Love Is Blind Habibi Reunion: Where Control And Love Means The Same

[@iamtheboneofmysword607]

The problem with Ammar is, why choose a woman who tells you she loves to dance and isn't too concerned about having kids when you want your wife to not dance and it's important to you to have kids.... choose a woman whose values align with yours.

[@melodazzze]

Yes, it’s hard to remember what he even liked about Karma in the first place…?

[@jodyml6965]

He wanted to possess her and/or no one else was interested. My other take is she is his pixie dream girl…he likes the idea and artist nature of her but not the actually person.

[@Xenia2604]

Maybe jhe wanted four women - we don't know how well off he is as a dentist ahahahahaahah 😂

[@crazylittlepartytifs]

Because he doesn't want love and commitment with someone who shares his alleged values... hence the double standards... he wants to destroy and control an independent happy creative woman

[@jodyml6965]

How did you even get there? Seriously, how why you don’t even know anything about who you are talking too. Geez

[@olinebar7193]

Chafiq is someone I would stay away from. Very immature, aggressive, manipulative, judgmental, self centred. Has a looooot of growing to do. I am sorry for Dounia for still being so inexperienced and not being able to see that through

[@Riri_45]

First of all, the scene when Nour was supporting Karma gave me goosebumps. Women should learn to do that more often. Secondly, I was watching the show with my husband, and we happen to be Tunisians just like Karma, when Ammar was convincing her that no " middle Eastern man would approve of her dancing" and he was yelling, " get lost we are not middle easterns" 😅 it was funny seeing him cheering for Karma even though he hates the show.

The audacity to think they are “leaders”

[@dearbh1736]

I am a 60 year old woman who watched the show in Ireland. I had many similar concerns to yours but the dynamic between Ammar and Karma was particularly upsetting to me. Having listened to you break down what was behind his behaviour towards her makes it even more upsetting but so good to hear and understand. I was horrified by his expectations of her which he expressed so nonchanantly as if it were a given that she would immediately say 'Yes darling'. I have watched the show in other countries and there are always a few loose cannons both male and female but all the men in this were really hard to take. I couldn't imagine any woman wanting to be with any of them.

[@Pirelli24]

I couldn't see any real men being with any of them. It's why only one couple got married. It was the women who ruined it. This women will probably stay single into their 40s.

[@itachiwife8670]

It's Dubai... there are a lot of fake people there, and they knew what they were doing when they casted them

[@tonichan89]

Typical men, right ladies? Being overly emotional and reactive. They need to calm down and smile 🙃

[@tonichan89]

The bottom line is that he Ammar said himself that he is supposed to always get his way. If he doesn't like something, whatever he wants, she isn't to object. She's just supposed to say okay. His feelings come before hers, ALWAYS. That's not a partner you care for. That's just a servant.

[@RS-vo2wi]

babe i'm middle eastern and when i saw the reunion ESPECIALLY the part with ammar and karma i was so angry and sad.I hate this ammar guy so much and when i say ammar i dont just talk about this guy but all the ammar guys that think the sme thing about women.and when i open tiktok and see girls drooling over him it saddens me so much.Also karma is right there is no "norme" in the middle east in which men have to be the fkg leader and protector or whatever . Honestly men like ammar are the reason why i trust so much in the 4b mvmt

[@genekay5940]

Ughhh exactly, I stopped watching after 2 eps I couldn't watch him anymore, how much he was love bombing karma and trying to control her even in the beginning before they saw eachother with his fake jealously/sternness. He even said he's looking for a stay at home wife that'll ask him permission before doing anything!! Did ppl just ignore that? He definitely chose karma because she's driven, strong and he saw her individuality and wanted to be the one to squash it, like some stupid power play, hate people like this. Happy to see that she Walks. Away. 👏

[@anamariadorofte1559]

Girl your commentary is genius and so spot on

[@katarinkasweet]

When I was watching this show, I couldn't help thinking that the culture many of these cast members grew up in creates a bunch of the most insecure people with most fragile egos. That if "your" woman or man even looks at someone else, it makes you lose your sh*t. But it can't be a generalisation for the whole Middle East, because some women were so confident and emancipated. Let's hope it gets better. Another thing I noticed is that most of these men are dangerous predators. Like when Ammar said about a look that can hurt more than words or touch and everybody agreed. That's because THEY themselves are the same way. They would see a woman dancing, and they would lust all over her. They are projecting their own behaviour on other men and want women to take responsibility. And I wish they would only "look" at other women, but I don't believe that. Ammar gives me creeps.

[@sonataoth1111]

No you got it wrong cuz in Middle East most women who are dancers are sluts and a man can easily pays one to sleep with, it’s like a stereotype that’s why he wouldn’t like any man to see his wife as a slut and believe me no middle Eastern man would support that 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@tonichan89]

My god, I can't with this man's bullshit. "And then we can discuss it afterwards" AMMAR, you already said you can't accept it and that you expect to always have your way! What is there to discuss?!

[@KaylaIveigh]

[@genekay5940]

@39:41 I absolutely gagged. I'm staying mad! They think this thinking is justified? What fcking planet are they on, "It's hard to listen to No even from the woman I love." Come on. Sounds a lot like "I will not be denied." Childish

[@ernestavalenciute6279]

Oh my God, I was such a Dunya and my first love was Chafic. He was just more elegant in manipulating and gasliting me, but the purpose was the same. To make me insecure and craving of his atention. You can become miss universe or balerina ir the most sexy and seductive or most inteligent, it will never be good enough. Schizophrenic relationship.

I love your passion on this topic, the absolutely disgusting behavior from the guys should not be normalized under any circumstances. Love love love this commentary!

[@Zhenevjev]

I'm a semi-professional bellydancer from what would be considered a Western country and let me tell you something about the hypocricy of "oriental" cultures which are the origins of this beautiful art form. They explicitly forbid and have problems with Arab women taking part in dancing but for the Western women it is fully allowed and Egypt is full of clubs and restaurants which are hosting foreign dancers. These clubs are always full to the brim and most so, not exclusively with tourists but locals and natives as well. The hipocricy is real. Also every dance is in some way "sexy" because it emphasises and uses the natural softness and limbness of a woman. If you have a problem with dance - you have a problem with women and their nature. I saaaid what i said.

[@witchf4ce310]

If you have a problem with women dancing, you have a problem with women and their nature!!!! YES! Spot on

[@smilesBUTT]

Okay, I caught that too. He’s testing Dounia. Her interactions with men and to be honest I thought he wanted to trigger her after laying down the law on what was expected of her with her and other men. He was going to see how far he could push her boundaries and then belittled her for having those emotions. Like I can be jealous but you cannot

[@aj0d7A02e0w]

I'm in a process of reading a book called "Why does he do that", which is about abusive men. What they say in the book, is basically that the biggest part of what makes a man abusive or controlling is his male role models he saw when he grew up and yep the culture around him. So, unfortunately, when those men from the show say it's a cultural thing, they might be actually correct. I'm not saying it justifies anything, just wanted to point out this fact. And, by the way, the book is fascinating and horrifying at the same time, you should check it out.

[@nouramouctar817]

I did not enjoy this show at all and I skipped most of the episode but I love KZbin videos about it especially the reunion. Arab society and broadly patriarchal societies have a lot of double standards and this show showcased all those aspects in my opinion. I watched and liked other love is blind shows to some extend but there is a very special mix of toxic behaviour in this particular one. Maybe they intentionally chose the most toxic people to create drama who knows.

[@0ocheesecakeo0]

Chafiq also did a podcast with his girl and said he talked to more than a 1000 girl before the show (his words)

[@itachiwife8670]

He said that to belittle Nour, like ”she's nothing to me”... but he just made himself look like an easy playboy guy. And it's even worse if he remembers nour at first glance when she's supposed to be one of the thousand girls he talked with lol

For myself I looked into being on LIB bc it seemed like fun. I had no expectations I’d find love or make it out of the pods, at most I’d appear in the background or something. It just seemed like a fun experience to have, then all the stuff came out about how cast was mistreated and I was like maybe this wouldn’t be fun at all! I’m not saying pple who go on aren’t going on for clout, but it could also be they just wanted the experience. So when Mohammed said he had no expectations of finding love I was like I see you man. 🤝🏽

I agree with a lot of things but I thinks it's too jugmental to judge about other people's love, preferences. A relationship, marriage takes effort. Love grows. The difference between western culture and other more conservative cultures is that people is the west needs to be in love first then they figure out about other requirements before committing to marriage. In other cultures they try to match most of their requirements in a partner, get married and try to make marriage in to a love relationship.
