Yeah. I’m a Canadian married to an Emirati.

Good luck!

Fingers crossed for you! And from one woman to another, I completely understand and respect her request. An extra wife - sure, that doesn’t really change much in the grand scheme of family dynamics. But extra kids from that wife? That would definitely shift the long-established balance. She has her role as matriarch, the kids have their places - it’s all settled. It’s not my goal to disrupt that. She’s always shown me respect, and I do the same.
