Why is her age or her being foreign even an issue? This could happen with a woman from anywhere.
But the fact is that she's not a woman from "anywhere", or from the US. So given the facts, people have to look at all the possibilities. It seems that you see her as more or less American, because she has US citizenship, has travelled here a lot, and has a good job. That's great. I can see why you thought she was mature, to have all that at 22, or however old she was when you met her. But given the fact that her behavior changed pretty radically after you two set up housekeeping Stateside, it's not unreasonable for people to speculate that she had ulterior motives. Maybe she didn't, maybe she did. Also, any 22-year-old, "even" an American one, could have ulterior motives when marrying a guy old enough to be her father.
As long as we're pulling relevant facts out of you like teeth, it would be helpful to know how long you two have been married, and how long of a courtship or dateship you had prior to that.
No I wouldn't care. Why do you ask if this is my first relationship? How is that relevant?
Because this is a very typical relationship problem. It shouldn't be a surprise to you at 40, if you've had experience with trying to live with anyone.
She's bored with you and wants out. What is it with middle-aged men marrying young foreign women and then being surprised that the relationship soon goes sour?
The only thing in this whole thread that elicited a reaction was the concept that you could be taken to the cleaners?
You need to do a better job with the housework old man.

Well, no. She was amazingly easygoing and mature, you said. You commented on how remarkable she is. Your issue is with THIS woman, your wife. If you're done with her, just be done. You haven't been married very long, she's still young, and she has an income. Maybe you just made a mistake and assumed too much about this remarkable woman.

No, ulterior motives is very unlikely. The possibility that makes the most sense to me is that perhaps she has been negatively influenced by the culture here. We dated for a year and we've been married for just over a year, and we've been here for 7 months.

If youve actually sustained long-term relationships, you should be experienced in managing communication problems. Assuming you care about and love your wife, you SHOULD be motivated to get to the bottom of this rather than pounding your chest and threatening divorce.
Behind every nagging women is a man not doing what he's supposed to do.
I love you.
