So sorry to learn that things didn't work out...
Wouldn't it be nice if we "all" could predict the future...

I'm in year 2 of my marraige to former FSU gal and it is almost 15 year diffeence...
Has had it's moments...I'd be lying if I said no....But for the most part,her personal family values don't seem to allow for family failure...At least while the little one is still so young (18 months old)...Maybe that has been the common bond...Many,many,many RW post they dream about happy family life...
I wonder how many guys realise how importantly that fits into their equations

As for materialistic with my wife...It took about 1 year for her to begin to understand everyone here is not millionaires and that money does not grow on trees...
I said "NO" to a lot of things spending-wise right from the very beginning...Now,I tell her she knows how to spend well but I'm waiting to see her learn how to earn as well...She does not have a credit card because she has no way to earn and pay the bill...If she doesn't keep the "FREE" $30,000.00 car made available to her use clean,she will hear about it from me...I tell her if "SHE" was out working for it she'd take care of it for certain...Believe me,she ask for very little other than necessity and she is just as happy in a dollar store as she is in JC Penny...She buys only what she needs and likes having a stash for a rainy day...That seems to be one thing she learned and likes because I don't think it was a possibility in her previous life...

Finally,I gotta say this...She always knows the door swings both-ways for "both" of us...We get out of this marraige what we put into it...I think I'd survive starting over again a hell of a lot easier than she would...Hopefully,it will never come to that...She takes good care of her self and our love seems to be growing...If anything,it would be ME with my American born attitude of "nothing is never good enough"...The all American disease....

If you read re-read your post you have to ask -- well that being the case relative to age difference, how many of these women who come over here on the ticket of an older man are going to someday look around and wonder why they are with an old fart when other women less attractive then they are with handsome young prosperous guys?

Doc, you are 100% correct.

I just didn't want to start a flame thread again. I tried to say in a nice way what I was really thinking. "the only way some of you old farts are going to get a fine looking mid 20's year old is to go overseas an prey on them, not going to happen here"

to support this, I would venture to say that MOST of them are already AMERICANIZED.  It only takes a year in most cases.

But I'll try anyway.  It's less than 30 miles for me.

Gee...
Think about it...
Could "YOU" ever become Russianized or Ukrainized
I think some humanistic instincs of these ladies are developed over 16 or perhaps 20 years of their lives...

Sure...Some things will change but I don't think much will over-all.Try putting the shoe on the other foot...What's the old saying ???Can't teach an old dog new tricks ???Think about it...
