If the third time is the charm, will my ninth trip be exponentially better?

Big gap here!!  You are in Dnepropetrovsk and then groovistk reports he meets with you and a gal in Sevastopol.

Is there another section of your report somewhere?

I had almost zero experience in dating, as I married young the first time . . . much too young.

I made around 20 trips to FSU for business.
I looked at the gals, but didn't touch . . . maybe just a little.

Then I made 11 WMVM trips to FSU women hunting.
I had full first dates (not just tea and cake) with around 150 women.
This more than made up for my very sparse early dating experience as a teenager.
I was raped by several different women . . . some multiple times.
I tried to report these instances to authorities . . . but they just laughed at me.
These trips lasted a month each.
I was a self employed consultant, so could take any time off that I wanted.
And I had some minor consulting on each trip, so expenses were mostly covered.

Plus I took 6 FSU gals on 2-3 week vacation trips to Crimea, Turkey and Egypt.  Prices for all inclusive trips and stays were ridiculously cheap back then.

I never bought any fur coats, diamonds, gold, etc.
Quite a bit of moderately priced clothing items, hats, souvenir items, etc.

I still wasn't really ready to settle down; but my now wife arranged to come here on a student visa to get a masters degree, moved in with me . . . and we found we were quite compatible.

She continued on to get a PhD and now teaches mostly Multivariable Calculus and Differential Equations at a flagship University.

We argue and disagree more as the years pass, but this could be due to the high stress we went through in her degree programs, the terrorist Russian invasion, our completely renovating a second house (still not close to being finished) and doing some fix up on first house to ready it for sale.  Probably won't have it ready for sale until next spring . . . if even then !!

I would like for her to stop working . . . but she is not ready for that yet.
