The only thing I find wrong with this post is the fact that you said the F word towards your husband. Now, I think it's fine to curse at your spouse at times, I mean I know I will probably deserve it at times, but never the F word. I find that to be one of the most disrespectful words you could ever use at someone.
And yes I would let you know immediately about that. Not physically, but there would be an argumentative tone. The washing of the clothes not so much, I don't expect my spouse to do my laundry.
Are you molting...the inner soft one is surfacing.

Well, this makes the point of why so many American men prefer women from other countries. Not the refusal to do laundry, but the abrasive, unfeminine attitude and complete disrespect.

Right, because she speaks like that to her husband we all do.

In most other developed societies, people live together for years, unmarried , no children and they are perfectly fine with it.
One problem with our society is this puritanism, false moralism, sexual repression and how much religion still influences people's ideas and behavior.
I hate religion with a passion, so, I find it really hard to relate to the way the average American woman thinks, marriage and kids? NO THANKS!
It's not like that in the coastal cities and states of the US. California, Portland, Seattle, NYC, etc are just like what you've experienced in Europe. Little interest in long term relationships. I think it may be a big city vs small town thing all around the world.

No, it's a very "broad" generalization, so to speak .... heh .......... but to have any discussion at all we need to generalize.
I haven't even had any relationships where the woman was mannish, not even the ex (except in the final few brief fights). But as a writer I've been a close observer of many relationships in friends and relatives and just people passing by, and particularly notice the difference in women from when I was young to the current time.
It's not ALL bad, looking back it was ridiculous to deny women a chance at many traditionally male careers IF that's what they truly wanted (now they feel pressured to get such jobs even if they'd rather stay at home and raise kids). But generally speaking, in a few short decades women became increasingly mannish (in a very general sense with many, many exceptions). It became socially acceptable to be dominant, rude, sour, dykey (in the literal as well as figurative sense), etc. and to consider relationships as disposable. "You go, girl!"
Just to say though, lots of guys do like such feisty women, girls they can scrap with a bit. I don't, just my personal preference, and I guess I must have that in common with the guys who look overseas or south of the border for mates.
I've observed women from other countries in relationships with American men. I'd say that - again on average - they definitely act more feminine. In California there are plenty of opportunities to watch Mexican women, and it's plain to see how the first generation ones are much sweeter than the second generation or Chicano women. In my family, we used to get visits from relatives in Switzerland, and they were similarly sweeter than American women - and more than once I would hear them talking about their puzzlement at American behavior. "We Swiss women like serving our men!" I overheard once - I think that was in reference to serving meals or handing them a bottle of beer, not that they were completely slavish.

As far as women initiating divorce, it's simply because men are much more content to stay in a marriage where the connection is gone, be it due to abuse, adultery, or addiction. It use to be that women had to stay and tolerate abuse or whatever...that is no longer true today. Quite simply, if you leave the filing up to a man, it will never get done.

That goes for the entire Scandinavian area. Only problem is they're so liberated and into feminism that mothers dress their sons in pink clothes and dresses. No, I'm not making that up either.
Pink was also for boys here, not too long ago.
It's only a color and what is considered normal will change.

This I don't understand. Are all you guys dating uneducated, ****-poor women or something?
So many guys seem to complain that women have too many requirements, but obviously they should get some of their own, and then they won't end up being taken to cleaners.
I didn't read through this entire thread - I don't have time anymore! But I will say this - I think all these divorce rate things are crap. They all say something different. Who cares? The best way to avoid divorce is to make sure you are marrying the right person for the right reasons. I'm not saying this is going to guarantee a successful marriage - but it will definitely help. The thing is - there are no guarantees in life about anything - except that we are all going to die someday. Be smart - but living in constant fear or being so paranoid about something that you look for excuses to avoid it is no way to live.
If you believe that American women are so awful then what does that say about American men?
Most oppressed in the western world. Women everywhere know that they have had any vestige of chauvinism beaten out of them. Women elsewhere really appreciate that.
