I have been dating my Egyptian boyfriend for a year . His mom and I talk well with eachother . He doesn't help with anything . I pay all the bills , buy all the food and whatever he need . He won't give me any money when I'm broke . I am well educated , mixed Black , Egyptian , native American female . I understand that his mom comes first , mine does too . We are of different religions . He's had many relationships with American females . Is there something wrong with this picture . Why he can't seem to stay in a relationship ? I don't live with him , he lives with me . He's very degrading . His mom is so sweet . Any advice ? I'm American born with mixed culture .

I can only say one thing: DON'T. You will regret it for the rest of your life. I lived there for 5 years and saw many of those marriages. Only one or two worked out and that was because the men were Bedouin who are more educated and normal. thinking
than true Egyptians.

What a nasty comment!! you "Only one or two worked out and that was because the men were Bedouin who are more educated and normal. thinking than true Egyptians" If "true Egyptians" were not normal, why the heck did you stay over there for 5 years?!! Can you imagine how you would feel if I judged all "true Dutch" as being not normal?!!

You state all these deficiencies and need to ask what is wrong? Open your front door, kick him to the curb and change the locks and NEVER look back at that low life. You owe it to YOU to do this.

If you want to continue to pay for this man for the REST OF YOUR LIFE then by all means continue on. The writing is on the wall and flashing in BIG BOLD NEON COLOURS. I think you need to read it and act.

Is this a trick question? This is not even a close call. Of course you get along with the mother. Who would not want someone to pay all the bills and do all the work. Somehow, some way, you need a big shot of self esteem and when you get that or before, like tomorrow kick his sorry self out. You are treating yourself
Like sh÷the and at some point you need to address that. In the meantime no more men until you and your picker are fixed.

Yes kick the Egypt man out very soon and change your locks, I'm very very surprised you still stay with him, wake up he's using you.

Sure I'd like to make some money online.

Please let me know how much I need to invest with you first? Do you take checks or do you prefer Western Union transfers of cash?

I'd also like to know what the job might be? I need specific details.

Just read the 350 posts on this site and you will get the info you need. It is a very old game and probably best you not play it. We are lambs to the slaughter. Very few exceptions. But read the sites on this website and take heed.

Culturally within their own culture Egyptian men DO NOT DATE. We do however men in Muslim cultures do not date. They marry a wife with a contract negotiated for her by her family. If you believe he is 'dating' you that if an erroneous idea on your part as you are applying what happens in your culture (western) to what you are doing with this man.

Not sure I understand. Do you mean you assumed the Egyptian boyfriend was like your grandfather?

No . My grandfather treated my grandmother like a queen . The guy I dated treated me like I have to pay for everything and treated me like crap.
