what makes a man lie to his family, throw everything away for a russian bride? let alone the fact that he has lied to her aoubt everything as well, why does he want babies, a garden, someone for him when he couldnt take care or give to the family he has? any input would be helpful, because I am at such a loss, maybe this will help heal some very bad feelings.
You can't expect an appropriate answer when you provide so few details and this really isn't the place for a public dissection of your failed or failing marriage. Many men here are well-meaning but not really qualified to help you.
You probably already know the answers and are just hurting and a little lost. I'm sure your husband has his own side to the story. So any discussion is going to be slanted.
Don't throw your problems out into the public arena for the entertainment of a dishonourable few. Feel free to email me privately and I'll be happy to listen. QC
there are really no good answers. you know your husband best (or ex-husband)-is he a dreamer, has he been unfaithful in the past, does he live in his imagination and not in reality, is he seeking what he could never get in the past, is he in pain and wants something to take his mind off his pain or the pain he has caused, etc
there are just so many questions and little we can answer with knowing much more about you, him, your situation, etc.
Suz,
This forum is filled with posts and threads detailing the multitude of reasons why men from many western countries look to eastern europe, asia or latin america for a woman for marriage.
Much of it is written in jest and often in an absurdly cynical and humorous manner.
Don't get caught in it.
Only one person in the world can tell you why YOUR husband did or does what you accuse him of doing.
You need to talk to him about it, and hopefully together you will seek the professional and QUALIFIED help you need.
Do your best to keep your marital problems private if you hope to salvage it.
Venting your situation into this forum or the ears/eyes of the willing but just as unqualified stranger is the last thing in the world I'd recommend you to consider.
This is the last place in the world where you should come for explanations and even less, for solace.
Good luck to you.
BTW Suz,
Does your husband have a warm meal waiting for him after a hard day's work or does he have to heat up a tv meal in the microwave because you're out with the girls at your favorite saloon/spa/bar?
Is the house well managed while he's out there working to pay the family bills or is he always having to worry about your spending habits and having too much month at the end of the money?
Have you lost the baby fat after your 3rd/4th child?
Has your sex drives gone kaput since you gained a ton of weight for whatever reason?
Did you chop off your hair in the most UNfeminine possible way for whatever practical reason?
Can you define the line between nagging and constructive criticism?
Are you a Martha Burke or daytime TV fan?
These are a few of the questions or reasons you will find and have to answer on the other side of the story.
Like QC said, all can be as slanted as the way you present your case.
Hopefully none of them apply to your situation.
Keep your problems away from this forum, Suz...they do not belong here.
Whats that-"Desperate housewives"???
Why Suz problems dont belong here? After Marina and Lena affair everything is acceptable:):)
Suz, start to live own life,
lets your man live with that "russian bride", he will got hes lesson soon:):):).
Toad by the way, maybe you can give some recomendations how to stay slim after 3-4 kids? And after 3-4 kids, cooking meals and cleaning-do you know many women who have fantastic sex drive? And Im sure you know how womancan stay beautiful when she dont visite beauty salons? Suz will be thankful Im sure!
Yes, Annika...I do know several who do. Not many, though.
Unfortunatley for me they're all married to husbands who are are happy to come home to such beautiful and devoted wives.
Suz,
Don't let your marital problems become this forum source of entertainment.
Protect your family's privacy.
Specially from the likes of Annika who takes pleasure in other people's misfortunes.
Sounds like he doesn't know what he wants if he's chasing something he already has.....
or the Russian girl is just as good of an excuse as any...
If he's lying to her, it'll blow up in his face.
Reminds me of something I told my brother a few years back....
"It just may be, that the only common feature of all your failed relationships.... is you..."
God, this thread has the makings of "The Good Samaritan" meets "The Bride of Frankenstein". Or Maybe Jack Kerouac wearing a greenpeace t-shirt. And talk about middle aged inadequates!!
There is something very sinister about this thread. It has the smell of BS written all over it.
Suz please tell me how many other forums you have made this similar post in? If any at all.
Annika,
If I may say so, you are taking every word as it is written in the dictionary and not necessarily as it is intended.
A forum such as this may say things 'tongue in cheek', whilst remaining serious, but at no time is it being suggested that a man necessarily leaves his wife because she is, as an instance, overweight after 4 children.
really don't get these threads at all. Who in their right mind comes in and spews this crap about Russian women? OH my idiot husband has left me for a Russian woman, then our inhouse therapists try to come to the rescue of the forlorn dumped princess from where ever she is from.
People wonder why they get flamed here. Then they start whining to the moderator about post's that are bad and irrelevant. What the hell kind of thread is this? Where is the relevance?
Then Annika chimes in, how he's going to lose even if this whole thing is real and not a bunch of bullshit. I guess English guys don't leave their Estonian Princesses, what a crock of crap. Or Englishmen don't cheat on their girlfriends, and all Russian women are rogues and they will leave their men from the west. The only hope here is to be English and find someone from the Baltics, yeah right! All the Yanks here are fat and bald too, what a joke. Even worse we are uneducated and stupid for finding a woman from the FSU. Talk about not living in the real world.
I can't understand it/ please help, is why this thread is relevant. Oh, yeah I forgot, because of the Lena/Marina project. So this makes Suz's thread oh so important and really enlightens the many of us idiots that a search in the FSU is such a futile endeavor. Immediately Suz's guy is such a loser, without justification, it's just gospel since it's an anti male post. Things that make you go hmmmmmmmm? Another commercial brought to you buy our local Feminazi's. Suz if you can't figure it out, maybe you should look at this irrational and extremely onesided and negative post against the women from FSU, with the exception of the one's from Estonia, since they live in the real world and their men our so trust worthy and a bunch of boy scouts or maybe they are emasculated. God, what hypocrisy!
Yes, you are right Toad, after THAT passionate speach here he is defenetly winner for main role! And as I remember he dont need toupe or was it chest wig?
I think that possibility for American men to get a Russian bride relatively easily influence a lot on some men attitude to there family life.
It is easy to think that all problems you can decide in one click. The general attitude is: she mast
She must be beautiful
She mast have a warm meal waiting for him after a hard day's work
She must have house well managed while he's out there working
She must lost the baby fat after your 3rd/4th child
She must......
To discuss the problems for them means to put ultimatum of their rules.
The brightest example is Toad. That people should not marry. The ideal relationship for them is girl friend relationship. They even behave in family like they are absolutely independent people. " If you do not like - I will find someone else"
I cannot see the point of Suz, indeed anyone, coming here to ask a question and without returning to respond or even the common courtesy to acknowledge the responses, good or not so good.
