I read this story in an Egyptian newspaper this week. It tells the story of a woman who has been married for 8 years. A young man who lived in the same street proposed to her. He was known to be quiet and he kept to himself.
After marrying she fell pregnant. She had her first daughter and then soon after that she had a son. Her husband had a full time job. He worked as a nurse at a hospital. He was doing night shifts. She asked him to change his work time but he said the manager wanted him to work during the night because he trusted him.
On different occasions the husband came back home drunk. He started to have fights with her. In Egypt being drunk is not a good thing. The woman also started to get phone calls from other women wanting to talk to her husband. She was not happy about what was happening.
One day she decided to follow her husband to work and see what he was doing. She found out that he didn't work as a nurse as he told her when he entered a night club. She asked the security guard about him and he told her that her husband had worked as a singer at the night club for many years.
The woman was not happy. She filed for a divorce. She said she didn't want her children to have a father who was drunk and dishonest. The court granted her a divorce and ordered him to pay money to her and her children every month. The woman said that her life dramatically changed. She does not want to go back to her husband because she is angry. She said she would find a job and start a new life with her kids.
