Divorce
I need some advise. I have met an Egyptian man on a dating site. He said he was divorced. After a few months I found out that he in fact was still married and his wife was pregnant. I was in total disbelief that he did not tell me the truth and that his wife was pregnant. In all the time we Skyped each other she was never in their home. He told me she had gone back to her parents. If I knew this I would NEVER have continued this relationship. He is a Christian.
He informed me that when she was 3 months pregnant they had papers drawn up to say once the baby was born she will sign said papers to dissolve their marriage according to Egyptian law. Is this correct? All of this was only discovered the day the poor woman gave birth.Â
Unfortunately there are feelings involved but I am prepared to walk away for the sake of the child. Please I need urgent advise on what I have been told by this man according to the divorce law of a pregnant woman.

As he is christian he can not get a divorce easily, actually it is almost impossible. And why should she divorce him as soon as the baby is born?
Imho he is telling you lies. And that is never a good start for a serious relationship.
Good luck to you, Fransina!

Take care and good luck to you.
From my unbiased perspective, the known facts should guide you.
1.You have already expressed your shock at not being told the truth.
2. The fact that he found it necessary to lie confirms his knowledge that the truth would end the relationship.
3. Egyptian law is not the issue, living with a proven liar is,
Good luck.

How can you love a man who you met online and never in real life?
Fransina wrote:Thank you all for the comments. I am so conflicted. Last night over Skype he asked me to give him 2 weeks to short his problems out. Today his wife has moved back into their home which is good for the kids. They need both parents. Each time we talk he still professes his love for me. I don't know what to do? Is he just saying all of this just to keep me or does he really love me? I find this situation extremely difficult because today I had to admit to myself that I really do love him. I know I must let go for the kids but will they be better off in a house where the parents don't love each other or a home where both are happy in different homes. He said he wanted to come to me with a clean slate, after he had divorced her and was going to tell me in-person. I have asked the almighty to help me and guide me in the right direction.
He has already proven to you that he is a liar and a cheat. Â
Give up as this is going to go nowhere and will eventually see you making a wrong decision that you will regret for the rest of your life.Â
I have to agree with the post from Primadonna.
I too met my wife on the internet and was very interested but certainly not in love. How can love be established without personal interaction ?
He may well possess attributes that will allow love to flourish. Alternatively, he may be a drunkard, wife beater, adulterer and a litany of other negatives (He has already established himself as a liar).. At this stage you don't know him. You only know him by what he allows you to know.
I suspect you are in love with the idea of love and are subsequently heading for a ruined life. DUMP HIM !!!

And your heart will continue lo love
Even apart through  Eternity
At least you have loved
Take  Care of you

he can separate rom his wife unofficially, but it would be impossible for him to marry again. Here in Egypt, our traditions are against the 2nd marriage, especially that it is written in the Bible, that anyone who marries a divorced sins.
My advise to you, eave hi, he is not honset and there are 1000 others..
