Brit guy feeling very lonely
Hi everybody,
I am sure that everybody goes through this, but I have arrived in Doha, and am working for Qatar Airways. I am on a temporary contract and have therefore had to leave my wife and 2 beautiful children behind. I try to Skype them every night, but seeing them upset is having a profound effect on me, so I am reaching out to the community for help and guidance, and ask do you think working away from home is worth the pain and anguish i am putting my family through? Are there any Groups that meet to go out and have fun? I am sorry for moaning, but i do feel very low at the moment.....
Apologies Dre....did'nt mean any offense.

where are you from in UK?
freakdipo, he aint being racist, hes just dumped by a filipina thats all...
peterluis What are you talking about filipinas??? are you racist or something???
Not all that glitters is gold.
Expat life can be a harsh one and needs mental strength. Some people adjust easily and others don't.
You obviously took stock of the situation before coming here. Perhaps you can adjust, but your family can't.
Can you bring them over ?
I don't know your personal circumstances, but having been an Expat for many many years, I would say that you need to sit down and see where your priorities lie. Money comes and money goes, but time spent with young children is never replaceable.
Good luck!

Nothing will make you happy other than bringing your family here. Do so, try.
Good luck...
what's with the filipinas?
LOL @ Imtiaz & Nadine
Sarnian - I can understand the feeling u r going thru ... i moved to Qatar abt a month ago and went thru similar emotions but soon made an effort to step out and meet with ppl ... i have made a few good friends and its all good bro. There r many things to do in Doha and sports facilities r in plenty. PM me and maybe u could join us when we go out to watch a movie or clubbing.
Cheers !!
