Hi,

It is really sad to read about all the negative stories you ladies have experienced with Algerian men. You have to be realistic though and ask yourself why would a Muslim man want to be with a Western woman? What do they gain from it? What can you gain from them? Very few 'mixed' relationships work well and every day can be a challenge. Love, honour and trust go along way but compromise is the key. Do not be a doormat but also do not be a overly willfull. I wish you all good luck in your relationships and hope that not all Algerian men are as bad as some of these stories portray them to be. Western men are just as bad, this you must remember.

My Algerian husband and I have been to hell and back but we remain married and happy for 7years. Be careful with your life choices and treat yourself the way you would want someone else to treat you. And always, always have a plan B to fall back on. Men are should not be your only source of income, love or providers of self worth.

On another note, a woman is never responsible for her being violated, drunk or not. There is no excuse or point to place blame on the woman. A man has no right to violate a woman - EVER. Our bodies are our temples and only we can give permission to what happens to them.

My husband wanted me to mention that he is deeply saddened by this thread and wonders whether it is actually not more damaging than helpful. We wish you all the best. Remain vigilant and realistic. Be happy.
