He might have some mummy issues. King Tut. Funky Tut.

MAYBE HE STILL LIVES WITH HIS MUMMY IN THE PYRAMID...........

Anyone can help me?...I want to know what the real egyption guy mean...I'm sory if my question look's like a stupid quest.

Eyptians, people from Egypt.

I have dated several middle eastern men and currently am sorta dating one now (if you call 2 dates in 5 months dating LOL)....

Abuse and controlling can occur in any culture. Depending on level of acculturation will depend on where they open to western values or the values of their origin country.

its not just controlling,he picked and chose my friends,i couldnt go anywhere without him and because i wasnt giving him all my attentions but to my son, he said it was him or my son!!..he has turned nasty and started sending me nasty texts all the time.he mentally abused me and controlled even my thinking.ive always been a strong minded women but he messed with my head.its very hard to explain as i have never been controlled by a man before.it was actually really scary.i really think he was mentally deranged!

i cant explain to you what he did.he had a way of messing with my mind!!..i know it sounds stupid but he actually made me think i was worthless!!!its all about bullying and mental abuse.he was very good at controlling and playing with my head.until someone has been in that situation i wouldnt expect you to understand.i too are still trying to get to grips to why i allowed him to do it!!

Now we get to a real issue here which only you can answer. Take this as an opportunity to find out why. Not blaming you.....but take a look at you....so this doesn't repeat itself.

A man will only do to you what you allow him to....set the standards for what is acceptable and whats not, right out of the gate. And I find an abusive man will not prey on a strong woman

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. If you don't like how someone is treating you, all you have to do is walk away. What bothers me is you're actually blaming his cultural background for his behavior, I've known all sorts of men who were controlling and emotionally abusive- white, black, Asian, Hispanic, etc. It's not someone's culture that causes them to be an azz and it's up to you whether or not you put up with it, it takes two people to have an ongoing unhealthy, abusive relationship, the abuser and the one who allows themselves to continually be abused.

I'm not a parent, but if I was, no way in hell would I allow a man to put himself before my child and I don't feel sorry for any woman who was "forced" to do so. As for someone messing with your mind, no one controls your thoughts but you. I've made some bad choices in my past and I've apologized and tried to make up for them, but no one made me do anything. I'm not trying to be a b!tch here, because obviously I don't know you, but it really irks me when someone blames someone else for their own behavior. We make our own choices. I hope you make better ones in the future.

I came across a lovely 18" djembe yesterday, and it found it's way home with me.

I've often wondered what other cultures thinks with the drumming and belly-dancing too.

------------------------

I do judge somewhat on their cultures, though obviously the individual person himself is what's the most important. I wouldn't get involved with those of an obviously culturally different view of how people, and especially women are treated. There are two many horror stories that I've heard, along with those who end up having kids and the kids disappear into those countries when a divorce happens.

There's also the religious differences and that's always been a concern of mine. My dad was/is a non-practicing Catholic, and they discussed it on the second date, that mom was an atheist. Dad really didn't care, and since he wasn't so devoted to the Church, it didn't matter. 5th or 6th date, and the topic of kids comes up and mom was clear on the fact that any kids would be raised neutrally, and allowed to make their own decision. Again, dad was fine with it. We were not forbidden to go to any church growing up, but it never became a big deal. They hashed out all of those issues beforehand and stuck to them.

It's more him than it was the culture, based on what I've read in your comments, jenny. He wasn't representin'. However, based on my own personal experience, despite what LeighAnna said, I am staying far away from Aussie women. You would have to handcuff me to one to get me to go out with one again. So stay/go, it's your choice. Whatever you feel comfortable doing.

i loved this man..he made me feel special and then when he had me he then started to control me.he said it was because he loved me!!..i did everything for him and he used my big heart and generosity to control me.i was warned by many people that egyptian men are like this but i wouldnt listen because i did fall in love with him.my friend also met an egyptian and he too was wonderful to her..she couldnt believe her luck,he was funny,caring and made her feel special.i did warn her that he may change but she too didnt believe me.but in time he started changing,he told her she looked like a prostitute when she went to a party one night.she only had a dress on and wasnt showing anything off..he also pinned her down and cut all her hair off as he didnt want her looking nice for anyone else! she had lost 10 stone in weight after a long time of battling with her weight.for the first time she felt like a women and decided to grow her hair long to look more feminine.when she went to see him he cut all her hair off!! needless to say she finished with him..so its not about us its about them feeling insecure with us and feeling the need to control and abuse us.

ive walked away now and getting my life together.i havent seen him for 5 weeks although he is still texting calling me names..my son will always come first and he needed me and i will always be there for him.thats my job as a mother.my partner wanted me to himself and didnt like the thought of sharing me with my son.he was very selfish and wanted everything his way.i tried to compromise and give both my time but mentally i still am exhausted its a situation i will never put myself into again.

Until I go through this kind of situation I won't be able to understand that it can't be explained? I think it is pretty easy to explain, you didn't have self-confidence and you achieved that by dating someone that probably for a little while told you that you were beautiful, and then...when it all changed...you stuck around for?
