such as my own, preferably with more than one young husband: it does wonders to our complexion, girlz!

In 2 days it will be my third wedding anniversary, which is 3 years longer than anyone expected it to last. I am pleased to say that my husband is a great guy, not perfect but loving and he tries his best. What more can you ask.

yes yes.
You know I also once shared a house with three other people. Two guys and a lady. That was the rule of the commune: Two ladies and Two guys at a time. Within one year I got to live with 9 different people. Ya lahwi!
I have so many stories!
So please you start Ngeg!

Shoshara-you have the wrong end of the stick. There is another thread about shared living experiences-you know shared flats/houses etc.Nothing to do with being negative toward Egyptian partners. Im unsure why that upset you so much? Have you ever stopped to think that maybe some of the ( female) posters on here are actually Egyptian themselves? In which case they would probably be unphased about compliments to Egyptian men, as they have them as fathers brothers husbands etc and probabaly already know what others are finding out about them-ie they can be wonderful in your life.The worlds a bigger place than just Britain you know. British people....

Who is this piece of Eurotrash!
I have a perfect life. And I donīt give a sshit to explain to you how it looks like.
Now itīs your turn to find yourself an Egyptian studman to tell you lies about your fat ass. Iīve seen hundreds of your desperate likes hanging around feluka boys and would do anything for a `shag`.
And youīre not even woman enough to read my reply.
So go to hell.

I thought you said you wouldn't read my post Ms. Eurotrash! So why did you huh? huh?
And why are you then at YOUR computer all day?
And I never knew you had any husband. I didn't give a damn to read your posts or even knew you existed before this black day.
Yeah go cook a meal for your Egyptian husband. After the 5 decades you lived alone it's fun to be a servant for any dog isn't it?
Aal get a life aal! And do you think you have a life? And do you need to explain that having a chat requires a mouth? Why what did your husband teach you otherwise then?!
I can see very well different points of view. Especially those of your likes that would do anything to get their daily shag.
You're the reason why they're distributing those AIDS folders in Luxor.
Shag you
(now singing: Shag like an Egyptian!!)
