Marriage and love and all that crap

Why are Arab men always angry at their wives 🤷‍♀️ Maybe I should work as a social worker or something because I tend to notice every behaviour when I am sitting outside.. and I noticed that Arab men always seem to be angry in the way they treat their wives.. Like when they are leaving a place, always ordering the wife around to just follow .. I am sure not all of them are as such, but probably plenty are, and my father was one of the worst..

I think it is many of the hidden reasons that I didn't even know they exist, that made me hate the idea of marriage.. Well because back then, if I were to marry, it had to be to an Arab man, hell, if my father was around, it had to be to a Palestinian too.. Funny, my sister was once giving me her "tips" on marriage, and was like; don't marry a Palestine, marry an Egyptian, much better. As if the only options out there are Palestinian or Egyptian since I am half Palestinian and half Egyptian. WTF!! What if I wanted to marry a potato?!!! Is that not on the table. And when she tried to arrange for my marriage, it was with an Egyptian man.. they might be her type, but the thing is, her and I significantly differ in personality, and I've always viewed his type of men to be jerks, but to her, he was a funny and great guy 🤷‍♀️

The very idea of limiting your options as to whom you should find attractive, whom to fall in love with, to a certain nationality and religion ruins the whole concept of love, and makes it like a nightmare!! In my society, women force themselves to fall in love with any guy who meets the checklist. In my society, marriage first, then you have all the time in the world to force yourself to love him ..ugh. Sometimes I feel sad that my mother was never happy with my living situation, and died before she feels the happiness of seeing me married, but I am also feeling thankful as hell that I never married one of those angry men.

Something else that always disturbed me about marriage too was that I had to have a man in the family approve it for me. First it was my father, and then when he left, it became my older brother, and I hate both of them!! Both of them are selfish and useless men, yet they get to play the role of my "owner". It is one of the reasons I hated marriage. I just didn't want either of them to ever have such control over my life choices.. Even if the man I will marry, was my choice, I still didn't like that he had to pass some sort of exam with them first!

@BittersweetPotato That is why my wife and I both walked down the isle when we got married; her dad wasn't giving her away!

I’m glad you never married for others… it’s a personal and HUGE decision. You would be living a different life if you had ended up with a man like you described above… and you wouldn’t be happy

To them it's just like how they make animals mate, put them in a cage and they eventually will, yet they have the audacity to feel superior towards other religions and societies :|
You can marry a potato
It's so sad how marriage is the ultimate goal for many people and not a consequence of love. But I do support you in marrying a potato whenever you're ready, if ever.
that sounds like a sad existence.

It's your life. Marry who ever you want. I think every man has disadvantages as well as advantages. At last I think no one cares about your choices

Certain Islamic countries don't allow local women to marry non Muslims. It's illegal! Women aren't chattel.

Welcome to the west.
