[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sponge: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Ayisha: [QUOTE] From the sounds of it he is not as 'modern' as the Egyptians in Cairo and the family 'could' be a huge problem for you. [QUOTE] Yes I know what you mean, he does work in a tourist area so knows more about the Western life, but he's very much a family man and it's important to him what his family thinks. [QUOTE] I think if you're not planning on marrying yet then he needs to tell his family asap, seems now that you are doing all you can, he needs to deal with this matter NOW so you can then deal with the reaction, which might lead to the converting on paper being the only option. You need to know now how this will go and what HE will do before you really go any further. Personally I wouldn't wait to be there to tell them, I would let him do this without you. [QUOTE] Completely understand this, and now you put it that way, yes - for him to tell them when I'm not there is probably for the best. In their village they still have a man who all the people go to to sort out problems so I think it's as traditional as you get (I'm not a particularly well-travelled person!) The family (and village) have accepted me so well so far, the days we have to say goodbye is terrible, his whole family and best friends crying, I normally start a couple of days before I leave! I just hope that they can see through their strict tradition and see me for the person I am and be happy for their son. They have obviously accepted him working away from the village and the 'normal' things their family do so maybe?? [/QB][/QUOTE]
