And most divorces seem to happen in the first 2 years. (Arab news et al.) Considering how easy they are for men and how un-prepared to deal with a spouse Saudi men and women are (and spoiled in general) - no surprise.<br />Actually: My marriage failed as my wife yould not STAND it here. But hen a divorce is not really such a bad thing, just costly and hate-provoking in the west (and east, I guess).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980283061775077738.post-30225686998016793572007-04-18T22:05:00.000+03:002007-04-18T22:05:00.000+03:00Of course a Saudi guy has the option to get a seco...Of course a Saudi guy has the option to get a second (third/fourth) wife if current wife gets too uppity!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980283061775077738.post-61286749022546112972007-01-18T01:17:00.000+03:002007-01-18T01:17:00.000+03:00totally agree with (Expat in Saudi)

I find, to my disappointment, the family areas of restaurants and cafes to be usually not so nice, with no view (what's wrong with one way glass so you can look out?) and usually round the back or up the stairs or suitably out of the way. Maybe I'm too sensitive but I always feel relegated to the back entrance as an inferior being. However, having a wife in tow will enable you to get into all the shopping centres previously not open to you as an unaccompanied man. The places to go for fun(?!) are now doubled.Expat in Saudihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05501321900938053634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980283061775077738.post-49099558263632255482006-12-12T03:47:00.000+03:002006-12-12T03:47:00.000+03:00I love your blog!
