Wifely Behaviors and Peculiarities

[ECOCKS]

Does your wife meet a new (to her) friend of yours and immediately run through her list of avaliable friends back home?

Does she ever mention to you, "Sweetheart, if you ever meet a man who would be good for Lyuda/Tanya/Sveta/Olla/etc. let me know."

When you went to your HS reunioin and you found out your old teammate isa now divorced and miserable did she speculate about whether you might should suggest he go to Kyiv and meet _______ ?

Mine does. Not every minute but it comes up once a week or so.

I'm not married so I didn't vote.

Is it possible look at the poll results without voting?

Bill

Nobody answered so I went with she mentioned it.
Because I wanted to see the pole results
So disregard one vote.

If you have a relationship you might have seen this phenomenon as well.  I suspect this comes up as soon as your gal decides she can trust your judgement to begin screening for her friends.

Does she ever mention to you, "Sweetheart, if you ever meet a man who would be good for Lyuda/Tanya/Sveta/Olla/etc. let me know."

No, nothing like this ECOCKS, BUT....She has mentioned in passing a few times that a single friend or acquaintance of mine might be a good man for {insert name}....(one of her friends back home in Omsk). 

She has never acted on anything (that I know of). 

I don't think my beautiful wife is the "cupid" type, but then again, after 4 years she still surprises me.

They always seem to be trying to think how to help their friends (although mine has never asked for money for a friend, only thinking about how to help them). Seems like we know a lot of divorced and widowed single moms and a couple of babushkas struggling with grandchildren after the deaths of the parents.

She has been here over 5 years now, and never has this happened.  (Well, she has one friend back home, and suggested we help her find a nice AM, but then realized the difficulty in it.)

We did, however, match up a RW/AM here.  The best man at my wedding and my wife's maid of honor (a RW she met in her ESL class) ended up marrying each other.  Two+ years now for them, and a 1 y.o. son...

This happens often...  but not just with RW and AM.  She's a born natural matchmaker and romantic and seems to frequently spend her time thinking about how sad it is when a person (man over 30 - woman over 28) is not married.

It's not like she wants EVERYONE married... she'll decide on their character first - and then the hinting starts.

I have some friends she has said she would NOT introduce to her gf's...  but then again she has one gf she said she'd NEVER introduce to a man.

She has some friends she says would be good matches for some of my friends.. others appear not to be a good match at all (according to her).

My nephew is coming to RU and UKR on our next trip (bit of a family trip) and she is already sneakily arranging parties and dinners where he won't be able to avoid meeting her friends.  I've told her if he thinks she's arranging something he'll cancel his trip (very anti relationship at the moment - or so he says) so she's being more crafty about it.

I think my wife's a born romantic and feels real angst whenever she sees ANYONE (male or female, RU or Australian) who is single when she feels they should be married.

Most of the time I just say "yes dear" and it all dies down.  I know it'll come up again and again in future though - God bless her little heart.

in 5 years ,no..

she may try and fix one of my friends up with some girlfriend of hers *here locally *  that may be either american , polish,  russian,or whatever nationality (chicagos pretty diverse)

but never tried to matchmake across the ocean,
 or even suggest it.

*shrugs*

[Diplomacy]

LOL, I got setup by her friend.  I will never repeat the rundown I was given on my fiance, but only a fool would not have gone to see her.

To Natasha's credit, she did not oversell anything.  Left out some points about pride and stubbornness.  I am sure she just forgot to tell me, or she expected me to know that part already.  Since her husband explained what life is "truly" like with Natasha.

To his credit, he talked about the good, bad, and indifferent.  I believe the closing statement like this. "Well life is never boring with Natasha, the one thing I know about you Carl.  You are never boring, you will be fine. You might want to sleep as much as you can, before you go there to see her. If you decide there is chemistry, then get as much sleep you can after that. Sleep is one are I am short on, in this marriage."
