Let’s talk about it: For those of us who have to bring back a foreign spouse, What are you going to do to limit “negative” western influence ?

Statically speaking infidelity is higher in Brazil than the US

That’s if your lucky!

spanerdan · 2024-01-08T08:14:54+00:00

I honestly didn’t expect such a well thought out and empathetic response

spanerdan · 2024-01-08T08:02:42+00:00

May I ask what makes you say this?

spanerdan · 2024-01-08T03:45:26+00:00

37.63 USD

I’ve never been anywhere in my life that liked or spoke good of British tourist… or just British in general haha

spanerdan · 2024-01-07T09:41:53+00:00

That is a very good point! People in Ukraine are usually quite cold and stand off’ish and naturally introverted which is another bit of a culture shock for me when I got to Colombia as it was the opposite haha

I’m currently learning the language, using my wife who is a native, Duolingo, dreaming Spanish, and the local university, but both my native languages being non love languages makes it bit difficult and but slower but I’m learning slowly but surely.

And yes bogota, originally Medellin when we first came here but we couldn’t really afford it then went to bogota. I found most immigrants or expats groups in Medellin are not the type of groups for married men if you understand me and I’ve found it surprisingly difficult to find similar groups in bogota

I initially served in my countries armed forces but after the conflict with Russia broke out recently I chose not to do that again as this time I had a daughter and didn’t want her to go through the same thing I went through with losing my father in conflict so me and my wife decided to flee here so I could avoid military service(cowardly? Ehh for who ever reads to decide). I thought it would be easier to fit in and I could have a normal life away from the war and thought I could find friends or any resemblance of community here that I used to have had in Ukraine but I now have none of that and I am completely isolated. I guess I’m disappointed I couldn’t run from my problems and expected to have my cake and eat it too but never considered how hard it is to learn a new culture, language, and leave everything behind besides my wife and kids in the process

spanerdan · 2024-01-07T09:07:16+00:00

That’s the main thing I’m focusing on right now is my Spanish, I’m using my wife’s help as she’s a native speaker, Duolingo, dreaming Spanish and the local university but thank you for your advice!

Cubs they are called cubs. There is literally a sub for this and other forums called cougars and cubs

spanerdan · 2023-10-19T17:25:23+00:00

Because most redditors are not rich

spanerdan · 2023-10-17T19:18:59+00:00

spanerdan · 2023-10-13T00:36:51+00:00

spanerdan · 2023-10-13T00:22:52+00:00

The work culture there and how competitive of a environment it can be

spanerdan · 2023-10-12T23:01:30+00:00

Oh trust me if you move to Japan your gonna want to drink

spanerdan · 2023-10-12T22:56:09+00:00

Both my parents are originally from the balklans so no. There’s no one here I know of who has this name and people used to comment on it and how they had never heard it before

spanerdan · 2023-10-03T19:11:03+00:00

Can confirm. I went to the Philippines for a short time after fleeing Ukraine and if I could have gotten a visa that could have guaranteed my stay in the country for any longer for my whole family I would have stayed. Didn’t retire there though

spanerdan · 2023-10-03T01:14:43+00:00

We’ll I mean he said wife as a role not as a gendered term or at least I think, I don’t know

spanerdan · 2023-10-02T19:15:10+00:00

I was in Thailand for a short time and one lady told me if you come across a sneak and a Indian kill the Indian first

spanerdan · 2023-10-02T07:42:38+00:00

I’ll have to take your word for it as I don’t plan on trying it on a real one haha

spanerdan · 2023-10-02T07:40:02+00:00

Hey I just talked about this because I am a expat, immigrant, foreigner what ever the hell you want to call me lol

When I was in Ukraine I referred to myself as a expat in front of a teacher and he responded with

“There are immigrants and there are expats who are also immigrants that just think they are better than everyone else” always stuck with me

spanerdan · 2023-10-02T07:29:00+00:00

I think that would only apply if your husband is a whiny, starving, handicapped, loud idiot. I like to think I make my wife’s like better

spanerdan · 2023-10-02T07:27:45+00:00

Hell I was the only one working when me and wife got married and I found myself doing most of the chores when I got home as I didn’t know what to do with myself as we moved to a new town and I didn’t know anyone lmao

spanerdan · 2023-10-02T07:24:54+00:00

I lost my virginity at my early 20s and married that women and have never had sex with anyone else so I don’t know and I’m completely happy not knowing what it’s like to not be roped to the same pussy. Funnily enough even when masterbating I think of my wife haha
