The Return of the Pink Ranter

[dwheels76 5,468]

One has to wonder how many years a person actually has to give it to get over the change. Sometimes I don't think my wife will ever totally get over moving to the USA. You'd think a person from a third world country would be ecstatic to move to a first world country, but its often not the case.

Well let me help try to paint a picture I don't think some get. I might offend but I need to make it plain. Like I tell them in my Nigerian groups when these women don't get why their husbands can't adjust. Immigramts are coming from a country where they are the majority. Not that everyone looks like them but everyone looks like them feel me.

This is WHITE AMERICA please don't be confused about that. Sure we have all races and nationalites here. but baby who runs this camp sure isn't Africa, India, Philippines. And its very very hard. You are leaving a culture that works in a certain way and thinks a certain way. Like Nigeria truly is like America of the 40's and mostly the 50's. How they view women, family and the like. You have very egocentric men who are raised women tolerate whatever they dish out. Now they are here with independent dominate women who in a word for many ain't going to LET no man tell them NOTHING. Well baby how the heck is that going to work.

I know for me being in Nigeria was a blessing for the first time I saw me everywhere. Well let me rephrase I saw black people everywhere and in the 7 months I was there only saw 4 whites and that was at the hotel and airport, Unfortunately they thought I was white. Whch hurt my feelings but still it was nice to be in the majority.

My husband is very happy to be here, but very clearly prefers his country. Can't blame him, though. It was all he knew for the first 22 years of his life, and change is hard.

i know this convo is done but fyi..I have been here three months and I wanna just go back to my job and family.

I've had conversations with hubby about moving back to Ecuador, and it's always been him telling me we have to stick it out here a few more years. He seems to be getting used to things here better than me.

I might as well move to the Philippines then, as my career would have just as much chance of continuing on.

OMG I thought you were white! Just kidding.

Just goes to show there's big differences between what people consider a race though. To them, you were not black enough to be one of them, you had too much white in you. Turn that around and in the USA our president is half white and people refer to him as black. I personally have never been able to look at him without seeing both.

Actually two things are what gets to my wife, we work too hard here (not having enough fun during work, plus too few holidays) and the second not having her family here. But it might also be true she always feels like she's different due to her race being different.

Happy New Year everyone !!!!

ps: yah, I shall give it more than 3 months for sure. I think the adjustment is also a matter of what you expect and what actually happens at the end. Nobody can really "know" how things will be.
