Would Amy have received this number of replies had she not posted her display picture ?

Really? there was a picture of her?

i actually didnt marry and go to saudi.  after my saudi moved back and we broke up, he called me 6 months later to ask me to marry him that his parents accepted.  at that point i said no.  so his family arranged a marriage with another girl.  so i dated another saudi after that for a year, he promised to marry me, promised me everything under the sun, said his family was coming to meet me and propose marriage in the summer.  he went on a 'vacation' back to saudi, and then told me a month later that he was never coming back, and that it was somehow all my fault. 
so i am really mad, specifically because this summer i was offered a very lucrative job in abu dhabi, and i asked him if i should sign the contract and he bagged me not to because he was coming back to the states to marry me.
come to find out, he secretly graduated without telling me, and had been planning to never come back the whole time, after promising me for a year that he would never do that.
i would be fine that he just left, but i am soooooooo mad that i passed up a great job that i really wanted because he wasnt ready to tell me the truth, which to this date, he still hasnt been honest.
one thing that was good advice from americans married to saudis was to check their concept of honesty.  check their long list of double standards.  i am not suprised at all at what happened....i just fell like the biggest idiot ever, because if anyone shouldve known better, it shouldve been me.
now i am single, happy, and hoping to find a similar job for the next shool year in UAE...inshallah:)

goood for you ,, i am happy you didn't marry him

I think life is what you make it. If you tell yourself it is good/bad then it will be. I am also an American who married a Saudi and now live in Riyadh. I never was upset about it all. I knew from the start he planned to come here and I still married him.

I think being with my husband is more important then anything. Sure there is a difference all countries are but I never did anything crazy and wild back home so what am I missing? Life is life everywhere.

If your a good person you will not have any problems no matter where you go. You will be able to find a NICE paying job here especially being an American teacher. But will he let you work? My husband will not allow me to work. So these are common things you need to ask pre-marriage. Contact me anytime.

agree 100% with this vision ,

the world are different cultures , rules,religions,traditions , social live ....etc .

so, we have to choose : either deal with it or become unsocial .

hope you will enjoy time in saudia arabia

Somebody should lock up this thread (or any similar 'dead' posts, I guess...

oh my ,

Are Americans not accepted by Saudi ?

That comment could give me cancer !!

Hey there,

I am not a Saudi, but i live and work in Saudi Arabia. Please consider getting to know me... I assure you that you won't regret it.

Looking forwards to reading back from you

email: civilsmart@yahoo.com

Have a great time, always

basically what every one is trying to tell you is that you have to understand islam the saudi way
in order for you to be able to fit in , other wise , please don,t
if you have to come to saudi , i know young people like adventure  but don,t have kids the first year
then if you last that long you proof many of us are wrong

When I moved to Turkey I had lots of friends from Ireland because I live there for 5 years and they tell me oh there is not good work in turkey only in tourist places etc i was always interested in music and history and now I am history and music teacher in a high school and I love it so I think you should read into it more and get to know the family and go in with a open mind you never know what you might discover

Since your american you would be safe in many ways, Like if he treats you bad you can just call embassy and they will come to rescue you, I don't know about the children part, But they is a problem for local woman. If might not be a same case for american, I would suggest don't marry saudi guy or asian since he plans to bring you here. He could be a good guy but many are weird so wouldn't suggest you take chances. If you could move to uae it would better, You will get both cultures, Arab and western mixed.

guys, that thread is from 2009 !
