Four Year Wonders Got Married: Ochka and ML

[olgac]

Interesting. Are You even married at all?
I am with my husband for 26.5 years. We have a child in college. For the last 10 years I have earned twice as much as him before we both retired (he is 9 years older)
Did I care he can't take care of me and my children? First of all he could on his salary, second I was making more than enough to take care
of me, several children and probably my parents too, except my parents are also in computer science, came here on
work visas and also made a lot of money.
Providing for me is not at all what I was looking for in a man, I had a good job even before I came to US (I was doing consulting for American companies) My husband was a developer himself in SF Bay Area and he knew he would most
probably double his salary in marriage. We also did a lot of rock climbing and backpacking together back then.
And there was and still is a lot of physical attraction

I sure hope the woman You end up marrying is not just looking for a provider

If my husband passes away before me and I decide to get re-married (highly unlikely) I will for sure plan for a divorce
and get a strong prenup before marrying since it's a smart thing to do.

But about my friend You are correct: my former coworkers who are her age normally married someone in 20s
However she is talking now to a Belorussian developer from Amazon from Bay Area so we will see 😊

olga, BeeFarmer is an American Incel, he has yet to have a serious relationship with a woman
however HE considers himself to be an expert on this subject and all other related subjects that he's read self-help books about
unfortunately, he has no awareness of how ridiculous he sounds, becuz he is socially isolated

I find him amusing and like to ridicule him, cuz I'm a mean bastard

Trench mentioned this  book (by Jens Muhling) several months ago and I bought it at that time.

Finally finished reading it . . . during my bathroom visits.

Can't say that I would recommend it to anyone.

It is just compilation of places he visited and random Ukrainians he encountered and talked with.

It was 'Civ' I believe that mentioned this book originally, I knew nothing of it until he mentioned it. I bought it too as I could get a new hardback copy of it cheap here for a few pounds. It's a reasonable thick book and I haven't had a chance to fully read it yet but thought as it's so cheap I would get it too as I am eager to get insights into Ukraine. It probably isn't all that but at the price I thought it cheap enough to browse over in my spare time if spare time ever occurs for me again lol.

The book I recommended was, 'Gates of Europe, A history of Ukraine' that I believe is a good enough read into the history of the Ukraine region and well worth getting and reading.

Yes, I posted my review of this book here back in September 2024.
I strongly recommended it.
