I haven't been on because my fiance seems to think I spend to much time online and so I now spend most of my days with his mother. I really don't think I was ever on alot, I posted,but I didn't live on here!!! Anyway, I'm OK and we're working on it. He apologized for leaving and I apologized for not being more "attentive" to him. Thanks for everyone concerned,but I am fine.
I'll be back when I can.
P.S. MIL has been teaching me how to cook and I deliberately try to burn everything and eventually take 2 plates home for us and she cooks and I get the credit! Posts: 833 | From: Egypt | Registered: Dec 2006

It's good to know your alive, and that you've been spending time with MIL. What makes me curious is that you don't seem the type to enjoy that sort of thing often, or without complaints.
I mean the rest of us love it. But with the language and culture barrier, it does get exhausting. You just don't seem the type to enjoy.
What you been cooking? How about posting in the food section? I'd love some of the recipes.
Good Luck!

So, Josette, you are finally cooking? How do you get along with your MIL? Hopefully good. You know his mother it's the most important person in his fiance's life - sorry to disappoint you.
Good luck with burning pans! Posts: 30135 | From: The owner of this website killed ES....... | Registered: Feb 2004

No I am the most important person in his life and as for his mom, I like her. She is nice to me and laughs when I burn things. She says it will come with "time". Ya right lady! She is very dear to me though,she said I just have to learn her son's ways and that once I do that, everything will be fine.

Mother and God are the most important things in their lives, If you think you are the most important person you will sadly be disappointed. Let's face it, he wouldn't walk out on his mother and disappear for two days without contacting her. Good luck

But her saying you just have to learn her sons way? Comon. With your history. I can't believe she's not trying to accidentally burn you in the kitchen?
Where is that such an issue? India....Pakistan?
Sorry.......had to say it.

And you are so right...
In the west we have a saying...
A daughter is your daughter for all of her life But a son is a son till he takes him a wife....MEANING once a son is married it is his wife who is no 1......
BUT IN EGYPT....
The mother will always be no1.....not you....
He is sending you to his mothers so that he will know where you are, and everything you have chatted about will be relayed to him on his return..... FACTPosts: 290 | Registered: Feb 2005
