Economic and domestic situations motivate immigration. People primarily come to America because they've seen too many Hollywood movies, many of which start or end with Manhattan, Chicago or San Francisco skyscrapers, and portray a life of luxury.
Perhaps the most famous TV series ever viewed worldwide was "Dallas", which was about oil millionaries and gorgeous women. But all of the above is just 1% of America.
When the come to America, the guy picks them up in his car with trash on floor boards, and takes them to a wooden home with dogs, flees and more trash. Tornados wouldn't cause this much damage in most countries with brick homes (remember, the tale of 3 pigs and a wolf).
Those who find a better life stay, others leave and return to their better life. It's not always the man's fault.
Seems to me you have never been to Eastern Europe or the Phillipines. At least the American guy can throw trash on the floorboard of his car, and his dogs are not part of the menu, and horrid smell of cat urine that infiltrates many apartment buildings in Europe isn't at his house. LadyJane you are just a irritated American woman that is pissed that some man found the inherent characteristics of a woman from the FSU better than what you have to offer. You know what He was right.
I've seen enough examples of foreign brides staying with their husbands even with great age differences. All it requires is the same thing most marriages require, a willing partnership from both sides to keep the marriage together and a willingness to work towards that goal from both parties. I'm sorry you feel foreign women are so fickle LJ.
