[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a troll!  Look at the time stamp when OP posts.  Bangladesh is 11 hours ahead of here.  So there is no way she would be posting here in the wee hours of the morning while in Bangladesh.[/quote]

Op here. Yes, I am a troll  :roll: here you are woken up by roosters and the call to prayer. I have been waking up at 4-5 am every day. Some nights I never slept because I slept too much in the daytime or I was lying awake hungry and had to wait until , 4-5 am to get up. We all sleep in the same bed (dh and 2 kids) surrounded by a mosquito net and we need to secure it under the mattress whenever we get up. I have never been to India but I have been told it's more modern than Bangladesh. In Dhaka, the traffic is so crazy. There aren't crosswalks. You have cars coming at you while you're trying to get across the street. [/quote]
So don’t go or learn to deal with it. You married a man from a third world country. That’s how it is.[/quote]

Her DH goes back home to visit and acts as if he lives near the poverty line back home in the US. Read her posts (and some here from others with spouses from underdeveloped countries). Pretending they don't live like they live back here in the US, because the sons fear their families back home will consider them wealthy when they just have normal American mortgages. Telling OP that they will take the kids shopping for clothes in the home country then saying no, probably because he fears being seen buying stuff for his kids. Not wanting anyone in the family back home to think the expat son has money; not caring if his DW and kids get sick, etc. Jerk behaviors born out of fear he'll insult, upset or get money requests from relatives back home. OP needs to tell him, no more month-long trips. He goes solo if he wants to go that long. It sounds like he twists himself into a pretzel in order to appear like he lives in the US just like they live there. I am NOT saying he should flaunt what likely is comparable wealth, but he seems to be the problem, insisting on a month-long stay when he should know it's made his wife and kids ill in the past. [/quote]
Looks like the husband is a cheapskate. He’s not fooling his relatives, they know if an American woman agreed to marry him he has to be earning decent money. Even the laborers who return from the Middle East splash their cash around. He’s just making excuses to the OP. [/quote]
