Yep, been there and done that. Mine already spoke English before she came to the U.S. She got thoroughly Americanized, even though I told her about that problem, it happened anyway. She was not a gold digger, although some of them are. She just had too many single friends. Several years later, she kind of hinted around that maybe she had acted a little rash, but the damage had been done. I wanted no part of it. I found that living well, was the best revenge. I got a younger woman (see profile page) The rest is history as they say.

The problem with overseas women, as you discovered, is what happens when you bring them to the US. The best solution is to go live over there, keep your assets outside the reach of their divorce courts, and always maintain the option of leaving. If she just sees you as her ticket to get a Green Card, she will leave (and good riddance)

Commentator Fred Reed did that, got himself a lovely Mexican woman, and now lives in Mexico with her.

I was lucky enough to marry an Asian woman who had lived here a long time, already become a citizen, and had not become Americanized at all. She doesn't watch US television and considers white American women lazy, fat, surgically-altered golddiggers...so she doesn't have any single American friends to negatively influence her. And since she's kind of a dragon lady, her single Asian friends do whatever she tells them to. :)

On the other hand, I've seen the other side. The two of us have watched the process unfold as a friend of ours married a Philippine woman and brought her to the US over the last three years. We even gave her a job in our company. But she became Americanized at an alarming rate - so much so that our friend wants to move back to the Philippines with her before any more damage is done.

It's unfair to blame women as a group - the Gramscian-Hollywood culture in this country has become so toxic that it requires great strength of character for a man or a woman of any background to overcome its influences and remain an independent thinker.
