This advice is anathema to any red-blooded American male. It's a badge of honor to live like pigs to as maximal an extent as possible and to stuff ourselves until we're about to be sick, whee man. :lol:

Are you sure your not a RUB husband...:-)

What woukd I need a wofe for if I was clean and didn't eat so much? Oh yeah...

Anyway, it is their duty and pleasure as women to keep our stomachs full and testicles empty. :P

Fashion modeling takes up some of her spare time.

Never get upset about anything. You are the ROCK, she is the weak person. If she has to be strong she does not need you. She needs you so she can be weak. Let her spin and fuss and then just fix it. Don't SAY you are going to fix it,just FIX IT. Doesn't matter about what, be cool. If she is upset with you and screams...yeah they do that...just be cool. Listen and then say "OK sweetheart, no problem" Don't sweat the small stuff. If they see you get all worried and upset...OMG!

Words of gold for anyone interested in a RUB wife.... As Tanya says "I am woman. It is normal for me to do these things sometimes (be emotional). You are husband it is different for you." :lol:

The first paragraph explains a lot. In your second, it looks like you are saying that foreign marraige is an accepted way to access superior economic opportunities in the EU?

Well, I don't know so much about economic, exactly, but there is a perception that things are going to get worse before they are going to get better. Sure, we have nicer things here than before, especially in Moscow and Petersburg--there has definitely been a VAST improvement in terms of "things you can buy" even since I started coming to Russia. But now you can't show basically anything on TV before 11pm, you will have to pay extra to have your kids take classes like physics in school, Putin is talking about building up the military industrial complex, 1930s style, rather than focusing on the modernization of Russian industry, the church is becoming an ever more influential force to the detriment of basically everything...

"I want to take this opportunity to mention how thankful I am for an Obama re-election. The choice was clear. We cannot live in a country that treats homosexuals and women as second class citizens. Homosexuals deserve all of the rights and benefits of marriage that heterosexuals receive. Women deserve to be treated with respect and their salaries should not depend on their gender, but their quality of work. I am also thankful that the great, progressive state of California once again voted for the correct President. America is moving forward, and the direction is a positive one."

:thumbs:

Can we list the proverbs?

"I am a woman, I do not need a reason to worry"

"If I must be strong I do not need a man"

"You go in front, I go behind"

Seriously, when she is worried she looks to me for my reaction, as long as it is "No problem...we will just..." She is :D

If you say "OH NO!, WHAT?" the reaction will be :huh::crying:

Shouldn't the correct title of this thread be "Buying a Wife from Ukraine," not "Buying a Wife from the Ukraine"?unsure.gif

Yeppers. "The Ukraine" is a derogatory term as is "Malo Russia".

I wouldn't say it's "derogatory," exactly; although both "на" and "the" imply it's a region and not an independent state.

The RUSSIAN viewpoint is different ! They would say The.

The title of the thread was created by a Canadian/Canadian importer (which is hardly even importing). We were tryng to be polite in overlooking ignorance...we are used to it.
