Love / Fell in love; I need to go back to Poland for 2 months - what to say at work (UK) [50]

You say you both have some doubts...what are his doubts if he hasn't anything to give up? I definitely think you both need more time, as time will tell whether any of this feels like a sacrifice. It will either fizzle out or will grow deeper and stronger as the months go by. Why not set a date six months or more in the future? My husband and I took the time until we could even meet for the first time to get to know one another with letters, phone calls and emails (almost a year). By the time we finally met, it wasn't as much a sacrifice for him to leave it all behind. Even with all that time, and three months together to get to know each other, an additional four months that he had to return to finalize a few monetary obligations, we still ended up having a few problems in the beginning of our marriage. The one thing that always held us through was our mutual respect and love for each other (soppy gooey love stuff)

So if six months down the road you still worry about your "sacrifice", then you just aren't ready. You should NOT sacrifice your integrity concerning your job! Good luck Danka100!

Genealogy / Americans of Polish descent. How many of us are on Polish forums? [216]

This is just a fly by hello as I am starting my work day. I am married to a man of Polish descent. He was born of parents who emigrated to Australia in 1977 and he was born 3 months later. He grew up in a Polish Community in Australia and went to Polish School after private school and on weekends went to Polish heritage classes. We met on the internet 11 years ago and he moved to the U.S. We've been married 10 years now. His polish is getting rustier every year from not using it as there are NO Polish communities where we live. His maternal grandfather still lives in Poland, but his mother's only sister moved to Chicago 15 years ago. His entire paternal family moved to Australia in the late 70's to early 80's. I would love to visit Poland and am even thinking of talking to him about moving to Poland, although I'd need to get a Polish Rosetta Stone as I only know the "infant" words that we use around the house. So, hello!
