Hi everyone


I just wanted to say I have been well and truly scammed. 18 months of my life. Thinking I found the one, getting married, applying for a UK visa, successful.  He came over and it 4 weeks, it was all a lie.


Ladies be careful

@ancillamcpherson I am so sorry to hear this what an absolute nightmare. He barely let the ink dry. This truly messes with peoples lives.

Hi there, . I'm truly sorry to hear what you’ve gone through; it’s incredibly painful to invest so much of yourself into someone only to feel betrayed. Please know that not all Moroccan men are like this. Many of us hold marriage as a sacred bond, built on love, trust, and loyalty. We believe that commitment is one of the most important values in life, and it’s heartbreaking to hear of anyone being treated this way, especially by someone from my own culture.


Please don’t let this experience change your view of Moroccan people entirely. Many Moroccan men are deeply devoted to their families and work hard to build happy, stable homes. I know it’s tough right now, but there are people out there who genuinely value and respect marriage and would appreciate a partner as committed as you.


If you ever feel like talking more or just need someone to chat with, I’m here for you. Feel free to reach out – sometimes, it helps to speak with someone who understands both sides. Wishing you strength and peace as you move forward.


Take care of yourself.1f60a.svg1f44a.svg

Married for 6 months, been in the UK for 4 weeks, ran away supposedly to go and work offshore. He is a commercial diver. Now I discovered every lie from his half sister, it's my fault. He has been desperate to sign into his UK immigration account. I have notified the home office. So many genuine couples are struggling. Sad part is I really love him. I am looking for ways to move onn daily.

@kacmdima1947

Thank you. I feel really bad that 1 individual can tarnish a nation. I'm sure there are good men, who are good husbands. I just feel utterly broken

@ancillamcpherson Easy to blame yourself but this a betrayal that runs deeper than finances (although be sure to guard those!). Playing with peoples lives is cruel and please don’t think there was anything about you personally that could have been different - he clearly had a plan regardless.

Has the immigration office let you know if theres any recourse re: his visa etc..? Can you annul the marriage?

kacmdima1947

@ancillamcphersonI completely understand how you feel; it’s completely normal to feel heartbroken and disappointed after such an experience. One person’s actions should never define an entire nation or culture, but I can see how hard it is to separate that when you've been hurt so deeply.


There are good men out there who value and cherish their partners. Right now, focus on taking care of yourself and healing. You deserve happiness, respect, and genuine love – don’t let one person's actions make you lose faith in that. If you need  simply want a friend to listen, I’m here for you. Feel free to reach out whenever you like. You’re not alone in this.

Take things one day at a time, and remember there are people who genuinely care.263a.svg1f4aa.svg

@ancillamcpherson  You should do everything in your power to get him deported.

Are you able to stop his visa or immigration? I thought it takes longer than that to process so you should be early enough to end it. Sorry this happened to you. It’s going to hurt for a while but you are strong.

Andre Petion

@ancillamcpherson Hey, I understand exactly what you’re going through because I’m in a similar situation myself. I have a lawyer who’s been representing me during my divorce, and he’s been great—straightforward, reliable, and really knows his stuff. I highly recommend reaching out to him. He’ll be able to answer all your questions and guide you through the process. Here’s his contact information; I’m confident he can help you too.

@Andre Petion another one bites the dust. I am sorry to hear and I guess yours would be the same story as majority of us from abroad it’s either money or the visa! Hope you get sorted and haven’t lost a lot for whatever that maybe.

Andre Petion

@Muzzichuzzi My situation wasn’t terrible, but I ended up being more like a bank for that person—it was always "give me, give me" with no respect for me. I realize now that I blamed myself for it. I should have set boundaries from the start, but by the time I tried to establish rules, it was already too late.

@ancillamcpherson I'm so sorry to hear that happened to you. I wish I could say something to make it better, but all I can do is wish you the best on your healing journey.

@ancillamcpherson I'm so sorry that happened to you.

My experience has been much different. We have been married 11 years now. He has been in the US with me for 9 of those years. We have issues,  like anyone but, I never doubt there is love and commitment. I would love to hear more positive stories. I know I'm not the only one!

     It is understandable that people want to get out of a bad situation but, at the expense of some one else is so wrong. Be careful out there, look for any wierd signs and don't just jump in.

@kacmdima1947 well said!

@sgrab

Visa cancelled.  Good riddance

sarahkatelefeaux

I've been with my partner for 8 years but recently found some paperwork that says he has a spouse and the document was authorized in Tangier. How do I find out if he is already married and has been lying to me?

sgrab

@sarahkatelefeaux Take pics of the documents and show him to see his reaction. If he claims to be divorced ask for proof. It is not uncommon for both Moroccan men & women to have a spouse/bf/gf in Morocco while carrying on a full life elsewhere…and denying it.

Hoping it’s not that, but best to be sure!

Has this subject has never come up before?!

Bill Shepherd

@sarahkatelefeaux

Of course he is already married! Why wouldn't he be?

@Andre Petion

I know how you feel!

MrT786
