Travel / Completely random views of Poland, a co! [80]

Really...LOL... Just determined I'm going to Poland...Coincidentally, love the 'thread'.I'm going stay with my father-in law-: love him dearly. He needs to come and be with his family. It's been a couple of years and he's a widow. He's been sending packages regulary (expensive)..i think he's realling missing us. We do too. Oxymoron, I'm sure...So randomly..So it is..Thanks, for the thread:))

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


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.

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.

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]


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]


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]


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..

Never give up on anyone. Encourage and treat others compassionately, The person is more inclined to not give up and better themselves. Hopefully, we never find ourselves at a disadvantage and others turn their backs on us.

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?

Do it! It's better to be happy and have self respect. Remember your happiness is the most important. Don't depend on someone else to make you happy.. Plus, your not moving forward with your life. Don't look back with regrets.

Life / Famous Polish people (that we have actually heard of) [224]

Marie Curie, is a fascinating Polish woman from Warsaw, Poland. Maria Sklodowska defied the conventions of a woman of her time. She studied Physics and Mathematics at the Sorbonne. Together with her husband made one of the greatest breakthroughs in 20th century science. In 1903, awarded the Nobel Prize for discovering Radium.

The challenge of research, the triumph of achievement and their profound love made it a thrilling pursuit and accomplishment.

I hope "your guy", isn't abusive to you. Sounds like you need to move on..A lot of venting, about abuse, nationalist (SOB), and catering to him. You can do a lot better. Why torture yourself..Be done! It's better to be happy.
