    Rated 4.5/5 stars (177 votes cast) Thanks for your vote!

    Last Sepetember, my best friend (R) who lives in Dubai sent me mail asking to give Mr.X, a close friend to her husband, a chance to get closer to me since he's searching a life partner aside from being well known for his distinctive character & graceful reputation, as local saying in Arabic "El shab ma 3aleh gabra". So, he is serious gentleman & I don't mind to give us this chance to know each other.

    rr

    One of the main obstacles was being resident in UAE, so we had to exchange video conversations, chats, emails and phone calls.

    Honestly, I can say that we were going ahead positively, but at the same time I was careful a little bit keeping in mind I have to be rational not driven only by emotions, because still there is possibility not liking each other in reality aside being too sensitive & I don't want anyone to get hurt.

    At begining of October, he left his job... started searching for another one. We have agreed to meet in the last Eid Elfitr when he got back to Amman. I totally understood the new unexpected conditions & agreed to shift the meeting till upcoming Eid Eladha advising him that time is meaningless when it comes to finding treasure respectful people.

    So, I kept supporting him without giving up at all, he told me that he has his own personal dream of not getting back home till he performed, he was looking forward to buying a home (already did), a car and marriage cost (halfly achieved).

    The sitiuation becomes like that; all what he has now 4000 JD & he was ready to waste the whole amount till finding the new job, there is a risk to be adventurous staying jobless wasting all what he owns till the last penny or getting back home keeping what he has & proposed for engagement, he adopted the first alternative, meanwhile I was still totally supportive & respectful of his choices asserting that If he faced bad luck, specially I am working young woman with very good income comparing with high expenses in Jordan, I'd still be helpful.

    During this time, two gentlemen proposed to me in a tradition way contacting my family (I believe in this way ;)), but I did not go through any, first of all I gave my promise to Mr.X, second I am not type of person who puting myself or others people in comparing sitiuation.

    Actually, he appreciated all what I did for him, nominating me his Queen & keep swearing that he could not find good girl like me since he feels I am his soul mate and he could not imagine his life without me! Once, he asked me If I recieved serious proposal fot marriage and If It's like that, he's is ready to get back Jordan since still he can do something and check possibilities If we can bind officially, but I told him that currently his future is most important than me.

    First week of November he did find a new job... The salary was humble one like the one in Jordan, also he has to be charged for renting house and paying residance fees, ya3ni bel 3arabi saving ZERO, in spite of all above I encouraged him to accept since he will get familiar to new experience and there is highly possibility to be promoted, highlighting if the sitiuation getting worse I'll stay supportive in all cases.

    In 19 November 2006, he disappeared suddenly without any excuse advising me that we need to talk and so we did. Without introductions listen Y, I could not come back before 9 months for residance rules, so go and see your future, stressing that we have to think right and choose between what we have to do & what we like to do.

    I got his point of view and respected his choice without discussion wishing him the best in his life since objectively he's good person, but what hurts deep is that (not 2no tar el 3arees lol as common saying Wink) but the fact that he put me in comparison with material stuff, car & collecting money. He replaced a good person (excuse me for being proud of myself here) with that, while I was not at all searching for my private interest.

    The most apparent diffrence is like, I believe that making money can be anytime anywhere, but finding good people happens not everyday, he was ready to burn 4000 JD for zero result but he's not ready to take risk of leaving what he has now for knowing good life partner.

    I don't have the right to judge him or to check who is right or wrong, but I think we have to strike a balance between what we like to do and what we have to do.

    The lesson from this experience that Priorities has to be common between any two searching for partners. Also, in my simple point of view the most important thing in successful relations not disappointing the other partner, It's not wealth, fire emotions, diamonds or just sweet words but this "Please don't disappoint me!".

    Now, he thinks If I'm still single when he got back I'll agree to discuss the matter again, but becuase who left me now will do later, who preffered money will not be changed after marriage, I don't feel secure If we got married cause the feeling of replacing me and kids with this again will not be good choice.

    Of course my article will not be objective since you have to listen to the other point of view.

    I have deep believe that God chooses the best for me, and I am narrating every details of what happened to help any may read this or to free negative energy after all.

    I am getting back now to my peaceful lovely life, decorating my office with flowers, taking care of my golden fish and dancing at morning before starting new good day.

    I don't feel too upset to go over this, since It was a friendship stage without deep feeling or meeting in reality beside being optemestic alhamdulillah.

    Special thanks for my Mom, my little cute brother Yanal(he is my nurse lol), Tamara, Halil, Dana and of course Memories Documented for giving me this precious space to express freely.

    I still respect you Mr. X & wishing you the best, but excuse me our choices are diffrent,Good luck for all.. ;)

    Other Memories Documented on November 21

    Memories....

    Ma3lish habibti. I think many men tend to be over materialistic and so I think you're better off without this man, you would have discovered eventually that this is how he is. So you have done yourself a favour- better to find out sooner rather than later.
    I know it is quite a blow/ insult but look at it this way- it's his loss.
    Frankly my dear, I do have some disagreements on what to expect and what not to expect but isn't it true that the society imposed these restrictions on men if they want to get married? Isn't it expected that he will be "ready" by having X, Y, Z , A, B, C or otherwise he will not be taken seriously!!
    Isn't it true that he's expected to pay for so much stuff just to get married. This is one thing that I think is rooted deep within our social structure, and quite frankly I don't agree with it, nor blame the people for having bad conclusions as a result!
    I quite humbly think he's also the victim of a society that doesn't have mercy, over young men at their early stage in life only trying to make ends meet.
    Even worse, what happens with time is that after marriage wife's demands are never over, she wants this, she wants that, she saw her friend do this or that, and naturally she wants it too. It's sad, but there's no way around it without some society wide change.
    May god bless you and grant you something better, something that you really deserve where you are the priority, not the result of the hard work
    Salam,

    Ya sitty!

    It's all about destiny, if he is your naseeb he will come around, if aint Alah be3teeky elle a7san menno.

    Anyways, everyone gonna hate me for this, but marriage is overrated anyways. LOL

    Peace

    Reading this, my eyes were wide open...thinking to myself in shock why on earth would Samer exchange video chats with a guy residing in Dubai???! I thought, business purposes perhaps...but then, why would searching for a life partner be made a point! THEN I realized that Memories Documented IS a shared portal of thoughts by diffrent authors! Excuse me for my blonde moment there!

    Red Rose, not to sound harsh but perhaps meeting you in person, he didn't feel the chemistry he thought the two of you shared on email, phone, chats AND the fact that he is not financially ready didn't help either ...

    Qwaider, what you say is true to a certain extent ...A man doesn't have to be 'filthy rich' and has X, y, Z, A, B, C in order to be ready for marriage, but he has to be stable enough to start a family. As far as demanding/not demaning/, well it depends on the family, the wife, and their lifestyle!
    Iman, there's a huge amount of obligations and demands imposed on males in our society that he actually reached the conclusion that ... He needs money to get married. Of course taking everything else in neutral as you have stated chemistry and physics might be to play here. But his excuse was along these lines

    Heheheheh Iman sar ma3y nafs elshi .. I said "sho fi ? malo esmallah 3aleh?!! " hehehe :)

    "finding good people happens not everyday" Very true !

    RedRose ...
    Ma fi 7d be7eb 7d bel7aky ...

    Keep in your mind enno howwe elkhasran and smile :)
    My friends,

    I understand marriage obligations on men specially in our society, I am not saying at all he is bad or something like that bel3aks he has many many good features.

    I did not blame him, keeping in mind he wishes me the good future, the problem that why he is ready to be adventuorous in money matters but he is not willing to do that for person as he he keeps asserting is very good one.

    I have no prob in waiting but kan 3endi hidden desire that he will be appreciated the sincere intents, nevertheless of results as I keep in mind maybe he will not like me as u said for physic or chemistry, the sitiuation was not in waiting  since I have no prob If he decided to get back to Jordan sure I am gonna help & time will not be matter because I am gonna believe that this person is ready to appreciate me.

    I narrated what happened not to blame any but giving example how sometimes issues be complicated and choices in life. as u said kol she 2esme w naseeb at the end of the day.

    Equally, women in our society couldn't feel 100% the pressure men face and thinking in emotional way. maybe I am still under stress yet and couldn't putting myself in his shose.

    I still appreciate and respect you Mr.X because you deserve that.

    First of all .. this was destined to happen .. and I always believe that if those things that we love and want most to happen did not happen .. then there is a God wisdom behind it ..

    I am not quite sure if he is to blame or not .. it could be true that he found himself in a bad financial situation and he did not wanted to drag you into that , becuase he cherichs you and he wants the best for you .. but again .. if you were his true soul mate why would he stop fighting all of the sudden ? If you were willing to wait I mean ! .. is it that he felt guilt for keeping you waiting ? so he decide to release the bonf between you ..

    I am just thinking loud after reading your experience Red Rose .. thank you for sharing it ... and as you said .. no26a o sa6r jdeed :)
    yes Dana, the agreement was If he came to Jordan just we will see each other  without specifying any fixed date for official binding (If all was positive), and the next step would be not before next summer. so It's not only financial sitiuation since he as I mentioned accomplished the most important part ( buying home) plus the new job he found not very attractive one.

    My point of view, maybe I am wrong, there are times we don't have to think in just with mind and wara2a w 2alam 24, there are things deserve to take risk of to get it.Also, I think in these sitiuations he has to discuss his decission with me not deciding alone.
    This experience shows how much Eve & Adam think in diffrent way "Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus".  

    It's Life forced us sometimes to choose in complicated formula.
    kol shi 2esmeh w naseeb akeed ;)
