Taleexi Posted May 28, 2012 By: Hassan M. Abukar May 25, 2012 A Somali woman here in the US—with whom I have been acquainted for more than 10 years—has recently told me that her husband of 8 years is into something. She has grown suspicious of him because he has started taking annual trips to East Africa, something he did not do before. I happen to be a close friend of a man who is a confidante of her husband. “Can you check that for me?” she asked. My first reaction was one of bafflement. When I told her that I wouldn’t do it because I thought the whole request was, not only, unethical but rather bizarre, she began to recite a litany of complaints about her husband. “He is in this marriage because he loves the good life that I have provided for him,” she said. Her husband, on the surface, is a gentle, kind, loyal, hard-working, and highly educated man who is close and kind to her family. She is active in her community, and the husband is the one who is perfectly content to be in the background. If there is anything unusual about this couple’s relationship--barring the unknown—it is the glaring disparity in their income. The wife is a doctor who makes four times what the husband, a social worker, does. However, he has been gainfully employed since I met him more than a decade ago.

Age is determining factor for Women...Above 30 years "Yaa alaah bay ka taagantahay" dumarka...Haasaawe is beautiful and intriguing with younger nubile girls "mukurka iyo macaanaynta waaba intay ku wacanyihiin", older women tend to be serious and straight forward,,,, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taleexi..i won't find it bizarre as it happens in our community often..Unethical..perhaps--I am sure you have been cautioned trying to mediate between couples... nonetheless her concerns are legitimate...until otherwise proven. Now you mentioned HER FAMILY...well hasn't she been good to his family & his well being as well? Do they have a family of their own? They should talk & work their issues out..since they seem to be enlightened to know that something has changed in their lives. Maybe he should invite her to this trips (yes her schedule is busy) but docs get some time off ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NGONGE Posted May 29, 2012 Oops! I made a couple of visits to Somaliland in the past couple of years. As for the article itself, I can't stand the idea of talking about your marriage to anyone. Worse still, I could never understand how Somalis do it. The rest is stuff and nonesense. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A_Khadar Posted May 29, 2012 ^^ I'ts stuff and nonesense because of Taleexi wrote it? Good read, touches lots of reality and life points of marriage and relations.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NGONGE Posted May 30, 2012 ^^ Seriously, Khadar? p.s. Taleexi simply posted an article from another site. My opinions regarding that make no difference to him (unless you consider your friend a school kid that gets worked up over every throw away comment he sees, of course). This is Wardheer News by the way, A&T's second home. Wax fahan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
