Why does my muslim husband from lebanon not let me go around his friends or want me to know where his going?

Question

I am an american woman married to a lebanon man, muslim. He does not want me to go with him to see his friends or nothing, he always want me to wear pants when im going out. No makeup? Why is that

Answer 1

you married a relgious guy without learning about his religion. Are you daft?

Answer 2

I don't know, have you asked him? His behavior may just be a part of his own cultural/religious mindset. It may feel to you that his attitude is a violation of your trust and respect, but remember what different worlds you both come from and also why you married each other. Only you can decide whether you can live with his behavior, which I say again is probably rooted in his own culture and faith. I think you need to determine whether he's just your average Lebanese, Muslim husband, or a control freak. You must be respectful toward his feelings, but your husband must be respectful to yours as well. He should have the under-standing that you were brought up in a strange culture too!!

You two kids really need to talk. Communication is the key to understanding, and any relationship will eventually require compromises from both parties, from time to time. You married a Muslim, how much have you learned about your husband's faith and culture of origin? How well does he understand yours? If you and your husband can't accept each other for who you are, you will both be unhappy. I hope you can find a happy medium, and create a happy life together. Good luck to you both!

Answer 3

It could be culture related. Hopefully you did some reading up on the Muslim culture before you married him, right? I do know that (for the most part, as part of the culture) Muslim women do not wear makeup and cover their faces, so maybe that's what he's used to. The whole idea for them is to not look attractive in public because other men shouldn't see them that way.

Answer 4

Well
I Have a Question for You
Are You Trying Please Your Husband or Please The Other People

Your Husband is Trying to Protect You from the Other,,,That is them way to Protect Them women,,,,and that is the Different in The Culture

and he is trying to protect you for him self,,,

But You Can wear Lil'bite Makeup ,,
You Can Dress all sexy and Stuff at Home

and Talk to Him
because Both of Your Culture is Different
so Sometimes you need to Talk and Get to Agreement
Because There is Alot of Behavior Might sounds wired To You and Also There is Alot of Your Behavior Might sounds wired To Him

I Hope my words Makes sense
peace

Answer 5

With all due respect, you married a Muslim man and you actually need to come to Yahoo answers to find out WHY he instills those rules on you?

Wow. I see that perhaps communication may not be the high point of your marriage either.

Do yourself a favor and read up on the customs and beliefs of middle eastern religions and men.

Sweetie, you should have educated yourself prior to saying, "I do."

Good luck with this one!

Answer 6

It's a religious thing. Conservative Muslims want there woman covered up so they won't tempt men.

Many Islamic women cover their hair as well.

Answer 7

Perhaps you should try asking him?

And y'know, sweeping unfair generalizations aren't everything (I tend to think they're nothing, actually)--you know him as an individual just a little bit better than I do.

Answer 8

Because he probably has a Muslim girlfriend.

Answer 9

Because to him you are like a chair, a piece of property. I'm sorry to say this, but, this is the Islamic view and why we must oppose it. I wish you luck in your situation.

Answer 10

You should have looked at that before marriage, he has every right to do that to you.

If this is a serious post, which I doubt.

Peace!
