with you. our culture is very different from others. being with some muslim men requires alot more sacrifice from a girl from another culture. it seems like men are harder on their wives when they are not muslim b/c they feel the need to please their parents and prove to them that this american girl can be a good wife. many of my uncles are married outside of my culture and it  had its strains but my grandparents never interfered because my grandfather always said a newley married couple has it hard enough getting used to eachothers' values and morals and baggering them doesn't make it better. i am muslim but i was born and raised here. i met my husband in jordan and we got along very well but it took me 6 months to even consider marrying a man from overseas because of all the things i had heard about men being so controlling. when we got married and came back we had our kinks that we had to go through but he understands me and understands our culture here. and i  understand him. but in my eyes if this man is obsessed with pleasing his parents he will remarry a muslim girl.........all in all if a man takes "the love of his life" from her parents then he doesn't really love her regardless of his culture or religion. because all muslims know that you must respect god first and then your parents throughout your life. and she should not even be there with him without consent from her parents and it is a sin for her to live in his home and for him to touch her before marriage. so obvisously this gentlemen is not a true man or muslim.
