Engagement Rings

[Jason-Sasha 1]

My Sasha doesn't exactly get angry. Rather, she intimidates me with her intelligence. She's pretty much all sweetness. And any little argument usually goes in her favor. And she doesn't even need to raise her voice.

Ha! My (angry) wife will raise her voice and rant and yell, even in public, but the temper-tantrums and pouting usually remind me more of a six-year-old than a hot dominatrix.

"I not like this $30 dinner and I will not be eat this foo-blat. I want go home."

Yep. That's hot!

Oh this thread is really giving me a laugh each day! Hey, Slim, Alla has had her six year old moments just like that too! And, for Jason, can pull the "Sasha". I have no words that could possibly help the present situation. Alla has successfully outwitted me again with her meticulous intelligence!

The way I tell a playful anger from the real thing is how much Russian is spoke. If I had been truly bad. She pretty much tells me off in 100$ Russian, purposely. "You want to know what I say? You want to understand me? Go to find dictionary and study!"

You all will probably agree with me that this is what we love about our Russian girls. They challenge us with a cornucopia of emotions. Life is always interesting with them.

Yep, if the "slovar" is involved, chances are it's pretty serious. I've actually learned quite a few English words since my wife's arrival too. Many of the translations for Russian words are either "older" American words or words that are so out of use that I've never even heard them. Or never used them in that way!

It does add an element to the relationship that is absent without the language/cultural difference. Sometimes it's challenging, other times frustrating... and sometimes even rewarding. Always interesting though, that's for sure!

You guys must be doing something wrong. I know *my* girl would never say such thing to me. :lol:

[Kazan' Tiger 1]

She doesn't need to. Already got you on a pretty short leash, huh?

Wow, slim what kind of restaurants did she eat at back in Russia? My wife had been to a restaurant just a few times in her life prior to coming to the US. You must have spoiled her!

Anyway, the best response to that it, no more restaurants, we'll eat at home from now on.

I know I totally spoiled my Alla. We went to a nice place once a week in Kazan'. I remember one night she reminded me that no man, even her former husband had ever taken her to a restaurant (only cafés). She asked, "We will go often in America too?" I said, well... not quite, but at least once a month to a nice tasty place!

Yep, I've heard this one more then a few times. It doesn't matter what nationality the restaraunt is, it is always "stupid American food"...

I don't know, my wife enjoys the few times we go out no matter where it is to.

Unfortunately Sasha is an expert at dining out.

My wife needs more training then yours!

She says no, it's not short. It's just the right length.
