Since it's a US territory, I don't see why not.
-
I'd definitely watch it. I love documentaries about people's experiences in life like this. Sometimes I feel like documenting my life/relationship with a Russian man.
-
You aren't a Ukrainian woman.
Most Ukranian women are attractive enough (to say the least) to not ever be jealous. Oh well.
-
Maybe some of this girlfriend, slumber party, chit chat could be conducted via PM. I'm having flashbacks to when I was married to my ex wife.

Well, yes, but my Spanish is a lot worse than my English. It's also harder for me to talk to people from Latin America, than to people from Spain, cause I've been learning Castillian Spanish... I know it's easy to overcome that kind of difficulties - all I need is time... after all, I've been taught British English in the university, but I'm totally fine with American English now (even though it was hard to adjust to it at first).
It's good to know though that there is some demand for the Russian-Spanish-English language combo. That encourages me to improve both English and Spanish. I wonder if this uni is anywhere close to DC
Oh, Latin American spanish, especially Caribbean Spanish, is really a mess to understand at first. I've met people who have studied Spanish for ten years and don't understand Dominicans or Puerto Ricans.
The uni's not in DC, but it's an Hispanic-serving institution whose only Russian prof (who speaks barely any Spanish or English) is about to move back to Russia, so the language program is going to suffer greatly if they can't find a replacement soon.

Who else would raise you besides your mom and maybe grandma apart from your dad? I'm kind of confused by that statement. I was raised by a single mom and was a tomboy.
It pisses me off when girls try to ban their boyfriends/husbands from looking at other women. If he's going to cheat, he's going to cheat, and if you're a controlling pain in the @$$ all the time, it's all the more likely that he will stray/leave you. Just because someone else is Pretty too doesn't mean you're not.
The way that I was raised, my mom worked full time and most times had two jobs (my dad split and never looked back) and came home at 9 pm and left at 5 am to work, my grandmother was in Puerto Rico (so I saw her maybe twice a year), so I was raised and spent most of my time with my divorced, single uncle, his five sons, and my other four male cousins from my other uncle.
Yeah, most women don't want their man staring at other women... I get it, I used to be jealous. But seriously, if the worst thing your man does is notice attractive women every now and then, you've got a great man. Obviously I'm not ok with a guy who goes out on a date with you and spends 95% of the time looking at everyone else, but it's unrealistic to expect men (or women for that matter) to become blind to everyone else.
-
Are you sure you are not a man disguised as a woman? I tried to explain the same thing to my wife, but she kept hitting me the whole time.
I'm pretty sure I was a man in a past life. Could also be that for a long time, the only females in my family were my grandmother, mom, and me. So I was raised almost exclusively by men.
Plus attractiveness can be appreciated in both genders. I'll happily admit that a woman or a man is hot... doesn't mean I'd go to bed with them, they're just physically appealing. I think that if your partner will cheat on you with another person only because that other person is attractive, there's bigger problems in your partner or your relationship that you should worry about.

As a professional driver with millions of miles experience.
Both instructing and driving around the world.. I can only say. Amercains are the worse drivers in the world.. Mostly because of the Automatic transmission .. They do everything but drive.. Cell phone, lip stick , dinner and more
So if you plan on teaching make sure its a Manuel trans..
Then patience patience patience .. Talk softy yelling only makes them nervous
Clearly you've never been to Caracas. A one-legged blind crackhead with severe and uncontrollable Parkinson's disease would drive better.

Gary, I don't know where you are from, but where I grew up, you don't leave your fiancee or wife in abject poverty, living in a hostel. Thats not what a responsible husband does. Maybe that is just an American custom.
It's not. I found it odd too. But oh well, to each their own.
ONA, you speak Spanish?! And Russian (of course)? Well if you decide to stick to teaching I know of a uni who's in desperate need of a Russian professor who speaks Spanish and English.
-
My Australian ex used to say "gorgeous" a lot, and I taught my Russian boyfriend to use the word too... but I flip out if he says a girl's "attractive". Just man up and say she's hot. I don't mind, I'm the one he spends his time with.
-
That's so bizarrely selfless.
If I was very rich again I'd have the same attitude...although I'd probably just donate most of it to charity.

It is a well known fact that most American students in the FSU are in fact spies.
I have a friend that was an exchange student in a linguistics program while he was in the Navy during the Cold War. He was almost never without at least one shadow everywhere he went.
I'm studying in Moscow and people ask me all that time whether I am/want to be a spy.
I do walk around with a bit of paranoia in case someone's following me.
-
That's insane. They should've had somebody Russian with them.
^^ Best way to avoid being stopped. Also, be a female... I've never gotten any ####### from police in Moscow but most if not all of my male friends studied/worked in Russia have.
-
Just to clarify before the flamewar begins, the part about getting stopped by the police only happened in the more rural areas I visited, not in the cities.(edited for spelling)
Out of curiosity, what year were you in Russia?
-
Hasn't he already run before and failed miserably?
And how many times has he gone bankrupt? I wouldn't trust this guy with debt...
-
There's no way in hell I drive in Moscow so he's always the one who does it.
I don't think I've ever seen such insane driving/traffic.
-
Why not just use the VWP?
-
I was lied to. btw thanks for killing any fantasy I might have had with that vid.
Not killing your fantasy. There are a few hot, many average, and a few ugly women everywhere, even in the FSU. You have a hot wife and therefore got luckier than most men on the planet. Be happy.
-
It does help to ease ones conscious if the guy is a jerk to begin with.
Also happens a lot.
-
You don't have to wait that long. Get married. Come to America. (Order doesn't matter) Claim abuse. Get divorce. Force the guy to liquidate all his assets and take half. Get expedited green card. Buy a business. Wait five years. Get your own eye candy from the old country. Sounds like a plan to me.
I know that happens more often than we'd all like to admit, but it takes a really evil and effed up person to do that.
-
Some women prefer "papa". Papa knows how to make everything better.
Aren't those "suggar daddies"? Marry him, wait till he dies (or even earlier if you're lucky), then profit.

Like others posted on here...screw the church thing. The last thing any guy needs is some ignorant stupid ####### chick who believes in voodoo, vampires, and god. It's 2011.
As far as bringing my wifes divorced mother over to live here... I pray for that day!!! If there's a god, she will move in with us.
Hot doesn't even begin to explain her. Hot and sexy with "screw me eyes". ...not that I would ever do my mother in law...unless it was my wifes idea and she firmly insisted on it.
I know of a few guys that married Russian chicks when they were working at Sakhalin that got skewered, yet for the most part those marriages have a better track record than friends that married chicks from the states. And if your going to get screwed over...let it be by something half your age, dresses sexy, looks hot, and has a sexy accent. I mean if your going to go down, go down in style right ?
Worst case scenario for me... my wife gets her citizenship and divorces me. So what alternatives does that leave me? I fly back and find me a hot little sexy blonde blue eyed 18 year old gymnast who weighs in at 95lbs wet out of the shower...one that doesn't speak a lick of English.
So ya, there's always a back up plan eh.
Frmo what you wrote you're better off with the mother if that happens..

I met my RUB man on a language exchange site (send me a message if you want the info I don't wish to post it here) because I had just moved to Moscow and wanted to meet Russian speakers... he needed someone to practice his English and Spanish and I needed someone to help me get to know Moscow as a local and practice my Russian.
I'm of the opinion the best relationships start by accident... if someone actively pursues a mate on a site I don't think it'll work (well, that's my experience, so I have a bias), but well some do. Especially since there's a lot of interest in finding Russian women, scams are more common and if he just focuses on "she's so HOT" he's an easy target.
But really, it doesn't matter WHERE she's from, there is no such thing as a cheap long distance relationship. And I mean "long distance", not "He goes to college in a different state".

I'd say you don't need Russian to teach english but I'd find it very difficult to live in Russian with only knowledge of basic Russian...
ONA, I grew up in a home where three languages were spoken. It hasn't made anything more difficult except that my Spanish reading comprehensino is not as good as my English reading comprehension, etc. But it's made learning other languages a whole lot easier. You're doing a great thing as a parent to teach your kids two or more languages.
And like ONA said you dno't have to take intensive Russian at in-Russia Russian courses, I just personally chose to because that's where I wanted to go for grad school and I'd already go way beyond the levels offered at my uni.
How much money do I need...
in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus

So what about when she gets old? You can use as much Botox as there exists in the earth but nothing stops aging. And what if the man gets fired, takes months in finding a new job and has to drain his savings, or becomes ill?
It can't be that simple for a long term relationship... unless you're willing to replace your SO every few years, which isn't really a bad idea after giving it some thought.
