My Polish wife doesn't want to move to the UK with me - what to do? [96]
Hi,
Thank you for your much informed opinions. I would say in terms of my relationship with my wife I have compromised 90-95% in terms of sacrifices. Not the other way around.
Agreed we didnt discuss a lot of issues prior to the wedding, but you can never plan so furiously as life wouldnt have any excitement, or twists and turns.
But I think the most difficult thing for me is the cultural thing, I just dont feel I have much in common with the average polish person at all. Even when you skim over the language difficulties, our visions of the world are very different. I am very entrepreneurial in vision, but I just dont see that here at all. Methinks due to the communist past.
Then, like I expressed before are the other reasons to move.
On the financial aspects of life, for my wife, I dont see the point of her killing herself in a dead-end job in Poland for 2000zl a month, when the employment alternatives in the UK are a lot better.
I agree baby steps are the way forward. She has never lived outside poland before, but has visited other countries on holdiays with me. I think we'll just have to thrash out the pros and cons and see what is the result.
