[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am Egyptian, my husband is Egyptian, and this lady OP is describing (if OP is not a troll) is not a typical Egyptian.

I give the lady a pass on the alarm/phone calls thing, because I'm assuming she assumes the alarm clock in her room is not audible or bothersome in your rooms.  She probably also assumed that talking on the phone wouldn't bother you.

Supporting niqab is not normal.  People who support the niqab are religious fanatics and should be steered clear from.  A garment like the niqab has nothing to do with Sunni Islam as it was practiced for many generations and has no part in Egyptian culture.  Half the people in Egypt would probably support a ban on the niqab, and the other half are miserable people who think female genital mutilation is ok.  Sorry.

Traditionally (and this is how I was brought up) if you are a guest at someone's house and they take you out somewhere, YOU pay for everything for your host to show your gratitude for their hospitality.  In fact, this lady should have asked you about your favorite place to go and offered to treat [youtube]you up front.  This is very much a part of the hospitality culture as I have always understood it.

This lady probably had a bunch of red flags to indicate that she was a jerk, but you and DH missed them.  Be more perceptive next time.

OP here. Thank you. This is very helpful. I have been very worried about my guest because she has not had ANYTHING to eat most days. Perhaps she does have an eating disorder. That did not occur to me. My husband only eats Mediterranean food so I am very familiar with cooking Mediterranean dishes. I've had meals with her in the past. It was always chicken, salad and rice.  She has also been very forwarded and actually told me she doesn't like the taste of the food I have cooked. It's very bizarre. I swear I am not a troll.

Possibly the guest has a personality disorder. What you describe isn’t normal in any culture.[/quote]

Has the guest been here for a few years OP? Sounds like she's treating you this way because she thinks it's ok in America.[/quote]

Egyptian pp again.  No one with common sense from any country would act this way.  Just because someone grew up in a foreign country they don’t suddenly come to America and become feral.[/quote]
