Hi, I need advice about my fiance and his family. My fiance is Egyptian and I'm Caucasian/christian/american. He lives in Egypt but is going to marry me next year and live here with me. I have been in relationship with him for 3 years now. He spent the past summer here with me and we got engaged before he went back to Egypt. I never met any of his family except over Facebook and a few small conversations on skype. I cannot talk to his parents because they don't speak English well so I only say hi and my fiance translates to them what I say. His sister in law who is also American lives a bad lifestyle and has not been nice to me over Facebook. I see she is an angry woman and curses all the time about any subject, smokes, has children with different men... His other sister in law in Egypt says bad things about me to my fiance's mother that are not true like I'm old or fat (by the way I'm only 26 and I'm not overweight). Recently my fiance asked me to stop sharing our pics on FB or anything about us because his family and friends gossip about us, I don't know why this is happening. He says that they are jealous of me and don't understand why the pretty American like me would marry him. Anyway, I deactivated my Facebook and so has my fiancee. I created a new one later and requested only my fiance's mother because I would like a way to communicate to her and know about her life there. I found today that she deleted my request. This hurts because I thought she was friendly towards me and liked me. I don't understand why she deleted my request. My fiance and I had agreed to name the first daughter we have after her and now I am concerned about that... How can I name my future daughter after someone who doesn't accept me? I don't know what to do now, should I ask my fiancee about it or should I just forget about it? Also, I am concerned about marriage to him since they are gossiping about us and I sense an anger from the women in his family. I feel like I'm not being accepted. My fiance and I get along great, we love each other so much. I don't know what to do and need advice. Thanks for your time reading this.
