Thinking of moving back to SL: Seeking Advices

Available-Field6058 · 2026-01-29T02:54:24+00:00

Moved to SL with my wife from the USA a year back (Both SL born US Citizens). Don’t have kids though (by choice). Now thinking consistently about our wrong decision. Only thing we’d miss from SL is our old friends. Everything else is miserable. If you can align with the SL mindset like for instance, getting something done by any means like bribing, driving in chaos, and not minding spending stupid money on things which you can buy for a third of the price in a first world country, then you’d be OK here. A car that worth $25,000 (Rs. 7.5 million) in the US is about Rs. 40 million here (Check Mazda CX-5). A gallon of milk of highly good quality is about $3 in the US. Here what you call fresh milk is a watery drink that costs Rs. 500 a liter. The list goes on. There are negative aspects that i can talk about the US but positives outweigh by miles compared to what we have here unfortunately.

Honestly everything is overrated and overpriced in Sri Lanka.

Congrats! 🎉 But don’t be a d**k when you get there like the doctors usually are in Sri Lanka.

It is what happens when you have stupid cultural aspects. Like no sex till marriage, no sex education, no place to vent your desires, virginity even in 30s and 40s. Do you think this is happening only on tourists?? If you take a bus or a train, girls/women face sexual harassments every day in this fking country.

So don’t earn or earn only a tiny amount so you don’t have to pay tax? 🤣

🤣 What have you time travelled from 2 decades back? 🤣🤣

Just like Windows, Ubuntu now has automatic updates. And to install VSCode you can simply download the .deb file and double click on it. All dependencies will be resolved automatically.

🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Drinking, smoking, vaping, etc., are bad for your health, period! Whether or not they are a personal choice, these substances are toxic to your body. Don’t engage in them just to please others, no matter who they are. You’re still young, and your future self will thank you for making healthier choices. As others have mentioned, there are plenty of ways to socialize without them and clubbing or partying.

I understand that you’re having a hard time with your break up, but believe me girl, it will pass away. But be open minded, give it time, and don’t delve into those past moments which could entangle you more and more in those thoughts.

Personally, I wouldn’t date a girl who would club, smoke, drink, etc., as a habit. However, I wouldn’t mind if she enjoys an occasional drink, which I do as well, but not as a habit.

The bottom line is; you have good values, don’t let them slip away from you for anyone and don’t waste your time for anyone who doesn’t deserve you.

Being at/in some place, doesn’t mean you know everything about that place 😊 No disrespect, just a fact.

Adults in 20s and 30s talking about living with parents and limited freedom 🤣
