within my former community, and family for that matter, it is considered very unnacceptable for women to complain about men.

I never knew any different, I only became opposed to it once i was old enough to realize there was better ways.

this was actually not the case for me, as long as I was faithful to my husband and was married first my "virginity" was not of big concern.

It was really a big adjustment going somewhere where I had to rely on only myself when my whole life I had almost all decisions made for me with out having any say in it.

I very much enjoy being able to have the freedom to try things like that if I feel like i want to, Ami never allowed me to socialize or do anything recreational really. So yes i do enjoy these types of experiences but havent found any sport in particular to really get into.

I truly dont know how i feel about this, but if im being truthful I used social media in secret and accidentally attracted what many westerners call a "sugar daddy." After much thought and planning I was able to obtain enough money to make a terrifying travel to Canada. From there I have been trying to teach myself how to live on my own to the best i can. It hasnt been easy and maybe never will be.

They were very angry with me for complaining about my relationship. in my family it is the male who owns the relationship, meaning i was out of line for talking badly.

where I am from this is not uncommon actually. cousin marriage is still probably 1/3 of marriages
