Oops...BUSTED!!! More Than 30 Kuwaiti Women Seek Divorce From Partying Husbands

To be fair, sometimes women cheat on their husbands as well. LOOOL!

More than 30 Kuwaiti women have filed for divorce after they discovered that their husbands spent the New Year’s Eve in Lebanon while claiming they were performing Umrah in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, a Kuwaiti lawyer said.

“Many husbands cause the end of their marriages by cheating and lying to their wives,” Abdullah Al Shibani said.

Spiritual trip

“At the beginning of this year, 33 Kuwaiti contacted me to file for divorce after they discovered that their husbands who said that they were on a spiritual trip to Makkah to perform Umrah in Saudi Arabia went in fact to Lebanon to celebrate New Year’s Eve,” the lawyer said, Al Seyassah daily reported on Tuesday.

Several activists and religious leaders have been calling for greater awareness about the significance of marriage amid alarming reports about the increasing rate of divorce in Kuwait.

“At times, we have the impression that divorce is a trend, a fashion, among spouses who put an end to their marriage even when they have to deal with slight problems,” Al Shibani said.

Trivial

“In a high number of cases, the husband files to divorce his wife for trivial reasons, such as when she colours her hair without asking for his opinion or because he feels she has a bad mouth smell.”

According to marriage counsellors cited by the daily, a large number of divorce cases are caused by “outsiders”.

Some husbands tend to share their home secrets with friends and allow them to interfere in their domestic lives and to encourage them to file for divorce, the counselors said. Many wives seek divorce after they are “pushed” by friends to get rid of their husbands, they said.

I guess once the women take a good chunk of the lying and cheating husbands salaries the guys will be left celebrating New Years Eve in Jahra this year. :P

A Little Bit of Paris and Prague

Grand Café Orient in Prague: Designed during the Cubist movement in 1912.

Powder Gate: Built in the 15th Century.

Church of Our Lady before Tÿn, Old Town Square.

Charles Bridge: Links the city across the River Vltana.

Old Town Square at night.

Astronomical Clock: Every hour, the bell rings, 15th Century statues of the Apostles circle inside the clock while a man blows the trumpet. Tourists gather every hour to witness it.

Lunch at Hotel U Prince in Old Town Square in front of the Astronomical Clock.

Steak with spinach dip, eggs and gravy sauce.  I avoided pork and alcohol out of respect for him.  When he was at meetings I made up for lost time. Teeheehee! The Czech Republic cuisine is filled with pork.  He wasn't a fan. Lol!

My Hotel Room in Prague...Not the Ritz Carlton but I loved the location.  I could walk to everything by myself while he was working.   

My room could use some pink in it!

Arc de Triomphe: This is the triumphal arch of Napoleon.

LV shop in the Champs Élysées.  I'm not a LV fan but we found his Mother a nice gift.

La Seine river cruise.  We have a photo kissing at the Eiffel Tower that turned out perfect. :D The view was spectacular but the weather wasn't as good as the last time I went there with my Mom.

La Dolce Vita ~ Italy in December ~ What a Great Idea


Since I do not have enough time off from work to go home for Christmas I was thinking to return to Italy for a third time. Should I visit friends from university again in Rome? Relax under the Tuscan sun again while I enjoy the Italian sweet life?

I can do whatever I want because I'm going solo and he says that's okay. This is a good sign. I plan on eating my weight in pasta, white pizza, gelato and sipping on Vernaccia di San Gimignano until I become tipsy. I don't even want to shop except for having some shoes made. Just the idea of planning my return to Italy in December makes me feel happy.

Turkish Delight ~ A Vacation to Remember


In 2009 I spent three weeks traveling around Turkey by airplane and private car. We took a ferry to a tiny Greek island for one day. The Turkish travel agency we used booked us in all 5 star hotels for reasonable prices. We had private Turkish guides at almost every major stop and they were outstanding. Our rental car was really nice and it took us up and down the mountains to the coast of the Mediterranean and Aegean Sea before heading back to Istanbul. Most of the Turkish people were warm and friendly. My Mother and I felt safe throughout the region except for a few run-ins with male stalkers. I would highly recommend a vacation to Turkey. All of the photographs below were taken by me. I hope you like them. :D
