britexpat: There is a major difference between the contracts offered to people from the West and that offered to people from the East. Westerners "dictate" their term of contract. Easterners "accept" the terms of contract. The easterners look forward to better days ahead in the hope that by suffering and sacrificing for just a few years, things would become better for the rest of their lives back home. Most father's from the East who are here in the ME, have a burning desire to see their children see a better life than what they have seen. Hence the silent sufferings. If any worker from the East is able to manage a comfortable accommodation within the salary he draws here, he will definitely not go for partitioned accommodation. The problem is: He has no choice! There are just no independent accommodation available that is affordable. He has to live here, send money home, and also make some savings -- all three combining together to force him to share an accommodation.
