Love / If a guy was nice? [42]

ShellyS > There is no denying that your word's from your last post have a very truthfull fact to them.

deepak > There is no denying that from the word's that you speak in your initial post that you have either No or little respect for a female,and so you should acknowledge and accept when people show to you dis-respect.

FACT > "what goes around comes around" .

ShelleyS > I have to admit that you are correct , that the break-up that I have had has come at a time when I have the more important upset of knowing that my mother will die from this brain tumor (Grade 4/most aggressive) and I realize that my emotion's are upset at this time.

niejestemcapita > your opinion is fine re;silly post's. But your suggestion that I am anti-english is incorrect . But I will inform you that I do think that England is not one of the better places to live. Which is why I will return (after my mother) to buy my home in Deutschland.

I will do this as I find Deutschland a more pleasant country than England to live and can be with other family and I understand that Deutschland has it's problem's but it is about inner-peace and that gives happiness , however if you find my opinion 'silly' then as I have said your opinion is fine.

pps; No I was not doing any anti-english thing as you suggest. Why would I uh .. you do not know me so do not judge me. My mother's family are from Ireland. nr Cork. My Best friend in Australia is Welsh.

So I am sorry to dissapoint you but you are rather hopelessly in-correct. But as you are a teacher then you will have to disagree. again goodnight and pleasant dream's to you :))

niejestemcapita > you not think it is clear that I am saying there is good and bad in *all nationalities not just scottish,welsh,english,wallones,espana,ireland etc etc etc but *all ,as was mentioned previous in this topic by a different member earlier .

ps; also if I was wanting an english lesson at this time of night then I would be going to my course at college for an english lesson and not for my choosen subject.

It is understandable that the english language is not very understandable to many people including the english .

anyway it is late . goodnight.

Love / 2 different cultures or 2 different people [44]

jethro and company I agree with you, as my mother is going to die from this grade 4 brain tumor and since she left back to polska she has had (since 02/03/ to this date) small-pox and chicken-pox and now she say's she has stomach cancer and will die in 10 year's,when she told me via web/cam/skype recently that the doctor's took something from her stomach and I asked to see what the doctor's had done , I was told "no , maybe tommorow" but.. the next day she sent sms to say she was in hospital due to a nose bleed caused from being tired. Hence would not be on skype. Then the next day in the morning another sms to say "i wish you was here" but at 18;30hrs another sms to say "I want you to forget me and I want to forget you" so ;/ as you can understand from this-I do agree with you...

Jethro, I just dont like the closeness that England has with the u.s.a or vice-versa but I apologize for my curt-ness to my reply to you. best wishes.

Love / 2 different cultures or 2 different people [44]

jethro, Thank you for the compliment. It's to be expected from a yankee. Alway's full of mouth.
ps; Is there any chance you can take your yankee culture out of England and put it back where it belong's on your doorstep as I am afraid it is your culture that over the year's has crept into England and Europa that is slowly destroying/destroyed our European Culture.

And also phone your president and tell him that the vast majority of English do not want such close ties with your country. Your u.s.a is trouble and your response show's that by your very nice post.

pani_Polska > I read your replies and understand each one that you say. My summarisation of the polska girl's view-point on the English is entirely what I was told by my ex-gf' who of course was polish. It was repeatedly said to me by her how the English were not good at this (relationship/marriage etc etc) and that the country is not good etc etc ,I must say that there are thing's that I agree with her ,example:I do find that inner city's & town's etc are very un-tidy or un-clean and sometimes the system that is here (England) makes you wonder who on earth makes the decision's and put's them in place.

When I alway's return from my adopted country in Europa back to England in my vehicle ,my shoulder's sink and I think "uh back here again :( however you may say "well dont be here,then"!! There is a very good reason as to why I am not leaving England at this time as my Mother has a Grade 4 Brain Tumor & has been given 3 - 12 month's to live> hence, it is not possible to leave her/England at this time.

I have the intelligence to know that not all Polish girl's/Men feel this way about England and I feel no anti-polska feeling's within me as I have friend's (polska) who I help if they need some help with something. However I placed my initial post as what I was told and what I have read here and heard some polish say about the English prompted me to place the post that I did ,to gauge what people would say about it and their feeling's.

I almost certainly do not regard myself as an elitist that term is very in'accurate of me . I am just an ordinary guy who has had mis-hap's in life (has'nt every-body ;) and work's hard etc etc and keep's pushing the wheel's of his life forward as best he can at this hard time in my life. All our wheel's in our live's become shaky from time to time.

I am just trying to know as to what Polska girl's feel about England (not about me:) as I am interested to know if they feel the same as I have been told.

Kapusta, it is also a shame when a family take a dislike to you because you are 39yrs and daughter 25yrs. And that I have a daughter. And that I am from the U.K .

JustysiaS, I do not mean to generalize,however it seem's to be inset in the mind's of polish women that English men are not good people,please correct me if I am wrong with this view ?

I wanted to place the subject here to see the negativity of the replies to this post, I gather most of the polish girl's do not like England. It is after all an Island that has many different cultures that live on the Island. Some maybe worthy of being here and then again some mabe not so worthy to be here. It is a country that in some places is a downright mess and other places that are very nice. Polish people and girls in particular should know that all countrys with all places have the good and the bad.

England as an Island has it's fair share of good and bad and to this point it is the same as the people,to generalize and think and say (as I have noticed here) that English men are bad and English women are bad is a really sweeping statement that is comparable to one saying that all Polish women are after your money and only look for someone who has wealth established in them and their family.

I understand that two different cultures coming together to form a relationship is not easy and as been said on here before it can and usually does take time for this to happen and during this time there can be some really hard times. I and my ex-partner have had a fair share of these and so I write my words with only the brief (approx 12 months) experience of this. However that experience has been dogged with mis-trust that inevitably led to our break-up.

And so to the point that English men & Women are generally not good "as has been said on this forum many times before,remember people will break-up,divorce , separate for many different reason's and that does not just happen in the U.K . I feel that a person who believes this is an England phenomena is a really short sighted individual with no knowledge of life as a whole,no wider experience of people on this planet. For as humans we are born as individual's with individual mind's. There are really good friend's of mine who love their wives/husband's and children and family's etc etc etc and they are English. Their are German friend's of mine who have separated,divorced are single mother's etc and also Polish who have the same situation's in their live's so before as a Polish person you place a derogatory comment about English people , I would suggest you have a long hard think about mankind as a whole and give it some summing up before placing your post.

If we had no error's in Life we would never need to make improvement's and with improvement's everything can be better. And if you feel this so strongly that you do not like the country of England you have the option> go elsewhere and try to find what you think will be paradise. Paradise is what you make it and not thinking it.

Thank you/Dziekuje.

ps; "To the girl I loved (you know who you are ;) who has now gone out of my life,I only want you happy and if this is without me then it has to be like that. I am hurt but I accept".

Love / Polish Girlfriend Does Not have my Trust, Please help :( [22]

if you want my opinion , the longer your in it (with a lack of trust) the harder it get's and with it ,the harder the break when it comes. I wish I had of stepped away from mine when I first had a genuine reason for the mis-trust that I felt, (within the first couple of months), Instead it dragged on for 12 months and it did not get better,it got worse. Turned my mind to strawberry jam mixed with pickles, and that is by no means an exageration. (just getting over it).

The language barrier is a very good point. I feel the best voice to listen to in your situation is your head. (*Not your heart).

Love / Discussion about Polish Men's Tempers [103]

note: a polish person does not have different brain material from that of a person from Chile ...the brown is the same ,,and inner conflict of one's brain/mind can be drawn from the four quarter's of the planet . It is DEALING with it and correcting this behaviour that apply's in this instance..here.

Love / Discussion about Polish Men's Tempers [103]

There are deep seated issues that people who hurt there loved one's suffer from . And these people can do one of two thing's to face this problem,

1/. Understand the problem AND do something about it,to stop it in the future.
2/. Not understand you have a problem and continue to hurt your loved one and I imagine yourself.

The first line to this post claim's there are deep seated issue's that the instigator suffer's from,this is to say that either he/she (i have seen women do this,not only men) has an inner turmoil that NEEDS to be corrected. Many of these problems the person who commits has deep regret at having struck his/her partner. However if the instigator does not show remorse/sorrow then that is someone who simply does not think they have done bad. The higher percentage DO know that what they have done IS bad and it is by recognizing you have a problem and facing it and dealing with it ,by talking to a doctor and being referred to medical help to make that person understand themselves better.

I read the posts and the response is "GET RID" "WALK AWAY" "RUN" etc etc ....however if a particular person has good qualities but is shadowed by a dark side that ultimately destroy's his/her relationships because of temper then it is time and never too soon to seek help.

Many people who cause distress in either vocal or physical form have a problem either from growing up and not always from a physical father/mother , there may have been sexual abuse or a number of traumatic issues that have affected his/her trust and understanding of his/her calming of there oneself.

I have known of cases who did not commit abuse to there loved one and after some time snapped ,it is a very difficult subject as it is a very personal subject . For those of you reading this who know of someone in a hard time ,I say to you this...

If they understand they have a problem and are prepared for the long haul (hard work) to better understand themselves and to become a better person and make the inner peace they crave ,that will remove the inner anger to make them better at dealing with issues should they arise....then it can be very much worth it.

If however ,they do not think they have a problem and it is simply time before it happens again then it is better to leave..

I know there will be many post's to disagree with what I have written,however this is a public forum and it should be borne in mind that we are dealing with the most complex creatures this planet has to offer and I feel it is an understanding of why people do things when the vast majority alway's show deep angst at there actions to the one they love.

Love / 2 different cultures or 2 different people [44]

hey danny do you know i understand your brief reply to the utmost as to be told by her the night before she said goodbye she had to drive to Ireland in the night to get something from a cousin there from south midlands her leaving point to Ireland and then return back from Ireland to south midlands ready for work the next morning at 08:30hrs seems odd to say the least,Irish friends of mine have simply said that its not possible.

I sent to her an sms to say she had to cross water to reach Ireland from the u.k but the reply i received was

"i was do this. it is the same in love as in war ; a fortress that parleys is half taken. sleep darling"
I found her rather odd and that she was not exactly being honest with me and 2 people who love each other > she was not being truthfull or so it seemed :(

this girl slept with me on the friday night and left me on the saturday > i not understand after also being told "I love you & I want to marry you & want 2 children with you" I am not naive enough to beleive anything what people say but when ones in love they choose to beleive as it seems the natural path but boy oh boy she tore my heart in bits and its never easy to pick up the pieces :/

Love / 2 different cultures or 2 different people [44]

i thank you for your sympathetic replys and in truth its not sympathy that i am wanting but just simply to say my experience with a polish girl albeit just 6 months but 6 months of heartache and uncertainty can be a long time when you doggedly try and try to know what your partner is wanting but just receiving uncertainty. Also apologies for the long post. :(

Love / 2 different cultures or 2 different people [44]

hi i write my first topic of a sad note due to a breakdown with a girl i knew (polish) of just 6 months albeit a short time i actually felt very attached to this girl who i will simply call >aga,she came into my life during march/08 & instructed me that she lived in a rented home with 4 other polish nationalities and one of which was an ex-boyfriend of some 7 years but she told me they no longer loved and slept in different rooms and mentioned to me that she did not want to tell any of her house mates that she had began a relationship with me. Okay I understand this but what troubled me that when asked if i could see her room as I was helping her with english and sometimes the house was busy and so her room was a perfect room to choose to vacate the busy kitchen etc I was told no every time and so when asked "why" i was to be told it was a mess,however I felt that i was not concerned by her room a mess as for me thats not important if you feel alot for someone but of course it made me wonder why?

This went on and it troubled me more when told I could not see her on certain days of the week ie:monday,tuesday,thursday,friday & saturday but a little but sunday i could see. She never really asked me for money so this was not a concern and i topped up her phone a few times and bought dinner etc as this is for me just plain normal when you care for someone. However things started going downhill rapidly when after being told she wanted to marry and have children she started to dictate to me what i would and could not do once as she said moved in to my home ,for example go out wit my friends to a pub and although not really a drinker (little than one visit to a pub a month) during evening with a close friend whom I sometimes work with as I am a self employed gardener, but this would be a problem. My dog whom i have owned for8 years and comes everywhere like work with me would have to wear socks in my home but I said I would buy her a cat would not have to wear socks. As an english man I feel that the english language has somewhat changed during the last 20 or so years and swearing is seen everywhere and i know my place when i should not swear family,children and such like but it is something that is in my language as it is in the english dictionary of collins but this was not to be accepted. And so I should accept also the fact of being made to feel jealous by her statements of "this man at work who is so attracted to me and he asked me out for pizza" and "this man asked me out today" etc etc when asked why she done this i was to be told "i like it when my man shows jealousy".

and so this went on and she was going to move in with me once her contract expired (end of august) and so I had to decorate my home ready for such time but furniture and colours was always wrong when choose by me and so I adhered to her choice to please,one friday evening I was sitting at home very lonely and bored and after a call from a work friend deceided to go to a small pub for just a couple of units ,i wanted to do this as i was tired sitting at home alone on the evenings and days we did not seduring the evening some old irish work frinds who i had not seen in a long time began a night of whisky drinking and inevitably I went back to my male friends home to crash on his sofa,i returned in the morning a little worse for wear to find my dog had destroyed my new floor and door and door frames and was none too pleased ,I sent to her an sms to say sorry but I had gone out and when she came to me within 30 minutes gave to me an outburst that she was leaving me this led to an argument and we broke up.

we came back together but on saturday 16th august after she had been to a friends leaving bash on the friday evening and after spending the night with me I dropped her at my home and she walked to her home some 30 meters away saying she was tired and wanted to sleep,this was at 16:00hrs /saturday time passed and at 23;15hrs I went to bed after not hearing nothing from her,sunday morning came and still nothing and so after sending some sms asking if she was ok I tried to call but her phone was switched off ,her friend received an sms from her saying she was moving out but that was it and nothing to me,until i received something from her tuesday saying she had moved out but did not want to tell me where and that i should not contact her,baffled as i was i tried to not worry but of course it was hard as i love her so very very much she told me she was returning back to poland and she would tell me when she came back but as I have also to leave u.k and go to germany for film work and not return until 17th september this i feel is a long time to not know or see your supposed partner for and maybe i am at fault here but the film work as an extra for me is very important and could be good but i feel it is important to do this with a clear concience and not the great worry of your partners strange behaviour and so prior to leaving for germany I sent in an sms that i wanted to know what was going on as i did not feel it was fair to not tell me what was going on and that I would end our relationship if she did not meet me to explain as my head is being destroyed with the constant worry she did not reply & so i regretably went to her former home and asked the ex-boyfriend just what was going on ,I was told she no longer lived there (which of course i knew) but he did not want to speak to me and in my desperation i thought i should explain what had been going on & that she and i had been in a relationship for some 6 months and that i thought it was respectable albeit painfull for him to know this as IF they were together I did not want to be with his girl but he walked away and so I left only to receive an sms from her which simply said "goodbay" (aga if your reading this the correct spelling is>goodbye),it seems she does not want me and i only wanted her version as to why the trauma from why she moved and what was going on but it seems I will never know. :(

This has been my first relationship with a girl from a different country and to be honest I have missed out certain aspects of our brief relationship as I do not want to go into any personal details as you are reading this and you may be one of her family and so in respect i refrain from such details. But in short "I am so deeply hurt by this and as i pack for a trip which i am supposed to enjoy ,I leave with a very very heavy heart at losing a girl who meant the world to me and miss so much . I apologize if my topic is not a happy one but as an englishman I felt it was appropriate to place as my relationship wit a polish girl has given me much upset and worry and to be truthfull a doubt as to wether i would date again a girl from a different culture but sure not all are the same but scars are hard to fade when they cut to the bone.

Lastly aga" if you are reading this I am sorry we split and you will always remember you as the girl i loved so much but will miss you so very much and I try to understand that you fell out of love with me but I wish only happiness to you so take care angel. :/ jk

Love / Polish men vs German men: Who is hotter? [513]

hi my first post,and was curious to read this topic,albeit an englishman with a long liking for germany the country/culture & land & as an englishman I have found the language not so bad to pick up as I find the polish language pretty tricky as I do the cz language and my thoughts on the initial question re:who is better "I just dont know as I have and doubt I ever will or want to sleep with a man from either of these 2 countries,so the relevance to my post is just hi and your topic is interesting as an english male to read
