I can say lots of stereotypical things about American men, mexicans etc. Why exactly do you come to our forum? Its not to lift us up or because you understand? How do you know what latin american women say about American men? How do you know that all these latin women are honorable in their intentions to marry American men? Yet you trash us all the time. At least if you meet an American woman and she befriends you, you know she doesnt want to marry you to bring her family here or bring herself here and then ditch you (which happens all the time here in Florida)

We are no more stereotypical than any other women. Women are women. We like to bounce stuff off of each other. You are using this forum to justify your particular choice. But I have hells bells news for you. There are tons of American men getting used and abused by latin women for papers, money etc all to get out of their country. Read the immigration changes thread. Just cause shes mexican , doesnt mean she is a saint anymore than being American makes a woman horrible. Shes a nice girl. You were married to a bad american woman. You married a nice mexican. Does that make all mexican women nice? Hell no.

I always am so perplexed when I see the reasons some of these guys have for trashing us. When I was in Abu Dhabi, I saw hoards of russian prostitutes everywhere I turned turning tricks for oil workers and saudis and uae guys. Yet I have to read these threads about how all american women are garbage and how all russian women are amazing. All russian women, mexican women, whatever women are not saints. Like all American women arent evil. You need to wake up and realise that there are good and bad in both countries and just because your american wife was a jerk, not all americans are

I agree with you, nagging a man doesn't get anything positive back from him. I think women rant on here because their husbands aren't here to see it? Pretty much besides posting up your picture you're really anonymous on here. And they think about their husbands respect so they don't tell anybody face to face. Because wht if he does something sweet after and then your friends roll their eyes cuz they don't know his sweet side vs the bad side you've been complaining about. I've heard my friend bicker about her husband and I didn't like him before cuz of all the complaining but he's a great awesome guy now that i see he makes sure she eats before he eats (American guy).

I don't know how true that sentence is about only American women complaining about men hahaha you should come to my country you'll see alot of women complaining but at the end of the conversation they end up talking about how much they love their husbands and only go thru hard times with their spouse. It's universal for women to complain we're not that strong to hold things in and If we do we go CRAZY.

You are right ladies, this is a worldwide thing, women talk, and we communicate to each other by talking, men not so much. My husband is just as big as gossip as I am, so men also talk about each other, just in a different way. My husband’s friends know what they say to him, he will come right home and tell me, but they still spill their guts to him, so they aren’t too worried. People are just interested in how others handle situations. I too don’t go to my family, love them, but they are useless in some situations, and this is where people in the same situation come in to help. Truly no one ever has spilled big stuff on this forum, just everyday problems that happen to ever body. No one has come on here and said they had killed several husbands and buried them, now that is personally stuff folks. I have never seen any of these ladies trash their now husbands, but we do joke about men being lazy, and sport focused, things woman have done from the beginning of times. Really what husband wants to talk about his wife’s bodily functions, that is when your husband says, hasn’t it been a long time since you called your sister?

speaking of serial killers.... did you hear about the smiley face killer? I cant wait till you decide to hit orlando....downtown tours on me lol

In one part you are portraying the wife, in the other part you are portraying the husband. I know you are the husband, so why are you speaking for your wife?

Also, since you are whining that only the women here are talking (because lets face it, we are the petitioners doing all of the immigration work), does your wife post here? If so, what is her screen name?

Personally my husband is bored with VJ. He reads it on occasion, but he has other things that interest him. Although to be fair I don't vent about my husband here. Not that we don't have problems at times, we do, but I choose other ways to deal with it. We always work it together without help. But that is just us. If the women come here to vent its because no one understands the unique trials that an American MENA wife has to deal with more than other American MENA wives. Like Sarah and Jenn said, women all over complain. Its human nature, nor American womens nature. Similar to the fact that all men like to hoard the remote, or they change channels non stop. There are just some things that are universal, so deal with it.

Stop trying to portray the perfect marriage because there is no such thing. Personally I think when you have one spouse claiming everything is perfect it is usually because that spouse is so blind and controlling that they don't know, nor do they care what their spouse is feeling if it doesn't conform to their way of thinking.

Ameen to that last paragraph.

I am coming wahrania, when my husband comes, he can hang out and talk all Arabic withyour husband, while we hit the sites. Hesham still does not appreciate a good murder scene. Plus I made that damn cake you talked about, so there went my fresh fruit diet. I blame you for that cake, OMG it is so good, you think you might have died and went to heaven. By the way, my husband just wrote me and guess what, he is telling me all about the politics of his job, men are sometimes worst than woman. Too funny, grown men, one guy is having a big hot affair with this young thing, while he is married with two kids. He is open about this, and I am waiting for when the wife finds out, and he even told Hesham, and the men that Hesham told his wife, now this is all over the place. DAHHHHHHH, idiot of course he is going to tell me this juicy piece of news. Does he continue to update Hesham, of course, too funny. I will let you all know when it all blows up.

I only come on here when I get bored at the office.

I am the opposite of controlling, fortunately my wife and I am both givers not takers. It is noce for a change to not be taken advantage of or manipulated by a woman. I never claim to have a perfect relationship only a good one finally because I don't have to put up with a woman complaining all the time and living in fear of what mood she might be in at the moment. When all your life you are treated like dirt by women and finally you find someone that treats you good ofcourse you feel like maybe it is most American women. My wife has told me many time that she doesn't understand why American women act the way they do. We still have to deal with my ex wife because of my children and this occasionally cases problems. My ex threatens me all the time but I never stoop to her level and fight with her. I always try to be civil with her. I have custody of one child and she has custody of the other. I pay child support but she does not. I always go pick up my daughter but she only comes to see her son maybe 2 times a year and we are only 3 hours away. My son would prefer to never see his mom but my daughter would live with us if there was anyway posssible. I could go on for hours listed things about my ex but it is not important. The point is she is EVIL.

edited myself cuz it wasnt nice


jJ

So did your wife learn her prejudices against American women from you, or did she develop this herself? No wonder you 2 get along, you share prejudices.

Puleeze!!

Sorry Jackie, I am not as nice as you.

I am about fed up with all this American woman bashing. I personally think men bash American women because they cant flippantly get away with the crap on us that they get away with women from overseas. You really have to tow the line with an American. She may put up with some of your crap, surpress her needs and roll over and play dead for a while but after a while the YANKEE comes out and run... MF ....run


As far as American women treating you like crap, American men have hurt me too. Its part of life, love , romance etc etc. Its just part of life.

However if you are a passive agressive whiner and pursue dominant bitchy women. ....well you are going to get what you get


All I can say is I am nice with who is nice with me, patient for a while past all understanding.. you go over the line with me... ( hurt my family or my kids) I will give you an ### whooping you will never forget. I am sure an entire village is talking about what I did to the last man who hurt me...

i don't think American man (my hubby) get away with his crap so do I? my mother in-law was saying that she think i'm different because i'm from overseas.. we are all crap people anyway

Very nice, Wahrania. Tell it, Girl!

i even trash my husband infront of his siblings and mother when he is not nice to me. can you do it?

I think it's safe to clear up that American women are taught not to be taken advantage of and to stand up for their rights since long time ago. That a man as a bachelor has enough time to do what he wants vs when he gets married he should be straightened out and stay with his wife and kids. I think American women are taught never let a man tell you whats right and wrong for your life this is your life. You take care of kids, clean, cook, work so you have the right over yourself.

In our culture (and I see the pattern with alot of other cultures in reserved areas) you're not really suppose to talk back to your husband unless he beats you , cheats or is just being impossible. We do have that right to speak up but not to ruin husbands respect alone or publically cuz if you don't make a man feel like a respected man he will stop acting like one. My father said your husband is always right and he will lead you in a good path with God so you must respect his authority and be by his side to take care of him. He also told me to become independent get my education, work part time if possible so if anything ever happens that cannot be reconciled I'd be able to take care of myself if no parents were alive.

I think there's a tiny bit of a difference b/t the 2.

I am an American woman and I love my sisters in this country, some of the best woman I have ever met.

Thats not part of being an American. I never would trash my husband in front of people. I have seen some hispanic origin women and some phillapinas do this before ( I am friends with some) and yes, some Americans, but there is no way I would do that.. I would just not do that..PERIOD. Thats not an american characteristic. Thats just plain nasty

I have seen plenty of American women make a seen in public but never other nationalities.

well honey you havent seen enough. I have seen phillipinas flip out on their husbands in person and latin americans too. They may not have done it back home but some really show their ### over here. I work in sales and I see husbands and wives interacting all the time. The worst I have seen are asians. They run the show and their husbands need to figure it out pretty damn fast. I have never seen American men as henpecked as by their asian wives. I have seen some god awful Peruvians and Mexicans.. to the point the men were scared to come home. The most domineering American women I have seen are southern, believe it or not. They always seem to be able to run an entire platoon with a sweet drawl....hence the term steel magnolias.

I think you just had a bad case of luck with your ex. American women,,, and I have lived ALL OVER THE WORLD..are some of the most gracious, generous, unselfish women I have ever met. They always do for charity, something you hardly see overseas. Americans for the most part, take in more overseas students as host parents than I have ever seen. We have a welcome wagon approach.We not only take care of our own, we take care of disasters overseas. If I needed help, I would get it from an American womans civic group. American women are very can do and very generous. I have never seen the outpouring of generosity from any other people like Americans... And I have lived and traveled all over....

You had a bad run with one woman. There are lots of american women who would have loved and adored you. Have you ever thought that you made yourself emotionally unavailable to an american woman because of what happened to you?

I have never came on these boards and bashed my husband, nor have I done this in a public place of any sort. I am as American as anyone can be. The more I read these posts of his the more I can see that the woman probably had had enough. I don't think she is to blame any more, he is the most annoying person I have ever met in my entire life.

My problem is that I gave too much and was always taken advantage of.

I think you place to high of an opinion of yourself.
