Hi Guys,
I know this question is one that some of you might avoid because your FSU wife reads this forum. I am curious to see the answers if you have the guts to post them.

My question to you is:

IF YOU COULD TURN THE CLOCK BACK IN TIME, WOULD YOU STILL HAVE MARRIED YOUR FSU WIFE KNOWING WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH WITH HER UP UNTIL NOW?

Are you glad you married the one you are with? Do you wish you would have met a few other women to see if the grass was greener? Are you 100% sure you made the right decision to marry her? IS she everything you thought she would be? Did she change after you married her? Do you regret marrying her? Did she change for the worse when she came to your country to live with you? Does she think your money grows on trees and spends it without thinking?

IS SHE TRULY THE BEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO YOU?

Just curious guys, I'm not trying to get you in trouble. If you can comment then do it. If you can't then don't.

I'm just curious, that's all.

No I would not have married her. I am still paying for this mistake.

No, she never did this and I never met a FSU woman that did ... although I know they do exist.

Actually she about the worst thing that ever happened to me.

Probably not the input you are looking for but there are other members that would answer the same way.

Cmon GTR, don't hold back now, tell us how you really feel about the subject....

Posted by: sidney

Yes she is and has been the best thing that's happened to me. I wouldn't trade her for 1000 Britney Spears or anyone else for that matter.
She is exactly what I was looking for and more. I'd never tell her this. I do give her a difficult time but she's a good sport with a sense of humor. She can take it as well as dish it out. The only regret I have is that it took me so long to find her.

Yes I would like to roll the clock back at least 30 years and it would have been great to have met her then.( But the soviets might have objected) But people change over the years so I don't know if it would have worked at that stage of our lives. It sure works well now though!
I can honestly say w/o reservations that she is the best gamble that I've ever taken.

I would definately do it again if I could turn back time. However, I would have waited a while before jumping in so quickly. I went to Ukraine out of curiousity, and met a wonderful girl. I jumped before I researched, and was not ready for the financial hit. I had not saved any money, was vacationing alot, and never even thought about all that I would have to provide for her when she got here. Basically, I didn't think I would be going there and meeting a wife. It's been a tough year, and over $20,000 later, but we're going strong.

But guys remember, these are not "perfect" women. I have been married before, and the occasional problems that arise are the same as I had in my last marriage. She is moody sometimes. Gets irritated if I spend to much time with friends. "Meaning more than a couple times a month." Her feelings get hurt if I don't take a minute to apreciate all that she does around the house. We occasionally need a break from one and other. Etc.

I am not saying anything bad against her, I'm just pointing out that a marriage is a marriage. I happen to be in a good one, but it's no different than other happily married couples that I know. Sure, how we met each other is a miracle, and the struggles we have been through to be together gives us a deep respect for one and other. But it still takes work to make the marriage healthy.

G, I did not know you had those feelings about Lora. My fantasy has always been Lora. If you don't want her, I'll have 2 wives and move to Utah far up in the mountains.

Hmmm ... it appears maybe some members are confussed about my post. I was talking about my ex-Russian wife Lana. My current girl Larisa is great and we are doing fine ... no problems ... and yes I will marry her when she arrives.

Posted by: dagpop

G, I know you were talking about Lana. I was just kidding with you. I know you love Lora very much.

Posted by: GoingToRussia

I agree with you redhawk. I've known her over a year now but I haven't seen her in 6 months. I don't think I could do this again.

If you were to go back, for example, what would you pay more attention to? Compatibility? Personality?

Posted by: AkMike

You'd need both for a good fit! How could you define the seperate parts?

This question seems like it can set a lot of people up. I have to say, marrying my wife is the best thing that has happended to me, I would not have changed anything. I was married before to a Mexican girl, we both made mistakes but hopefully we both learned.

My wife changed a lot of things when she came to the US, but she still holds her Soviet/Rusian roots to be true, she does not believe that money grows on trees, we do spen a lot, but we do a lot of things.

I would never try and change my wife, we grow together, we learn together, and we make mistakes together.... that is all part of marriage.

I do believe that marrying someone overseas, you have to be a little more cautious, but there is no true difference, you should get married for the same reasons, not just a reason to be married.

Anyways, there is also a thought that the grass is always greenier on the other side, i do not believe this, but again I do not care, I am perfectly happy with the amazing wife i have

Overall my relationship with Rima has been a good experience. I have a closer relationship with Rima, than I had with my first wife. We do have our good times and bad times. That is part of a marriage. I have learned a lot of new things and met a lot of new peoples by marrying Rima. I would go through all the visa process and marry her again.
