Is it normal i think women like this are sick beyond belief?

I'm very sorry to hear that you've had to endure that. The pain of the heartbreak must have been insufferable. I'm female and think that what that woman has done to you is disgusting. You deserve a lot better, someone who actually appreciates you and loves you unconditionally, in sickness and in health.

To your own mother? Thats rude first off and if she did not want to spend her life with you why did she just not call off the wedding? What was so bad about your heart condition that she could not handle? She sounds like a jerk.

No its women who know exactly what they do and do not care. Since they are think they are so special they demand a man get cut for them. Women that are adults and say "If you did not get it done yet you have to just to be with me".

Like Shrunk mentions it is a cultural thing. Some people do it a few years after instead of during the newborn stage. When they do it on older children its less traumatic since they put them too sleep and they do not feel any pain. It also is done for medical reasons but that is very rare. Some people also believe its clean so get it done to babies for that reason. Some doctors actually recommend it to all parents having a baby boy.

Basically it's only the norm in the US (and some countries in Asia and Africa).

It is for the most part an entirely unnecessary procedure that has little medical benefit. Some people in America claim it is 'more hygienic' but that isn't true; if you have a basic level of hygiene and cleanliness then having a foreskin, a perfectly natural part of the body, is in no way a matter of concern. There is some evidence it reduces the risk of catching certain STDs, but frankly you're always at risk when having sex with somebody who has an STD anyway.

For most of us in most of Europe, the whole tradition of circumcision seems strange, especially amongst secular, well-educated people. Whilst children who have it done are typically too young to remember the 'event', it is still a form of mutilation.

It is often far less severe than FGM (female genital mutilation, an abhorrent tradition), but it is still genital mutilation, and this casual attitude towards it, especially in the US, is kind of disturbing to me. People don't even question it. Even more disturbing is the promotion of this attitude that 'uncut is gross'. To make people feel ashamed because they are anatomically complete is itself a reason to be ashamed.

It is a culture thing but some people think its clean.

Shaving your armpits is not removing a part of flesh. It is like cutting off a females earlobes. So simply shaving off some hair is not the same as removing flesh. You think chopping off a dogs tail is the same as shaving its fur? Flesh is not the same as hair!
