WOW! That's beyond harsh. I think this is even worse then leaving a divorce message on an answering machine. (which has also happened). I guess as long as there's new technologies, someone will break up with their "special" someone by using it. "I divorce you". WOW! That's beyond harsh.

I find it hard to comprehend that all a man has to do is say "I divorce you" three times to his wife and they are divorced. Especially now when the husband has calmed down and wants his wife back, she technically is no longer his wife. Cultural differences are always so hard to wrap your head around. I work for www.firstwivesworld.com and we have a video blogger named Sarah who's in the process of a seperation. She opens up so much it is so touching. The saddest thing is that she and her husband love each other so much, but she is Episcopalian and he is Egyptian. They have been married for 5 years but are seperating mainly because of their cultural differences. It is so hard to understand for me because I have never been in that situation but they obviously love each other, but have decided it is the best thing to do. It really makes you think.

Mikalika Hai, Mika Heini Ho. Mikalika Hai, Mika Heidi Ho. If I say that three times out loud, Jambi will banish me from Peewee's Playhouse. Islamic law = world-class suck.

"The doors of hell have opened on my life." It's easy to see why so many western women are flocking to the Middle East. If they're truly divorced, why can't they just re-marry? I love that quote.
