Is your spouse from another country?

KenSwee

Just wondering if many people are married to a person from a country other than their own?

Also, did you get married here, in your spouse's country or somewhere else?

My wife is from Poland. Married 4 years and had the ceremony in Poland.

Another country?

The way she talks half the time, I swear she's from another planet.

Mines from Taiwan.


She looks European, but the label on the back of her neck says Taiwan.

When I first saw the title of this thread, I thought to myself "RACIST" "day turk er jabs", then I saw your OP.

I'm single, but I'd love something Mediterranean.

dj jarvis

my " wife " is from Finland - nearly 10 years now - we hooked up on her hen night :eek:

i call her my " wife " but we are not married because marriage is for suckers with no imagination - and she has a habit of leaving husbands to be on her hen night

seriously kids don't get married - its for suckers

Always wondered about that, I see people with ladies from afar. Most dont have a great understanding of English (not saying your GF doesnt). They can get by but meaningful deep conversation cant rally be had. Add to that cultural differences and it must be extremely difficult to really get to know them.

Met her in Ireland when she was studying in France, her English is fluent but things like how to address and resolve problems, what should be respected (by me) and what should be tolerated (by her), and of course a lot more face time with the family than I'd like.

Now we are as thick as thieves together but it really took at least two years. One with her living here and one with me living there.

Gleisweiler

My wife is Spanish, my son is British and I'm Irish, although I've lived in the UK for over 53 years where we met. Been married for 47 years. The family joke with my son is that he is half Spanish and half Irish, which makes him Spirish :-) BTW we also have Swiss, French, Polish, German, Scottish, Ukraine and lots of Spanish in our extended family. A real UN group, in fact.

Fey!

Mrs Fey! is Polish. We met here 6 1/2 years ago, and got married over there last year. Great country.

Nothing as remote as that,worked for an NGO but was based in Vientiane and Luang Prabang at different times.
Knew a few lads working the mines,mainly Ozzies a couple of French and Ameticans.
There are a couple Irish living in Vientiane but not many.

Gloomtastic!

Wife English, we met at work over there. Got married here - easier to get her 4 relatives here than my 100-odd there. Two kids - one British, one Irish (who's going to be mighty p1ssed that his big sister won't have to do Irish in secondary school!)

Not married, but my boyfriend is from Greece. Living in Ireland for years, though.

My wife's a northsider and that's fairly foreign around here.

Come to think of it, my ex-wife was a northsider, too.

Since when do Irish women ever have "meaningful deep conversation"? Can you have a "meaningful deep conversation" about make-up and x-factor and other mindless junk which the forbidden group have plagued their heads with?

dark crystal

My fiance is English (half-Italian).

Indian women are some of the most respectable and non-contaminated women in the world. When I get married I want it to be with a woman as polarized from Irish women as possible, and Indian or East Asian just might be that.

Going by your posts here, any woman would consider you quite the catch.

East-Asian. hopefully.. Tough cookie. real lithe, bona-fide natural survivor. Long-limbed, due to archery skills passed down seems so evolved, due to not having actually evolved?! At this 1st world rate of stuff taking care of itself, from food preperation to music making we'll all be reduced to limbless lumps.
She has this amazing skin too. Ah I dunno just.. radiates sex appeal
