Re: Dubai 'adultery' mum's agony
The prob is norm is that Arab guys in general are real charmers. He prob was not a practicing muslim when they met, and she was charmed and fell in love and he told her he wasn't into religion and that he would never take a 2nd wife, bla bla bla. The truth is that non practicing Muslims do tend to revert back to their religion when they have kids or when they get into their late 30's or 40's and thats when the problems start.....
It's easy to say "why marry a Muslim" but in reality a lot of western women are charmed by the attention they get from these guys who appear to be real gentlemen compared to their UK counterparts. And why shouldn't they believe these guys if they say they would never take a 2nd wife etc etc. Us married folk all believed our other halves when they say they will love us, honour us, whatever, til death do us part.....

I'll probably get flamed for this - but part of me thought - 'why would you want your last memory of your kids of you to be that...why would you want to make it even harder for them, put them through the trauma'
I know it would be very difficult to be dignified in such a situation, but filming it all and releasing it to a tabloid! was in pretty bad taste.

It is a sad video, and was tough to watch.

Re: Dubai 'adultery' mum's agony
Without starting some mass debate i would like to know what Beard Man's view is ???? I sincerly would like to know a local's point of view BUT without the whole ' you live in sin etc etc.... ' do you feel for her or does she deserve it ?
Dubai treads a fine line everyday between East / western culture, it must be very hard but storys like this damage Dubai's image & lets be honest, globally Dubai's image is not great at the momment & Dubai needs us expats to survive, this wouldnt make me go home but it may make others think twice about moving here.

well...maybe more...and in all cases there was 'another woman' involved at some point...so it's not something exclusively to do with Muslim/Arab men it seems...
