42F (South East Asian) in Dubai, previously married to a Muslim man — seeking serious long-term / open to second wife
Assalamu alaikum. I’m a 42-year-old Asian woman living in Dubai and I’ll share my story honestly.
I was previously married to a Muslim man — five years that were, truly, the best of my life. We divorced when I was 32, and in the years since I’ve come to feel more and more that a Muslim man, and that way of life, is what’s good for me. I moved to Europe for work after my marriage ended, partly to find my feet again and heal from the heartbreak. I built a life there, but the taxes were brutal, and eventually I came back to Dubai, where I’m based for work.
I’m a professional — currently a product manager at a software company — and I intend to keep working; I’m not looking to be a burden. But I’m tired of the harshness of the world and of modern dating, and I have no interest in dating apps. What I want is something real: a good man to build a long-term life with, or a marriage for life. I’m open to being a second wife.
After years of standing on my own, what my heart longs for is to be cared for and cherished — a generous, loving man who likes to look after his woman and spoil her a little, and who I can adore, respect, and make a soft place for in return.
I take good care of myself and I’m told I look good for my age. I’m looking for a mature man, roughly 50–60, who is established, kind, and serious. Someone who will respect me, and whom I can respect and care for too.
I’d appreciate serious, respectful responses only. Please respect my post.
Postscript: To be upfront: I’m Christian, not Muslim. But my years married to a Muslim man were the happiest of my life, and I have deep love and respect for the faith and that way of living. I’m open, warm, and comfortable in it- I just want to be honest about where I stand.
