Good try! But, no I'm not Sriniv. I am an oldtimer but one who ain't as prolific a poster as many of the oldtimers hanging around VJ.

Well, my SO has been here for a year and a half and we are doing pretty good except for a yelling match here and a screamiing episode there

Other than that, we've bought a new house which we both love. Myself got promoted which turned out to be a bane rather than a boon. Job got more demanding but have learned to adjust overtime.

So, all in all, things are as peachy as they can get!!

A year and a half later we are strictly abiding by "Cleanliness is Holiness" doctrine. That means we do our laundry every day or every other day despite 17 years age difference. Can't hold myself back from boasting.

And we do organic laundry. No man-made chemicals involved... no viagra, no cialis

This is uxorious reporting from somewhere in the U.S. of A.

Whoa.

No offense, but I really don't think anyone on here cares how much laundry you do, how often you do it, or how well your organic sausage is cookin'. Ew.

No offense intended and no offense taken.

Just thought I'd throw in a positive status report in the midst of bad endings and divorce imminent or in process reports popping up on this forum every now and then.

Your screen name may be recently registered, but there's something somehow familiar about your style of phrasing....

Anyone seen Sriniv lately ?

Heehee…. it was just a little WOM humor, mostly inspired by your screen name and your use of the word “empirical.” Actually, your posts were not laced with nearly enough obscure references to vertically-challenged Indian generals, and how their stunted statures inversely impacted the rise and fall of Indian and Pakistani politics and history, for me to seriously consider you to actually be Sriniv.

Errr… I’m glad things are working out happily for you and your lady. However, TMI.

You girls kill me. Not only do you belittle and insult those of us males who disagree with you, but then you completely ignore, discount, or even make fun of the eloquent posts of several non-American women who have posted similar opinions... or who at least have offered their own remarks from the "outside." I guess the views of these women don't matter either because they come from "archaic" countries and have been oppressed for so long that they really can't think on their own like you liberated, empowered, know-it-all b*tches. Yes, I agree with what someone said many posts back, that you've done a very good job proving our point for us. I don't think one of us has a problem with our SO's changing and growing, but I hope to God that none of them turn into you. Just like I hope all those foreign men of yours know what they're getting into.

As for you, buddy. It is no surprise to me that a person who apparently regards the women of the world as being categorized into different “breeds” dependant on national origin -- and actually believes that said “breeds” could possibly be indicative of individual personality traits, or their level of devotion to their husbands and children -- would use a term like “b*tch” to address them. As others have so perceptively pointed out, such sour generalizations of American women are based solely on the generalizer's own failures to establish a lasting relationship with one. What you haven’t realized (or admitted to yourself) is that such a pathetic defense mechanism speaks a lot more about YOU than it does about them.

You conveniently ignored all the posts from men in this thread, specifically American men, who vehemently disagreed with your assessments, and instead (tellingly) turned your wrath once again toward the women who dared to express dissenting opinions.

And since you brought up the subject of foreign husbands of American women…. I would like to point out that my husband is from a FAR more traditional and conservative culture than either you OR your fiancée. But he would never, ever use such a term as you did in addressing a female. Unlike you, he treats all women with the utmost respect, referring to them as “ladies.” Even if they didn’t happen to agree with him. You would do well to take a page from his book. (Not holding my breath for that, though.)

My mistake. From the way you worded your post, I thought it was your husband who was pointing out that he was a foreign spouse and happy with his American wife. I didn't realize it was you speaking for him (but I should have guessed).

Oh ok, so now I'm the bad guy for using a mean word? Go back and look at some of the posts from the women.

I absolutely respect that your husband is the way he is, and yes I do try to act the same way (although I obviously fall short). But it is interesting that he comes from a FAR more traditional and conservative culture than WE do. But I guess it wasn't growing up in a culture like that that helped him become the respectful man he is today?

Actuallly, you can find Palestinians who will freely use the same term you did. This of course does not mean that ALL Palestinians either will, or won't. They are individuals, for pete's sake, not a "breed" sharing the same predictable personality.

I read all the posts. I respond as I please and as time permits.

My point (again) is that it's ridiculous to generalize ALL people of a particular country because you happened to have a bad, or good, experience with someone from that country. And such generalizations are bound to come back to bite you in the azz.

But some have to learn the hard way.
