    .... all I know that up to now I haven't seen any EE/WE marriage /relationship that has lasted!!
    I know one. A friend of mine. He's russian. She's english. He had a greencard to the States and was in UK before moving to US. He felt in love, gave up the greencard and came back to the UK illegally. They have been married for 15 years now.

    Speaking of lasting marriages, how about yours? Were you married to an EE man?

    Speaking more broadly it's hard to see a lasting marriage nowadays as the rate of divorce is something like 60% in UK/US (wasn't it?).

    And by the way, most of us, prefer to think by experience and feelings rather than common misperceptions.
    I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

      It's my right one actually. But I am looking in a mirror... spooky.

        Aaarghh

        Sandy why are you so predjudiced against EE girls?

        As you say after your rant, if the woman is serious about kids/family etc, as a matter of fact yes, its very serious. More so in fact thank it ever was with my WE ex.

        Any EE woman of any specific level of education or status in society will have exactly the same expectations of her chosen partner, cultural differences taken into account.

        The picture of some glamour model with a fat, beer stained boring slob is really once again a stereotype.

            My SysAdmin is a 7 foot tall Georgian. Does that count?

              I'm sure John Galt has a Russian wife. Franco has a Lithuanian gf.

                No but I'll have one if there are any going spare. On 2nd thoughts I might be better off with one from Tonga.

                    I believe Roger Rabbit (MIA) had a Russian one as well.

                      Strangely, AtW is always silent whenever there's a spot of Eastern Europe bashing.
