There is a common trend in the U.S. where married women are leaving their husbands. My wife got pregnant from another man while we were married. She left me and our 12yr old son and had the baby with the other guy. Now she's with a totally different guy. I raised my son, homeschooled him, sent him to college, now we work together and are building his first house. I ended up finding who I thought was my true love while my son was in college. We married and had some good years, but she ended up leaving as well, after I supported her to get her bachelor's and master's degree. Women approach me often to date me, but now I wonder what they hope to get out of me. I don't think they're intentions are really to go through life together, but rather what they can get out of a man before going to the next man. I want to share life with someone special, but it's hard to trust anymore. I just focus on sharing life with my son and my brother, sister, and father. Hopefully I could find someone, but I don't know how to believe a woman's true intentions anymore.

But my story is entirely different - we both grew up in the same city in Eastern Europe - I was born there, and her parents moved there for work; and we've known each other from childhood. It made a huge difference since we are from very similar cultures, and we speak Russian at home (since my Russian is a lot better than her Lithuanian!). As for some of the comments here, that a lot of thse girls can be gold-diggers who just want citizenship in a Western country - yes that can be very true. You just have to be careful. If she is hot and has a super-outgoing personality, and you're an average-looking introverted guy, it is too obvious she is only interested in your Western passport. Look for a girl that matches your looks, and more importantly, matches your personality. I've seen how quiet mild-mannered girls just go overlooked because they do not draw attention to themselves.

[@TheRaghorn]

Let me help you. They really dont care much about leaving their firends because they say they can find new friends. But they will stay in touch with female friends but rarely a male friend, so you never need to worry about them going back to old boyfriend etc. Next, family. Yes it is hard for them to leave parents only for the most part, but they always say they will visit someday, so they do not think of it as they are in another country, but as though they are much closer. And this is from personal experiance with 4 different ladies I have brought to US to start new life here, but only one was for myself, 11 years ago.

[@chucklynch6523]

The biggest issue most Russian women that want to find a Western guy is that they do not speak English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, etc. Yes, there is such a device as a translator that we can use on our computers and I-phones, but translators do not really convey the spiritual content that needs to be conveyed in any romantic relationship.

"Soulmate." Now that was is a key word mentioned by one of the interviewees. The most important factors in a relationship are character, personality, interests not too wide apart, and similar culture (easier to understand each other) makes life easier. Looks come far down the list for a relationship. A healthy relationship is built on love, not lust. Lust is attraction to looks, and that can lead to love, but it is not love in itself. The tendency in the West of falling in lust is one of the primary causes of the high divorce rate. Love is deeper, soul to soul, and then looks are not so important.

I truly agree that love doesn't depend on culture or where you're from. My girlfriend came from the Dominican Republic and moved to The Netherlands with her family because her mother married a Dutch man she met online. Me and my girlfriend love each other even when we are from quite different cultures and countries. Of course we are different but it's no problem. She moved to The Netherlands almost 2 years ago and I met her in March of this year. She can already speak Dutch quite well.

I was ook 20 jaar getrouwd met een nederlander. Ik ben nu opnieuw getrouwd met iemand uit mijn eigen oost europees cultuur. Is veel beter achteraf. Ik was alleen, geen familie in NL, weinig sociale contacten, alleen op het werk. Daar maakte hij een misbruik van, ik ging naar het werk en verder moest ik lekker thuis zitten en alles doen. Hij dacht dat ik hem nooit zou kunnen verlaten omdat ik volgens hem niks en niemand had. Maar hij heeft zich daarin vergist.

[@samuelradang5545]

I met lots of Russian men and I can say most of them are good, humble and have good sense of humour. Mostly in the academic sector. I have yet to meet Russian men and women outside of academic. But I assume they are more or less like myself. Talking with Russians is really intriguing as I really love the country and its long history, its beautiful countryside and its diverse culture.

[@robertunderdunkterwilliger2290]

Nationality and race matters to everyone, people who say otherwise are ignorant of their nature. Sometimes two people from different backgrounds can get along well. But it is always an obstacle. Preserving nationality is a way to show gratitude to your own kind.

[@Sina.g.z]

I think that you are right. Otherwise, the world would be a much more diverse place rather than countries or continents with solid borders.

[@robertunderdunkterwilliger2290]

@@Sina.g.z Both the Koran and the Bible thinks so too. God created people and nations.

[@vulpesinculta9253]

Yep. Compatibility both culturally and genetically, as well as in terms of personality type, is the most important thing when It comes to long-term relationships. Way more important than the momentary feelings of "love" and lust which are just temporary and will fade eventually, leaving you with a person you no longer feel any kind of passion anymore, who you aren't actually compatible with. So if you want an actual relationship and a functional marriage, for the love of god, marry within your own ethnic group with someone you actually get along with.

[@vulpesinculta9253]

​@@Sina.g.z Countries with solid borders is what makes the world diverse. If we all mixed with each other, we'd no longer have the features unique to our own ethnicities (genetic clusters) and cultures, now would we?

[@vulpesinculta9253]

​​@@robertunderdunkterwilliger2290And god didn't make a mistake. Mingling with outsiders is an offense against god as well, if you wanna look at it religiously. But it is also an offense against your own genetic interests, if you wanna take a more secular stance. Either way, it is a terrible crime.

Great discussion. I think you found some very thoughtful and articulate women (and a man) to interview. I think they got to the core of it and it is the same everywhere. But I am impressed with how self aware these women are.

Я уже 10 лет в браке с американкой, из них 7 лет живем в России. Конечно поменять ничего я не хотел бы, но я искренне завидую своим друзьям , которые женаты\замужем за россиянами. Лично мне очень не хватает общих шуток, воспоминаний, да и в целом понимания. Язык, как многие думают, значительно меньшая проблема, чем пресловутый "менталитет"

I think Americans have quiet different mentality so I can imagine it’s a bit of a “make it work” situation. For a swede it’s a bit of a stretch, because we also have our own way of joking, discussing, inherited traditions and underlying understanding that doesn’t need to be explained through discussion. Though everything can work out as long you to love each other, I wish you two all the best!

[@nike121989]

@@emelie5515 I think we have grown together and significantly affected each other's mentality. We used to have very different perceptions of the world around us. I remember how we used to have a lot of forbidden topics such as LGBT\BLM\CLIMATE\Ukraine and other trendy agendas. Now I feel we are much closer with each other than with our fellow country mates. Now my wife can barely talk to her relatives and friends from the USA, so do I. They (American side of family) accuse and blame us for everything. Her last visit to the USA a few months ago was a disaster. It might even be her last time when she sees those people. We used to visit them at least twice a year but nobody has ever come here. I'm very happy that now I have an excuse not to go there. Now we have a nice life in a Russian village we have 7 cats, very nice neighbors and after she gets Russian citizenship this year we will have children. (People plan God laughs)
