Well..............thank goodness someone said "Run" after the previous replies to the OP's second post. I sat on my hands today because I thought my reply might sound too cynical, but please ladies. don't encourage the OP to continue a relationship which will only bring her a lifetime of unhappiness. To the OP. yes. of course he cried, and sobbed and promised to change.............they all do, the philanderers, the users, the wife beaters. Why did it take a long heart to heart before he realised he was behaving so badly? Because he doesn't know any better, he has no concept of anything other than indulging his own desire, but he will be very adept at convincing you that he is oh so. so sorry, until the next time. It's called being a sociopath, he can never be "normal". it will always be about him. And that sadly is something that will not change. There are decent men out there, don't settle for worse than second best, and don't even begin to think that you can fix the unfixable. And being alone is not as bad as losing your self............which is what will happen if you try. LT, I understand you, but all we can do is wish her luck and that she will make the right decisions based on what is best for her, no? After posting on this forum quite recently asking for lengthy advice about a wedding she seemed quite set on, she has now postponed it after a unanimous response from other forum members she doesn't even know. That's a step. Every time I see posts on here that I can fully relate to regarding dodgy men, I also want to say RUN, especially when there is no marriage or kids involved. I'm very empathetic to that stuff and my heart aches. However I think Bonbon is smarter than we are giving her credit for, and she knew what to do before she even asked. She just needed validation. Now that she has some support, I am sure she will do what's best for her. I truly hope so.

Thanks Lola, my doctor seems to be good..just that I am very irky about vaccinations. Not sure whether 2 yrs is right age for this or should I wait till she is a little older as in any case from what I have read, this vaccination can be taken anytime from 2 - 55 yrs..I have too many questions. Have you given this vaccination to your child? if so at what age?? Please Google the possible effects of Meningitis. That will cure any "irkyness" about vaccinations. Get it done as soon as possible. And count your blessings that as a mother in 2015 you have the opportunity to spare yourself and your child a lifetime of pain and suffering.

Sorry Maroosh, but "when the love has gone" shared religious beliefs are not going to be any kind of a glue to hold the marriage together. There is a big difference between "staying married " and being married. And divorce is not unheard of in even the most devout families. To the OP. if the religious upbringing of your children in your faith is important to you, then you need to talk to your fiance and find out if you can come to an accommodation by which they can be shown both paths, your faith and his secular beliefs so they can find their own way. Good luck, I hope you can work it out. edited by Livelytrish on 14/01/2015 Edited to add........... I am a little perturbed at the idea that children would not be enough to keep a marriage together after the "love" has gone. In real life, that is exactly what happens. the "in lurve" couple become a family. <em>edited by Livelytrish on 14/01/2015</em>

So. why are you going to marry him? Oh yes. because he is a lovely decent guy. Except that everything you write about him indicates that he is neither of the above, he is immature, selfish and has little respect for you as a person. If he is like this before marriage, then I don't hold out any high hopes for your future happiness, you have to ask yourself about your own motives, it sounds as though you are letting your desire to get married blind you to the reality. He may well be better than your previous boyfriends, but not by very much. Sorry to be so blunt, but you did ask. I honestly think you are worth more than the very second rate choice you are talking yourself into accepting. Good luck.

The Rubella vaccine, produced by Merck & Company was taken from an aborted baby during the 1964 rubella epidemic when some mothers were advised to have abortions, rather than risk their child being born with Congenital Rubella Syndrome. It was from the 27th baby aborted and immediately dissected that the active rubella virus was finally found. It was commonly referred to as RA27/3, where R=Rubella, A=Abortus, 27=27th fetus, 3=third tissue culture explant. The abortionist collaborated with the Wistar Institute to collect the aborted babies in order to isolate the virus. The vaccine virus was then cultivated in the lung tissue of another aborted female baby, approximately 3 months gestation. And just what do you find morally, or medically wrong with that? Once the poor parents had made the agonising decision to spare their unborn baby a lifetime of pain and suffering, the fact that their short existence would go on to save the lives of millions of future children, and spared generations of parents the torment they had endured, must have been very comforting. Their deaths were not in vain. And to use the term "abortionist" with all it's sinister connotations is shameful. Do you regard transplant surgeons as bodysnatchers?

Several of my Mum and Dads friends including my Mum died in their 40's all from with a variety of cancers. There were 6 of them in total. They all would be in their 70's now. I often wondered why there were so many people diagnosed in the 1980's Possibly for a different thread topic, but over the last few months I have been astounded by how many people at home have been diagnosed with cancer. People from in their 40's upwards. It really makes you wonder what is going on, or what went on. I watched a documentary recently on Chernobyl and think there is much more damage that has been done to many countries than we were ever told or will ever know. The cancer statistics are skewed by three things, firstly, we are better at diagnosing disease, secondly, we talk openly about the C word now (a generation or two ago the word was unmentionable) and thirdly, and most importantly, we have prevented deaths (in the developed world at least) from many many diseases which used to be mass killers. Antibiotics have virtually wiped out death by blood poisoning (a mass killer pre 1940's) and modern anesthesia means surgery is no longer almost always lethal. Children now rarely die from heart defects, adults routinely survive coronary events which used to be a death sentence. If cancer seems more prevalent it is quite simply because we don't die from all of the above. Oh, and did I mention vaccinations? They virtually wiped out TB, another mass killer, within the space of a few years. Not to mention Polio. Scarlet Fever, Diptheria, Pneumonia and Measles. If anyone ever needed a reminder of the importance of vaccinations just take a walk through any cemetery predating the 50's and check out the ages on the headstones. In my opinion, not vaccinating a child should be a criminal offence, it is quite simply child endangerment. Parental rights are not paramount, every child has the right to be protected from pain, suffering and potential disability. no matter how much a parent feels the need to believe themselves more informed than the common herd. <em>edited by Livelytrish on 07/01/2015</em>

Cottage Pie. Put the meat in a food processor, add onions, carrots, and mushrooms if you have them. A stick of celery is good too (in fact I chuck in all the veggies I have bits and pieces of) Add a couple of tomatoes, or a squeeze of puree and some beef stock (from a cube) or any gravy you may have. Process until not quite smooth, season with salt, pepper, and a dash of Worcester sauce, chili flakes if you like a tiny bit of bite. Place in a casserole dish, top with mashed potatoes and cook in oven till the potatoes are browned on top. Grated cheese on top if you like. (About 30 mins in medium hot oven) If it is a big piece of meat, just freeze half the processed mixture, a great standby to have.

OP, he's still trying (and partially succeeding) to control you, he's just changed tactics slightly. You MUST sever all connections with him and his family, change your phone and email and any other contact details and blank him. And stick to that. Anything else will drag you down, which is what he wants, and he will still be in control of how you live. Good luck, it must be very unpleasant and unsettling for you, but you can console yourself that you have had a very lucky escape. Whatever you do, don't let yourself be dragged back into a very destructive situation. edited by Livelytrish on 04/01/2015 <em>edited by Livelytrish on 04/01/2015</em>

I think Brits have always been a nation of expats, it's something in the genes, For many it's a sense of adventure, for others a case of the grass appearing greener.and for some a chance of a new beginning. In any case it doesn't mean that Britain is in such dire straits that leaving is the best option, and the majority do eventually go home. In spite of its failings (and don't we Brits love to expound on them, especially from a distance) UK is still for the majority a very good place to live. Here in Cyprus there are many expats who have chosen to retire here because of the weather and easy going lifestyle, but very many of them eventually return home because it is only there they can get the support they need in old age. The majority of the complaints about the state of Britain stem from a very raised expectation of state provisions, the NHS and transport systems are the usual targets, but when you live somewhere these givens do not exist, then Blighty starts to look a little less grim. <em>edited by Livelytrish on 30/12/2014</em>

Oh dear Nomad, my heart is going out to you. After so many years in your lives it must be a dreadful loss, I remember how we felt when our dear old Albert crossed the bridge, he was 21 and as my son pointed out, had lived longer than my marriages! They are all part of our life landscapes, especially after so many years of love and shared experience, and losing them leaves a huge gap. Is there any way you can put him to rest in the garden under a new tree? In May my darling boy Ruffie died in my arms peacefully aged 11, not so very old but he had been on a wing and a prayer for the last seven years (ever since his three week adventure lost in Dubai when the EW oldtimers helped so much in the search) . He's now sleeping under a plum tree, surrounded by lavender and roses, we call it Ruffie's tree. Sending you a huge hug and love, Trishx

These murderous thugs are only powerful in regions where law and order are at best minimal and at worst seriously compromised. Their strength lies in their ability to instill fear in the vulnerable, and they will continue to do so until they are prevented by robust local law enforcement. And I cannot see that happening any time soon. This is less about religion and more about power, and unless there is the political will to transcend patronage and corruption, nothing will change.

They are dried limes. the small local limes, not the imported bright green ones. Sometimes called Indian, Persian or Omani Limes, and used dried and ground in many Mid East spices, they impart a lovely smokey yet citrussy zing to soups and stews. Most supermarkets have them, they look like very large nutmegs.

It was a case of a bad husband, who was a closet homosexual, whose wife was murdered in an area very well known to be dangerous, that they should not have been in. I feel for her as that must have been a scary way to die. We were not in the court room and have to believe that the judges in that room made the right decision based on the evidence they had. It read as though a very important witness was far from consistent in their information. This could explain his face throughout. That he was not scarred as he knew he had not done it. God knows. Well, I watched the entire court proceeding this morning on TV (there were live cameras in court) and I have no doubts.either to his innocence of the crime, nor of the totally incompetent and corrupted police investigation. But the judge was a very impressive lady and her logical and measured decision did much to redeem the SA legal system in the world's eyes.

That is unbelievable!!! edited by Geordie expat on 08/12/2014 Did you watch the judge's pronouncement, and her forensic dissection of the evidence? Nothing unbelievable there. The poor girl's family are in a turmoil of grief (and possibly guilt over the marriage) and are confusing misplaced vengeance for justice, And the SA police (no doubt under political pressure) were desperate to prove that tourism in the country is still a safe option. Because of his somewhat confused private life, Shrien was all too convenient a scapegoat. Today's ruling does not change the tragedy for everyone personally involved, but it is a triumph for the rule of law over public hysteria. <em>edited by Livelytrish on 08/12/2014</em>

If you're retired it's still a great place, not so good if you have a business or need to work. A lot of shops have gone out of business in the towns but in the villages life goes on as normal. In the long run the crisis may prove to be a good thing, the EU have forced the government and banks to clean up their acts, a lot more transparency and hopefully less corruption and nepotism. But it has been painful for ordinary Cypriots trying to make a living, not sure if the economy is truly back on track yet. But for us, or anyone one else not dependent on an island based income, it's pretty much like Paradise.

Depending on what he has done, affects whether people are willing to help. And sorry OP, i doubt your husband has done nothing wrong if he has been held for a year.

It may sound harsh but I have little sympathy for any woman - no matter what kind of psychosis she may have or how little support is given - to purposefully murder a defenceless little human. I *could* - maybe - bring myself to understand a teen who fell pregnant and did something like this - some misguided young people take greater risks and dont think of safety or long term consequences. But this is a 30 year old woman. Doesnt part of growing up mean you do the right thing under the circumstances no matter how hard? How is it ok to kill someone else just because you have mental health issues or no help? Harder than admitting to yourself or someone else that you cant do this, here you take this baby because I am not the right person to look after it. How hard is that for a 30 year old to do? The thought of sympathy and talk of support for such vile people makes me angry. What bit of "mental health issues" do you not understand?

Go to Target and Macy's. Check out prices on the things you might conceivably be buying back in UAE. Target for household bits and pieces, especially towels and bedding, Macy's for clothes and cosmetics, all much cheaper than in UAE. In fact cheaper than just about anywhere! (And if you've ever looked at Crate and Barrel and shuddered at the prices, check out a store in the US. MUCH more affordable.)

That sounds like classic passive aggressive behaviour, and not exactly convincing as a proof of innocence. She's trying to make you feel in the wrong whenever you raise an issue. Even without the missing items that, for me, would be a big warning light and I'd let her go as soon as was convenient, if not sooner. It's never going to become a workable employee/employer relationship.

It is interesting to note that not one single poster has commented on the passive participation of the husband in all this... clearly he must have noticed the poop, lipstick, and other dramas that are happening? What has he done to help remedy the situation? If he has done nothing - he is equally guilty! I did mention the word manipulative in my post, I suspect therein lies the key to the husband's apparent acquiescence to her behaviour, i doubt very much if it is a relatively recent phenomenon. Who knows, perhaps he felt that a move closer to her "home culture" might improve things? Anyway, it's time he was made to confront the issue.

I think the OP mentioned nationality because her nightmare guest made it an issue when she persuaded her husband that her expectations and behaviour were a cultural norm. The woman is obviously an extremely manipulative and dangerous individual, she may or may not be suffering from PND but she is. from all that the OP describes , suffering from some kind of personality disorder. The OP's husband, as employer has to confront his new employee and explain that due to his personal circumstances he cannot be expected to fulfil his new role adequately, and in view of his spouse's condition he should return home where she can be treated appropriately. He should also point out that beating a child is illegal, as is the throwing of shoes, and that as his sponsor he cannot condone this behaviour. <em>edited by Livelytrish on 29/10/2014</em>

Absolutely LT, I agree he will pay for the rest of his life. He has to look in the mirror everyday. What sticks in my throat is the fact that because of who he is his justice was so very different from others who serve much longer sentences for far lesser crimes. "Bars do not a prison make"...............I think Pistorius was in effect born in a kind of prison, from which he escaped but now through his own actions, he has thrown away the key. Other people convicted of crimes have only their liberty to lose for the period of their sentence. The whole affair is just so very, very sad.

Do any of you ladies honestly think that sending him to prison for a gazillion years would really send a message? Women in the townships would still be abused and killed and bullies world wide would go on tyrannising women regardless of whatever verdict the court arrived at. I hold no brief for Pistorius, from day one when he appeared on the world's stage I thought he was a deeply unpleasant and highly aggressive young man, and indeed I do not believe his story of self defense for a second. He had a tantrum and the result was catastrophic for poor Reeva and her family, but also for him. He has lost everything that he built up as a bulwark against his very real handicap (which only the most insensitive of beings could deny as being not just physical but deeply damaging to his psyche) and he is still only in his twenties.............he has a lifetime of regret for what he has done, and what he has lost as a result. And worst of all, no real chance of ever regaining that which defined him as a human. And that in my book is punishment enough.
