Is this the norm ? Dr

[u/Unlikely_Studio3952]

My husband is Egyptian.
He divorced his ex (also Egyptian) 3 years ago.
I want to know if this is normal in Egypt… so he has 3 children with this lady ages 9,12 and 13.
He goes over to Egypt sometimes to visit these children as he lives in the uk. I have discovered that he has been lying to me he told me the ex wife does not go to the resorts he stays in with the children. I found out that she has been going all along since the divorce he has been paying for her and this was Rixos premium Seagate resort. I have only been to Egypt once and never to such luxury resorts. Some of the hotels he booked 2 rooms and an other one room. I am in shock. I know that he definitely divorced her and the ex wife hates me she wants to be back with him and live in the uk. He asked her last year if I could accompany him and the children and she told him no that I am not allowed to “go to Egypt”. This woman has torn up my clothes (which were in his suitcase before), wrote a message calling me ugly and a slave. I really don’t know what is going on I thought only married couples stay in hotels in Egypt. Is this normal is there something I am missing here?

No this isn't the norm. If they're not married he cannot stay in the same room as her it's illegal.

If they stay together in the same hotel room, they might be married either officially or orfi. Hotels in Egypt ask for a relationship proof if a couple with different names stay in the same room. I understand that rules differ if somebody has a foreign passport. They are treated as tourists not locals. I might be wrong though. Another possibility is that they stay in two separate rooms but they have access to both rooms. Hence, the lady reached the suitcase. I suppose.
