He definitely planned it from the beginning. In his mind, I think he was hoping that she would love it there & would want to stay, as unrealistic as that actually sounds. But because of Iran’s laws & culture at that time (& still today, although a little bit better), he knew he could do whatever he wanted without consequence. It’s fucked up.

I didn’t see the signs and was very naive about the culture. Over the years, he became emotionally and verbally abusive...I believed everything he said, that’s called BRAINWASHING! He kept me away from my family, American friends, banned me from attending church, criticized and berated me, took my paycheck only to give me $10-$20/Wk and the list goes on....Those who know my story say I should write a book.

Many foreigners get locked up in Thailand for lese majeste (insulting the monarchy) which is an incredibly broad definition. Most are pardoned by the King of Thailand within a few weeks, Thai nationals on the other hand can be locked up for ages. I love Thailand I’ve been there five times, I learned its best not to ask anything about the royal family, make sure you don’t crumple money because the kings photo is on it, and do not look or stare too long at posters or billboards of the king and royal family. The locals take it very seriously as the king is considered the leader of the Buddhist faith in the country. Many taxi’s have the words “Long Live the King” across the windshield. I was there once and didn’t know it was the kings birthday and had a black shirt on, the hotel staff stopped me before I left the hotel and politely explained that wearing black on that day was not a good idea so I went back and changed.

My dad is Peruvian and Catholic and was just as abusive as this guy. It's men.

Yes, but religion can also play a role for why these men mistreat women

People just do not appreciate the freedom that the US Constitution Amendments and Bill of Rights provides. Even here Americans so often dont realize the Rights we must cherish and protect from all threats foreign and domestic.

Never never never go to Iran. No matter how they plead or cajole. Once they get you in Iran, if you are married to an Iranian, you are considered Iranian. Your American rights no longer count with their government.

My sister in law who grewup in Catholic faith and with Bouddhiste values ( she is mixed) is dating a Muslim who grewup in Europe. It’s not only her dating a Muslim, but him dating a non Muslim. As long they both make it work out … it’s a normal couple with way more subjects to discuss and find a middle ground.
