Love / Should I follow her? I met a beautiful Polish woman who has been working in the UK [62]
Ok OP,
I'm a Brit living in very rural Poland (Southern Poland in the mountains). I met a Polish Woman, we got married and we have 3 kids. Her father died and then the bombshell hit......We were basically made to move to Poland to look after mother in law and house.
Things were great in Ireland (Where we were living when we met), then when we moved to Poland over 3 years ago she changed so much.
All of a sudden she became extremely religious, acquiring all these new rules and traditions that I'd never seen before from her.
Our marriage hit rock bottom.
I found it very hard to get on with anybody for the first 6 months, then after a year I wanted out.
Luckily I found work by accident and I have become very successful, mainly because I live in a very rural area of Poland (Beskidi mountains). I now speak quite good Polish and have made many friends.
Life in Poland is extremely hard, in all aspects. This winter is extremely tough going, Money soon goes and my marriage is no where near perfect.
But, There are a lot of positives.....The people, the summer weather, the culture, the countryside, the food, school education and lots more.
So if you do make a move, Life will be very tough to start and it will not be a bed of roses. Ride the storm out and you'll do Ok.
Also my savings have dwindled as we had to do so much work on the house when we moved over (We still have a lot to do as well), but saying that if you have some savings, don't tell your woman how much you have and play it cool. Savings go a long long way here.
I live in a superb place in a very large house with an awful amount of land, the kind of place you dream of.
So after 3.5 years i am very happy here.
Oh on the note about wages, I remember getting my first weeks pay here and I was so depressed, it was the same as a days pay in Ireland, but ive worked hard and now earn very good money, you soon adjust to the changes in income.
