Divorced and so grateful

[BrightFuture]

Hi Betsy,

My turn to apologize… I think I over-reacted. This is the lesson I still need to lean, how not to take things personally. I’m guilty of stereotyping people too sometimes. I get that. I try to avoid stereotyping though, and especially in my sitch where my H tried to have an affair with Mexican girl and she went to for it, even though she was a cousin of our best friend in Mexico.
I’m also no fan of some of the stuff that I see in Russian community. I’m not that connected to it anyway. And I try to avoid some people too. But I also know some good people. I used to live in Denver BTW, and one of my GFs still lives there. Denver has one of the largest Russian community. Like I said I never was part of it, as my H is an American. And I agree with you… there are some Ponzi schemes going on, that’s for sure. And they do know how to navigate the system. Getting stuff done is one thing, abusing the system is another… I know people in Russian community who don’t want to work because they just can use the system to make the living. It angers me. It means that they are living at my expense, because I pay a lot of tax as high earner. I’m also no fan of Russian women who, like RT in Linda’s sitch walk over families and other women’s lives to get what they want. For RT it is an American husband and what she thinks is a better life for her.

But… I’m not one of these people. I get things done too, but in a legal way, LOL. And I was not using my H for anything. I guess this is this one thing that I’m still trying to “prove to the world”, because of the stereotyping. People automatically assume things… until they learn the whole story about me. So, I’m sorry about the over-reacting to your post. Linda, and I’m sorry for high jacking your post.

Oh, and I have absolutely nothing on Irish/Scottish folks… A have a few good friends who are Irish and Scottish. My best friend in Mexico (mutual friends with H) is Irish. Also, I have nothing to say about drunks, LOL… this is the one thing that Russians have in common with Irish and Scottish.

Betsy, if I come to Denver, I will look you up… You can buy me a drink… And I buy one for you… Good Irish/Scottish/Russian tradition, hahaha! No need for the wet noodle though… Cheers back at you!
