Hi Zee Bee.. :)

:lol:

I'm just reading. Its interesting that these issues are not confined to one culture.

Of course NOT!

Nope, they are universal - People are people!

True true.

Reading what everyone has written, some of you could be telling my story. Its not easy, but it really helps to know that others have been through it, are working through it and have made it.

So many times I have wanted to throw in the towel (or throw something at his head).

There are just so many little things to think about. If we started a list I don't think we would ever get done. Everyday I think of something else and think "I wish someone had told me ____ ". Its a slow and sometimes, painful process.

:help::oops::ot: I need a touch up

A TOUCH UP A WAH !!

mi ead need fi CREAME

********************************************************************************

....when it hurts to look back and you're scared to look ahead LOOK beside you and I'll be there.....

There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore... and who always will.

So, don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.

Kelly, we have talked many times in the past - You are a stronger woman than I am, because I would be in jail by now for murder - I hope that all works out the best for you.

Nanny, I am so sorry to hear that - stay strong, and enjoy the blessing of your daughter that came out of this situation - I dealt with the same ####### from my ex - he always talked a good game with our son, but never ever walked the walk - finally, I just stopped answering the calls or reading the texts - it was too hard.

Wow, LuvTrav, That is so crazy. Sus is right, I woulda probably been in jail too. Do you have family members, male friends, brothers, fathers, uncles who could "show him a thing or two?" You know...somewhere secluded, in a dark alley or something....I'm just sayin....

Wow he sounds like such a stress, but unfortunately this is not at all uncommon as i hear with many men coming here from developing nations.

Marlita, did you hear this before or after you married your husband.? Please STOP saying this, this actions or acts are universal it doesn't matter where they hail from. Hell my nephew is married and he doesn't even believe he should contribute to the household bills. Should his wife let him stay, that's up to her.

The biggest problem for my husband was that there wasn't much Jamaican Cultural things where we live.. I did everything I coud to help him to be as comfortable as prossible with his new enviroment.. We looked into classes for him, added the sports package to the cable so he could watch football (soccer). We brought countless calling cards so he call to Ja and chat with his friends to keep him from being bored too death while I was at work.

The food was another issue..We wasn't very fond of a lot of things. There is a little international market not far from the house, prices high as hell, but we shopped there for things he wanted. I did what I had to do to try to help him adjust to his new life.

About 2 months after he got here a friend of mine gave a Reggae Around the Pool Party. I thought oh this is great!! There is bound to be some people here that he'll be able to bound with.. And there was, this opened his world up. At this party he met 2 people that he knew of from home (JA). This opened the door to employment and links to more JA friends.

From that point on his adjustment became much easier to life in America...
