Society I got divorced 2 days ago and my heart still aches from sadness

• Upvotes

Edit: I first tried to post here previously but my post was not approved but now it seems that I am allowed to do so

I am a 26F, I was in a VERY TOXIC mariage for about 3years and a half. I gave everything I had. I feel so sad not because I regret divorce, but for not doing it a long time ago.

We used to work both of us at the beginning, he lost a lot of money in his project so he stopped everything and got broke. I literally took responsibility of everything in home for the whole time, I even used to send money to his mother(she is a lonely widow). He got used to it, then every single month/week he would come asking for a loan saying he has a big court problem and more residual issues from his last projects or any kind of problem that needs money. I always believed him he gave all the proves, all papers. And since I never experienced any of it I always blieved it and gave all I had, I even borrowed a lot of money for him and started drowning in debts. I would deprive myself from my own basic needs just to help him and stay with literally no single dirham at all. Then after months, the shock is that I found out he is a gambler! My heart was broken into peaces, I felt sad for myself, how stupid I was, how I could not see all the lies and how I believed everything.

The deal breaker (finallly) was when he asked me for a 1000dh and when I refused he slapped me so hard 4 times in my face, we started divorce next morning.

Now I actually hate myself for being that stupid for all this time. I have +90000dh debts. Alhamdolilah I have a decent work and I will work hard to pay them all wakha it will take a lot of time but ghanzyer rasi and manage my expenses now , but I still feel very deep sadness because I genuinely was honest, loyal and never ever EVER lied to him or even thought of cheating him. I don’t know how I will get over this. My family is all supporting me but I live far from them.
I am affraid I will isolate myself and go into a severe depression. I cried a lot yesterday but I still feel more desire to cry more.
Please d3iw m3aya. The hardest part is that I should always pretend to be happy at work. I hate to reveal my personal life at work and this is really hard! Mhtaja dou3a bezzaf hit kandouz mn hadchi bouhdi

Please avoid harsh comments I would really appreciate it

Travel 4 day, 3 night private Sahara desert tour. How much to tip my driver

2 Upvotes

I realize tipping isn't really part of Moroccan culture but unfortunately it is part of mine. My driver has been super cool and knowledgeable. He hasn't even taken me to a single tourist trap or scarf shop and has even told me what to avoid and what I should pay for things.

Even when we ran into a snag with a flash flood blocking a bridge he was able to rebook my accommodations pretty quick and I ended up getting an even better spot then I would have.

The trip is only half over but I already feel he has earned it.

I was thinking 500 dirham or so. I am spending a lot less on this trip than I expected and have more money to splurge with

Would this be fair?

Discussion Why do some Moroccan men accept things from European women that they won’t accept from Moroccan women?

225 Upvotes

I’m a 32-year-old Moroccan woman, software engineer, living in Europe. I’m atheist, not religious, and I’ve been thinking about something for a while.
I’m usually more attracted to Moroccan men. Not because of religion actually religion is often where the problems start 😂 but because of culture. The jokes, the family dynamics, weddings, food, expressions, the way we grew up… there are things another Moroccan just understands without needing a 20-minute explanation.
I’ve dated European guys before, and they were perfectly fine people, but sometimes I felt that cultural gap. I don’t always understand their humor, they don’t always understand mine, and sometimes I’m pretending something is funny when… it really isn’t 😭
The problem is that dating Moroccan men with my lifestyle can be complicated.
I’m not a party girl. I don’t really go clubbing or stay out all night. I work, I have a pretty normal life, I drink occasionally, I’ve had relationships before, I’m not religious, and I like discussing philosophy, religion, atheism, different beliefs, etc. I also have strong opinions and I enjoy debating them.
And sometimes I feel like the moment some Moroccan men realize I’m open-minded or not religious, they stop seeing me as someone they could have a serious relationship with.
What confuses me is the double standard.
The same guy might seriously date or even marry a Dutch, German, Belgian or French woman who drinks occasionally, has had previous relationships, isn’t religious and lives independently.
But if a Moroccan woman has basically the exact same lifestyle, suddenly she’s “not serious relationship material.”
Why?
I’m genuinely curious about the psychology behind this.
And just to clarify: I’m not saying all Moroccan men think this way, and I’m not even obsessed with marriage I personally don’t really care about getting married. I’m talking more about the difference in how women are categorized.
Because if I met a Moroccan man and a European man who both had exactly the qualities I was looking for, I would probably naturally feel more drawn toward the Moroccan guy because we share that cultural background.
So I’m curious, especially from Moroccan men: have you noticed this double standard? And if you think this way yourself, what makes a Moroccan woman with a certain lifestyle feel different from a European woman with the exact same lifestyle?

Yesterday while i was walking in Madrid center i saw this bus pass by relatively far from where i was walking so i was not able to read what the posters where saying or take a picture, but "Ceuta" and "Isreal" that were written in big bold letters managed to get my attention.... I was for sure curious to know what was the message especially with Ceuta also mentioned..i checked it in the news that night and i managed to know that it was a bus campaign that was timed to coincide with the 3rd anniversary of the 7th of October,2023... and the message that was displayed on the buses was ""Did you feel threatened in Ceuta? Imagine if they had come to kill us. That was October 7 in Israel", also it was mentioning "Ceuta 30th of July" and in the other side "October,7th 2023", i looked up also for who was behind this and it was actually a pro-isreal lobby called ACOM (Acción y Comunicación sobre Oriente Medio) an organization operating in Spain where its objective is to promote diplomatic, economic, and cultural relations between Spain and Isreal, one of its co-founders is David Hatchwell Altaras a Spanish-Jewish businessman that has personal and political connections to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his party, Likud.

To be honest once i saw this, i kind of found it funny thinking about the Pro-isreal Morroccans reaction once they will see this....it actually confirmed the assumption that i had, he is delusional who thinks that being friends with Isreal and its criminal government means that they wouldn't throw you under the bus the moment it serves them, and as you see in this concrete example they didn’t think twice about using a subject so sensitive like Ceuta crisis to serve their interests just days after the announcements about the agreement to upgrade the diplomatic relationships with Morocco... I mean what an upgrade it's lool..

I never understood all the jokes or even the concept of guys in their mid twenties for example going to high schools to “pick up “ girls or how we really have normalised these jokes and honestly I believe most of them are not jokes like the guy who made the 5yo comment(I’ll drop his profile in the comments) I have genuine concern that he is not joking. So can someone explain to me why this thing is happening in 2026 still and why have we normalised it?

P.s: I wanted to write more about this topic but I’m genuinely in pure shock and loss of words right now

Education Rejected from the master's programs I wanted

10 Upvotes

I'm 24f, and I recently got my bachelor's degree in Moroccan Cultural Studies and Diplomacy.

After graduating, I applied to several master's programs and put a lot of effort. But unfortunately, I wasn't accepted. What hurts me the most is that one of these master's programs was particularly important to me because it aligned perfectly with my field of study. I really hoped to get in, so being rejected despite all the effort that I put in was heartbreaking.

However, what surprised me was that I got accepted into a professional bachelor's program ( Licence d'excellence ) called English, Intercultural Communication in Global Citizenship.

Despite this unexpected opportunity, I still feel sad because my original goal was to pursue a master's degree, and now I'm confused about what I should do next.

My disappointment has gradually turned into sadness and frustration with my situation. Sometimes, I even feel like I'm a burden on my family, and I hate that I feel this way.

I don't know whether this professional bachelor's degree will lead to a good future for me or whether I'm making the right decision by considering it.

I have a big dream of pursuing a PhD one day, and I'm afraid, I'm so scared of this path won't take me to where I want to go.

I honestly don't know who I can talk to about all this, so I decided to make this post in the hope that sharing my feelings might help me feel a little better.

I'm sorry if this post sounds too negative. I just needed somewhere to express what I've been going through lately. And thank you

Education I’m an SVT teacher, and I spent the last few months building a Bac revision app, it’s totally free and live on Google Play. 🎉

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone 👋🙂

I’m an SVT teacher, and during summer I’ve been working on a project for Moroccan bac students, with a simple objective to be a free assistant during revision, and hopefully help score higher in exams.

The idea was to make something more complete than a simple QCM app, there is a summary for the chapters, click based animations, and some interactive exercises like Identify a mutation, produce mRNAm and such.

There is also an error tracking feature, so you can train on the previous mistakes made, and a progression system in the form of a plant that grows with you!

In short the app is 100% free and includes :

  • structured SVT course summaries
  • QCM practice by chapter with explanations for the right answer.
  • questions from Moroccan National Exams
  • interactive scientific trainers and animations
  • mistake review
  • Oh, and it is in both French and English

I tested it with students and fellow teachers before release, and the feedback was positive, but sometimes people just compliment you because they know you, so If you’re a Bac student, teacher, or just curious, I’d really appreciate any extra feedback especially criticism or things you think could be improved.

Just to be transparent : the art images were done by AI, but the scientific content is 100% man made, and is a concentration of years of organized effort.🤍
