I hope my message finds all of you well.
I am an American who married an Egyptian here in Egypt in 2022. I applied for a spousal visa for him to join me in th United States however I am having some concerns.
We met on social media. I approached him as I was very attracted to him. We spoke for many months before I decided to go to Egypt. When I went to Egypt we fell in love, got engaged, and got married. He is divorced from an Egyptian girl and his mother has custody of their two kids. I come back and forth to Egypt every few months to be with him until his visa arrives.
when I met him he was very open minded and accepted me for all I was. He was love bombing me in a sense. After we got married things changed. He started to belittle me. He would start to complain about how my life was. He would make me dress more modestly and also tell me which friends he didn't feel comfortable with that I had.
when I go to Egypt I bring money with me that we use for ourselves and the kids… grocery shopping and all. He doesn't work. He is 36 and I am 45. Yes I know the age GAP but I look 20 lol…. Anyhow, he doesn't work and his parents help with money and pay for the kids. So yes he lives off what I bring with me money wise while I'm here.
the main problem is the way he treats me as he is quick to anger and so bossy. I have looked at and threatened divorce a few times bc I am just exhausted from all this. I do love him and he tells me how he loves me every day but the actions seem otherwise.
I would like to know what is the cost of divorce in Egypt. We got married at the Marriage court. I don't know anything about divorce here. Also to mention this will be his third divorce if I leave. I have researched cost but there is none.
I do love him but I can't take the treatment. I have done so much for him and his kids monetarily not to mention paid for his immigration visa and my trips here.
has anyone had a similar situation and also how would I know if green card is on his agenda?
thank you to anyone who helps me!
