Therefore, please post relevant information or advice for the topic. Thank you very much. Hello again Elaine, SMS loose??? Not in the least and that`s exactly what this idiot deserves. The reason for the ofri marriage, which is worthless, is simply because most of the men who enter it are already married and do not want the other spouse (or spouses – yikes) to know about it, or for you to know them. Don`t you think you really deserve much better than this kind of shabby treatment? All women do it!!!

Gradually, I realized that we were doing many trips to the ATM (he told me that all we wanted to do for our “honeymoon” was to take the small boats from the West Bank to the east); visit Banana Island (which I later found out was no entrance fee!); go to cafes and smoke shisha; eating out) was very expensive and I was too stupid/in love to question him when he asked me to get my daily maximum (£200) from each of my 2 Visa cards pretty much every day! Our `honeymoon` of the week cost me around £1200, then came the news that he had a blood disorder, which meant he had to go to Cairo every month for tests – more costs.
