i dated buffy once...and met buffy sainte-marie

I knew what a TN-1 was. So basically, you wanted to marry someone Indian, a born-again Christian, but not someone who had just emigrated from India.

I don't know why you (and mawilson) drew this conclusion.

Because you said you didn't want someone fresh off the boat unless they'd been here for five years ?

Immigrant spouse and American spouses, It all depends on your surroundings, what kind of people you meet and interact with, I have no complain against american women, I dated in the past and could have marry any one of them it just was not meant to be faith had it otherwise. Lot of misconception regarding foreign spouses, I've been to India several times and was in charge of some outsourcing software project there, so i became very familiar with the people, the culture, that's how I met my wife, She wanted me to move and live there, was not too kin to leave her friends, family and surrounding, but when we look at what's best for both of us, We realized it's best if she moved here instead of me staying in India. People have lost of misconception, and even foreigners also, they think american women are easy, not faithful, play around, lot of negativity, my folks were married for 30years, most of my relatives been married for generation and specially i have one of my dear friends was still a virgin at the age of 30, she's smart, gorgeous, educated, the perfect southern creole belle from St Rose New Orleans, but at the time I could never see myself in a long distance relationship miles away but in the same country little did I know that a few years later my fiance would be waters away to a dfiferent, country land, time zone.

Thanks for expounding this topic sir. The 'people i meet and interact with' arent the same that I interacted with before. I work with Americanos men and women when i was still back in the country of origin, and they are all pleasant and friendly. Dear hubby's she-friends made me cry blood....that's how I describe my situation here sir. My message was about how I was treated and it wasnt about American women in general. Probably Ms. Kentucky jst didnt seem to understand my english composition. Cant blame her, I talk and write english but I will never be 100% accurate in expressing my thoughts.

So you wanted to marry an Indian, a born-again Christian, and attempted to fulfill your parents' wishes of marrying an American citizen, but, because you didn't want to marry an ABCD, decided to try to find an immigrant who had already naturalized. Finding that impossible, you looked over sees?

NO attempt to fulfil parents' wishes here--as I had enough experience of disastrous advice from them!

Wait, why does it matter about hearing the advice in Sunnydale? Why do any of us care about 90% of this? I'm confused.

That is in response to peezey's statement "you must not visit Si valley oft".

What ?!?

Are you telling me you've written off all US women because your husbands' friends treated you in an unappreciative way? How they treated you has nothing to do with them being women....

Also, if you are so eager to label all US women a certain way because of your experience with a few, how would you label your husband who didn't stop this behaviour of theirs long before they made you "cry blood"?

Just a thought

Love has no borders some people just go on vacation and met the love of their life.

...Or work

(Thanks Boss!)

In my case...I'm the foreign one. I'm definetly not a housewife, but I think I keep a good work-home chores-school balance.

I don't mean to throw all argentinian men in the same sack, but guys here tend to have a more traditional view on the woman-man role, so it was really nice to meet a guy that helps around the house, and supports my carrer goals. Justin even cooks better than I do!, except for traditional argentian meals, of course, which I'm sure he'll beat me at that too eventually

I totally agree! How in the world are you finding out what these women are saying in the first place? Not sure why your husband needs to share what women in his office or wherever have to say about your relationship. Typically if women gossip about a mans wife they sure don't do it with the man himself! Then my husband doesn't keep female friends so I wouldn't really know.

[Trompe le Monde 1,107]

Sounds like there may be some jealousy issues with the she-friends.

[JVKn'CVO 11]

If she says Her husband's friends are giving her a hard time, then she must have a reason to say that.

Or will you go USCIS on her and request that she submits "proof of ongoing beotchiness from husband's friends"?

Plus she said at the very first post she didn't mean to include all american women on her remark, she is talking about her personal experience with a certain limited number of women.

And about the husband, if I understood correctly, these women are coworkers, not real friends...so I bet that's not an easy situation for him too.

I say we back up our VJ family member and scold those other witches that are making her feel bad.
