I really don't want to turn this into an "American-woman bashing" exercise but, quite frankly, I got tired of dealing with American women who always seemed to be looking around the corner for something better while at the same time making me feel inferior. In the navy, I discovered foreign women and my entire mindset changed. Eventually, I met a lovely young Ukrainian and traveled overseas to get married. We've been together six years and are approaching our five year anniversary and I couldn't be happier. I've found in my foreign wife the comfortable, relaxed companionship devoid of game playing that always eluded me when dating American women.
Probably because she lets you be the man, i.e., she probably follows your lead, and doesn’t tell you what to do. She also sounds like she’s easy to be with.
You are probably the kind of man whose actions match his words. You never gave her a reason to doubt your affection and commitment.
This is how it works, and to accept less is a serious mistake leading to a very unhappy marriage.
I’m glad you found your special wife. Congratulations! :-)
