Love / Annoying sister-in-law of my Polish hubby [30]

my husband never showed me that behaviour. always i was everything for him

The relationship is normal. First, never swear to in-laws; hard to amend afterwards. Keep your composure. You are everything to him. Respect is important. This relationship with your sister-in-law is provoking you. Don't let it. Show your love to your family; especially your husband. When you lean in on hard times together anything is possible. It seems both of you are distancing yourselves from one another. Pressure. It's easy to walk away, but I suspect instead of four hours on line playing games and having a baby is like having a second child. Both enjoy your baby. Bottom line...you need time with each other.. Daunting feelings, but not worth the negativity. Put the baby down early to bed and enjoy each other. Talk. Make-up sex is always the best...Make him a priority. It'll be fun.

Love / My Polish Relationship Marriage ..story to be told. [USA/PL] [34]

The best times we had were in Poland visiting her family, when I stayed at her parents place for two months, and got to know her mother and father, grandmother and her two brothers. Stayed in Poland almost 8+ months all together over the years

And that's how it should have continued..We all believe in the fairy tale romance. The problem is we can never change another into this 'ideal'. It wasn't meant to be.

Love / My Polish Relationship Marriage ..story to be told. [USA/PL] [34]

. I'm sorry but I have to just see it for what it is, she is only in this for herself.

A married person doesn't do the things she has to you. As a couple you should work together to build a future together. There's no flying solo. Did the good out weigh the bad? You're still young with no children. Continue forward.

Love / My Polish Relationship Marriage ..story to be told. [USA/PL] [34]

It simply isn't a mutual loving relationship. Your love to her appears to not be reciprocated. By relaying all this on a Public forum you will receive hard answers to questions you've already answered. Once trust and dividedness has escalated to this point, don't languish over the past, but move on. Through the process, when times are painful remember how she made you feel. Ask yourself if this relationship makes you happy. Life is precious don't let another eight years go by.

USA, Canada / Do Poles feel America is going down the drain? [149]

how to create a healthy ecosystem that does not use unnecessary resources or harms the environment.

My home is 'Green'. I use no pesticides, chemicals and my yard is stellar green. It's actually easy and takes the same amount of time.

USA, Canada / Differences in How Polish People Raise a Child and How Americans Raise a Child [149]

Being an American, and viewing how most children are raised is a real eye opener. Tend to be uninvolved, thus, tv/video games as a sitter, fast food, and no structure. Polish stress family togetherness, guidelines which provide security, and meals are at home. Generalizations.., but that has been my experience. There should be a happy balance in routine, expectations, and discipline. I never raise my voice nor am I physical. I approach parenting with expecting mutual respect, patience and one needs a lot of humor.. It works. Now, my Polish husband only needs to speak and they jump. His normal voice is loud. I'm glad I have both. We come from similiar parenting and were both on the same page. As a result, happy, polite, love life and still being a kid.

Language / I need some encouragement from Polish language speakers! [30]

found that the best way to qucikly acquire the basics of practical speech is not to worry about declensions or conjugations but to try to pick up things the way a small child does -- in segments

Exactly. Sounds strange, but children's books, cartoons and basic words. I listen, listen, and listen. I then apply it to the context of the conversation. I find it easier to understand in person or watching subtitled movies than actual reading. I can make out the meaning, but still at segment level.

Polonius3 & strzyga. Both gave a great approach and overview.

Determination. It helps to need to understand. If it's a strong attribute in your life; it becomes a necessity.

Love / What to Get my Polish Guy for Valentines Day. [77]

we do things the natural way

Be careful and finish school! MG, has made a point. You have vented and his behavior has been questionable. All relationships are maintenance. Make sure you know what your willing and not willing to put up with. Eight months is still the honeymoon period. Oh, and guys really don't like big deals made on V-day. Love should be everyday. I like the weekend plan..

News / Freezing weather in Poland, 42 people dead in winter freeze... and no-one cares? [140]

Plus they usually have families that have not given up on them

The neighbors last week gave up on their brother. He use to work for my company, he lived next door to the family. A spiralling of a sequence of events left him homeless. He went to his family with the clothes on his back (lost everything that was in storage). His brother wouldn't even give him a pair of sox. Her parents were coming and they said he couldn't stay there.

I gave him a car and clothes. With a car he was able to drive to his friends house.

The family was so cruel. It broke my heart. They treated their dog better than him?

News / What Poland can't do right [113]

most women say these things about other women

Not me. If a woman is smart, attractive, etc., I don't have a problem with them. Why do I need to put them down?

That way, we know she's looking for something

What validation or praise for her own qualities? I don't fish for compliments.

..and guess what? It looks like you're doing it too!

And what pretell..might that be?

krystal, why do have such strong negativity towards Polish women? Are you confident with your self? If you were, I don't think you would have such insecurities...

Life / RUSSIAN WOMAN IN POLAND....welcome...or not...? [33]

Go for it! If your happy than move forward. If others aren't accepting that's their problem. You deserve to be happy. If you've found someone that's the least of your problems. Good for you and happy trails...

"Drink sobieski vodka, yippee ki yay mother ******"

That should be the endorsement <LOL>! Love that one liner. Belvedere is tops over Sobieski. Not sure the price difference?

Love / How to Make (Polish?) Women happy? [96]

Men with true fat wallets are humble and wouldn't attract gold diggers. If you do flash it, that type of woman will be a magnet.

Love / Polish girlfriend going back to Poland if I dont buy engagment ring [85]

First off, one doesn't threaten to leave a relationship over an engagement ring? Instead, at this point, decide whether the relationship is moving forward or not. Pure and simple. If you have questions or doubts that's a red flag. I think one knows if that person is the one. A man has to be head over heels in love with you. She really needs to make your life complete. You can't grow to love someone. It has to already be there.

UK, Ireland / Fish and chips - do Polish people in the UK like this? [108]

I think it comes down to availability of Cod. Polish way with cod: 1st soak in milk and lemon juice diffuses the smell of fish. That's the only difference I've seen. I have never seen so many variations on how to cook white fish of any kind. Traditional Christmas Holiday must have 13+ dishes.
