This is my love eat. Imed Ben Hassine front Sousse. Drives taxi no1703 between port El kantaoui and Monastir. Collects many women fro Enfidha airport. We had a connection straight away. He’s charming, great sense of humour. Said he didn’t speak much English but seemed to learn really quickly,then spoke in French! I hated the fact that he spoke to many men in Arabic but he told me they couldn’t speak French or English. He told me he was a single father with 3 daughters and that was why he could never spend the night. But he could get drunk every night during his work hours and would drive home like that.He once let slip that he’d spent a night fishing off the beach at sousse with his brother. I paid for absolutely everything as he hardly earned enough money for his beer and cigarettes every night,let alone spend 70dt ...Read more

But he could get drunk every night during his work hours and would drive home like that.He once let slip that he’d spent a night fishing off the beach at sousse with his brother. I paid for absolutely everything as he hardly earned enough money for his beer and cigarettes every night,let alone spend 70dt at the supermarket!! I used to wonder at the designer jeans and t-shirts he wore. And the 200dt trainers. He was extremely clean and well turned out. Very handsome. Wanted to hold my hand along the beach. Never said thankyou when I gave him money. Love bombed ne when I went back to UK but didn’t spend much time with me when I went for 2 weeks holiday. Boasted that he was known by several different names,but I was totally naieve. Made up excuses for him as it was different culture. I was only 8 years older than him but we looked same age. He had grey in his hair! Took me out early one morning with his parents. We drove up to a farm and the shepherd was pointing out all these scrawny male lambs and he and Imed were talking a lot in Arabic. No one talked to me . Then Imed tells me that the lamb will cost 1300dt. I told him it was rubbish and our sheep at home were twice as big. Then I realised the awful situation. Without any previous discussion I was expected to buy this lamb for Eid!!! I felt sick,mortified. I’d only just given him 1600dt and he expected me to shell out 1300 on this poxy lamb.I made up a few excuses and said we’d get it tomorrow then i had take us all out for coffee. All I wanted to do was get away. He dropped me at the apartment while he went to take his parents home and I laid into him straight away. Why had t he spoken to me about this. He said he had and when I said “no you haven’t ” he blamed his poor english!! I told him I was very angry and he just said he was sorry and we would not mention it again. When I returned to UK he didn’t call as much. He would dissappear for days,then when I asked him what had happened he would gamble out crazy stories about his daughter needing the hospital because her back result hadn’t arrived and getting in trouble with police etc. I realised everything he was telling me was lies. From his I love you gifs in the mornings to his late night calls,always from his taxi before going home. It’s been exhausting living with it all and knowing how it would neverwork long term. It’s been heartbreaking too because I would tell myself how lucky I was because he was gorgeous. A major alarm for me had always been that he never once said anything lover would say, like…’I love the smell of you’, I think you’re beautiful, you’ve got amazing eyes,your skin is so soft. All those sorts of things that have been aid to me not so long ago. He never made any personal comments about me at all. And love making never lasted more than 10 mins,nearer 5. No foreplay, just several drinks,then bed and no post coital cuddles. Heavens no!! Straight to douce. I thought we were happy. What an idiot I was but not any more. I blocked him from WhatsApp and feel better every day. Thanks to this marvellous website I’ve learnt so much and don’t feel a failure. I feel empowered and I hope all the women who might read this will begin to feel the same. We are not to blame. We are humans with a heart and a capacity for love. These disgusting men exploited our vulnerabilities and our financial viability. They are evil and hopefully will end their days with vd and anal warts!! Love ❤️ to you all. Be proud you have come through this

This is my story. Mohamed Chaabane alias Picasso. I met him a year ago on a vacation with my parents. He got us tattoos. Later we exchanged Facebook and he invited me out. We drank and we had sex. He was a little surprised that I was on birth control. I flew back to see him a few more times. Mostly as a European, I paid everything. I was head-over-heels in love. He wrote to me every day, called often, and I know some of his family. Since I was desperate for love, I was an easy victim. I left him a few of my things, including my phone. I recently found out I’m not his only love. I was so hurt because I stupidly believed he was different. He’s got it played out on several sides, I’ve contacted a few of his female friends and they were as shocked ...Read more

He’s got it played out on several sides, I’ve contacted a few of his female friends and they were as shocked as I was. He doesn’t know that I know yet, but he will soon. Anyway, if you are planning a holiday in Tunisia, enjoy it to the fullest. Just don’t fall in love and believe their sweet talk. I believed them too, and all I had left were eyes to cry on.

Now Picasso is at the Royal Karthago Resort & Thalasso in Djerba, working as a henna tattoo artist.

Be careful of yourself and don’t trust them to be the only one.

Does anyone know this rat fe? I have been in a relationship with him for over a year and I have not been a victim to theft of money or even abuse of any sort. But a few days ago, he decided to show me a video he took of us having sex. I was completely disgusted because I wasn’t aware of him filming us. but he told me it was a keepsake of me I just want to make other people aware of this. If it happened in the uk then there is laws against this. But there are no laws on this in Tunisia

I spent 2 y in Paris with this Tunisian man and I always thought I was lucky because he is an hard worker with a good heart that payed all the rent bills, providing dinner for us, I just shared some bills…… Till the day He asked me to become the legal responsible of the company in Paris of his Tunisian friend. It seemed a strange request because I grow up in Rome and I know what means this illegal thing. He tried to put me in a dangerous situation just to earn money on me

Would it be acceptable to ask about a person and provide their name and a social media photo on here without sharing the story of our involvement? I’ve not long met this man on holiday. And we have been continuing to talk. I am also planning a return visit to Tunisia. I realise feeling the need to ask is concerning and not a great way to start a potentially healthy relationship if it turns out to be that, but given everything I have been reading, I feel overly cautious and the need to protect myself. I wish to remain anonymous at this point through fear of upsetting anyone. Probably because I have not experienced the “love rat” point yet so wondering if it is acceptable to check before I get to that point as it might save me a lot of heart ache and worry. Thoughts welcome and thanks for ...Read more

Welcome. I have a lot of ask. I met a boy one year ago on holiday (he is older than me). He never asked me about money, he many times said he want be sure with me because he don’t want waste his time (because I said I’m not sure that I come). He want married but not now. He want this because he doesn’t want to live on distance. He said he help his family (giving them some money but he said – children can help parents on this way). And many times we wanted to over everything because of distance, not sure future. And one time he said to me – later if I will find a man of my nationality because this everything is hard. And soon I want to visit him, but my friends and family are scared. I don’t see red flags, but I’m scared ...Read more

I don’t see red flags, but I’m scared because I read a lot about this and I’m afraid of this. This relationship is ok for us? Should I worried?

I’m wonder if anyone experience this before or is it just me.. I’ve noticed if I am approached by a Tunisian man online.. and they start asking you what is your job… or where you live.. they seem to cut you off or block you when they find out you either don’t have a job because you depend on illness benefit or you choose to live with your parents as you can’t afford to get your own place.. . does this mean they are seeking for someone who has their own place..
