Here's my thread with my cover letter and (if you decide to do one) affidavit.
http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/336576-i-751-cover-letter-and-list/

I've finally got my I-751 packet put together. I've just got the cover letter and final list drafted, and I should be able to send this out later this week, and finally get this step in the journey under way. I became eligible to file in early September, but life happened, as it tends to, and it's taken 'til now to get everything organized and together.
Before I send off my package, however, I would like to make the now-traditional request for other people who are going through or have recently gone through the I-751 process to give my list and cover letter a lookover, estimate whether I have enough evidence, check to see if the writing style is good [not too formal], etc. I would really appreciate any input you all may have.
Before I started this process, I put together my own list of evidence by looking through literally dozens of similar threads in the forum archives. Comments on this cover letter won't just help me, but many others who will find this thread in the weeks and months to come.
Thank you very much.

If a woman is not from a machismo culture, has never lived in a machismo culture, and does not want to live in a machismo culture, then "learning about the culture" is not going to help - the more she learns about the culture, the less she is going to like it. The education process has already been a major shock to her, and it has barely begun.
You can bring the man out of the machismo, but you will never, ever, get the machismo out of the man, and the relationship will get worse and worse the longer you try.
And the converse holds true too - a man from a machismo culture will never ever be happy with a woman who doesn't "know her role". The OP's fiance knows this, has already decided that she will never "break" down to what his culture considers an acceptable feminine role, and has already planned and announced his exit strategy. He knows he will never get the "American feminism" out of her, and he has no plans to abandon the machismo of his culture.
The OP needs a man who comes from a culture where independence and strength [in the modern American/Western European sense] are acceptable characteristics for women, and the OP's fiance needs a woman who grew up in a machismo culture, and is comfortable with and totally bought in to that culture's idea of what femininity is. They will never ever be that for each other, unless one of them becomes a radically different person, and I don't see that happening.
OP: get out, and get out now. The only way this will ever work out is if one of you totally rewrites their personality, and it ain't gonna be him, and I really don't think it should be you either.

There are two kinds of men: the ones who will be a good provider for you and your children, and the ones who will take from you what they can. I think you know which kind he is, and which kind you want.

Sadly, unless her natural parents are deceased, I am not at all certain that this is possible.
There was a similar thread about a year ago, and I seem to recall it not being workable - that there was [and presumably is still] no way to adopt a child whose parent's are still alive for the purposes of immigration.
Good luck, though!

This isn't about guns, or gun control, or any of that. It's a symptom of a much, much larger pattern.
Over the last decade, through both the Bush and Obama administrations, the government has demonstrated itself to be a borderline competent, stunningly mediocre tax collecting machine, serving only its own interests, which are generally the interests of the ultra-rich who form most of both houses of Congress. Both parties have lost the confidence of the majority of the American people.
Police officers, as representatives of the government, used to inherit some of the respect the government had. Now, in many areas, they can only do their jobs through intimidation and the projection of raw force. In these areas, any idea that police officers were members of the community, and beholden to it, has died. When people have no respect for the institution of government, they are much more likely to start shooting at members of what they see as "the blue gang". When police officers [as extensions of the government] are not perceived to be members of the community, then even routine calls can turn deadly. This is what we see happening, more and more often.
When the government is seen to lose moral legitimacy, police officers are seen to lose moral legitimacy. When police officers are not seen to have moral legitimacy, they become seen as nothing more than another gang: "the blue gang", and their job becomes enormously more dangerous. [Which only makes the situation worse, as the measures they must then take to protect themselves in the execution of their duties alienate them from the community even more.]

It's ok if you entered with the intent to marry. It's not ok if you entered with intent to adjust status after you married.
Hopefully, you have lots of evidence that you intended to return to your home country. Job? Lease? Something?
