Dear
Egyptian Castle,
I
really don't
know where to
start? I am
recently separated
and presently
going thru a
divorce after 7
yrs of marriage
to a very mean,
controlling American
man. I feel okay
about this
really a lot
better, safer,
but the
transition to
being on my own
is very hard! In
the meantime, I
have met and
made friends
with a very
sweet, kind
Egyptian man, I
don't feel that
there is a
problem with
this, as we have
agreed to do all
things
properly...No
sex before
marriage...And
to take our time
getting to know
one another
before the step
of marriage, so,
basically, the
only concern
that I do have
is how to make
adjustments to
his culture? I
just feel that
at times I'm
saying or doing
the wrong
things? And I
want to take
care of this
before meeting
his parents, so
is there a set
standard of etiquette
that Egyptian
people follow as
I am new to the
customs of this
region? Please
email back with
a response and I
would gladly
take any
suggestions that
U have to offer
SHOKRAN for
listening and
have a wonderful
day! |
Dear
Mary,
First
of all we would
like to commend
you on getting
out of an
abusive marriage
that lasted far
too long. We
really can't
think of a
general or a
special standard
etiquette to
take as a guide,
since each
individual
situation most
probably will
have it's own
tradition way of
dealing with
it. Just
be yourself is
what we can
advise
you. The
Egyptian culture
is not something
you can adapt to
over
night. If
he lives in the
USA he will
understand where
you are coming
from and so
should his
family and
accept you for
who you
are. A
relationship
should be built
on love and
respect in any
culture.
We wish you all
the best. |
