Happier Abroad Forum Community

Well, it's ok. He had a point. He thought me that there's really no point in whining and complaining. This forum was/is an eye opener but I have to move on to the next step by accepting the situation and making the most of it. Still trying to convince hubby to move elsewhere (India sounds good..or t...

Hahah...thank you. He entertained me all afternoon with private messages like "you f*ing wh*re, I wish all your kids die in cancer or hit by a truck" and so forth. I have educated myself about him a bit by reading some of his other posts. No offense taken. Karma is a bitch..yet, I sense he's such a ...

Oh and by the way, Konradzsky...I would be more than happy to get out, if I could, unfortunately the EU makes it borderline impossible for my husband to get a job over there. No offense but without my husband and children I can't get out..and don't want to get out, and no amount of angry posts will ...

Wow..This thread has taken quite interesting turn. :) To those that understood me, thank you. To those that don't - your miserable, mean, angry posts speak volumes. I came here to express my frustrations to people who likely understand what I have been going through. I have nobody to talk to -nor I ...

Thank you :) And sorry for disappearing for so long. I have been meaning to check back on the forum and my thread - but in another hand perhaps subconsciously I was trying to avoid it to not to bring back the tremendous frustration and heartache this subject stirs in me. Yet I am very thankful to be...

Winston, thank you so much for those quotes. I don't think I have heard any of them,I found them fascinating and painfully true. They give hope and explain what I see in the US but at the same time they remind me that no matter where we live we still have to face this disease of the human society in...

Ambient, Room Temp - I know you know already, just wanted to re-emphasize it, please please please remember to be extremely grateful that you two have each other and have 4 children! There are still a lot of UNNECESSARILY very lonely people in this world just nearly literally dying to meet another ...

Something else I wanted to say..Have2Fly said "Or it will grow new roots into wasteland and feed of waste. What happens then? Flower becomes part of the waste" - and this reminded me to something else equally important to spiritual/mental/emotional waste that was mentioned before.. I have been a pre...

How long have you been here? Your english is perfect. Especially the usage of articles, which Russian speakers almost never get right, even after decades of living here. ---- Almost 7 years now. Thank you - it is really not that perfect it just came out right because I felt every word of it :oops: U...

Do.Not.Bring.Her.Here. Period. I am married to an American and I'm from east Europe. If we could start it all over we would live somewhere else. We can't start over and we don't have options to leave (as of right now..). For her sake, do not take her out of the culture she belongs to. If you are loo...

Have2fly, Thank you!! It was a very touching message. I completely understand and agree what you've written. Once again it's so much relief to see that I am not alone with how I feel. For years I've been trying to suck it up thinking it's all my fault. If this makes sense at all, blaming myself -whi...

One more question - I will let Mr. Ambient :) take over at this point but I was wondering how they conduct interviews for example at the Landstuhl regional medical center for civilian positions for those that come from the US. There is a severe shortage in the lab where my husband works and no chanc...

Thank you Clearbluesky, I am looking - do you think it's worth putting in his resume even if there's no job opening listed in his field? He always tells me that lab positions are rarely posted on hospital websites (even within the US) and I was wondering if it is the same over there too. He is reall...

It's me once again..Winston, that opinion page blew my mind. I was sitting here crying my eyes out and I only read it halfway so far. Some of the opinions are almost 100% the same of what I used to try to explain to Room Temp when we talked about the differences and my frustrations. All I can say is...

And, of course, Winston, please feel free to add my comments to the immigrants' opinions page if there's anything worthy of being added. I'm growing more and more honest in this fake and dishonest society. I am alienating more and more people with it, how odd - my honestly is what used to help me to...
