QC I've always thought for myself. But if you are going to defend Annika's actions on this board then you are pretty much a fool yourself. I don't care how much you talk off the board. I don't defend Toads actions and have disagreed with him on many things, but the constant input of failure by someone here is ridiculous. No one, not you or Annika or any other person in this forum has control over anything, especially my relationship with my lady. I will tell you this, this forum can only give you an idea, not the actual reality of going, finding and continuing a relationship with someone from abroad. So if I fail, which I doubt we will, and the key word was we. I will be the first to let you nay sayers know about it.
I wasn't coming back but this is way too juicy to pass. Nasfan you're a jack ass, the kind of jack ass who believes he's smart and says so about himself--;;)) You're so sure of your success that is imminent, I'm so sure about the opposite because I know big words lead to big failures.
Annika, I totally misunderstood you and flamed on you once. You being there have a better perspective on FSU than anyone else sitting in the other side of the fence and doing bla-bla-bla.
OKM, stop being a donkey's tail, it's not exciting. I haven't heard one unique thing coming out of you.
Toad, king of BS of the BS!!! taking advantage of poor Russian girl, big mouth, what is that you're doing in real life writing comics??
Lena, not everyone's a jack ass. From what he wrote you must be a wonderful girl. It is more obvious than the obvious that he does not deserve you. Look for a better man, perhaps younger man. A 49-year old looking for a 27-year old is looking for a trophy. This way he described you all the time. You deserve much better than that. Go on with your life and if youd decide to look again do so in Europe. Americans who turn to FSU for a woman are a high risk (especially those who are not even real Americans).
What a farewell party, anxious to see the end of it.
I really wasn't going to say anything. But just a very quick word.
I am the only one here who has met Lena personally. She is very sweet and I wish I hadn't ended up with stitches so I could have got to know her better.
I for one am going to mind my own business. Their problems are nothing to do with me. I wish them both well no matter what they both do. They are both good people and I am not going to either endorse or criticize the actions or attitude of either of them.
Lena,
I know you are reading this. Thank you for greeting me at the airport that late Saturday night in the ice and snow. Even though I was nott he one you were there to see. Thank you for running and getting Marina for me. I will never forget the way you hugged and greeted Toad. I wish I had received the same welcome. I wish you well in your life.
Steve
QC I am so happy you have had great conversations with Annika
that is your opinion of her and great.
Also my opinion comes from her own Negatives not from any other opinion
and like I state you might not agree with what I wrote, but my Opinion
came straight from me.
She can trash toad with out really knowing him or ever walked in his shoes
and Judge other people, sorry my friend she put the target on her own back
I just shot the first arrow.
This wasent even A defend Toad Move QC Because he needs to be A man and talk to Lena.
oh and wtrav02, just like you have an opinion
so do I........
A donkeys tail and havent herd one thing come out of my mouth
unique, and I suppose your writings in this forum are more unigue
than others. thats A joke.
I suppose defending Lena was wrong on my part also
if you learn how to read wtrav you might find one thing interesting
I did not jump on any side and I Prase Lena, then your Friend Annika
had to go one sided and trash toad just like you my friend.
Wake up trav and get out of your time warp
your writings are like a man with paper ass.
He publicized his soap opera with all the trumpeting of his "colourful" writing personality, and now he can't take criticism?? I wouldn't worry, he sounds pretty thick skinned, arrogant and senseless. What a nerve to come out and say that he dumped her. The girl doesn't sound like a liar.
And how about the pathetic creatures who came out to take the part of great toad the entertainer. Do you know him personally? he was accusing all those pervetic foreigners who take advantage of FSU women while he was doing the exact same. What a hypocritic pig? He even wanted the woman to sign him a prenup. What a pig and what a nerve of a pathetic little man.
These last two pages of this thread remind me of the movie "Face off" during the pre-shootout church scene when everyone is pointing guns at someone else's heads.
Wwweeeeeee....what a predicament!!!
The gossip sharks are circling and they smell blood in the water.
If it is my turn to be roasted for the decisions I've made and the pain I caused. So be it.
Making these type of decison always carries the stigma of being the 'bad one' for hurting someone's feelings. Lena's in this case.
If there was some way to avoid it, I'd bottle it and make millions selling it to everyone filing papers in divorce courts across the world.
I have always been a happy man and still am today despite the failures, dissapointmens or frustations.
Lena,
Since you chose to vent your feelings in here, I will respond to you here as well.
Not getting who or what we want, how we want it and when we want it is enough reason to send anyone back to the drawing board to find him/her/it elsewhere.
When your pain subdues you will do the same, if you haven't already.
We did not get what we wanted from each other after I came back from Siberia, no matter how hard we tried.
You know the reasons.
There was never overlapping or double or mulitple dating.
I have done many crazy things in my crazy life, but going through the time, energy, financial and emotional expense to find a good woman like you half way across the planet only to treat you like a 'reserve woman' is not one of them.
I will never say a negative word about you no matter how deep my dissapointment and frustration at some of your decisions and choices.
Time will heal your pain...and mine.
You will love again...and so will I.
FACE OFF---))) presenting GL Toad Fraud in the role of a pathetic, insecure, pussy cat seeking to reassure his suttered, self flattering ego through dominating a foreign woman the age of his teenage daughter. Based on true events the story begins in the lands of windy Patagonia where a chased ---))) latino escapes the web of a corrupt regime in order to spread his own home made corruption around the world. The main character, GL Toad Fraud, switches faces as the movies goes on, lives double lives, and spreads his bullshit as if it was butter on the bread of unsuspected forum members who by the way turn to be his fans. Filled with the joy of the shit that hit the fan, the fans are screaming ooorayyy each time the main character appears on the scene to throw more of his crap bang philosophies and well thought bullshit. In fact, even his disappearance for a few days due to some prostate function problem causes the fans to launch protests demanding the return of the bullshit king (do not forget the character is already 50 and has endured a tough although very hedonistic life). At the end, and while GL has carefully planned a dramatic exit covered by fireworks and with champaign flowing on the red carpet, especially should be noted at the top of his game, an unexpected event occurs to increase the suspense and provide an end like no other in his performance. Please remember GL as a great entertainer because that is all he is. THE END.
Wtrav02. Good posts! Im happy you chare my opinion about Lena looking in Europe. Men are more stable. What about nasfan6...I talk only to intelligent men :)
When I (just now) saw the post from a member 'Lena_from_Siberia' I thought someone was playing a hoax.
When I read it it proved it hardly is.
Lena, Toad has made you famous here, he has painted a rather enviable picture of you on this forum, and all know who Lena from Siberia is. That is why I think it is really weird why, to my utter surprise, nobody has responded to you directly other than OKM and Annika.
Sure, Wtrav is jumping the oh-so-tempting bandwagon, and in doing so also the gun. He points out to you that he's no jackass by gently directing you to younger, and closer, shores. Lena, did you know that he himself is married to a girl whilst being her senior by roughly the same years as is between you and Toad? But he's younger than Toad.
I'm sure this puts his advice a bit in a different light, but let me tell you that I suspect his marriage is either having problems or has ended already, for he has turned against friend & foe alike here. He swipes a blunt axe around in here lately, without discrimination, but undoubtedly his next comment will refer.
Before this thread started I told somebody here, off-forum, what I suspected had happened between you & Toad, and I wish I had been wrong. Some writing had been missing on the wall for some time already, and it was ominous writing.
I'm damn sorry to hear that, for whatever reasons, U2 will not find the happiness you both were expecting to find. Purely by judging Toad's (and also Izi's) posts from a distance both you and Toad must be rather special persons, and only for this reason you both had my blessings. The world is grey enough as it is, some colour would not go amiss.
That also is the reason that no single soul here may assume a position as judge, for the best captains always shout from a safe distance from the shore.
Every coin has two sides, but any coin is the beginning of riches.
May both of you get loaded, you've got my blessings in the hope it will soothe and help.
Worldtrav02 as for the jackass that's pretty lame on your part.I thought you could do better than that? As for being confident, you're damn straight I am confident. You're the kind of man that runs his mouth kind of reckless behind a key board. See you don't know squat about my relationship with my lady. Just as you don't know for sure if that was really Toads Lena, or some idiot in this forum playing childish games as is often done here. If this girl is as sweet and classy as the people who have met her said she is I highly doubt it was her, I could be wrong but I still have my doubts. Hell I can get a mail.ru email address.
How's that for intelligence? Well I got to go study for my urine test, I want to score higher than Annika
LOL Annika, This is one womens opinion about more stable men in Europe
but this is where the very heart of Abuse started in many Russian Womens opinions.
I know Russian Ladies that would blow you out of the water with Smarts......
One in Moscow that I speak to by phone and By emails, And get this guys
Monday through friday we email each other like, heres an example yesterday
8 emails A piece. Some days even more, She has way more smarts and her opinion of American men being more unstable then men in europe, doent even exist.
Annika you only speak to Intelligent men Now we all know this to be A lie:)
Lets get real here, Men are Men and women are women. it doesnt matter
where you live the word Unstable is in every country.....
Go ahead and label us Americans Annika it just go to show your
so closed minded also.
I think it was the man of great intellect that labeled Americans as the ones of great risk. Failure is imminent, well I will say this much, I say what I mean and I do what I say. I don't make promises to people and I don't blow smoke up their ass. So WorldTrav02 when I fail you will be the first one to know, but then again why should I, you know it all anyway. Lot of smack talked by an Expat, even if you really are one. I think Thunder has hit it on the head.
I AM SORRY BUT I WAS SO UPSET WHEN I REGISTERED AND WROTE TO THE FOUM THAT I FORGOT MY PASS AND HAD TO REGISTER AGAIN.
I feel everybody knows more about me than I personally do. I think that I was described here so many times and in so many details that I have the right to speak here as well. I wrote here because of 2 things: I couldn't let Toad leave beautifully as he intended to and I badly needed support. I got such a nice personal letter from one of you, you cannot even imagine how grateful I am. It's difficult to me to read when people argue, I am a bit old-fashioned lady, I love peace and tenderness. I got a you-will-have-a-long-and-happy-life letter from Toad, he thought it was final but after he read my post, he wrote back. You will read it soon.
We didn't have any problems till July, and I admitted that I was wrong once in July and appologized. It's a again a lie, that everything was bad. When I found this forum and told him about my finding, he accused me in entering his privacy and I even didn't say anything that my privacy was already badly damaged by him. We never argued. And wrath is his element not mine, and I am scared when he was in wrath, and I doubted to go already to States. So partying itself, that's not the biggest problem. But he admits that he is dating another woman and writes that he loves me. Isn't it a lie? If he wrote an honest letter and said that we would stay friends and I can rely on him it would be fair. Now goes his letter.
Lena,
As I said in that forum, I will never say anything negative about you to anyone.
You can continue calling me a liar for things I have not done to you, if you want. But you're wrong.
I did not lie to you.
There was no reserve woman for me here, in FSU or anywhere else in the planet while I was trying to resolve our differences or even while I was realizing there was no solution.
And the last thing in my mind was to treat you as a reserve woman.
You know perfectly well that I tried to teach and explain everything I believe regarding marriage.
Most men my age and with similar past marital experience will never again marry only to satisfy their emotional needs.
If they do, they're fools who put themselves and others at risk of a miserable life when things gets tough and emotions change.
You believe differently.
I respect that, but I am not willing to follow your inexperienced dreams.
I cannot control how you think or feel about anything that I tried to teach you.
But I know what I want in my life. You simply were not willing to provide it.
Even your claim that you work 14 hours a day to help provide for your family in preparation for when you finally came to be with me was used to accuse me of something I do not understand....
How many times did I try to explain that providing for both our immediate families in Russia and Argentina would be part of our immediate family plan?
Is it that hard for you to accept that Nadya, Yenia, my mother and brother could have been provided much better and without much sacrifice from California where we'd be earning over 100,000 every year instead of working like a mule to earn a few hundred dollars every month in Tyumen or Buenos Aires?
You may not like the idea that an older more experienced man like me will lead your life in marriage or leave you to lead his own life alone and eventually with someone else.
But that is exactly how it is.
You were never used and mistreated by me.
I was the happiest man alive for having you in my life.
And I was the most disappointed man alive when I realized our relationship problems had no solutions.
It is equally unfair to blame me for the timing of my decision.
I did not cause the family problems you must endure right now, and I assume you were referring to your dear aunt's cancer coming back.
Would you had preferred that I wait to tell you? why? how long?
I will not let anyone see the pain that making this decision caused me.
Specially in that forum, where people like Annika and now Wtrav take special pleasure in trashing those who fail in our attempts to build a relationship with ONE woman.
IF I DIDN'T WRITE TO THIS FORUM, I WILL NEVER GET THIS SORRY. THIS IS MY LAST LETTER HERE. I DON'T LIKE TO WASH DIRTY CLOTHES IN PUBLIC PLACES. IT'S MY PAIN. THIS LIFE EXPERIENCE WON'T CHANGE ME TO WORSE AND I WILL STILL LOVE PEOPLE AND WON'T CARE WHAT NATIONALITY MY HUSBAND WILL BE. YOU SEE FROM THE LETTER THAT A PRINCESS CHANGED INTO A MULE AND TOAD LEFT A TOAD. IT'S NOT MONEY THAT MAKES PEOPLE HAPPY BUT LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING. MY LOVE WAS UNEXPERIENCED DREAMS AS HE WROTE AND HIS LOVE WAS CREATING THE WIFE HE NEEDS BASED ON HIS PREVIUOS FAILED EXPERIENCE. I AM NOT A DOUGH TO MAKE A CAKE OF, I AM ALIVE, AND I FEEL PAIN. BEST LUCK TO EVERYONE, BE NICE AND BELIEVE IN MIRACLES!
