We could start world war III with this post. Gladiator is hurting, that is a fact. And we want to support him. I do not think anybody on the post disagrees with that. His wifes intentions nobody knows or if they do they are not here. This information is behind a blind wall. And it is best left that way for us. I will not agree that it is a good thing in his life. I think it is a tragedy for all three of them. I do not believe that a woman can give 5 years to a man having a common son and walk away without scars and pain. The post is turning to an us against them. If we harbor that attitude then as Monada said we are not fit for either an eastern or a western woman.
The ladies bring out a good point. There are two sides and although we support Gladiator we should not crucify any women unless we know for a fact they are guilty and then only the guilty woman.
Please give this respect to Gladiator and the ladies.
Some parts of one of my wife’s love letters to one of the worlds top surgeons copied below. He operated on her at a cheap rate because he was my friend. His reward was to be targeted with love letters, love cards and also visited without appointments in his surgery. His secretaries have read all of the love letters and were much more alarmed than he was. The woman that did this has not been told to leave my western country. Maybe she will be after a couple more years. This is of course not the only such damaging behavior of hers as far as getting a permanent visa goes.
This doctor, also a top professor, is still married to his first and only wife of thirty years standing and they have children.
In my country if a doctor has sex with a patient he becomes a criminal. His career is destroyed. For this man, his marriage and much of his wealth would also be destroyed. The community would lose a top surgeon so perhaps thousands of people would lose his skilled services for years or maybe for ever. This wealthy man is a keynote speaker at many medical conferences. His being disbarred could be a loss for the worldwide community. My wife though would become suddenly quite wealthy. So why hesitate or have scruples?
I do not judge all Ukrainian women and I live in Ukraine. My wife has extremely poor ethics and morals and is utterly ruthless. Such women and men exist in all countries but in Ukraine for quite a few people it is get all you can by any means you can
“”””””I guess it’s just another stupid thing that I’ve done in my life. I don’t know what’s happening and why it’s still so important to me, but it is so and I can’t do much about it.
I was thinking about how and why it started, tried different things like I suddenly wanted the man because I was feeling weak and it felt very nice to be looked after; or I was missing my country and my doctor reminded me of someone I had known before or I was trapped by the circumstances and it was my way of rebellion, all kinds of things – but none of them didn’t seem like a perfect fit. The truth was that everything was more or less alright, and I had what I wanted and I didn’t feel weak and my self-esteem was on the usual level, somewhere up in the sky, and then I suddenly saw a person who badly reminded me of myself. Oh, no, it’s not enough, I saw as if myself but being a man and that was the thing that made me weak, somewhere in the legs. And considering the fact that people generally love only themselves, I understood that I fell in love with someone else…………………..
I don’t know how to handle rejections. They puzzle me; I don’t have much experience with them. I took it as something very personal, something that had everything to do with me and me only, and only half a year later I got around to looking what it actually meant, the doctor-patient relationship, and discovered how dangerously unpleasant it might be for the doctor. They say it might be dangerous for the patient as well, for it might be very destructive and the patient might even get suicidal because of having sex with his doctor. Well, I don’t know about that, I felt that way because of not having it.
I should’ve forgotten about you by now, but I didn’t. I’m still thinking about you, …..………………
They say all Russians are mad, and I’m mad for thinking about it and for writing it. I’m not a resident in this country and might never become one because of my behavior. I can be kicked out of the country for being an unfaithful wife, or for a mere attempt to be so. And I wouldn’t want it to happen. All the things I ever wanted, all the things that I had in mind will be shattered to pieces only because I wanted a man. And do I care? Instead, I’m searching the internet, trying to find out how much time has to pass for me to stop being your patient, and, at the same time, I’m full of fears - but not because of the silly risk I’m taking - but because of the fact that you might not want me anyway, even when the patient-doctor is over, because of some other reasons, and I would be too scared to ask. They are right, Russians are mad……..”””””””
Hello, Quasimodo. The character you nicknamed from was ugdy but by no means slow@easily-confused (to put it mildly). He could read at least. So you certainly can. Please open the 4th page of this topic, scroll carefuly up or down till you bump into my nickname (on the left) and read in a loud voice what's written under bold letters in small print - "Member". So yes, I AM a member.
FSU female
I realize our cultures are different, I am slowly learning your culture and its ways. In my culture when a friend has been met with troubles in his life, his friends are ones to help during those troubled times, also to share when there are happy times. True this is a public forum but within this forum there are private friendships that are made. These friendships are from people spread across many different countries. This forum provides a place to keep friendships up. Glads post was to let his 'friends' know of his predicament
as any friend would tell to his friends of matters in his life. It was not meant at speaking to the masses, for those that don't know Glad and feel for him great, for those that want to kick dirt at him I can only say, I pray for you. The easiest thing in life is to kick someone when they are down.
I hope you understand where I am coming from!!!
FSUfemale – I was just been sarcastic, obviously your are a member of the forum….:) I was referring to the virtual "I don't like Ukranian's women" private club that this forum host.
beemer18 – No reference is or was made to Glad, what I did say before about his troubles still apply..
If you give creedence to anything Monada or her alter Ego Quasimodo you just encourage more stupidity from them. She can't even conjugate a relevant thought let alone a sentence that makes any sense.
She or he trys to imply that she's some great philospher from the stratosphere and her intellect is way beyond anyone's comprehension here, when in reality it's nothing but inarticulate babble to insitigate problems on the site. It's intentionally done to provoke arguements and discourse. What ever motivates these idiots I can't understand. They come to a forum about guys looking for women in the FSU and bring nothing relevant about it.
If FSU female was smart, she would understand that this just gave some oppportunists a chance to slander women from the FSU. Like they are the most evil women ever, they just need to look at their own countrys. Though Gladiator didn't mean it to be that way, it will turn out that way in this thread in others. With see, see, see I told you so. When they have failed miserably with their own women.
Then you get the idiots to post that just like to turn the forum upside down. There are plenty of Loshdinya Chopa's in this forum.
Thank you nastan
There are some abusive remarks made in some of the posts but the points I sited I feel would have been ask by almost any FSU woman or any woman period. We do not need to know this kind of information to support Gladiator. But some of the posts in this thread have turned into an attack on Fsu women so it would be only natural they want to defend themselves and to discourage such an attack without even knowing the other side.
I have started a new topic called Respect for different cultures this will give more of my feelings on this.
Let me clarify a few things for those who are too narrow minded or stupid to understand the reason for my posting here.
First and foremost I DID NOT post here to bash the FSU or any of the ladies living there.Yes there are scams galore out there but if people are too stupid to see them then be it on their own head.There is plenty of advice about how to avoid losing a bundle,or being taken for a ride.
Secondly I did NOT post for sympathy either,although the support shown to me over the past few days by friends old and new is heartening in what is a difficult time for me. I thank you one and all you know who you are.
From the moment I learned of my wifes intentions I was unbeleiving that anything like this could have happened.You see it's very difficult to take avoiding action when you don't know what's coming,and why should I?
On the surface everything seemed rosy so it was a real body blow to be told it wasn't and that I was a part of a bigger picture.
It's never easy to share misfortune,especially when it's so devastating.I don't regret meeting my wife or the times we shared,my intention in posting was to attempt to show how cruel life can be,and I hope that I have done that.I still have great respect for the women of Ukraine,and still firmly beleive they are a class apart.Certainly not walkovers and very determined in their outlook on life.I was unlucky to meet the wrong sort,and after all my experience in the FSU that isn't easy to swallow.
I simply wished to share an unhappy experience with the forum,right or wrong,my motives are not for revenge or to put anyone off what can be a truly rewarding quest.I don't judge a country or region by the actions of one person and hope people here won't do that either.Of course the immature and bitter will seize on whatever they can to prove their point or just to spit venom...( take a bow Monada),to those people I smile at you and your complete lack of understanding.
Life goes on........things are clear for me and what I need.
Good luck and may you all find the happiness and success you seek.
Gladiator you have been stoic in your suffering and generous to all of us by sharing it. I feel ashamed we have to endure the immature babbling of Monada, although she is showing us something of the FSU culture we should be aware of, if you display your feelings you are bound to be hurt.
No Monada, we do need our mommas, Gladiator is a warrior telling his tale for all the other to be cautious, while you, are showing the trule spirit of maliciousness that underlies behind your words, that I do not doubt there is a genuine feeling of satisfaction in you by rubbing the salt in the wound.
Let us not fall prey to the generalizing principle, but the russians have not survived the bitter cold and all the hardships of their history by having an open, friendly and fair character.. hell no! If we are here in this forum, it is because the end of the cold war at least brought some opening, but look closely, they still have a tyrannical corrup system, they are prone to fascist nationalistic behaviour that would leave the skinheads of the west seem like a boys scouts club, look at Putin now, he plays his cards backing exteme 3rd world countries (Iran, venezuela, Syria) for he knows he can still be the pain the neck and grasp to his eteral shot at power... the signs are there fellows, again, I am not a generalist, but we can learn a lot of the general behaviour at least.
...referring to MONADA's and other peoples comments, I am wondering if getting married is a thing of the past or is it that the definition is changing? I know that to be a success, you have to work on a relation and maintain the flicker alive.
I believe that a relation isn't about individualism, it's about togetherness or don't even bother. I believe that gladiatorUK has a valid point when he explained that his ex did not gave any signal of unhappiness until she left, that to me means she was never interested in the relation from day one, it was a con job. Not even SuperMAN would have got that one right…….. gladiatorUK should walk with head high and proud….he done what is expected from a man and a proper husband.. His ex wife is a looser………no matter the nationality....
1. Gladiator is yeh, the worrior... a bit snotty, but still ok :)) )
2. Monada is profi in wound salting.
3. About russian carecter - true. All are cowards.
4. "hid wife" id looser - bravo. That's what I wanted to tell to this snooty Gladiator, but he has cork in his head to undestand what womans says... that's why he end up alone... sorry boys... another porion of salt.
It's like a habit - whenever I step to make a spit.
5. Zeeco, my dear banjo guy, are you ok with your comment? Do you understand yourself what that means?
NOW ATTANTION. MORTAL TRICK - A QUESTION FROM MONADA:
=>>> what these all has to do with Gladiator's problem?

The West is naive and trusting by comparison with Ukraine. In the West, win-win is a common outcome. In Ukraine, win-lose is the preferred outcome for many. I think any lady who is a true gold digger or visa hunter will unintentionally reveal her true character quite often, such as when angry or drunk. It is impossible to keep up a flawless act.
Monada does this almost every time she posts. Quasi must indeed be a fictional character as no FSU female going West would blow her cover so often and so obviously. Thus Monada and Quasi are not a couple. But I think Monada is a female, perhaps someone who still lives in the FSU. I can’t think of any man that would be capable of such venom.
The Internet is a strange place full of imaginary people with fake experience and qualifications who give advice to others. I fell for Internet baloney written by a former drug addict and Hepatitis C carrier - a Russian who had moved to the West years ago - all the marriage agency nonsense about true love, happiness and genuine, caring women. I met my wife through that lying crook.
Glad is hurting. He is one of the more than 50% of Western men who will be ripped apart as their reward for marrying an FSU woman and taking her West at huge expense. Maybe another 20 or 30% split up on an amicable basis - but I rarely hear those stories. Often the woman enacts a devastating secret plan for which the man is completely unprepared. Many men lose a lot of money, their reputation, even their house. This is gratitude, FSU style.
Many Ukrainian women are beautiful and it might be worth living with one. I advise doing so in the FSU, preferably remaining unmarried. I know more than one successful pairing here in Ukraine which has lasted for years. Although one Ukrainian woman shouts and screams at her de facto Western man and slaps him in the face in front of me. She even abused me once also - so I will never go back there. She behaves like a nut case, even with their child. Actually this seems to be not too rare I am afraid. I have another friend with a nutty young girl friend - big age gap - and she abuses him daily. Some guys have no pride it seems. Naturally the men in these relationships are affected by all the abuse - but put up with it because their female is hot.
Guys maybe being single or living with a plain but caring woman is not such a bad thing. Better than living with an abusive hottie. Arm candy? - you will be lucky if you are allowed to touch her in public unless you have mega bucks. But she will be watching every day for the trade up man or other opportunity for sudden wealth in your dumb and naieve country that lets such predators in.
Ah Monada is back. I do appreciate her honesty. Sure, she's got a dagger for a keyboard. I feel for GladUK, but it's not like I know him. In fact he was down right rude to a few of us in this forum.
As for his situation? It could have happened with any woman from any country. It's not an FSU related scam topic here. This girl obviously decided to look into taking advantage of her situation and decided to leave her relationship. Happens, yet I agree it was vicious - it was not illegal.
There are worse women out there, but of course everyone has their opinion as to what defines worse. It doesn't look as if she were the cruel and vindictive sort who wanted to intentionally inflict psychological harm - as to cheat and carry on with another man while all this was happening and through it back in GladUK's face. So he should be counting his blessings. I think she just wanted out of the relationship.
apal:
once again you choose to talk about something you know absolutely nothing about.Of course you have your opinion,and you state it was not illegal!
Are you sure?
Do you know the full facts?
There have been several iilegalities here,all of which are being dealt with,and which will not be discussed here.You also suggest things were not cruel and vindictive......hmmm,can't recall ever tripping over you.Better to refrain from comment for fear of looking stupid than to open your mouth and remove all doubt!
