I wonder how ghiI mean some of the younger ones might marry out because of love. Overall though we have some chicks that can't find a financial stable Somali partner. Our dating market it's pretty messed up right now.
This is what I mean when I say UK and some Western Somali men have been influenced by Timo jelec Western men. The fact that historically we never looked down on Somali single mothers is source of embarrassment to them. Other forms of misogyny that Somali women face isn’t enough, they also want to add the stigma of looking down on women whose marriages didn’t work.
parents/grandparents managed to get married while they were financially poor and were living in harsher environments.

This is what I don’t understand,we bend backwards to them but they look down on us if only this self hating Somalis knew how our forefathers were proud Somalis and only cared about SomalinimoIt's never been part of our dhaqan to look down on divorced or widowed people whether male or female. I guess that was what she was alluding to. Shit happens. Our ancestors didn't care. I think this is part of the issue with living around certain muslim populations, you absorb their culture. Though it's weird how we absorb their culture but they never seem to absorb ours.
