That explains a lot and this is why I asked you where you are from. Sorry to say but you probably will never meet his mother. You must know by now what his family would think of your marriage and about accepting it. You only know what HE tells you - honestly? How well do you speak arabic? Look at your facts and listen to people who have travelled the World and know a lot about different cultures and how they interact. Yes, there are exceptions. But he is making excuses and his family will win over you anytime, it is just a matter of time. Better confront him and MAKE him make a decision before you get even more hurt. I wish you peace of mind and be strong.
