I’m 83 & I married a 37-year-old Egyptian toyboy… but I DUMPED him for being a ‘selfish money grabber’

A PENSIONER who married a man nearly 50 years her junior has sensationally dumped him for being a "selfish money grabber".

Iris Jones, 83, began dating Egyptian native Mohamed, 37, after the two started chatting on Facebook in 2019.

Iris and Mohamed decided to get married the following year.

However, their fairy tale union appears to have petered out after the octogenarian slammed her former lover in a lengthy tell-all Facebook post, .

"We tried to get married, but we didn’t have the correct documents," Iris began.

The pensioner described how an official at the British Embassy urged Iris "not to give him [Mohamed] any money", but Jones continued to hand her toyboy lover wads of cash - at one point flying to Egypt to give Mohamed £15,000 personally.

Iris continued: "I had £40,000 in my bank account and I handed over my bank card to Mohamed every day and we were drawing 1000 Egyptian pounds daily.

"This was to pay for living expenses, eating out, a honeymoon in Sharm el-Sheikh and generally enjoying the high life."

Upon returning to the UK, the pensioner discovered that her partner had fleeced her for over £20,000 after telling her she "should have about nine grand in there".

Iris fumed: "He was absolutely correct. £9,000 left of the £40,000.

"Mohamed has never had a job and has never had any money.

"I used to say to people that we shared expenses, but my money paid for everything".

In November 2021, Mohamed obtained a spousal visa and was able to travel to the UK where he was allowed to stay for two years, pending a review in two months' time.

Subsequent hefty hand-outs amounting to £40,000 followed, leaving Iris financially on her knees.

Iris said: "I told him: ‘no more money. If I dropped dead tomorrow, I wouldn’t have enough to bury me'".

She went on: "He did say at that stage that he needed another £40,000.

"Well, you will have to whistle for it because I haven’t got it".

After a tumultuous few years, Iris decided to call time on her relationship with Mohamed.

The pensioner ended her lengthy post by saying: "There is much more I can say at this juncture, but it could involve legal issues.

"From Mohamed’s behaviour, I learned that he was displaying many of the traits of narcissism.

"I researched the condition thoroughly, as I wanted to save my marriage, but Mohamed wouldn’t listen.

"He was always right, I was always wrong. On June 13 of this year, after another vitriolic row, I told him to go.

"It was one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make, as my love for Mohamed was genuine but it was no good pretending that things would improve.

"I let my head rule my heart. There is so much more I could say at this point but that will be for another post."
