any significant others here who can enlighten me about life 'over there'?
OK, I am posting here on ssauer's name.
My significant other (male), is considering looking at Middle East for so.
I am scared to death as a female about living there.... I realize I need to be culture sensitive, but would like to know how other American wives/sig others feel about living in a country where females are looked at as nothing more than being 'owned', the violence against them (stoned if thought to have an affair or other wrong deeds)- just what can I expect/be afraid of?
I am not a 21 year old who is wild and impulsive, but I am very concerned about living in a country that does not seem to like us.
I understand that we can live on the 'compound', but I still don't think I would feel safe.
Any wives/so's here? Female pilots? Guys, please let your wives respond...
Thank you.
