Sorry, British humour

HA. That gave me a good chuckle. Thanks for the laugh! :up

Been married for almost 5 years

Got married when I was 26, she was 22.

We already have 3 kids (Victor at 4 years old, Monica at almost 3 years old and Andrea at 15 months old....) Wait, this doesn`t finish here, as we are already expecting baby #4.....

I met my wife Erica in a business trip to the USA (your typical blonde anglo babe) After I started the courtship, she only lasted 5 months as my girlfriend..... then we took the plunge!

The new generation always help me to wash and polish, and in one case they even helped me to get an excuse to remove scratches, as Monica took a brush to wash the minivan`s hood...... I only laughed as it was my fault to let her help me. :nixweiss

We have been quite happy, and as everyone else, there are times when you don`t understand each other, a situation that gets exacerbated when the persons belong to different cultures. But I would do it again no question!

Alex-since you have one of our women, send me one of yours! I`ve dated a couple of women of Mexican decent and sure wouldn`t mind dating another.

I have been married for almost 15 years. We have two boys 10 and 6. The boys love to help me do anything around the house whether its detailing the car or cutting the lawn.

I`m 25 and sorta single.... Well, I`m dating my future wife, and we own a house together, and I have the engagement ring sitting on my desk staring at me, I just haven`t figured out how to give it to her yet....

So what does that count as??

Procrastination?

Good for you, Alex!!:up

My wife is Japanese, and there are sometimes problems or misunderstandings due to "cultural differences", but everything works out in the end; now that we have our first child, patience and a flexible attitude are key!

I`ll send you a few

Now, if it is not very private, why did you stop seeing them?

I agree. Be patient and flexible! Glad to hear there are more couples in similar situations. :xyxthumbs
