該不該回國,該不該離婚?

(2009-03-23 10:51:30) 下一個
我給名為“該不該回國”網友的帖子

(1)男人其實都不喜歡離婚。
如果可以,誰不想象皇帝那樣,搞個後宮三千,離什麽離?多累啊。喜歡誰就寵誰,多去她那小館,不喜歡就讓她在冷宮裏吃齋念佛,自生自滅。
“紅旗不倒,彩旗飄飄”是現代精英簡化版本的“帝王”理想。

(2)男人為什麽才會離婚?
情人逼婚,他玩兒火玩兒大了,被套牢了。國內的女孩子要是“上”,那就是有目的的。否則放著同齡帥哥兒不理,誰跟你個黃臉衰男羅嗦。
“該不該”的老公喜歡國內那一套,他在美國有很好的工作和新房子,他還真是放下了“高薪,洋房”哭著喊著回國的。而他在國內最喜歡的又是什麽呢?是“喝酒交朋友玩”,這就對了。這種年齡的男人一塊出去還能玩出什麽別的名堂?沒人捧著哪裏來人上人的感覺?
男人想離婚還有可能是老婆太厲害太沒趣兒,麵目可憎,讓他生不如死了。有些中年婦女特羅嗦平庸,除了孩子工作一點別的興趣都沒有,我跟她們在一起10分鍾不到都煩得逃跑。

(3)離婚的壞處

那人要是沒良心躲在國內,下堂妻帶著孩子可是一分錢也收不到了。
鑒於這個前提,要是他很想離,“該不該”就得對他狠一點,能多爭取的利益都別鬆口。

(4)離婚的好處
舊的不去,新的不來。

總之,“該不該”要有破釜沉舟的決心,回去就趕快回,不要考慮那麽多瓶瓶罐罐,別耗著;要留就死心踏地地留下,那邊天塌下來,也別讓他壞了心情,以不變對萬變。

“該不該回國”網友的原帖:


   
我在大概一年前發過帖子,請各位網絡朋友了解我們的現狀,幫幫我出出主義。他已經回國一年半了。現在又到了我們作決定的時候了。

我們在美十年,兒子一年級,女兒今年9月上kingdgarden.老公在我的堅決反對下還是回國。我在一個大學工作, 做著雞肋一樣的工作,收入一般。看樣子老公2-3年是不會回美國了。他現在每年可以回美國4次。兒女很喜歡美國。兒子現在鋼琴,遊泳,滑冰都挺好。每天可高興。我現在拿不定主義,今年年暑假後,全家都回中國,還是維持現狀?維持現狀的話,我很辛苦,心裏和身體都很疲憊,如果都回去的話,怕對小孩有影響。即使回去,我也計劃回去3-4年,等小孩小學畢業後,回美國上初中,畢竟他們要在美國讀大學。就擔心這樣換環境,對小孩有影響。請朋友們給我建議!!!!!多謝!

我家情況是我先生極力回國,在我的再三阻攔下仍然回去了,扔下我們母女三人在美國。小的5歲,大的7歲。我全職工作10years,種種原因,現在搞的我焦頭爛額,非常影響我們的感情。我現在都非常恨他。恨他的不負責任。我在美國申請公民,公民馬上就下來。問題是現在我是身心疲憊,我害怕耽誤兩個小孩的前途。是跟他離婚還能怎麽辦? 我都不知道怎麽辦好。請各位兄弟姐妹幫我出出主意。

我們前幾天通話時他透露出孩子還是在美國好,他2-3個月回來一次。暑假我和孩子回國,這樣我們全年在一起的時間也有5個月。還說我們回去的話,他要分心,不能更全心投入到他的事業中。但我不同意。他說你不同意就算了。其實他回去半年了,在這半年前,他都買好機票要回去看看,在機票前一天晚上我對他說,如果你回去,丟掉現在這麽好的工作,我沒法和你過了。他就沒回去,機票作廢。第二天,自己一人在家痛哭,覺得自己的事業,前程被我和孩子困住,心裏很不甘心,想回國創一番大事的野心成了泡影。後來在朋友的勸說下(我們所有的朋友都說他不應該回),他也想開了。但國內的人又和他聯係上,說讓他回去看看,如果不喜歡就回來,這樣我暑假前腳回國,他後腳也回去了,回去之後他就不想回來了,在國內又和我商量,我還是堅決反對, 包括我的家人。但他家人整天想他回去,都想粘他的光。但他主意已定,自己說,舍不得孩子套不住狼,這樣他就把我們舍掉,回去自己創去了。我們結婚整十一年,頭5年他讀書,我工作(我是國內的博士,來美國就工作),我辦綠卡等,他一切事情都聽我的,但最近3,4年,他工作後,和我的意見分歧的比較多,我們兩地分居,周末我帶孩子到他那裏(我們在他工作地買了房子,想我以後要到他那裏的)。對他回國這件事,我心裏始終不同意,其實已經嚴重影響了我對他的感情。我想即使我們全家都回去後,遇到不開心的事情,我都要怪到他的頭上。其實我心裏最擔心的是3-4年後,他還是不想回美國的話,我拿他是一點辦法都沒有的。那時我年紀也大了,回美也不好找工作,我實在是怕耽誤孩子的身心和前程。我真是很矛盾。唉!遇到這樣的老公。。。

very appreciate for XDJM's idea. Right now my husband think at his age (39 year), it is the only chance that he can get to develep his career. He has a decent job in America, but he doesn't like. He likes social, drink alcohol, make more friends, don't like america's boring life, and just as a senior engineer. So he decided to "xi sheng" short family's life to gain his longer happy life. And ask me to stay in america for one year to get citizen for after 5 years, we will back to america, let my kids go to middle school. You know it is hard for me to take care of 2 kids with full time job. I didn't expect it is so difficult. In america, we live apart around 70 miles, and I take care of 2 kids, and we bought a house nearby his job because I think I will move within one year, and every weekend I will take my 2 kids driving to our house. He doesn't like and always angry to me that I don't move. right now, he went away. I always ask him what is your happy life? kids without father? wife without husband? and recently I met a lot of trouble: car, personl, job, kids's day care... all these trouble made me crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like live america and my kids like too. He doesn't like USA when he come. He came to usa for his phD, just earn money in recent 4 years, and I work here since I came, and easily and quickly to get GC.We also have a new big house. if we moved back to china, we will sell our new furnitures and whole staff in house which is just 2 years old. will lose a lot of money. That is what I don't like.and feeling is not good, but if don't move, it is hard for me...............that's why I I need your suggestion. Thank you guys again!!!!!

中國人該不該把駱家輝當成自家人 文章來源: 歐聯時報 於 2009-03-28

這個標題對駱家輝是不公平的!
"中國人該不該把駱家輝當成自家人?"的措詞有大問題!
1) 駱是現任美國的一個部長,當然要盡忠職守.
2) 因為奧巴馬是黑人,駱家輝才有機會上去,他的心中可能想到"我們做的會比你們老白好!"
3) 駱家輝在成長的過程中,受了不少歧視,現在算爭了口氣.即使幾年前還有人給他恐嚇信...
4) 駱家輝部長是為很有中華民族感的人,他在競選州長時就大聲地說"有華人血統的驕傲!"
這與其他的華裔政客們都畏畏縮縮的盡量與"華"分開,是大不相同地!
5) 駱家輝是自家人? 當然是! 他像是中國嫁出去的閨女,希望中國人不要幻想"她"是專門
拿東西回娘家的"內賊".
6) 通過駱家輝或許可以使美國改善對中國的關係和印象,美國國內有這麽多反中的昏人,
絕非奧巴馬和駱家輝所能完全左右的!
7) 看看這些英國種的,猶太種的美國有權有勢有財人物,他們對英國,對以色列太多方便了!
8) 希望中國人不要幻想!不著實際地幻想是危險的!
9) 駱家輝的路途是艱巨的,壓力各方來,但他是明事理的,我們必須支持他!!!
simply_leaf 回複 悄悄話 女人這麽說:“看這裏論壇,一說到回國,就想成是洪水猛獸,老公回去就一定是羊入虎口或者狼入羊群。但怎麽我身邊就沒有這樣的呢?無論是回去的還是本來就在國內但混也不錯的,夫妻兩都挺好的啊。不但如此,有兩個還是愛妻牌男人。提出我的疑問,這裏有人說,你那是隻看到表麵,你怎麽不知道他們那是貌合神離在演戲?我在網上看完那些被傳了一手或幾手的故事,那些老婆的擔心害怕,感覺真是暗無天日啊,這婚結的有什麽意思啊。但一想不對啊。現實中,我身邊都是不錯的夫妻。不說特恩愛吧,也可以算是一個唱一個隨。身邊也有特重情意的男女們,故事可以去拍掙人眼淚的電視劇了。

也許,是我心態不對?還是這裏一些人心態有問題?"(來源: CCC512 )

多謝! 你說的很對。我自己也是這麽安慰自己的。我灌了那麽多水,是希望“該不該”小妹及其她JM們能有一個較滿意的結局。
windcat 回複 悄悄話 Dear 雪花漂飄:

Really can feel your pain and your despair.

To be confess, I used to a lost soul like your husband!

As you can see, my husband is a very responsible man who love me more than himself. He take all house-keeping, cooking, and driving me to school, that I am still a big child without responsibility.

But God is fair, when he give you something precious, he will also bring away something equally previous!

I always want a child, but my husband do not want. Do you know why, because he said taking care of you is already too much, if we have a child, I know it is also me will take care of child, that is too much! Then I ask when we can have a child, he said untill you grow up and become share house-work with me and let me feel relax.

That I know it is true and God let me to grow up and being a responsible mom then we will have a child.

My dear 雪花漂飄,

Don't lost your faith! Your husband is just like a child who need to grow up and learn to be responsible! He is a lost soul who also suffers!

He is suffering from let his family pain; he is suffering when he see other man surrounded by his family; he is suffering when his secret lover asked for marriage but he can not give. He is suffering when he realized maybe both his career and his family will both leave him away in the future...

Everyone know what is right in her/his deep heart! That is why he do not want to divorce, because he know in this world only you and your kids are his family and will be waiting for his return.

He know he is a sinner and a lost soul, but right now he is driven by his desire, which he can not overcome by disciple and sacrifice!

Damage already made for you and your kids! And I understand you have a gentle sweet heart both for your kids and your husband. In this way, I really hope God can give your faith and strength to hold on until your husband grow up and take his responsibility or untill you find your new sweet love!

雪花漂飄 回複 悄悄話 回複windcat的評論:
Thank you. And I think your husband is quite resposible man. I agree with his suggestions. You are lucky wife.

1. Stick together: my husband is not willing as he thinks he will need spend some times on us(me and children) liking finding a school for children at least at the begining.
2. Divorce: he also is not willing as he thinks he can back at any time while he gets problems in China, we are his backup, and of course, better social system in this country.

So that is why I am so angry while I saw this in the original article"我們前幾天通話時他透露出孩子還是在美國好,他2-3個月回來一次。暑假我和孩子回國,這樣我們全年在一起的時間也有5個月。還說我們回去的話,他要分心,不能更全心投入到他的事業中。". This is just exact the same like our husbands said. And I am afraid that "該不該回國" will be end up the same situation like us: separate many years (>25 years) until retired.

Still I would say again life is still going on. However, it is really too suffering to wives, husbands are too selfish, wives like us are just very unlucky.Nothing else.
雪花漂飄 回複 悄悄話 Why I am writting here is to let "該不該"´realize this problem, and make clear decision with the husband as soon as possible, and there are at least 5 cases (more than 5 years separation, husbands have no plan to back, no plan to let wives to China) in my place. Of course, life is still going on in this kind of situation. Just mothers suffer very much. Husbands are really too selfish.
雪花漂飄 回複 悄悄話 回複gonewithwindatl的評論:
"雪花, 你應該盡快回去守住你的他的!". Thanks. And to myslef. Of course it is possible always to back to China if I want. However, I feel so meaningless to back to China if my huaband thinks it is not necessary to get the family united.
And from his altitude of dealing family issue, he is not so resposible to me. I will be in quite embrassed situation if I had some difficulty like huge sickness etc. Therefore, you know USA and European contries have quite better social system, the system will take care of me if some problem happens.

I said above that does not mean i only think myslef security. First, what do you feel? If you husband say to you that he does not want take more trouble while you back to China. You feel that you are the extra trouble to him. Of course, it is not so necessary to back to China. No matter how hard the life is, if husband says he needs you, let's us together, and face the hard life, no problem, just back.

Of course, like "windcat" said, just divorce, I suggested divorcing,but denied by my husband, and of course, my children still feel a whole family even sometime father goes away. From children's point, it is better to keep marriage.So the final result is that mother suffering, of course, children also suffering somehow while father is not together. Only husband gets the all benefits as he wishes.

windcat 回複 悄悄話 Dear Fellow Sisters,

I asked my husband about how to deal with long-term seperation, answer is simple with power: stick together no matter how hard. Other wise, divorce, then you go to china!

This I believe is the best solution for whole family!

I remember when my mom strongly against our marriage, we stick together and life well until my mom admit my husband and love him years later;

We stick together when I am a student and my husband took all kinds of under-table labor jobs (he can find high-pay in other city);

We stick together when my husband pursure his study and I quit my degree in order to company him;

We still stick together when both of us have high pay and lived in one of most beautiful city in North American.

But if I decied to move on for my carreer to another city, my husband will quit and move together.

Stick together is the most beautiful things with power and love and both learn to sacrifice. The results are always warm your heart!!!

Don't find various excuse, I saw many of my good girl-friends suffer huge for seperation. It is very against human-nature, and it broken your faith and your heart!

Sitck together forever, otherwise break it and find new love!!!

Your ths advice is correct, most of us thought this way while husband left for China.

However as I said, some husbands just want themself easilier.They may arrange the family united in China, but they just do not want to do it as more work needed, for instance, arrange the school for children, and family house, wife's control some how.

On the other hand, they do not want divorce, just let wife alnoe in USA for many years, until retired. They enjoy the life in China as long as China is going well, and coming back to USA someday if any problem. And They may find some girlfriend to solve sex problem in China if they want, but how can a mother do that in USA with the children? I do not mean short period, I mean over 25 years in separation state.

This is why many of us are so upset. I guess that your husband is not that kind of man, he will find a way of arrange the unification. So you do not worry it.

Children grow bigger, usually after 10 years old, it is quite hard to back to China if not attend the International schools, but it is not easy for many family to pay IS as it is quite expensive.

And considering of fee and many problems from moving, husband choose easier way to let wives to saty in USA or European countries. Then at least no united before children start university. Even after chindren starting univeristy, then for amny wives, it is not easy to get a job in China, and considering the pension etc., then still separation.

If the marrage still is kept, it is already some how happy end. But many of husband may find a new wife in China in this long term separation. And wives are having high pressure in whole life, and isn't it too rucial for wives?

I think the wife usually think the same as you do. However, there are several husbands in my place just declared that they are very happy in China, no plan to return to this country, and wife just stay in this country permantly with the children, and they can back to this country if something bad in china happens, or he got the big trouble, no plan to arrnage the children and wives to back to China.This mean separation will last until the retirement, family may unite after 20 years + 7 years passed, 27 years separation in whole life. How many years we can live?

If husband tell wife, hi,Lao Po, just wait me for several years, either I will return to USA, either I will arrange you back to China to get family unitfication. Few wives will not be angry.

The real problem is: husband just stays in China with their happy life, no plan to arrange the family unitification.

My statement about sex life is all based on the long-term separation, like 27 years. Do you still think it is not important?

And I know many wives still tolerate even no hope to get the family united in order to give children a whole family.

We are not enough good?

雪花漂飄 回複 悄悄話 回複Wiserman的評論:
再讀一遍:
我也說過,老公回國是可以理解的。“該不該回國”不要強迫她老公回美國,那樣老公也是不幸福的。

但“該不該回國”的彷徨是正常的。我們首先要理解她,讓她心裏好受點。

我的主要觀點是:她老公不應該要求她留在美國。丈夫們最差也應該說:妻子願意在美國堅持,自己想法多來美國團聚。妻子如不願意在美國堅持,想法安排孩子會中國上學,老婆工作。真不應該要求妻子呆在國外給他做保障。太自私, 不人道。

正如偶然路過的人說的:
保重好身體, 照顧好孩子, 發展好事業, 真的想回國就回, 不想回呢, 就在美國過. 少爭吵, 兩個人在一起一天, 就盡量善待對方, 也減少對孩子的影響. 當然如果碰到更合適的人, 就重新選擇, 沒有必要為了這樣的老公耽誤自己的幸福.

我還加一條:讓老公自己決定留在中國或回美國。不要強迫他。如同我們不想別人強迫你一樣。

windcat 回複 悄悄話 This article addresses one of most concerned topic happening in North American, and between man and women.

Removing the surface appearance, the deep reason here is the big conflict between culture hungry and financial stability.

Developing country like China provide huge culture rewards for man with decent education and rich opportunities. Amazing food, fresh young girls, tons of friends, flexible rules to play, and close to parents.

Can wives provide similar adventures and exciting in US- a well known culture desert?

Those husbands who have courage to leave their wives and kids for China is the man who love Chinese culture, love chaotic, love exciting, and love adventure. Typically they are not family-oriented man, and an ordinary family life can never satisfy their heart.

These husbands are not searching for results, not matter so much for successful or not, but they are eager for experience! A rich experience!

Can you really win their heart back? Very likely not!!!

Maybe you should learn to be like a wive of "Chen Long"-famous movie star. Let him enjoy the colorful cherish world, let him taste all kinds of women, and you still be an angle for your kids and for this big child. Then sometime at his 50s, he will appreciate your patient and love, and bring all money and respect to you as a old old man...

對, 我也是覺得wiserman的邏輯思辯能力有問題。 他說的話前後矛盾, 往往把自己給繞進去了。比如他高調批判追求安逸, 但是力主回國是因為在美國更辛苦 :)。結果不得不逃避問題不回答。 回答的問題又有驢唇不對馬嘴的情況, 顯得他的閱讀理解能力也很成問題。

他一開始就在事情還沒有完全弄清楚前就急躁冒進地對一方大打板子, 大力把責任放到一方頭上, 後麵卻不得不對自己連說三遍“清官難斷家務事”! :)

他的一個經典論點是:"人的適應性很強,很強,很強...若是不能適應,那是妳自己告訴自己不去適應的!",  嗬嗬, 豈不是一勞永逸地解決世界上的所有的問題!:)

他給的建議多大而化之很籠統, 讓你看完了也很糊塗。 比如他說“人生要有比較高的理想和情操”, 你不知道他這高理想和情操是怎麽定義的, 又是如何放在家庭生活環境裏來樹立和協調的, 但你知道他是把“理想和情操”跟“留在美國”對立起來的。:)

他也覺得“培養內在品質”是跟“想性的問題”對立的, 鼓勵人家向尼姑和尚看齊,清心寡欲來獲得敬重。但突然他冒出來一句“女人最好能知道一些吸引男人的訣竅....啊,這是一門大學問...中國女性與洋妞也不同,所以洋人的著作,需要適當的修正才好用...”, 顯得他在這方麵很有鑽研和心得, 這就有點讓人搞不清楚他的“內在品質”是怎麽回事了。 :)

他潛意識裏還是在搞男尊女卑那一套, 女性要處處寬容忍讓, 不考慮她們的實際情況。對自己,則很想樹立個高大全的雄性形象, 性事是三個月一次可, 一天三次也可,“不強求別人的愛好,順性而為,相配而合”。 雖然他隻談了自己的數量能力還沒談到質量能力, 但因為談了這麽一點性,就覺得自己是什麽都敢說了。連英語也都敢說了。 你可以原諒他的typo,比如打出個 “youer”來, 但你發現他連自己是“quite an unique person”還是 “quite a unique person”都不知道, 提問是用 Is 打頭還是 Does 打頭都搞不清楚, 你就很懷疑他這進過八間大學, 修過不同科係的經曆是怎麽回事兒......他還暗指自己是當老師的,你這就很替那些個學生擔心了……

你仔細讀一下Wiserman的回貼和跟貼, 你就比較容易理解一些中國男人的思維方式.

當老公要實現夢想的時候, 就說老婆要支持. 當老婆要實現夢想的時候, 就說你的夢想不是夢想, 而是禍國殃民的根源.

看見訣竅沒有? 根本不是觀點不同的問題, 而是怎樣對自己有利就怎樣說. 所以我勸你不用爭吵, 他們是揣著明白裝糊塗. 你能做的隻是想辦法盡量保護自己和孩子的利益.

我也說過,老公回國是可以理解的。“該不該回國”不要強迫她老公回美國,那樣老公也是不幸福的。

但“該不該回國”的彷徨是正常的。我們首先要理解她,讓她心裏好受點。

我的主要觀點是:她老公不應該要求她留在美國。丈夫們最差也應該說:妻子願意在美國堅持,自己想法多來美國團聚。妻子如不願意在美國堅持,想法安排孩子會中國上學,老婆工作。真不應該要求妻子呆在國外給他做保障。太自私, 不人道。

正如偶然路過的人說的:
保重好身體, 照顧好孩子, 發展好事業, 真的想回國就回, 不想回呢, 就在美國過. 少爭吵, 兩個人在一起一天, 就盡量善待對方, 也減少對孩子的影響. 當然如果碰到更合適的人, 就重新選擇, 沒有必要為了這樣的老公耽誤自己的幸福.

生活有很多無奈,沒有標準答案
對於四十歲左右的的女人來說,誰也沒有天真到鼓勵LG回國,來考驗自己的婚姻,誰不知道現在國內的種種誘惑.誰不希望LG安分守己的留在北美,過一份安安靜靜的生活,但不是所有人都是那麽幸運的.不是所有女人都有機會嫁給把老婆孩子,家庭放在首位的丈夫的.不要埋怨那些回流老婆,太空人老婆當年不聽別人的勸告,最後自己吃苦頭.道理人人皆知,但具體到家裏這本經怎麽念,隻有當事人最清楚.婚姻在很大程度上是一種賭博,我外婆那輩人嫁給地主,資本家的時候是想不到會有後來的土改和公私合營,我母親那一輩人結婚的時候,也想不到會有反右,文革.我們結婚的時候也不會想到出了國,還有海歸一說,更想不到十年,二十年後中國的環境會變成這樣.要知道當時誰有生活問題,誰就等於給自己的前途畫句號.那些”棄婦”們也有過令人羨慕的婚姻.但社會在變,男人的心也會變, 這些都是自己無法控製的,但自己的生活,自己還是可以掌握的,隻有自己自立,自信,才能以不變應萬變,有可能的話,經濟上獨立是最重要的,如果自己暫時無法掙錢,那也要在離婚的時候為自己爭取最大利益.精神上要有自己的社交圈,最好是那種跑到哪裏都能找到”組織”的social group.與其整天為自己的命運歎息,還不如讓自己活的精彩

我不明白的是既然人的適應能力非常強, 為什麽做丈夫的不能在美國適應妻子孩子想要的生活, 而要妻子孩子都去適應他? 既然是一家人, 那麽當然應該尊重這家人裏大多數人的意見.

我不明白的是現在明明是做丈夫的因為一己隻私, 有可能會傷害自己的孩子和妻子, 你卻在對做妻子的諸多要求? 孩子是有眼睛的, 孩子是有腦子的,做丈夫的隻要做到一個父親和丈夫的責任, 孩子自有判斷.

留不留在美國不是最重要的問題, 最重要的問題是當一個男人靠著妻子孩子辛苦支撐下, 有了一點成績時, 居然為了追求自己的夢想, 犧牲家人想過的生活, 真的是很自私和忘恩負義.

做太太的要想的事是, 對一個比較自私的丈夫應該怎樣最大限度的保護自己和孩子的利益, 和要不要持續婚姻的問題.

The irony here is maybe the husband's philosophy is just same as these ladies suggested: "先考慮自己 and career,夫妻關係放到第三位", :) I am not saying who is right or wrong, but it is always helpful to think from other people's angle.

For wife to stay in US as backup plan, this maybe a tough job, but it is a backup for the family, not just for husband. Also it is not forever, just for one year. If the husband in concern does not take advantage of good "sex" service available in China, it is tough for him too.

Discounting is important, because husbands and wives have different interests, something for wives are natural, but could be a sacrifice for husbands, it is true the other way around.

Finally, luck plays an important role in life and marriage too, do not force it too much one way or the other. Always think in a positive way. If it is really too much a burden to take care of two kids, you can send one kid to China, or both of them to China. Not a big deal, huh?
武勝 回複 悄悄話 提供的信息有點片麵,沒有交待丈夫感情有沒有變化和事業發展如何。如果把丈夫的感受也一並提供才能兼聽則明。僅從文中看,丈夫並沒有推托對妻兒的責任,隻是在哪裏工作生活這方麵不肯妥協,女方也不肯妥協,這是焦點。如果丈夫在國內發展得好,女方確實可以考慮放棄雞肋回國發展,以她的學曆到國內不會沒事幹的。

下麵有些“女權宣言”,有丈夫們“不爭氣”的因素,也有期望落差的因素,即女人對生活期望通常高於男人。這對男人是一種鞭策,但也要理解這個不怎麽樣的社會隻讓極少數人過得順心,極大部分人是“不如意事常八九”。自我心理要調整,事情似乎沒有那麽糟,很多人比事主更糟。離婚再婚用相當大的代價提供一個轉折的機會,至於轉好還是轉壞應該是都有可能。而且好壞也不是windcat說的那樣的截然兩分。

Group 1: they believe the wife is the one to love, to care for, and to protect.
They are willing to sacrifice their own interest for the wife and kids.

Group 1's wife is the lucky one.

Group 2's wife is the unlucky one. You should either admit your fate, and learn to sacrifice yourself for your family; otherwise, you should have courage to give up this marriage and looking for a Group 1 husband.

Two of my closed friends have the same situation like you, they feel very pain, because they want to be taking care and to be loved, but their husbands just want to use them as backup and babysitter. One already divorced and remaining single; another still suffering but slowly begin to admit her role in the family.


該不該回國 回複 悄悄話 回複該不該回國的評論:實際上我也考慮回去,但我先生並沒有考慮到讓我回去,可能90%是讓我在美國留後路,考慮我和孩子都喜歡美國,他自認為我可以一人帶兩個孩子,而且這幾年都這麽過來了。他現在什麽都不考慮,就想自己創出來,我們也會跟著他生活的很好。他自己就是母親一人帶大的,他父親一年才回家一次。可以說他考慮我們太少了。但我這幾天考慮的就很多,考慮的越多越煩惱。

蘋果和梨 回複 悄悄話 我覺得這位媽媽不想回國是很能理解的.

首先,作為一個女人,首先考慮自己.雖然現在的工作如雞肋,但回國後能不能找到比這個好的呢.

其次,作為一個母親,孩子的心願不能漠視,回國後孩子能不能適應呢?

站在旁觀者的立場,我對這個丈夫感到挺失望的,所以給一句忠告:先考慮自己和孩子,夫妻關係放到第三位.
回複 悄悄話 我花一點時間來解釋一下為什麽我認為wiserman這樣的人很恐怖。

該不該回國遇到問題, 壓力之下到網上求助。 我能理解她的心情。大家能給她一點鼓勵就鼓勵, 給點支持就支持, 有點實在的建議和思路最好。 這個叫幫人“排憂解難”。 這裏的回帖雖然意見並不統一, 基本上都是走的這個路子。 而wiserman的回帖基本就是打棒子和扣帽子。可能他覺得發一通尖刻反駁, 把人的問題打發回去了就解決問題了。 這種做派很似從前某些國內領導對待農民問題:你鬧個什麽鬧?國家這麽困難你不替國家著想, 怎麽這麽自私?其實誰都知道, 國家困難可能是有的, 但是農民活不下去了更是事實。你想把擔子都壓到農民頭上, 讓他們自覺地閉嘴完事, 遲早逼農民起來造反。

“該不該回國”現在就是壓力之大, 搞得有造反的心了。其實大部分的女性, 隻要老公能表現得把家掛在心裏, 哪怕隻在嘴巴上多說點話,讓老婆心裏有點底, 老婆也都認帳,再怎麽辛苦也跟著。 一般情況下,一個老婆隻有對這個老公感到徹底絕望才會想到離婚。自然而然, 多半的人就會勸這個老婆多想點老公的好, 對老公建立信心, 另一方麵勸老婆增強自立以免這個老公真的令人絕望。至於老婆具體選擇怎麽去做, 是老婆自己的事。別的人都替代不了。不管什麽選擇, 如果這個老婆最後覺得好, 我們替她感到欣慰, 如果這個老婆最後覺得不好, 我們替她扼腕興歎。總之現在是這個老婆覺得痛苦, 而不是老公。

但是這個Wiserman呢, 上來就對這個老婆大打棒子。 先從她是“國內博士”打起。 我不清楚wiserman說“你這個博士白讀了”, 是特指國內博士呢, 還是泛指一切博士。 姑且說是指國內博士, 那麽Wiserman就給“國內博士”釘上了理想化的光環――既然是個“國內博士”, 就得精通人情世故, 就得讀一些社會科學,人性,心理學...的書。

很有可能, wiserman自己是沒有讀過“國內博士”的, 所以才對“國內博士”有如此的高調想象。如果他讀過, 就讓人不得不懷疑他的學位很大部分是靠鑽營得來的, 至少跟精通人情事故有關。 但更有可能, 他是沒有讀過海外博士的, 否則不會不知道在這兒拿個博士學位跟你是不是精通人情事故, 要不要讀 社會科學,人性,心理學...的書可以完全沒有關係。 當然, 就這樣, 他也敢叫自己 “Wiserman”。 :)

他之所以拿“國內博士”開刀, 大概是想說你一旦精通人情世故了, 生活的壓力和擔憂就不成其為壓力和擔憂了, 這個老婆的抱怨就應該沒有了。但事實上, 我們看到這個自認懂得人情世故的wiserman對 一個訴苦求助的帖子都容忍不了,就不難想象他在生活中遇到什麽事後的反應, 以及他這辦法能有什麽實際可操作性。

果然, 他的1到9,一條條quote原文然後唱反調, 要說的就是:你看的是鏡子這麵, 我看的是鏡子那麵,我看的那一麵比你這一麵更重要!我無法看到他如何精通人情世故遊刃有餘地解決問題, 但我看到他的大棒子(“成事不足,敗事有餘”,“你的先生可能很後悔,呀!遇到這樣的老婆”)以及跟原貼不符的指責(e.g., 3)。 這種一邊兒倒的評議就跟針尖對麥芒的夫妻吵架沒有實質不同,除掉指責對方並沒有什麽建設性意義, 不能讓抱怨的問題消於無形。

他指責完了接下來要求: “你要心胸開闊,多為人著想”。這句話就是說: 你目前這樣的抱怨是心胸狹隘, 自私的表現。wiserman在沒有切實理解“該不該回國”的苦處, 沒有分析她老公的問題, 隻是要求她打包自己的痛苦自己扛, 不應煩擾違逆丈夫。這就跟壓製農民問題的領導們沒什麽兩樣了。

他最後說離婚也可以, 但是竟然陡然引申到, “中國教育是失敗的,人文教育太欠缺了!” 這樣的上綱上線也太可怕了, 甚至超出了壓製農民的領導們了。 “該不該回國”如果真離婚了就代表中國(對女性?)教育的失敗的和人文教育的欠缺嗎? 我實在覺得wiserman的言辭才代表了這樣的問題。

有一些人, 缺乏對他人痛苦的基本尊重和關懷,自私, 冷酷。 不僅如此, 他們還要站盡道德的製高點來壓製他人為己所用,且自以為是, 好為人師。這真就是讓人感到非常的恐怖了。

自己想怎麽活就怎麽活,想那麽多幹什麽!孩子在哪兒都會開心的,隻要父母和睦,生活有保障就行。
若愛你的丈夫到了可以犧牲自己的份兒,就回國;不願意的話,就留在美國,獨立帶孩子,也別那麽多的抱怨。怨婦,沒勁兒。自己都覺得沒勁,是吧?
雪花漂飄 回複 悄悄話 fannie: Married or not? Good for a mother without any sex life in 2-3 months? What are the problem for our Chinese?
雪花漂飄 回複 悄悄話 揚子江酒店: I do not see this lady's 性格 has any problem. It is very normal for a mother wondering this as she put children on the top of herself. This lady is so good. he wants a better solution and try to get consultants here, not like husband, just leave.

I am really ashamed for many chinese man, they went back to China, like being there, but do not want to take wife and children to there. How conflicting idea, let wife without sexy life in 2-3 months for his career, stupid. What this career is for? Only just he has good title, foolish.
雪花漂飄 回複 悄悄話 該不該回國: And your children attend in schools in China, it is not really bad, learn Chinese and their own culture roots, then English, no problem, multiculture background. I mean backing to China is not bad at all for your children.But just whether or not you like staying in China, and whether or not you may get a satisfied job in China.
雪花漂飄 回複 悄悄話 該不該回國: I have the same experience as you are now 7 years ago, I understand your situation completely. 1st, you forced your husband staying in USA, this is not right, he is a man, he has his own feeling of working, no matter what he likes, more social life in China is not bad, some people likes social life, some people do not like, like alone, peaceful life. You cannot force your husband lik USA life.

But my point is: your husband is too selflish because of this: "他透露出孩子還是在美國好,他2-3個月回來一次。暑假我和孩子回國,這樣我們全年在一起的時間也有5個月。還說我們回去的話,他要分心,不能更全心投入到他的事業中。". If he as a man, the core of the family life like living whereever he likes, but should arrange wife and the children to be with him.

Family should be together, either husband or wife get a more satisfied job in other place, should consider spouse and children, and arrnge properly.

Divorcing is not so hurry, except you get a new man friend, and you like him very much, you should be more active to find a new man friend if you really like USA life. Otherwise, just keepingthe situation, let your current husband flying until he gets boring, maybe he will find a new wife in China, be preparing for this.

揚子江酒店 回複 悄悄話 依她的性格,回不回國最後可能都要離婚。可憐了小孩了。。。
雪花漂飄 回複 悄悄話 Wiserman: You are really too wise. You should not be in this forum.

該不該回國: do not be so worry. Here I am living in one of European country, there are several examples like you. Your husband is not resposible man, he is too selfish. Be strong and take care of your 2 children, they will be independent after 10 years (actually 5 years, it will be much easier for you). And if you may be independent and get the permanent job, and you like China very much, just go back to China with your children, they will adpate to China quite easily. If yourself cannot get the permanent job, do not like China, just stay in USA. Do not think about where is better for children, only think where is better for you. Children either in China or USA have pro and cos.
fannie 回複 悄悄話 這家人的問題不應到離婚這份上吧。
男的沒說想離婚,也不是有了外遇。
女的若離了婚,還能嫁誰啊,日子會更好嗎,對孩子會更好嗎?
生活中的理解,妥協,隱忍和堅持非常重要,不要輕言放棄。

如果男人的夢想是回國創業,應該給他一次機會,不然他這輩子都覺得白活了。女方一人帶兩小孩,雖然辛苦,還是可以堅持的,一是這家人本來在美國就分居兩地,女方一人帶孩子, 二是美國單親家庭不少,不是照樣過。 有很多華人家庭就是這樣的,男的國內創業,老婆孩子在美國,一家人兩邊跑,苦中有樂,過得也挺好的,犯不著全家都回去。

6) 引"...我想即使我們全家都回去後,遇到不開心的事情,我都要怪到他的頭上。"

9) 引"...我真是很矛盾。唉!遇到這樣的老公。。。"

---------------------------------------------------------
10) 你要心胸開闊,多為人著想,從不同的角度看事情,不要隻認定一個觀點.
11) 若和老公真的合不來,分就分吧!但是,記住"好來好往",不可成冤家.也要知道,離婚的後果,艱苦一段時間,以後是好是壞,未知數.
但是,怎麽辦都能活下去. 不過:
為了住在美國,把丈夫甩掉,可能隻有現在的中國人會如此做;印度人在這方麵,比中國人清醒多了!一位引度熟人曾對我說,"我們引度幾乎沒有美國非法移民."...住在美國和回印度對他們說都差不多,各有得失.
中國教育是失敗的,人文教育太欠缺了!

偶然路過的人 回複 悄悄話
這個老公呀, 品質真夠差.

如果真的想無所顧及的做好事業, 那就不要結婚. 撈了婚姻的好處, 該他負責了, 就不樂意了, 居然可以厚顏無恥到指責孩子拖累自己的事業, 人家孩子還沒抱怨當爹的沒本事, 五年都要靠當媽一個人的工資養孩子.

說到骨氣, 這麽男士就更有問題了. 沒錢沒事業的時候, 說啥是啥, 剛剛熬出點頭, 就衝著老婆耍個性, 要自尊了.典型的小人嘴臉.
redwest 回複 悄悄話 好像不是孩子和家庭團圓的問題,而是夫妻感情的問題。先理清楚兩個人的感情問題,感情好的話,在哪兒都行,要是感情不好,他的心不在你身上,你回國了,即使和他在一起,估計最後也是受傷害。

夫妻感情,能改善的盡量改善,實在不行了,就考慮開始自己的新生活。
JaneYu 回複 悄悄話 我覺得這個母親應該好好考慮一下,到底是孩子在哪裏念書重要還是家庭團聚重要。“兒女很喜歡美國”,孩子們在美國長大,自然說這樣的話,但是不代表他們不會喜歡中國。而且在這位媽媽的眼裏,去中國就是毀了兒女的前程,我覺得這個觀點很奇怪,她和她先生不也是中國教育出來的嗎?另外我隱隱感到這位母親很enjoy控製她的先生,她說:“他一切事情都聽我的,但最近3,4年,他工作後,和我的意見分歧的比較多。”男人也有自尊心,尊重男人自己的選擇很重要。頭幾年他沒辦法,經濟大權在你手裏,所以已經“忍辱負重”很多年了,等到他有了經濟收入,自然就想表現一下自己的能力啦。一家人,特別是有了小孩的一家人,最重要的就是一家團圓,我想這位母親可以再考慮一下到底要怎麽辦。如果我對這麽母親有冒犯的地方,真的很抱歉,我知道你是一位好母親,我如果對你有理解上的偏差,請不要生氣,我真誠道歉。
windcat 回複 悄悄話 She has following troubles:
(1) Husband is not a responsible family-oriented man;
(2) Raising two kids and have a full-time job are too much works;
(3) She don't enjoy her current job;
(4) She and her husband is a middle-income, not rich enough to hire full-time nanny in US.
(5) She already at mid-age, not young and attractive anymore

I guess based on above conditions , the best solve is to go back together to China. In this way:
(1) Keep family safe, this is the best gifts for two kids than divorce;
(2) Can hire full-time nanny take-care of house-keeping jobs;
(3) She can have a freedom to chose a new excting career or become a relaxing house-wife;
(4) She will become more attractive because social support and cheaper labor;
(5) She will have more time with her mom and dad,...
(6) Her husband will love her again if she learn not to complain:)

We have to make choices all the time in our life. But we have to be clear what is the most important to us. You always blame your husband ignore the family, kids... but what about you? Making choices between family and funiture? Boy's swimming classes over his father?...
