The wife wants to return to Russia

[Corey-Mariya 14]

So your wife is way more smarter than you? Oh wow. I speak three languages and met my wife by chance in Prague. I WIN!

I would trust you, but you have too much hair and it has gel in it.

And they debated, but looks like Russia lost.

Your viewpoints about these subjects are so backwards I almost pity you

So she did work/travel... I live in Russia, but the very specific circumstances of my situation make it more viable for me than the US.

I mean, if someone does work/travel, that indicates at least an OPENNESS to the idea of leaving Russia, don't you think?

Absolutely not. It was to see a different country and party. It was her first time here. When I was younger I visited different countries and before I left I had never had any intentions in moving there. Even after we got married she told me she never thought she would live here.

And this makes her better? You better? Why?

Having known lots of people who have done work/travel, I'd take it with a grain of salt.

We actually debated living in Russia. Since she already finished her degree and I was still in school plus her being fluent in both languages led to are decision to live here. We have had numerous friends move back to Russia because they had a better life there. The difference is I met a russian women by chance who had a great life in Russia and because we fell in love is why we decided to live in the usa vs. a desperate guy who can not find a wife because of his lack of an education messing up ect meeting a desperate girl on the internet who messed up and can not handle life over there due to not having and education messing up ect... This may come to a shock to you but there are very many russian women who prefer living in Russia. Try meeting a real Russian woman. And trust me the U.S.A is not as great as you think it is.

Look kid, I wasn't looking to get hitched either time I was married. Whether my wife was husband hunting for a Westerner I couldn't tell you...if I was a mind reader I would probably be filthy rich by now. And as far as being desperate...lol...Iv'e bagged plenty of chicks, and a lot of them were Russian. You think I stayed in work camp the entire time I was there? None of us did. I'm not exactly sure what constitutes a "real Russian woman" in your eyes so you have me there.

So tell me what's the difference from me meeting my wife on myspace, and you meeting yours at a party? I met my first wife at a party so was that "true love" vs this last marriage? I'm sure you've been around the block plenty of times seeing how your older and wiser than the rest of us so please set us straight on what a "real Russian woman" is. I'm, dying to hear this one.

Duh Gary...because he's a young aspiring engineer who met his wife at a party of course.

His grammar is so much better than ours that my eyes are bleeding, uff man. Furthermore, I'm thrilled and relieved that they decided to live in the USA instead of in a desperate guy.

As Groucho Marx said, "Outside of a dog, man's best friend is a good book. Inside of a dog, it is too dark to read." See, man?

There is no greater source for anything than Graucho Marx.

What happened Charles, you couldn't handle a Ukrainian chick with a Brazilian so you went back to a Brazilian?

We should just be happy he doesn't have that messed up canuck flag next to his name like he did a few weeks back.

OP, since you're both engineers, will you be able to work for only 6 mos at a clip and have a job to come back to, or will you have to find new employment each time you move?

I'd wait until your wife has citizenship, so she doesn't risk losing her gc. I do realize you're allowed to stay out of the country w/ a gc for a certain length of time, but I'd play it safe, and stay here until she gets citizenship.

Like I said before, nothing would happen unless she secures a second passport first. I know the rules very well, so no question about that. The question was more like: "if we decided to do this, would it be a good idea?" Now I know that opinions differ.

To those who consider Russia a hole, I wonder how extensive their international travel experience is. The majority of people around the world don't have the privilege life that most of you are lucky to have here in the USA. But just because they are not as lucky, we don't have to insult them and their environment.

In terms of work, we are thinking that I could find medium term (6 to 12 months) contracts when we are here and she could find temporary jobs when we are there. However, we need to be prepared for those times when reality does not match expectations.
