    Toddandcamilla got a reaction from Backpackers in Does it get better? Got married on K1 and it's been wishy washy hell.   
    I came from Europe, i was a total a.. For at least 6 months. Contant outburst in tears unexplained, mood swings etc. turning into arguments for no reason. But you know what, it was my reaction to being helpless, waiting position for EAD is stressful. Being home alone everyday, not having family or friends anymore. Its a life change we go through. An identical crisis if you will. My husband was so good at supporting and listening and baring with me when i had tough days. Just sitting at home, not able to drive or have a job is hard. You rely on your spouse so much and we all wanna feel a little independent just like we were before. But have patience. Please. Try to find a place of encouragement and support and remember its a phase! Im happier than ever with my husband now!! We have worked through the struggles of immigrating. It was hard but theres a light at the end of the tunnel. Make room for it to grow into something amazing again. Moving countries isnt like normal life. You gotta be good to your partner and listen and give a shoulder to cry on. And not put blame or frustration on the person going through this. Just encourage them to get it all out and try to make tomorrow one of the good days untill Ead and all that is over with! Learn and grow from this experience as a couple. It will make your marriage stronger than anyone elses who doesnt have to do what everyone in here goes through. Its hard on the spouses part too, but try to rise above it and acknowledge what this really is about. Its a process. Life is a working process and journey with challenges. Hope all the best for you guys!!! It will be okay again! Camilla

    I love my husband more than life. Im the european wife. Its hard. Its really hard moving to a new country. If you see that theres real love there, then dont give up! Have YOU maybe overlooked the cultural difference that might be the real source here?? I mean, so forexample my husband wanted me to be a stay at home mom and not work. Uhmmm most people thought i was lucky. But my culture, is that we all work. I love working!! I dont want to stare into the walls. I want to continue the life i loved before, now just with the love of my life. It took a long time till he overcame that difference in our culture. We dont have stay at homes. Nothing negative about it. I just didnt grow up with that being normal. Maybe if you look at Ukranien culture you will find that your dilemma is the norm in Ukraine? And therefore maybe not ur fiance whos being unresonable about money. Maybe thats All she knows? If she grew up learning thats how its done in a household.. You cant change anyones upbringing in a month. Like i said, if there is genuine and real love, dont give up. I still get homesick. Noone knows how hard it is moving away from your country, unless you have tried it. It takes years to adapt to a new country people say.. Give love time. If youre not interested in losing her. Hope all the best for you no matter the decision!! Its not easy! Chin up! Camilla

    Toddandcamilla got a reaction from Lozalex in Recent relationship and would want to marry   
    We had to wait 4 years to get married. We all survived it and so did our love. Its not hard if its true love. And where theres a will theres a way.. So i think marriage is a bad idea to use as the excuse of not being able to be together. So be together but see where life takes you all. If its the same in a year or 5 then get married. I dont believe people have to get married to be together in this situation. Its simply idiotic to marry someone you dont know. If so, get a good prenup and your papers in order in case it doesnt last when the first few months are over and real life hits ya with normal life situations.. You dont know the person that well yet.. Love is blinding for awhile. Just saying. Think about it again.. Im sure there are ways. We all had to do it. Long distance for 3 years. Married for one now. Made it fine even if we couldnt be together fully for the first 3!

    Marriage isnt something you should just jump into. Its sad to think it has lost its value to so many. Not the answer you are looking for but seriously, see if you guys can make it all happen without jumping into marriage as if it was a pair of new jeans... Im sure you guys can be together and then get to know each other first. For real know each other. Either way wish you the best of luck with the process!

    Brother i hear you loud and clear. Ive been here since 2012 in this forum. Maaaany people are living as you describe. With a kid on a long distance awaiting approval.. Its hard as hell. We have all been there. But we all have done it for years. Youre not willing to wait and see how this situation is even gonna go but just rush into it. Its a month relationship.. And if you research in here you will find people who are amazing.. Waiting for more than 5 yrs in some cases. Immigration isnt a walk in the park. Im not sure you have a clue how hard work it all is! Maybe you do! ?I cant be the judge of that nor should I! Not here to judge anyone! Just letting you know its not gonna be easy with the short relationship you guys have.. I sure hope for you it will! Truly! All the best to you! Be prepared for waiting time no matter what! And if you get denied cause you all moved faster than you could run then that will be devasting for you both. Immigration is a tough cookie for the lovers! But all the best your way! Hope you didnt take offense from my annoying two cents ? dont mean no harm!
