I am not sure if it's related to Algeria. I hope you guys still can give your opinion.
so, I've been talking (or was talking) for almost 3 months to an Algerian rooted man living in France. he was born and raised in France. I like him because of his effort to be with me, he is not bad looking too. he wanted to get married soon but I am not ready, I want to get to know him first. he came from a broken family, was married religiously but not legally. I don't really think of his past. My concern is how he acted when he got mad. His words like a sword stabbing me. He would insult me saying words that hurt me, like i am pathetic, have no shame, manipulative. i can understand why he got mad because I could not assure him enough I want to be with him. I admit I responded half heartedly, he thought I would hurt him in the future like his 'ex wife'. He threatened me leaving me but eventually still came back.
now seems like we stopped talking completely. I knew he already start talking to other women because I 'rejected' him. I like him but I respect myself more. I can't imagine the marriage life with someone who can't control his anger.
sorry for long story guys. I just want to know if his behaviour is normal? given that I read everywhere that Algerian men are hot tempered (taghenant?)
