CAUGHT!!!
SubhanAllah....so it begins, my friends. I called my hubby at his work number....someone answers and says he's gone to Toronto today. "Will he be back tomorrow?" I ask. The confused person on the phone has no idea. Hmmmmm.....strange, but okay.
So I call hubby's cell phone. He answers. Small talk...what happened? We haven't heard from you, are you having a hard time getting a ticket?? He says to me....
"I'll be home in 8 hours."
Here in Egypt, I says? Yes...he'll be here in 8 hours. He answered his phone in Amsterdam awaiting transit. I blew his surprise. LOL!
But you know what sticks out to me? He said I'll be "home".........isn't that a thought??
Anyways.....here it comes.......

that's awesome! i know a lot of people are like bash the guy, dump him, move on in your life, blah blah blah. but i'm all about saving marriages and doing everything possible to save a marriage. alhumdulillah he's making an effort and hopefully he's come to his senses and making it a surprise???? wow, boy have we come far!!
i wish you good luck and may Allah be with you in everything. keep firm in your conditions and requirements and whatever happens it's for the best. if the marriage is saved, thank Allah that it is saved. if it ends in divorce, thank Allah that it is done. best for you and the the boy and the girls and the husband, insha'Allah.

as salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu,
I know it has been difficult ukht Safa but I don't know i'm feeling very optimistic about this and Allahu alim. I so hope that, despite all that has happened, it really works out between you and your husband and you guys can mend some bent fences b'ithnillah. Notice I said bent and not broken. I pray that Allah az wa jaal heal your heart and allow peace, reconcilliation, and unity to ensue between you and your husband, his family, with your beautiful(mashaAllah)girls, and everything else inshaAllah, ameen. You guys are always in my dua'a habibti, wa salam

subhanallah...Well it is SOMETHING that he is coming and wanted to surprise you and the kids.
I take a little from the first two commentators and a little from the third one. I am also hopeful that things work out. I mean, even if it took a third party to shame him into coming so swiftly, it must mean something that he came. It doesn't seem like he would bother if he didn't care even a little about the marriage. At the same time, I also pray that Allah will keep you strong and not let you be swayed by emotions. I hope that things work out the way that is best for everyone insha Allah. Take care!

Safa...there is a tickle of joy in your words that I haven't read in a long time. I don't have anything to say. You have a lot of people that have shared wisdom and knowledge with you, but I just wanted to share a moment of hope.

I'm also about saving marriage but there's only so much one person can do on her own. So let's hope HE is coming to save the marriage, with an ongoing effort. That would be great...Good luck dear safa

I agree with everyone. Let him try and make it up with you. If you can't forgive him is something else, but let him atleast try. Insh, this is the beginning of his big effort to right all his wrongs.

Salaam Alaikum,
I find it funny that everyone is now jumping on the "save the marriage" bandwagon. I have always felt that you will remain married (regardless of whether polygyny is in or out of the picture) and have thus ALWAYS tried to encourage you to come to terms with his shortcomings. My advice has always been to focus on you and him because whether it's Crystal, MM or anyone else -- your marriage is about you and him. Bottom line is that you are a devoted Muslimah, who is married to a man (who clearly feels he has the right to be polygynous) who you share 5 children with. I don't think you OR him are going anywhere.
I guess that I have been waiting for you to just accept this and stop trying to convince yourself that you won't or can't. I think it's time you get off the pot -- because you clearly don't want to sh*t ;-))) LOL!
Stay off the pot, Safa, and make the best of what you have (and he offers).
Love you,
