My family is part of team-baby maker. My mom married at 20, and my aunt at 27 both to husbands who locked them up (not because they wanted to). With my mom it was because my dad had a job in Saudi, so essentially the country did that more than my dad. My aunt married a strict guy who did lock his wife, he provides her with everything but as long as its home, just enough money where she stays locked at home and does nothing but make her children study. Before that she was an artist, she was ruined, and came complaining to me at one point. Then stopped. I really felt for my aunt. My mom's cousin married a dude who abused her. He threw her in the hospital, she now remarried to a good dude. But she's super pretty owo with long black hair. She also came complaining to me x.x (which I didn't deal with well). I wasn't nice to those people o .o but it's because I didn't know what to say or do. How would you know what to do when you're younger than even them. I wish I would have been warm to them but I was equally finding N-tendances of my dad which were stronger when he was younger.
If my views are biased that's probably the reason ^ points upwards. I wasn't taught to make my own decisions which is one of my major flaws. Which is why the guy who I liked very much hopped to another girl despite me for once saying that I liked him. He hopped to a foreign girl (which is another thing open minded egyptians do) they marry foreigners. Good for them, only the chances of the reverse e.g. me marrying a foreign guy = rarer. I am not saying it's 100% easy but it's easier for a guy to marry a foreign chick than a chick to marry a foreign dude. Maybe I am wrong but it could be because of my culture that I believe that.
As for what you said I wish you all the best, I am happy that you're in a happy place owo so kudos to you. I am sorry about your relationship not working (the previous one) you definately deserve better, so I hope you get all your dreams fulfilled.
I blew my chances at IBM at least. I had psychological issues and discovered jobs are alot like relationships...
I went into one not being ready and got striked, I can but I have to be an exceptional programmer. I'd love to be in something as big as Google? But I am not an exceptional programmer. The only thing that got me in IBM is my English, and I had a charming personality. The thing that got me kicked out was rushing and taking on too much, as well as being far from emotionally stable. (I have to be stable to get in a good job or at least I have to throw all commitments in a bag then go for a super good job because jobs = extreme commitment and if you're not stable they will eliminate you)
