    Wow so my friend I haven't talked to in a while texts me and is going on about her life right and then she's like ya my new boyfriends father is a millionaire in Dubai so we are moving there..... I'm like your kidding me right? She's like no it's a good match he has money I like money it's perfect. So she texted me to tell me she's leaving which made me sad but also angry that she stopped texting me because this guy was threatened by me and my family because my dad said something about his fathers businesses he felt I was trying to be better which isn't true. And now he's pretty much forcing her to leave. Wow

    No offense to you Alexander but I could imagine you talking a lot like Matt Lucas's character Vicky Pollard from "Little Britain". Which by the way I find that character hilarious! :lol:

    It's out of your control Alex, so there's really nothing you can do. However, you can easily stay in touch via the internet, telephone etc, if you want to.

    On a side note, All you need to do is add a few full stops, and then your posts would flow much easier on the eye. (*hug*)

    Just have to throw my two cents in about Little Britain. Love that show! In part because it's funny, and in part because it's British and I get little snippets of British life. I love that y'all referenced it here. :slight_smile:

    If I were a woman, there's no way I'd go to Dubai with some guy who wanted to marry me no matter what. Women are pretty much considered property there, and she will have almost no rights, and if things go wrong, she gets into an argument with her husband, etc, it will be nearly impossible for her to get out of the country.

    But... I seriously doubt that much of anything could change her mind at this point, so about all you can do is maybe warn her of this and then wish her the best.

    Yeah, I`d warn her, and tell her you`re just worried about her, but also wish her the best. If you get to adamant about it, she`ll probably just get defensive and tune you out. It`s a shame, but people have to make their own mistakes, and they will. We can warn them, but we can`t stop them.

    I'm not sure I fully understand all the variables in this scenario, but it seems like, from this and your other threads, that all the people around you in your life are consumed entirely by money and material greed.

    Does this girl really want to go to Dubai? You said she wanted to go, for the money, but then you said he is forcing her to go?

    It's obviously a bad idea, and you should try to talk her out of it, if you get a chance to talk to her again. But failing that, you're probably just going to have to move on.

    I would suggest maybe you should try to find friends who aren't so obsessed with money, and who wouldn't apparently throw you under the bus as a friend as soon as she saw the chance to get rich. People who put money before friendship are not going to make good friends to begin with.

    My family are millionaires too. That's why my dad was talking crap about his fathers business and he took it the wrong way because he's an idiot. Ad my friend she doesn't come from a really wealthy family but he life revolves around money which is why she tried to get woth me before. But obviously she's not my type :wink:

    You know, there is this terrible, horribly dirty second meaning (or third..) to the phrase "slap across the face."

    While I'm not a particularly dirty person, I must admit to having thought about it before clicking on this thread.....

    This has just made the posts even better. Thankyous.

    He didn't say the husband was Muslim; the vast majority of Dubai's population are immigrants, many of which aren't Muslim.
