I would go out with an Arab but NOT muslim

and let me tell you if he was starring he was starring because he liked what he was looking at, that lame excuse that he wanted to know what she was doing can be told to someone NAIVE but if I was told that I would give him WALKING PAPERS
Is your friend Sally Field?

But seriously, a fundamentalist muslim would be a no-go for me... They'd have to be the most casual muslim in all recorded history for me to have any interest. And before you bash me, realize I'm also not going to be dating any hardcore Christians anytime soon. First, because I'm married to a beautiful heathen and secondly, I'm spiritual, not religious.

Why should he? He doesn't respect you or any woman. And he believes that's the way it should be.

Is this your first experience with Middle Eastern men?

The real question is, if you're an ordinary American girl, why would you put up with a boyfriend who dictates what you wear?
Sure...if women must be covered men don't need to control themselves...and apparently he has no self-control.

I don't know if what your sister did was intentional but she did you a huge favor. If he can't stop himself from slobbering all over your sister, what does he do with women he doesn't even know?

This behavior won't change...because he doesn't want to change...it is his culture. Don't think that his concern over your clothing is concern for you or that his jealousy shows how much he cares for you. He probably sees you as an exotic pet...if you're not Muslim it is only a matter of time before he drops you or you convert. I wouldn't advise it.

The boyfriend is not from SoCal. AFAIK.

In fact I think the OP did say people where she lives do tend to dress the way her sister dresses.

So I see what CAOU was saying here. I think he may have a point...these two may just be TOO different cultures-wise.

I know I couldn't do it, terrible though that sounds. I couldn't be with a man who, culturally, felt that restrictive about women and was that serious about rules and the like. Just no way. I'm sure some women could. Not I and not the OP either, I don't think.

He lives there now. And he's far from a Puritan also.

I am spiritual BECAUSE I believe in Jesus and I am not religious. Enlighten me as to how one is a heathen and spiritual? Oh and I agree that the OP should run from this guy and fast!

Start to wear what you want, don't be his property and marionette doll. Why you want someone to controll your life? Of course rules are only for you, you are a woman, meanwhile guys wrote different freedoms to themselves to enjoy of life.

He said he is spiritual and the wife is a heathen.
