married men and women in qatar

By petitemae

can you tell me something about it, i'm aware there's lots of them there, and it really makes me sick to the bones. they are expats obvioulsy.

the father of my kids' is having countless affairs out there, he even gave me a bad picture (description) of Qatar, i guess that was his way of keeping me out of there.

i just really thought that it's really tight out there and that muslim people don't allow this things.

but still lot's of them get away with it, even when others get caught by the police and put into jail, they still do it.

i just can't get over the pain, insult and betryal.

help me, pls.

yah... Being a Muslim or christian or any religion should not be blamed if they are having an illicit affair.. coz all animals are created as polygamous by nature..but.. ALLAH created man to be highest creature... thats why we have brains to think what is right or wrong.. we have heart to feel what is acceptable or hurt!!!! and soul ..

Believe me is not being ISLAM or BEing a good Christian but how you judge things to be right...

to petitemae... come and see doha... be with your hubby.. even for visit only surely bring your kids, you will see the hidden treasures of the qatari cultures and dunes.

I am saddened that this happened to you. parents in many societies still regard seperation or divorce as a stigma.

They say that time heals all wounds and I hope that this will be the case for you. Your last comment to your husband was apt and I hope that he has learnt his lesson.

bent i dont think its the religion...

Its probably not getting married to the right person ...

or getting married at an early age....

Bent & All be reminded of one thing. Muslims are humans too it requires a devout Muslim with strong religious faith to avoid such acts. Therefore DO NOT BLAME one's religion.

Well Thexonic, I haven't heard about such a thing, I'll check it out >>> Looking to have a run way tunnel.

Though we were in court and the judge advice us to try the Family Consulting Center to try to work things out, the judge knew that I was for one year staying with my parents and he said nothing about it.

Another thing that I'd love to share with all of you, which is most judges support thier own gender no matter if they were Prosecutor or Defendant.

We had few cases back in court, some for custody, child support and lastly divorce.

No need to say no more END OF SUBJECT TO ME

Hate to say that I'm qatari living in Qatar and it happened to me.

Another fact most Qatari Females face the same old shit too.

Qatari men has no control; yes all of them are muslims, but they lack the true sense of islam.

bent Qatar, according to Islam if a woman doesnt have any contact with the husband for more than 6 months, any kind of contact, physical or verbal. The marriage is automatically canclled.

yes, that's true. it is really painful going thru this kind of experience.

By petitemae• 28 Sep 2008 04:06
petitemae

yes, this happens in any muslim country, for expats who works there but not generally, just some men in particular. you don't need to worry about your husband, i'm sure he loves you back more than anything in this world. if i'm not mistaken, i think you'll soon be joining him in Qatar, right?

By anonymous• 27 Sep 2008 21:23

This can't happen in Qatar, bent. Where do you live?

By bent_qatar79• 27 Sep 2008 21:17
bent_qatar79

Well well well, I've tasted the same thing too, my husband was cheating on me with a married lady. And I discovered this relationship while I was pregnant with my second boy, left him went back to my parents.

But what you all don't know about Qataries old people they don't accept divorce under any circumstances.

I'm back to him now after almost one year, with a broken hearted. As my parents say I am doing this for my children.

Sometimes I wonder till when we should forgive men mistakes, told my husband few weeks back you did cheat on me and I have already forgiven you, but what will you do if I was the one who cheated?

It's too painful for a woman to go through this experience. Prayers to all of us out there.

My husband's in Qatar,,,, But i love and trust my husband more than anything in this world... But reading this thread really makes me think,, can this really happen in a Muslim country?

By eu61• 25 Sep 2008 19:27
eu61

is this thread suggesting that Qatar is a good place for an affair? (not talking about female camels)

Petitemae if you have this doubts (or known facts) with your husband/partner in Qatar, can you imagine if he would be in any other more open-minded country?

It can happen everywhere, even at home when he goes shopping for the bread.

We have to trust our partner, and if we dont trust, then it is not the right partner...

War looking for peace,

is like fornication looking for virginity.

Why do we need a fight for custody or right of the ownership of children in this? Do you know the infliction or the consequences of their lives in this?

just leave him....i know we all deserve second chances or maybe third and fourth everytime we make mistakes..but you know, there are times when you just have to say enough is enough...

By petitemae• 25 Sep 2008 15:06
petitemae

he's done that so many times already, i've given him not just one chance but more than that. ýou're right, he's sick!

thanks for the advice.

...."Find a job, take care of your kids...it's not that easy to be a SINGLE parent but if your partner is away most of the times...it's not a very difficult adjustment, would it?".... agree wuth azi on this one...

By hjolie• 25 Sep 2008 02:58

if he asks for forgiveness, give him ONE chance. if he does it again, then he's a total m*ni*c! he's sick and y'know what a crooked road will always be a crooked road!

ditch him! you deserve to be happy!

there's no such thing as martyrs nowadays...there are millions of gold fish out there!

women of the new era only i observe, only needs a child, husband is a total pain in the ***!

if you let him continue doing this to you, you'll end up miserable and looking 50 years older than your age..c'mon 4get the sorrows and woes, be free and surround yourself with happy people who have positive outlook in life, you'll never regret leaving him, winks!

the B**tchy ladies of qatar airways are the number 1 in this!!! sorry CEO but this is the truth, your ladies do love clinging to married men! 5 star airline, 0 star crews...the ad at QR building should be reviewed, analyzed properly to have a proper and realistic point!

...in a different manner. There was a TheWife poster who said the somehow exact same situation you mentioned, petitemae.

Somehow I'm gettin' tired of this s***. I give them advices on how to keep the faith but people are just...too...stubborn...

Petitemae, I'd suggest that the two of you need more of a valuable time together. Go for a well-deserved long-term holiday (only the 2 of you), understand him well and remind him that your family is the greatest asset that God had given him. On your part you have to be forgiving and NEVER EVER raise this issue in future.

Excuse me ...are there no skirts back home?

If he is chasing one here then obviously he was chasing one back home too...!!!

And of course there are so many hot chicks in the middle of the desert doing the belly dance to seduce us guys!!!

when he asked you that, were you willing enough to give it up?

By petitemae• 24 Sep 2008 16:07

This is the reality of life. Maybe we should ask ourself where have we gone wrong? Surely we're no Saint but that does'nt mean that one can simply do as he/she wishes. it takes a morally educated person to have great control of oneself. Therefore my advise, don't ponder over what is happening look forward to your future and the future of your loved ones/family.

that sounds funny...yes of course, it is of real concern.

maybe give him a lesson, if beating him up would do. that would be great.

thanks anyway.

By qatarisun• 24 Sep 2008 15:04
qatarisun

it depends on many factors, brit.. ok, he admitted it.. but what are his further intensions..? does he admit it was a mistake? does he really regret about it? does he suffer from bringing this pain to his wife/partner? If yes, SURE I would forgiv .

now.. if he has just left me, and has no intension to make up whatsoever, it depends on the level of my feelings towards this man. If I am deeply in love with him, and all my life is connected to him, etc., don’t expect it to be over in 1 day or 1 week or even in 1 year!! You try your best, you follow every single advice about “how to forget”, but when you are alone, you let your feelings take over you again and again.. or rather feeling get over you, and you just helplessly crying and crying and crying…crying of the anger, of wallowing in self pity, of the inability to change anything..I think petitemae is in this stage right now..

..the only thing can heal this pain is a Mr. Time…

petitmae, if what you say is a real concern, send me the name of the "father of your kids". I will ask some of my friends from the Al Hadjri tribe to find him. And then you let me know if they should beat him up, hang him, submit him to the Sharia court, or pack him up and send him back to England via DHL.

..petitemae, dear, I know how do you feel.. but the truth is.. they consider Qatar is quite boring country, and as i understand they are looking for the 'friendship' out of the marriage pretty often...but what you can do? Your husband like thousands and thousands of other husbands all over the world, decided to go with someone else..And if he wants to stay with this 'someone else', there is nothing you can do about it. Just get the psychological help and try to get over this matter as soon as you can..
