Is your girl from a different country than you?

[Galactic]

Just wondering how many of you are in, or have been in, a similar situation that I am in right now. My girl is from Ukraine......I am a red fucking blooded American, and damn proud of it. However, when the comment "I wonder how much the cultural differences will affect us?" first entered the relationship, I thought little of it.....now, after nearly a year, the gravity of said comment has really begun to hit home.

Not to say that it hasn't had some of the finest moments I have ever known; it has. Tonight we walked along a river bank and watched the sun set behind the spring laden trees, while the fish leaped and ate......it was a scene straight out of a southern novel......but there are times when I look at her and scratch my head.......sometimes, I wonder if it would be easier to just date an American girl, but I can't do that, because they are some of the stupidest creatures to breathe the very air I do......well, that's been my experience anyway.

So......share the tales......or tails, as it were......anyone else sign up for the long haul with someone who does not hail from your home country? What did you think? Did it work? Was it all puppy dog tails and ice cream? Would you do it again? Are you still in it?

Discuss.
