It works like this: I cook, you wash the dishes. I do the laundry, you do the shopping. I give birth, you take the kids to school and extra curricular activities...
My lady friend's husband cheated on her. She found out and she got in contact with the mistress. Her husband had told a horror story to his mistress, namely his wife had cancer and that's why he couldn't divorce her.
Well, my friend and her husband got a divorce. She met someone else and she got pregnant. She didn't tell this to the guy cause she knew she couln't have a commited relaton with him. So she told this guy bye, bye, he doesn't know he has a kid.
But some months later, my friend got back together with her ex-husband, he loved her, she loved him... He decided that the unborn kid would be his as well. He raises the kid as his own, the kid is now 6 years old.
The tragedy is that my lady friend discovered last year she had Hodgkin lymphoma... She is in remission now.
As long as you have your own revenues, you may discover that it is a very good place. I only visited Bulgaria and spent some holidays on their seaside resorts. However I lived 30 years in a neighbourhood country, so still Eastern Europe, even though latin alphabet. People are very friendly and warm, family ties are very important, friendships are highly esteemed. As for climate... well, I loved it. Summers were ssummers, with peaks of 40, winters were winters, with snow aand below 0. Springs are wonderful, not too rainy, 20-25 degrees... :)
It's true that if you expect to live off your salary as an English teacher life turns out to be a misery, teachers can hardly pay their bills. But English is highly sought after, so with private classes you can earn a little bit more.
You will not see drug addicts, though you may see more beggars who are harmeless, even though stressing. In my home country in Eastern Europe, I was never agressed or attacked. There are petty crimes and thieves, the kind that steal your wallet from your purse in the bus. However, it is rare to hear of agressive thieves.
Break a leg, whatever you doo or you decded to do.
The same. I come from a monocultural family. But now I live I think in the most multilingual city. I counted once and I heard 7 different languages on my way to work, that is in 30 minutes.
I just opened this mail from a total unkown guy. :)) "Nice to meet you, you're lovely ,I am sorry don't be offended because of my race. I would like to ask you with all due respect to become my Wife. You will be my Queen and I will bless your Life with good service.
I will be grateful to hear from my Beautiful lady in the whole wide world. Thank you. "
RE: your ex!!
It may be a good idea, if there's a child. But after love you, hate you stories, hard to be friends.
