Holiday Love Rats Forum- Love Stories or Red Flags? Latest Questions

Hi everyone 😊 I am new to this group and just wanted to introduce myself and give an honest balanced opinion. I worked a good few years in Tunisia before Covid times, and absolutely loved it. A lot of my colleagues had been married to their Spouses who are loving kind and honest gentlemen all / living in Tunisia for years, had children and are very happy. I also saw during my time there, another side, women working hard at home saving their salaries to pay for trips to Tunisia, hotel rooms, presents etc, as soon as they returned home, the next ladies already arriving by plane for these guys. It’s so easy to succumb to their charm and their never ending compliments. I was luckily due to only working there, able to step back from all this and just observe from the sidelines, even if you tried to warn some ...Read more

It’s so easy to succumb to their charm and their never ending compliments. I was luckily due to only working there, able to step back from all this and just observe from the sidelines, even if you tried to warn some of the ladies about the guys they would always get defensive and say their guy is different. I met the most incredible people there and the most devious.

Have a open heart and mind but always listen to your gut feeling. 😘

Thanks for the add. I’ve been member of the tunisianloverats page, for a long time, and now that it’s down for some reason, I’ve found your page. My sister-in-law is as we think the victim of a love rat. He chatted her up on a holiday in Hammamet, while she was there with her then boyfriend. He made friends with both of them, then snatched her. She is 16 years older than him. She married him in Tunisia after 2 years of distance relationship. Then she worked several jobs to get the money together to get him to the UK. She managed to get him here and now that he’s been here for five years, he just managed to get his ILR. She’s in a really bad place as she’s stressed and overworked, because she’s trying to get his paperwork sorted and basically runs their life on her own, especially ...Read more

She’s in a really bad place as she’s stressed and overworked, because she’s trying to get his paperwork sorted and basically runs their life on her own, especially financially. We are very worried that now that he managed to pass the tests etc. as soon as he’s got his paperwork, he might be gone. I don’t think she’ll be able to bear it. She’s so into him and thinks he’ll grow old with her, but over the years he’s done all kinds of strange things, that we’re doubting he means it.

I’ve had to crop the photos to remove images of my kids.. There’s no point my posting this anonymously, some of you will know me as soon as I post these pictures. I was the person who posted a while ago, I was repatriated back to the UK with my kids, due to a very violent husband. I wasn’t going to share photos and names, however, it’s come to my attention my husband (soon to be ex) is with a much older lady, of pensioner age. I am putting this, because I’m a big lady, I can fight back, he nearly killed me. I have complex PTSD from this man, and am being tested for brain damage. So here ladies, he pretends to be nice and woke. He’s not, he’s deceptive and a narcissist. I would never forgive myself if another woman suffered as I did, someone old would not survive ...Read more

So here ladies, he pretends to be nice and woke. He’s not, he’s deceptive and a narcissist. I would never forgive myself if another woman suffered as I did, someone old would not survive his cocaine rages. Here’s the proof some of you asked for a while ago. His name is Yassine Hanzouli, although from chott Meriem in Sousse, he can be working at any hotel along the zone touristique in Sousse. My injuries from 2020 – 2022, 2 X broken nose, fractured skull, 6 broken ribs, perforated ear drum, multiple concussions and the last attack being the most violent, he detached my retina, and suspected brain damage. Again I did leave, but the laws are different when you’re married and you live there. Please ladies be careful, he’s dangerous and family connections in the police.

Hi all. Although this isn’t a love rat exposed post I would love some advice. I will try to keep this as brief as possible… My sister recently finished with a man from Hammamet. She met him in Sept of last year, during a joint holiday with her friend (who was going out there to see her Tunisian boyfriend). Initially, my Sister was a bit reluctant as she wasn’t looking for anyone at the time etc but ended up falling for this man. He introduced her to his Mum & sisters, who he lives with, about 2 days after meeting. He was saying he wants to marry her very soon after meeting. She returned to the UK and were in touch constantly. She then flew back out on her own last Nov to see him. About a month ago, she told him she needed ...Read more

My sister recently finished with a man from Hammamet. She met him in Sept of last year, during a joint holiday with her friend (who was going out there to see her Tunisian boyfriend). Initially, my Sister was a bit reluctant as she wasn’t looking for anyone at the time etc but ended up falling for this man. He introduced her to his Mum & sisters, who he lives with, about 2 days after meeting. He was saying he wants to marry her very soon after meeting. She returned to the UK and were in touch constantly. She then flew back out on her own last Nov to see him. About a month ago, she told him she needed a break from him the constant video calls, messages, “love bombing”, was becoming too much. During this time he had threatened tl harm himself because of her threats to end things and he even ended up sending me photos on FB of him hooked up to a IV machine apparently in hospital from cutting his wrists. He also used to say how much his mum loves my sister like a daughter and she would message my sister to say how sad this man was etc. I don’t know if it was through guilt or genuine love, but my sister realised she still loved him and they resumed the (long distance) relationship.
Last week, she went out for drinks for a work friend’s leaving do and apparently he was bombarding her with calls and wasnt happy about it (apparently he has always been this way, very jealous about her having male work friends etc), and extremely possessive. She acknowledges that this is not the norm culturally in Tunisia to be going out as a woman drinking etc and also with him being Muslim, but she has realised that thinking into the future things will not work out and she is being pragmatic this time around rather than following her heart.
I guess what I am looking for is some advice on how to comfort her. This man does seem very lovely, and I do feel sad for my sister as she genuinely did care and love him. He has no kids nor does she and I think that was a nice thought for her too. Apparently he has never asked for any financial help either which normally sets off a dozen alarm bells. Does she really have a future with him or does she need to just cut things off for good?

Thanks for reading if you got this far! X

At first…i’m sorry for my ENGLISH . I decided to describe my story with Tunisian love as a warning… I would like to point out right away… not everyone has the same experience, because even if a guy is serious and thinks seriously, the story will end with a happy life until death  The second thing is how marriage is treated in Tunisia – a contract, a contract for living together, there is no question of love  But you can’t be sure what the Tunisian thinks in 10 years  Read more

At first…i’m sorry for my ENGLISH . I decided to describe my story with Tunisian love as a warning… I would like to point out right away… not everyone has the same experience, because even if a guy is serious and thinks seriously, the story will end with a happy life until death 😉 The second thing is how marriage is treated in Tunisia – a contract, a contract for living together, there is no question of love 😉
But you can’t be sure what the Tunisian thinks in 10 years 😉
As is often the case with a Tunisian’s great love for a Polish woman, he and his family were not bothered by the age difference – he was 13 years younger – I was enchanted by the family and his assurances that he loved me and would always be with me, so I agreed to get married after 3 years of relationship.
Then a lot of paperwork and visa arrangements. Surprisingly, I got the visa the first time. Tears of happiness for him and his family and his arrival to Poland. Super nice, obliging, helpful, cleans, cooks, waits for 1st residence card. I still take care of the house and pay the bills because I don’t work. Finally, the desired residence card, first job, first salary and what?… It turns out that he has no intention of contributing to the bills because I earn more and besides, other Tunisians live here and do not pay either because their wives support them. Additionally, my sister calls me with a complaint and says how can I ask him for money when he has less than me… He spent everything on himself, the car, clothes, shoes.
He was already working with a residence card, always tired, helping only occasionally, having sex less and less often and lying in bed with his phone in his hand all the time. Through my own means, I found out that he was involved in a Polish-Tunisian group and met a woman there. After an argument about him not helping me and just lying there with his phone, and that I had the right to be tired too, he packed his things and moved out. Contact with a woman from the group resulted in an overnight stay in a hotel in Warsaw. He wasn’t tired for that 😂
I forgave him… because the first residence card expired in a month, I felt sorry for him because he came for me and I would leave him without any papers. Another card and more lies… writing to women that he lives alone and works, asking for meetings. When I shouted it in his face that this is not the way to do it, this is not Tunisia, that wives have nothing to say when a man has mistresses, he said that I was limiting him, that I wanted to subordinate him, that he was younger and that’s not why he sacrificed himself youth for me to command him. He came here to work and live well. That the consul gave him the visa, not me 😂 That everyone knows what this marriage is for, no one in Tunisia takes an older wife, only a young one, and he sacrificed his youth so that he could live happily and do what he wants, and I have to agree to it because I have a young one husband . That if I loved him, I would support him and help him start a company because he doesn’t want to work for someone all his life. It’s a shame in Tunisia when you work for someone else and not on your own. And if I want to divorce him and block his next residence card, he will say that I married him only for sex.
That time has come… the application for a third residence card has been sent by him and the divorce is pending…
I don’t know what he’s thinking… he doesn’t live with me, but he counts on the card, he writes messages saying that he doesn’t love me, that he can have anyone because many women write to him. That he will find a woman who respects him and will be happy because with me there are only problems.
That’s all the Tunisian love 😂 and for a long time because he could have escaped after the first card 😂

Wheres the post about the wannabe Pablo Escobar and his mule gone? Its rather annoying when people post and then delete, especially when members have taken time out of their day to answer! Anonymous facebook group post https://www.facebook.com/groups/1477012806553891/permalink/1495748998013605/

Putting your whole heart into a relationship, your soul, every moment you have is something happens to most of us at least once in our lives. From that first look, to that first kiss, then the ups-and-downs that follow afterwards. And then, after years of respect and companionship, you are like one person. You fit each other like a glove. Until when you least expect it the ultimate betrayal, and the biggest shock of your life occurs. The person you loved more than anyone else in the world, maybe even the father of your children, is a love rat.

Good day, Ladies! Soon will be new season and rats will again approach their victims in hotels. Looking if someone has previously experience to alarm management of hotels to stop your rat working there. Or maybe better to write to Tunisia Tourism authorities? Any advice and thorough welcome.
