Difficult situation with moving (Australia-Poland)

Oh please... did you even read the bloody OP?

I don't quite see the relevance to your post and this thread about Australians assimilate in Europe. Although on that note, I will say that I consider the Australians a little like a cadburys cream egg, hard on the outside and soft in the inside, just my observation.


A business that fails is down to a ineffectual Board,Owner,Manager who lacked experience and knowledge. A President is voted by the people for a period of four years. Both of the aforementioned, should not be compared to marriage.

Supported how? financially?


Maybe now he don't need the support?

Your case is very strange. I don't think any Pole will do something so strange without any legitimate reason ... unless he just wanted your support (if you provided financially). Otherwise, it seems he is not interested in you (pardon me, but thats what it seems after I actually read your post thoroughly) :D... sorry though!

I don't mind that analogy... :) It's better than being thick all the way through...


And sometimes it's down to external forces... or corruption, greed, selfishness and mistrust...


And what a good idea it would be if vows had to be renewed every four years?


It's to verify that it has been done. It's not an unachievable feat. I mean being away from pierogi and ice capped winters *is* a possibility for most humans... (It's called getting over it.)

And btw, Poles aren't that tough. They're stubborn and frank, but they sometimes struggle to deal with the simplest of challenges... and cultural steadfastness is their biggest problem in this respect...

A good business man/woman should have the natural instinct to foresee such problems.


So there would be an opt out clause. I believe marriage is for life.


Stubborn- I agree with. Frank- I do not agree with, when put on the spot I have found Poles frugal with their openness.


I respect this quality in Poles.

Yes, and of course if you're all knowing then you probably wouldn't need the instinct in the first place...
Big companies can go down like flies overnight. We saw this happen just a few years ago...


Of course. But I have seen too many divorces to know that that is not the case. Of course I believe that everyone should be forgiven their sins... but not everyone has that capacity for forgiveness. You must be happy with your situation. Congratulations...


Curt is probably more the word. Lacking in tact sometimes...


Of course, but only if it marries well with the situation they are in... You can't take *everything* with you when you leave a place. And that includes Polish ketchup!

Agirlfromoz you guys are married – not dating! In my opinion you cannot just ‘divorce’ without fighting for your relationship first.

I think your guy might be scared of the permanence of this move. Why not move to Aus for a year or so and then re-assess the situation. If he feels this may not be a permanent thing he may be more willing to give it a try. And who knows, once he lives there for a while he may not want to move back to PL.
