		<description>Look at what this guy went through and how he dealt with it and you will find out that nothing really worth it. This guy&#039;s wisdom is second only to Buddha.

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;- Nizar:&lt;/strong&gt; You are still too young to get married anyways! When time comes you will just go say blindly ;p and marriage is the inevitable ending to every relation and in Islam it’s wajeb so don’t say you disagree or I will save this comment and blackmail you later on ;p 


&lt;strong&gt;- Elegant Chic:&lt;/strong&gt; I know don’t worry 


&lt;strong&gt;- Jojo:&lt;/strong&gt;  ensha2 allah you get a whole team full of them 

&lt;strong&gt;- Purp:&lt;/strong&gt; YES 2 2 2 2 2 1 ;p

&lt;strong&gt;
- Abdullah:&lt;/strong&gt; ya3ny your comment is very enlightening! Yes sarcastically speaking of course, I am not saying we are a burden, I am feeling it. 


&lt;strong&gt;- Neoark:&lt;/strong&gt; wal wal wal! I get what you really want to say from your comment but what you meant to say “ el nesa2 shar la bodda menh” ;p 


&lt;strong&gt;- Noon:&lt;/strong&gt;  Mo bas maddeyan, الشعور بإني كإمرأة غير قادرة على تحمل الحياة و بالأخص عند فقدان أحد المعيلين أو الوالدين صعبة 
Women are very strong and capable but emotionally speaking we are very fragile and this is what worries me 

&lt;strong&gt;
- Anon: &lt;/strong&gt; :) after this, I cannot add nor argue at all..

 
&lt;strong&gt;- AMU:&lt;/strong&gt;  Then we should both take it easy and it’s good that you have that nurturing nature in ya so I hope you do start a family soon :)


&lt;strong&gt;- KJ:&lt;/strong&gt; No, I am not a burden – financially speaking and 7amdellah, we are living good and as any parents in the world who are able to give, mine are simply generous and very caring and they sacrificed and still do a lot so my only fear is from the unknown backstabbing future and what it holds for us.. This again, is something that we can’t run away from.

&lt;strong&gt;
- Daddy’s Girl:&lt;/strong&gt; I hope your brother continues like that, mine unfortunately doesn’t even think of getting a job. Yes we are similar in many ways and both my parents still work and retirement sounds scary a bit – leave money aside, to them I think it will be difficult for them or is it something that your parents went through easily? And the reason I say burden is because in the Arab World, boys are the backbone of the family and reliability falls on their backs. As for marriage, not in any way I mean ready meaning to afford those extravagant items that are not even necessary bas it mainly means if I as a wife fail to keep my job for any reason, my man would be able to stand on his own with the expenses let’s say I get really sick or I have a child with a certain disability or a disease which requires his attention and assistance without complaining and guarantees that he won’t ditch it all for his selfishness and that we’ve seen a lot no!


&lt;strong&gt;- Nizar:&lt;/strong&gt; again, yes I assume they are because they managed to shed all the social phobias or one should say because they are different, they just don’t care


&lt;strong&gt;- Jessy:&lt;/strong&gt; What do you think of me? ;p 


&lt;strong&gt;- Intlxpatr:&lt;/strong&gt; Amen to working strong females and yes to being at least emotionally prepared! 


&lt;strong&gt;- Neoark:&lt;/strong&gt; You will be shocked but I know the rest wont but women can actually be physically very strong even more than a man if certain threats are imposed on them. Yes, we are “weaker” than men in our body structure but I watched on TV one time that if a woman is about to be raped, with a single squeeze of her thigh bones together she could protect herself! Besides all the nails and the hair pulling and the loud shrieking voice – tone if in danger ;p</description>

		<description>Even the very best husbands and providers can fall on tough times, and need to be able to depend on their life partner (wife) to save the family. A good wife is a good steward of her own wealth, and her husband&#039;s, and sets aside for the inevitable rainy day. A man can be suddenly unemployed, or disabled and a woman will be required to support the family. I have utter scorn for those who expect to be taken care of just because they were born female. Most women I know  - wives and mothers and single women - all work hard, and have a good sense of value. 

Hmm. I seem to be rambling. I am saying women are capable of amazing things, even supporting a family. We do it because we have to, and the smartest ones prepare themselves in case they need to assume those responsibilities.</description>
