[TOMT][MOVIE][2000s] Set in the middle east a family gets separated after a bombing. Supposedly the brother and cousin are unaccounted for. People say that the cousin died and that the brother escaped. At the end they find found the brother actually died and the cousin lived.

I can't seem to remember this movie that I watched on IFC when I was a kid in early 2000s. It is definitely before 2008, but I would say after 2001. I just remember at the end they reach this place where they think the brother is and the cousin, who they thought died, opens then door and they find out the brother had died instead. Sorry if this is vague, I've tried looking for this movie everywhere.

I (32 F, US National) live in the Middle East. My Muslim neighbor beats his wife, and I don't want to be her friend due to the violence in their marriage. Do I continue to make excuses or tell her directly?

My husband and I live in a large, mostly Western compound in the GCC. Within this very large "neighbourhood"-type community, there is a smaller, tight-knit network of families from the company my husband works for.

We all essentially live in the same neighborhood, many of them work together (those that work), sometimes our kids go to the same schools. This network comprises the primary source of our social connections; we raise our kids together, get together with people from this network for dinners, go on outings, etc. As a result, you naturally become very close to some people.

Within this network is a particular woman, "Charlotte". She has been with the company for a long time, and has since gotten married to "Bob" and had 2 kids during her time here. It is important and relevant to note that Charlotte is a US citizen of Pakistani heritage, Bob is Moroccan, and they are Muslim.

I was immediately warned about Charlotte because she tends to be very clingy, petty, immature, gossipy, and jealous. We did go to lunch a few times, but my spidey senses were heightened when she started going on about how our daughters were going to be "best friends" on like the 3rd time I'd ever seen her ever.

On one of our lunch dates, she divulged to me all of the myriad ugly details of her horribly abusive marriage (much of which happens in front of the housemaid and in front of their two children). Thinking that she was asking for help, and having been involved in a situation of domestic violence myself, I spent the afternoon with her essentially being her counselor: asking her what her resources are, reassuring her, going over all of her options to leave.

It became very clear to me over the course of this conversation that Charlotte has no intentions of leaving, nor does she seem overly concerned with the fact that her two year old had to witness things like Bob screaming with rage and threatening to kill Charlotte, for example. It was very weird and uncomfortable, but the well-being of her children was like an afterthought. It became very clear to me that really she was just using our lunch date as an excuse to unload her emotional baggage so she could return to her shitty marriage refreshed. It honestly weirded me out so much and I was so upset for the rest of the day.

So. Let's get something right off the bat: had we been in the US, I would have called CPS immediately after this conversation based on the crazy shit she was telling me. But I live in a Mus

Marriage in the Middle East

I was recently in Palestine for a pilgrimage to Bethlehem and our tour guide was a Palestinian Christian. What surprised me most was the amount of diversity for example his mother was orthodox and father is catholic his son married an Anglican and the other a Lutheran. It seemed like marriages across the faith were the norm due to the small amount of Christians in the area. I was wondering is this permitted by the church since Christians there are so so few and need to stick together to survive.

Marriage and divorce. Why is there so much of it in the west and not in the middle east. *with sarcasm*

Now you all know that in the west is a large amount of divorce rates going on leading to a low fertility rate which is affecting the amount of jobs in those nations especially in Europe.

So what can be the answer and most importantly what is the problem in the first place?

My parents always told me its that since women have so much freedom now along with no repercussions for adultery and that they split the money 50/50 has led to many divorces and to solve this issue we should put more restrictions on women, punishment for adultery yada yada.

Now for repression of women doesn't seem right to me. What is the best way to deal with this issue or if its an issue at all?

Perhaps its just a natural thing to have an open marriage rather than just the traditional type? I'm not sure about it but please send me everything you know about this.
