[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No I wouldn't sorry. I love knowing that DH has the same cultural traditions as me, in laws speak English and are nearby, and that DH and I grew up similarly. And [b]while I don't always agree with America 100%, it hurts when I hear foreigners bash America and Americans.[/b] [/quote]

This is what I find intolerable about some foreigners who just got on a plane and flew over here to the U.S. They can become quite angry when their wants and needs are not met based on their unrealistic expectations. I also find that some foreigners are deeply rooted in more of a socialist political mindset. In other words, they think everything in the U.S. is free. And they have no concept of how long it took some Americans to achieve a standard of living. Or they call American problems "first world problems." Well, this is a first world country.

The same things happens with many American men and women in my country.  They come over here thinking we look just like Americans; most of us speak some or good English; there have been many people from this country who have immigrated to the US; it is a democracy and has a far better human rights reputation than America over many years, and besides I am in love with (or her).  And then the reality of deep cultural differences starts to sink in, along with the fact that they can't find a job and their partner acts so differently than Americans;  they start to openly criticize the country they hardly understand and can not seem to fit into, and then they leave.

And exactly the same thing happens with many people from my country when they go to America, just as you say.[/quote]
