Assume a roomate. Here are your choices:\n\n1). Party animal. Not religious, enjoys him/herself. Their life is an open book, too open sometimes but no mysteries. Sometimes makes noise but quickly pipes down. Misses shared chores on occasion but tries to make up.\n\n2). Self-Righteous Muslim. Very quite. Doesnt say much. You get what you think are disapproving glances from time to time, for no reason you can acertain. All shared responsiblities done on time. His/her personal life is a total mystery. Door closed all the time. Sometimes you can hear the recitation of Quran. Small talk is very pleasant but the existance of many taboo areas has stopped deeper dialogue.\n\n3). Self-Righteous Christian. Has fun with you on occasion then can be found sulking in guilt. There personal life is known to you and you feel like you can confide in them but sometimes dont for fear of christianspeak.\n\n4). Executive type. Always in a rush. Speaks in cliches. Always calls you "champ". Never talk.

I'd choose Door #3. Fun some of the time (much as I want); know it's not guilt for the fun, just quiet times of reflection and prayer. Know her better than know myself, and she listens to me. Cares for my hurts, wants me happy. I'm not describing what you did, but I am describing my No.1 and only wife.

I am Muslim, and I think you should re-post your Question in the "Religion and Spirituality" section under Society and Culture. You can also post it agian in the Travel Section underneath the country where you man is from. \n\nI am not married, but my friend is married to an Arab man and she is very, very VERY happy. He seems to be a very nice and loving man. \n\nIf your man is Muslim, then that makes a BIG difference. When you re-post your question, specify what religion he is..If he is a Muslim, then he will probably want you to convert to Islam, but you should only do that if you truly believe in Islam--dont covert for him, only convert for God.\n\nYou probably will No longer be able to cook with or eat Pork. Muslims and Arabs DO NOT eat pork, and we consider Pork to be filthy, nasty, and gross. Do not bring bacon, ham, and or anything made with pork into the home--that is a big No-No. YOU should also STOP eating it--as he may not want to kiss you or be intimate with somebody who eats pork. (I know I wont).\n\nHe will probably want you to not allow smoking or drinking in the home--those things are forbidden and considered a form of disrespect. \n\nI dont mean to sound stereotypical, but I've heard that Arab men are possesive. He probably will try to limit the time you spend with other people--but if he tries that--stand up for yourself. Dont be rude or be mean, but make it clear that you will do the things you enjoy--without him sometimes.\n\nI must tell you this: you must ask him if he wants more than 1 wife. I'm serious. I'm Islam, a man who is financially able, is able to have up to 4 wives. Even though polygamy is banned in America--many, many Arab men have 2 wives. I know this for a fact. In the mosque, I've personally known people who had more than 1 wife...So, before you marry him--ask him about this. You have the right to have a "Marriage Contract" which states all of these things--whether or not you will allow more than 1 wife. If you do not want him to marry another woman--say 10 years from now--you can say NO, but you must tell him this BEFORE you get married. \n\nYou should also bring up the issue of what will happen in case of divorce. Most Arabs, I think, believe that the Man--not the woman--should get custody of children after a divorce. So, make it clear how you would raise your children--if he is Muslim, the children are required to be raised as Muslims. \n\nBefore you marry him--this is what you should do: Tell him to take you back to his home country for a visit..Meet his family and see how they make you feel. They might be cold toward you because you are not Arab/Non Muslim--but see if you can form some kind of a courteous  relationship. If the women are cold to you--dont get too upset. Arab women are very cold. I'm a Muslim but I'm not Arab--and Arab women dont even speak to me when I say hello. It gets on my nerves that they act so cold--but you cant live your life worrying about them--just be polite, be happy, and move on..After all, these will be your children's relatives. See how it goes. \n\nGood Luck

It's not easy to live with other people. Sometimes it's even harder with friends because you have a history together and expectations. Sometimes kind, caring people can be clingy or make you feel guilty without meaning to. It can be easier to be roommates with a stranger because you can keep more distance, etc. \nLiving with a friend is different than being married. I'm not entirely sure why, but it is. My husband hated all of his roommates in college but he seems not to mind living with me most of the time.

Obviously appearance DOES matter, how can it not. You usually know appearance before personality (USUALLY). As for the rest, yoiu need to be able to talk to the person... so generally around the same intelligence level. Appearnce, you gotta care what you look like, not a slob please, but please not a couple hours to get ready either. Humor, you can't enjoy life with someone who can't laugh. There has to be SOME similar interests and/or political views. My wife and I disagree on a lot of issues, but not on the really serious major stuff, same with religion. It is hard to have a lasting relationship with someone who believes in the COMPLETE opposite. IMHO

I'm no expert by far, but perhaps these rooms are facets\nof your personality that you don't openly show? They could\nbe emotions, or maybe something you enjoy but avoid \nbecause it's not considered cool by your friends?

Your description suggests that you're looking at shallow qualities.\n\nThe best choice for you is neither.\n\nYou should pick a choice for whom you get along the best and have similar values.  No where in your description to you express this.  So the best choice is "neither."

Better neighbors than Christians...\n\nChristians will try to ban you from watching certain tv shows, stop you from reading some books, prevent you from buying some albums, and from having control over your own body.

Why live together?  Do you love the guy, and does he love you?  Is this just a temporary thing, until somebody better comes along?  Are you guys just horny, but tired of driving home late alone?  Exactly WHY do you choose to live together, rather than marry?  Isn't the roomie worth marriage?  Or is it you that's good enough to sleep with, but not good enough to be a wife?  You wonder why they don't like this arrangement.  Perhaps they think that IF you two belong together, you should be married.

I would say a dog. You will have a loyal trusted friend, who doesn't complain and takes you just the way you are. No changes necessary!

Hi\nVery genuine question!\nIn my opinion everyone has one's own individuality and we have no rights to make any goof-ups with their personality at all.\n\nNevertheless,if I were to choose a boy of my kind,I would love to reject the following things in him,which are:\n\nDouble-mindedness\nUnfaithfulness\nSuspicious-nature\nDemanding\nDominating\nFussy\nUn-supportive\n\n\nAnd the day I'll find my boy,I'll surrender my whole life to him.\n\nRegards \nPooja

Moral 1: Complicated plans come acropper.\n\nMoral 2:  A fart is funnier than a kiss.\n\nMoral 3:  Sometimes the prig (the Miller himself) comes out all right in the end, though accidentally.\n\nMoral 4:  Crude, earthy humor is consistent with having a religious mind.\n\nMoral 5:  People are sinful and base, but a good storyteller can make everyone laugh over human foibles.

I agree,\n\nA person's behaviour and actions are determined by:\n1- The way he has been brought up\n2- His genes which affects his/her personality\n3- The circumstances in which he has grown up\n4- His past experiences\n\nSo, where is free will?\nA theist may say that he should find the right way inspite of these factors. \nThen I say:\nWhy is he in such a disadvantageous situation than the ones who has been brought up decently, has good genes, has grown up in decent conditions etc... \nThe concepts "sin,heaven,hell,..." look irrational.\nThe self (personality) is just a pile of memories..

Well, since Jesus was known to hang out more with the non-religious folk of his time, he would probably feel right at home.  He would probably have more to say to the "self-righteous..." Something like, " I was hungry and you didn't feed me, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, a was a stranger and you didn't welcome me, I was sick and you didn't care for me, I was in prison and you didn't visit me..." You were too busy deciding who's going to heaven or hell...

At least you are trying, and you can tell the difference.  The good one is your conscience, the Holy Spirit, applying Himself to your life.  Bad thoughts, are fleshly, worldy influences, thus from the enemy.  Don't be stuck, be happy you have conscience, most of society does not care to acknowledge theirs!!!
