Sorry to everyone because it might be a lengthy “Vent Out”. I moved to Dubai in August 2024 leaving my wife and a 3 year old daughter telling them that they can join me next year after i save some money for a comfortable living. On November 27th, I went back to India for a week. My return ticket was today(4th Dec 2024). And on 3rd morning, I found out that my wife is cheating on me. She was actually acting very conscious whenever her phone gave snapchat notifications from past 5 days. But i never reacted. But on 3rd morning, when she was sleeping, her phone was near her pillow. I took the worst decision of my life just to have a sneak peak. I was traumatised and still in a trauma. I am sitting here in the airport, crying in silent hiding myself from people. I did confront her. She was like i am really sorry, i was in a depression, i did not know what i was doing yada yada.! And i forgave her. But i am not able to accept it😭 I am completely broken.! COMPLETELY.!! 35 yr old loyal husband.! 😭

ESAW student accommodation

Hey guys! I’m a student at MDX moving into ESAW accommodation. I have opted for the Twin Studio option. I had a couple of questions regarding the place.

• What cleaning does the housekeeping include?
• How often is housekeeping actually done?
• I’ve read a couple of reviews regarding bugs and insects however, that was posted approximately 2 years ago. What’s the situation now? Has it been taken care of?
• Are there any curfews?
• Are there plug points by the study table and the bed?
• How is the gym there?
• Are there any meal plan options?
• How far is the metro station by walk actually?
• How is the accessibility to the cities (besides the shuttle service), is it a walkable distance or do you need a car to commute?
• How are guys and girls separated? Do they have separate blocks or just separate flats in the same building?
• Are the staff nice?
• What are the basic rules of the place? The big no no’s?
• Any weird rules?
• Any common issues that are reported that I should know about?
• Is the space as spacious as the pictures?
• Is the kitchen in a functional condition?
• Where do we refill water to drink?

I’d appreciate any and every bit of input from y’all. Please help!

Seems like the healthy, peer-to-peer used market is non-existent there. I'm in Abu Dhabi. I've been scrolling Dubizzle daily for the past week looking for a fridge, stove and whatnot. 9 out of 10 listings are from resellers under fake names. Same with Facebook Marketplace. Dozens of listings under fake names with fake prices. I don't want to feed those parasites. Neither when buying now, nor when selling later. Is it impossible? Or am I missing some other, better platform?

Thank you!

I feel like I am one of the only people in Dubai who listens to nettspend not “as a joke cuz he is a meme” or some shit like I genuinely enjoy his music. Let me know if anyone else listens to nettspend

Anyone know where I can buy Ari by Ariana Grande in Abu Dhabi? I usually buy my perfumes from my trusted shop in Madinat Zayed, but not one shop carries this perfume. I wanna buy it in-store rather than online. I'm not sure which department store has it, I usually see other celeb perfumes but not this one.

Hi everyone,

I’m planning a night out with friends on December 4th and was hoping for some recommendations for a nice ladies’ night in Dubai. We’re looking for a spot with a fun yet laid-back atmosphere—something classy and enjoyable, but nothing too over the top or crazy.

It would be great if the place has good music, maybe some light bites or dinner options, and decent deals for the ladies. Bonus points for somewhere with outdoor seating or a cool view to enjoy Dubai’s beautiful weather!

Would love to hear your tried-and-true suggestions. Thanks so much in advance!
