hi everyone,
my husband has some magazines that are really upsetting me. a few months ago our friend went home to poland. while she was there she visited with my husband's parents and brought a few things back from them. the gifts for my husband included a stack of magazines, three of which were 'GT'. i looked thru the magazines to find tons of pictures of naked women on cars. i was a little upset that my husband's mother would send her married son these magazines, but what could i say since my husband didn't buy them.
last week, a brand new 'CKM' appeared in our bedroom. this magazine is filled with pornography, and I find it quite offensive. i'm guessing he got it at the polish deli. i can't read any of it because i can't understand polish, but there is actually a photo of a naked woman having sex with a plant!
i'm very upset because my husband didn't seem like the pornography seeking type. he seemed like a good church going guy. i've made alot of sacrifices to be with someone from another culture (and to sponsor him here in the US) because i believed in my heart that he was a good person. i'm just very disappointed to discover that he seems to be different that i thought.
i guess my question is, what is up with these magazines? are these magazines normal in poland? in the US, typically a married man's mother would not send him a magazine with pictures of naked women in it! that would be considered totally inappropriate. and most church going married men would not buy porno and leave it on their bedroom dresser for their wife to find.
can anyone tell me more about these magazines? what they are about/ who the audience is in poland? what magazines might be comparable here in the US?
thanks for any help! i thought at first i could ignore them, but i'm finding myself really starting to resent the magazines and him.
