Lets be honest sxb. You can't control a women who doesn't need to rely on you for financial support. Having kids in the west can even destroy you mentally and financially thanks to the gaal system. All my family support my decision of leaving the west for good but it wouldn't be possible without making smart investments with my savings alhamdulillah
Masha Allah regarding your investments!
Please excuse me brother, this will be a bit long.
I understand your sentiment about controlling the purse strings. However, you cannot blanket stereotype all Xalimos just like the way it is wrong to stereotype all Faraxs. I am aware that our diaspora society and people in general are less selfless, however, there are still a lot of good folk out there. Not every prospective Xalimo in the West is a Qumaayo looking to make your married life hell. There are a lot of married Faraxs and Xalimos that are contently married. It also boils down to luck to an extent.
Secondly, IMO, for the sake of your kids, nothing beats a Raaliyo moderately educated, respectful, religiously and culturally balanced, financially independent Western Xalimo in my opinion. They are not unicorns by the way, hard to find in the average Shukansi circle, but they exist. You do not have to worry too much about the future of your kids if something tragic were to happen to you. Such a Xalimo also knows about the pitfalls of living in the West in regard to raising children and can also adapt to living back home. Let us keep it real, unless they are a millionaire, most Somalis who move abroad return to the West at some point for education, health, work reasons etc.
Lastly, this is subjective, but isn't it better to opt for someone you can relate to on many levels, culturally; intellectually etc.? For instance get jokes which are rooted in a shared sociocultural upbringing.
However, you know what serves you best, if you are about having complete authority; a baby machine that also serves your sexual needs, then going for a FOB dime makes sense. You do not have to negotiate life with them, you lead, they strictly follow! Moreover, you are partly a FOB so I guess it is wrong to expect you to value things which a cultural mongrel like me does.
