You have this great idea of relocating to the UK, get a good job, get married and living that UK dream. So you got the visa and you relocated. Soon after you got here, you discover it's not all you had imagined. It can be frustrating really.
People come into this country from all over the world, to settle. For some, it's a happy song all the way, for some, it's total regret.

Some people get deceived by the conversion rate. Probably the currency in their home country is worthless. Please the bills you have to pay in the UK are enormous.
