该不该回国,该不该离婚?

(2009-03-23 10:51:30) 下一个
我给名为“该不该回国”网友的帖子

(1)男人其实都不喜欢离婚。
如果可以,谁不想象皇帝那样,搞个后宫三千,离什么离?多累啊。喜欢谁就宠谁,多去她那小馆,不喜欢就让她在冷宫里吃斋念佛,自生自灭。
“红旗不倒,彩旗飘飘”是现代精英简化版本的“帝王”理想。

(2)男人为什么才会离婚?
情人逼婚,他玩儿火玩儿大了,被套牢了。国内的女孩子要是“上”,那就是有目的的。否则放着同龄帅哥儿不理,谁跟你个黄脸衰男罗嗦。
“该不该”的老公喜欢国内那一套,他在美国有很好的工作和新房子,他还真是放下了“高薪,洋房”哭着喊着回国的。而他在国内最喜欢的又是什么呢?是“喝酒交朋友玩”,这就对了。这种年龄的男人一块出去还能玩出什么别的名堂?没人捧着哪里来人上人的感觉?
男人想离婚还有可能是老婆太厉害太没趣儿,面目可憎,让他生不如死了。有些中年妇女特罗嗦平庸,除了孩子工作一点别的兴趣都没有,我跟她们在一起10分钟不到都烦得逃跑。

(3)离婚的坏处

那人要是没良心躲在国内,下堂妻带着孩子可是一分钱也收不到了。
鉴于这个前提,要是他很想离,“该不该”就得对他狠一点,能多争取的利益都别松口。

(4)离婚的好处
旧的不去,新的不来。

总之,“该不该”要有破釜沉舟的决心,回去就赶快回,不要考虑那么多瓶瓶罐罐,别耗着;要留就死心踏地地留下,那边天塌下来,也别让他坏了心情,以不变对万变。

“该不该回国”网友的原帖:


   
我在大概一年前发过帖子,请各位网络朋友了解我们的现状,帮帮我出出主义。他已经回国一年半了。现在又到了我们作决定的时候了。

我们在美十年,儿子一年级,女儿今年9月上kingdgarden.老公在我的坚决反对下还是回国。我在一个大学工作, 做着鸡肋一样的工作,收入一般。看样子老公2-3年是不会回美国了。他现在每年可以回美国4次。儿女很喜欢美国。儿子现在钢琴,游泳,滑冰都挺好。每天可高兴。我现在拿不定主义,今年年暑假后,全家都回中国,还是维持现状?维持现状的话,我很辛苦,心里和身体都很疲惫,如果都回去的话,怕对小孩有影响。即使回去,我也计划回去3-4年,等小孩小学毕业后,回美国上初中,毕竟他们要在美国读大学。就担心这样换环境,对小孩有影响。请朋友们给我建议!!!!!多谢!

我家情况是我先生极力回国,在我的再三阻拦下仍然回去了,扔下我们母女三人在美国。小的5岁,大的7岁。我全职工作10years,种种原因,现在搞的我焦头烂额,非常影响我们的感情。我现在都非常恨他。恨他的不负责任。我在美国申请公民,公民马上就下来。问题是现在我是身心疲惫,我害怕耽误两个小孩的前途。是跟他离婚还能怎么办? 我都不知道怎么办好。请各位兄弟姐妹帮我出出主意。

我们前几天通话时他透露出孩子还是在美国好,他2-3个月回来一次。暑假我和孩子回国,这样我们全年在一起的时间也有5个月。还说我们回去的话,他要分心,不能更全心投入到他的事业中。但我不同意。他说你不同意就算了。其实他回去半年了,在这半年前,他都买好机票要回去看看,在机票前一天晚上我对他说,如果你回去,丢掉现在这么好的工作,我没法和你过了。他就没回去,机票作废。第二天,自己一人在家痛哭,觉得自己的事业,前程被我和孩子困住,心里很不甘心,想回国创一番大事的野心成了泡影。后来在朋友的劝说下(我们所有的朋友都说他不应该回),他也想开了。但国内的人又和他联系上,说让他回去看看,如果不喜欢就回来,这样我暑假前脚回国,他后脚也回去了,回去之后他就不想回来了,在国内又和我商量,我还是坚决反对, 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,自己说,舍不得孩子套不住狼,这样他就把我们舍掉,回去自己创去了。我们结婚整十一年,头5年他读书,我工作(我是国内的博士,来美国就工作),我办绿卡等,他一切事情都听我的,但最近3,4年,他工作后,和我的意见分歧的比较多,我们两地分居,周末我带孩子到他那里(我们在他工作地买了房子,想我以后要到他那里的)。对他回国这件事,我心里始终不同意,其实已经严重影响了我对他的感情。我想即使我们全家都回去后,遇到不开心的事情,我都要怪到他的头上。其实我心里最担心的是3-4年后,他还是不想回美国的话,我拿他是一点办法都没有的。那时我年纪也大了,回美也不好找工作,我实在是怕耽误孩子的身心和前程。我真是很矛盾。唉!遇到这样的老公。。。

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!!!!!

中国人该不该把骆家辉当成自家人 文章来源: 欧联时报 于 2009-03-28

这个标题对骆家辉是不公平的!
"中国人该不该把骆家辉当成自家人?"的措词有大问题!
1) 骆是现任美国的一个部长,当然要尽忠职守.
2) 因为奥巴马是黑人,骆家辉才有机会上去,他的心中可能想到"我们做的会比你们老白好!"
3) 骆家辉在成长的过程中,受了不少歧视,现在算争了口气.即使几年前还有人给他恐吓信...
4) 骆家辉部长是为很有中华民族感的人,他在竞选州长时就大声地说"有华人血统的骄傲!"
这与其他的华裔政客们都畏畏缩缩的尽量与"华"分开,是大不相同地!
5) 骆家辉是自家人? 当然是! 他像是中国嫁出去的闺女,希望中国人不要幻想"她"是专门
拿东西回娘家的"内贼".
6) 通过骆家辉或许可以使美国改善对中国的关系和印象,美国国内有这么多反中的昏人,
绝非奥巴马和骆家辉所能完全左右的!
7) 看看这些英国种的,犹太种的美国有权有势有财人物,他们对英国,对以色列太多方便了!
8) 希望中国人不要幻想!不着实际地幻想是危险的!
9) 骆家辉的路途是艰巨的,压力各方来,但他是明事理的,我们必须支持他!!!
simply_leaf 回复 悄悄话 女人这么说:“看这里论坛,一说到回国,就想成是洪水猛兽,老公回去就一定是羊入虎口或者狼入羊群。但怎么我身边就没有这样的呢?无论是回去的还是本来就在国内但混也不错的,夫妻两都挺好的啊。不但如此,有两个还是爱妻牌男人。提出我的疑问,这里有人说,你那是只看到表面,你怎么不知道他们那是貌合神离在演戏?我在网上看完那些被传了一手或几手的故事,那些老婆的担心害怕,感觉真是暗无天日啊,这婚结的有什么意思啊。但一想不对啊。现实中,我身边都是不错的夫妻。不说特恩爱吧,也可以算是一个唱一个随。身边也有特重情意的男女们,故事可以去拍挣人眼泪的电视剧了。

也许,是我心态不对?还是这里一些人心态有问题?"(来源: CCC512 )

多谢! 你说的很对。我自己也是这么安慰自己的。我灌了那么多水,是希望“该不该”小妹及其她JM们能有一个较满意的结局。
windcat 回复 悄悄话 Dear 雪花漂飘:

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 雪花漂飘,

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!

Sorry, I do not understand this so well. And I even patintly communicated with Wiserman. Of course, Isaid something rude. But finally he understood what I said.

From all my friends and relatives around, they think I am the person who are very patient. Maybe the problem it is too patient, my husband does not care me.

Any way, your husband is looking for the school for your kids. I think the relatively good (not the worst ones, some schools even in USA are really too bad, kids are easily affected by other people), not the best (too hard to get it in) is ok for the kids

该不该回国 回复 悄悄话 回复雪花漂飘的评论:Totally agree with you. I wrote a long email to him, he is looking for the school for kids.From this point we have a different opinion, he thinks the normal shcool is ok, I think we have ability to find good school for my kids.
雪花漂飘 回复 悄悄话 回复windcat的评论:
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"我们前几天通话时他透露出孩子还是在美国好,他2-3个月回来一次。暑假我和孩子回国,这样我们全年在一起的时间也有5个月。还说我们回去的话,他要分心,不能更全心投入到他的事业中。". This is just exact the same like our husbands said. And I am afraid that "该不该回国" 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.
雪花漂飘 回复 悄悄话 Why I am writting here is to let "该不该"´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.
雪花漂飘 回复 悄悄话 回复gonewithwindatl的评论:
"雪花, 你应该尽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 回复 悄悄话 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.

雪花漂飘 回复 悄悄话 Simple question: How many years you can tolerate the separation while 5 months together in a years (even not guranted, I know some only 4 months together, only vacation days) and longest time not seeing each other in 3-4 months?

"
If we can 等 husband in 27 years in the separation state, of course, there is no need of discussing here.

Like I said, many wives still tolerate the separation caused by husbands in order to keep the whole family for children even no hope of united before retired.

雪花漂飘 回复 悄悄话 And I hope that "该不该回国 " will not have the same problem like we have. I mean her husband will just have few years let her wait.

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?

"你不像是个为性结婚的人,也决不会为性离婚。一辈子的缘分和性趣,不差这几年!到是要好好待你自己,想办法找人帮帮你。孩子毕竟要精心照看的。"

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?

雪花漂飘 回复 悄悄话 回复Wiserman的评论:
再读一遍:
我也说过,老公回国是可以理解的。“该不该回国”不要强迫她老公回美国,那样老公也是不幸福的。

但“该不该回国”的彷徨是正常的。我们首先要理解她,让她心里好受点。

我的主要观点是:她老公不应该要求她留在美国。丈夫们最差也应该说:妻子愿意在美国坚持,自己想法多来美国团聚。妻子如不愿意在美国坚持,想法安排孩子会中国上学,老婆工作。真不应该要求妻子呆在国外给他做保障。太自私, 不人道。

正如偶然路过的人说的:
保重好身体, 照顾好孩子, 发展好事业, 真的想回国就回, 不想回呢, 就在美国过. 少争吵, 两个人在一起一天, 就尽量善待对方, 也减少对孩子的影响. 当然如果碰到更合适的人, 就重新选择, 没有必要为了这样的老公耽误自己的幸福.

我还加一条:让老公自己决定留在中国或回美国。不要强迫他。如同我们不想别人强迫你一样。

windcat 回复 悄悄话 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...

回复 悄悄话 回复偶然路过的人的评论:

对, 我也是觉得wiserman的逻辑思辩能力有问题。 他说的话前后矛盾, 往往把自己给绕进去了。比如他高调批判追求安逸, 但是力主回国是因为在美国更辛苦 :)。结果不得不逃避问题不回答。 回答的问题又有驴唇不对马嘴的情况, 显得他的阅读理解能力也很成问题。

他一开始就在事情还没有完全弄清楚前就急躁冒进地对一方大打板子, 大力把责任放到一方头上, 后面却不得不对自己连说三遍“清官难断家务事”! :)

他的一个经典论点是:"人的适应性很强,很强,很强...若是不能适应,那是妳自己告诉自己不去适应的!",  呵呵, 岂不是一劳永逸地解决世界上的所有的问题!:)

他给的建议多大而化之很笼统, 让你看完了也很糊涂。 比如他说“人生要有比较高的理想和情操”, 你不知道他这高理想和情操是怎么定义的, 又是如何放在家庭生活环境里来树立和协调的, 但你知道他是把“理想和情操”跟“留在美国”对立起来的。:)

他也觉得“培养内在品质”是跟“想性的问题”对立的, 鼓励人家向尼姑和尚看齐,清心寡欲来获得敬重。但突然他冒出来一句“女人最好能知道一些吸引男人的诀窍....啊,这是一门大学问...中国女性与洋妞也不同,所以洋人的著作,需要适当的修正才好用...”, 显得他在这方面很有钻研和心得, 这就有点让人搞不清楚他的“内在品质”是怎么回事了。 :)

他潜意识里还是在搞男尊女卑那一套, 女性要处处宽容忍让, 不考虑她们的实际情况。对自己,则很想树立个高大全的雄性形象, 性事是三个月一次可, 一天三次也可,“不强求别人的爱好,顺性而为,相配而合”。 虽然他只谈了自己的数量能力还没谈到质量能力, 但因为谈了这么一点性,就觉得自己是什么都敢说了。连英语也都敢说了。 你可以原谅他的typo,比如打出个 “youer”来, 但你发现他连自己是“quite an unique person”还是 “quite a unique person”都不知道, 提问是用 Is 打头还是 Does 打头都搞不清楚, 你就很怀疑他这进过八间大学, 修过不同科系的经历是怎么回事儿......他还暗指自己是当老师的,你这就很替那些个学生担心了……
偶然路过的人 回复 悄悄话 回复该不该回国的评论:

当需要妻儿为老公牺牲的时候呢, 就和你说一家人不要计较付出. 当需要老公为妻儿牺牲的时候呢,就不和你说一家人不要计较付出了, 改成老婆要独立, 孩子要适应.

当老公要实现梦想的时候, 就说老婆要支持. 当老婆要实现梦想的时候, 就说你的梦想不是梦想, 而是祸国殃民的根源.

看见诀窍没有? 根本不是观点不同的问题, 而是怎样对自己有利就怎样说. 所以我劝你不用争吵, 他们是揣着明白装糊涂. 你能做的只是想办法尽量保护自己和孩子的利益.

雪花漂飘 回复 悄悄话 回复Wiserman的评论:
我也说过,老公回国是可以理解的。“该不该回国”不要强迫她老公回美国,那样老公也是不幸福的。

但“该不该回国”的彷徨是正常的。我们首先要理解她,让她心里好受点。

我的主要观点是:她老公不应该要求她留在美国。丈夫们最差也应该说:妻子愿意在美国坚持,自己想法多来美国团聚。妻子如不愿意在美国坚持,想法安排孩子会中国上学,老婆工作。真不应该要求妻子呆在国外给他做保障。太自私, 不人道。

正如偶然路过的人说的:
保重好身体, 照顾好孩子, 发展好事业, 真的想回国就回, 不想回呢, 就在美国过. 少争吵, 两个人在一起一天, 就尽量善待对方, 也减少对孩子的影响. 当然如果碰到更合适的人, 就重新选择, 没有必要为了这样的老公耽误自己的幸福.

在美国的中国人必须做的比别人好,加倍努力才行,机会不见得能拿到,当然像田长霖,骆家辉...的例子也有,那你就等吧...
若是在中国国内有好机会,最好不要放过,人生的好机会只有3,4个而已...(余下自己想)
毛虫儿 回复 悄悄话 我觉得你还是跟着老公走,有了孩子就要为了孩子的幸福着想。有爸爸妈妈在身边,我想这是人生很重要的。你回了国也可以找到不错的工作,自己的工作和孩子的幸福相比,孩子更重要。即使你回中国老公和你离了也就认了,至少在中国有家人帮你,你可以再考虑呆在中国还是回美国。家人在一起最重要。

asiangirl 回复 悄悄话 这是我两年前在"人到中年"发的贴子

生活有很多无奈,没有标准答案
对于四十岁左右的的女人来说,谁也没有天真到鼓励LG回国,来考验自己的婚姻,谁不知道现在国内的种种诱惑.谁不希望LG安分守己的留在北美,过一份安安静静的生活,但不是所有人都是那么幸运的.不是所有女人都有机会嫁给把老婆孩子,家庭放在首位的丈夫的.不要埋怨那些回流老婆,太空人老婆当年不听别人的劝告,最后自己吃苦头.道理人人皆知,但具体到家里这本经怎么念,只有当事人最清楚.婚姻在很大程度上是一种赌博,我外婆那辈人嫁给地主,资本家的时候是想不到会有后来的土改和公私合营,我母亲那一辈人结婚的时候,也想不到会有反右,文革.我们结婚的时候也不会想到出了国,还有海归一说,更想不到十年,二十年后中国的环境会变成这样.要知道当时谁有生活问题,谁就等于给自己的前途画句号.那些”弃妇”们也有过令人羡慕的婚姻.但社会在变,男人的心也会变, 这些都是自己无法控制的,但自己的生活,自己还是可以掌握的,只有自己自立,自信,才能以不变应万变,有可能的话,经济上独立是最重要的,如果自己暂时无法挣钱,那也要在离婚的时候为自己争取最大利益.精神上要有自己的社交圈,最好是那种跑到哪里都能找到”组织”的social group.与其整天为自己的命运叹息,还不如让自己活的精彩

我不明白的是既然人的适应能力非常强, 为什么做丈夫的不能在美国适应妻子孩子想要的生活, 而要妻子孩子都去适应他? 既然是一家人, 那么当然应该尊重这家人里大多数人的意见.

我不明白的是现在明明是做丈夫的因为一己只私, 有可能会伤害自己的孩子和妻子, 你却在对做妻子的诸多要求? 孩子是有眼睛的, 孩子是有脑子的,做丈夫的只要做到一个父亲和丈夫的责任, 孩子自有判断.

留不留在美国不是最重要的问题, 最重要的问题是当一个男人靠着妻子孩子辛苦支撑下, 有了一点成绩时, 居然为了追求自己的梦想, 牺牲家人想过的生活, 真的是很自私和忘恩负义.

做太太的要想的事是, 对一个比较自私的丈夫应该怎样最大限度的保护自己和孩子的利益, 和要不要持续婚姻的问题.

The best marriage should be for both parties to make sacrifice for family without comparing who makes more sacrifice, if you compare, it feels more like a business. But that is a very hard standard, most of people can't do that, the next step would be treat everybody equal like business partners, do your share of responsibility if you require a similar contribution from the other side, discounted by different life attitude and aspirations.

longtermInvestor 回复 悄悄话 "先考虑自己和孩子,夫妻关系放到第三位", a few female friends give similar advices like the one quoted, they also blame the husband in concern "not responsible" at the same time. The irony here is maybe the husband's philosophy is just same as these ladies suggested: "先考虑自己 and career,夫妻关系放到第三位", :) 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?
武胜 回复 悄悄话 提供的信息有点片面,没有交待丈夫感情有没有变化和事业发展如何。如果把丈夫的感受也一并提供才能兼听则明。仅从文中看,丈夫并没有推托对妻儿的责任,只是在哪里工作生活这方面不肯妥协,女方也不肯妥协,这是焦点。如果丈夫在国内发展得好,女方确实可以考虑放弃鸡肋回国发展,以她的学历到国内不会没事干的。

下面有些“女权宣言”,有丈夫们“不争气”的因素,也有期望落差的因素,即女人对生活期望通常高于男人。这对男人是一种鞭策,但也要理解这个不怎么样的社会只让极少数人过得顺心,极大部分人是“不如意事常八九”。自我心理要调整,事情似乎没有那么糟,很多人比事主更糟。离婚再婚用相当大的代价提供一个转折的机会,至于转好还是转坏应该是都有可能。而且好坏也不是windcat说的那样的截然两分。

1. 立即回国,做决定难,只是短痛。小孩们总能适用。学好中文也不错。
2. 保持现状,是长痛,那无数的夜晚孤独的煎熬是对女人的折磨。我们戏称活寡妇。所以我说丈夫们是太自私。太忙总是可以找到办法,比如花钱请人帮忙。但孤独谁能解?而且起码14年你的孩子才能独立。14年后你能回中国吗?如不能, 就是一辈子。你婆婆也支持你老公的做法吗?如支持,那只能说他妈有毛病,太自私。过去的分居本身就是不人道的, 完全不能成为今天分居的理由。丈夫让你留在美国,剥夺了你的性权利, 是极其不人道的。他们父亲们连自己的儿子,老婆都不能保障,那个事业是什么事业?有什么意义?

当然,丈夫是这样的想法,真没必要为了他做什么决定,想想那样对自己最好,就那样吧。
windcat 回复 悄悄话 There are two groups of husbands when treating wife:

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 2: they believe the wife is the one to be used, to be depend on, and to be backup.

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.

回复 悄悄话 我花一点时间来解释一下为什么我认为wiserman这样的人很恐怖。

该不该回国遇到问题, 压力之下到网上求助。 我能理解她的心情。大家能给她一点鼓励就鼓励, 给点支持就支持, 有点实在的建议和思路最好。 这个叫帮人“排忧解难”。 这里的回帖虽然意见并不统一, 基本上都是走的这个路子。 而wiserman的回帖基本就是打棒子和扣帽子。可能他觉得发一通尖刻反驳, 把人的问题打发回去了就解决问题了。 这种做派很似从前某些国内领导对待农民问题:你闹个什么闹?国家这么困难你不替国家着想, 怎么这么自私?其实谁都知道, 国家困难可能是有的, 但是农民活不下去了更是事实。你想把担子都压到农民头上, 让他们自觉地闭嘴完事, 迟早逼农民起来造反。

“该不该回国”现在就是压力之大, 搞得有造反的心了。其实大部分的女性, 只要老公能表现得把家挂在心里, 哪怕只在嘴巴上多说点话,让老婆心里有点底, 老婆也都认帐,再怎么辛苦也跟着。 一般情况下,一个老婆只有对这个老公感到彻底绝望才会想到离婚。自然而然, 多半的人就会劝这个老婆多想点老公的好, 对老公建立信心, 另一方面劝老婆增强自立以免这个老公真的令人绝望。至于老婆具体选择怎么去做, 是老婆自己的事。别的人都替代不了。不管什么选择, 如果这个老婆最后觉得好, 我们替她感到欣慰, 如果这个老婆最后觉得不好, 我们替她扼腕兴叹。总之现在是这个老婆觉得痛苦, 而不是老公。

但是这个Wiserman呢, 上来就对这个老婆大打棒子。 先从她是“国内博士”打起。 我不清楚wiserman说“你这个博士白读了”, 是特指国内博士呢, 还是泛指一切博士。 姑且说是指国内博士, 那么Wiserman就给“国内博士”钉上了理想化的光环――既然是个“国内博士”, 就得精通人情世故, 就得读一些社会科学,人性,心理学...的书。

很有可能, wiserman自己是没有读过“国内博士”的, 所以才对“国内博士”有如此的高调想象。如果他读过, 就让人不得不怀疑他的学位很大部分是靠钻营得来的, 至少跟精通人情事故有关。 但更有可能, 他是没有读过海外博士的, 否则不会不知道在这儿拿个博士学位跟你是不是精通人情事故, 要不要读 社会科学,人性,心理学...的书可以完全没有关系。 当然, 就这样, 他也敢叫自己 “Wiserman”。 :)

他之所以拿“国内博士”开刀, 大概是想说你一旦精通人情世故了, 生活的压力和担忧就不成其为压力和担忧了, 这个老婆的抱怨就应该没有了。但事实上, 我们看到这个自认懂得人情世故的wiserman对 一个诉苦求助的帖子都容忍不了,就不难想象他在生活中遇到什么事后的反应, 以及他这办法能有什么实际可操作性。

果然, 他的1到9,一条条quote原文然后唱反调, 要说的就是:你看的是镜子这面, 我看的是镜子那面,我看的那一面比你这一面更重要!我无法看到他如何精通人情世故游刃有余地解决问题, 但我看到他的大棒子(“成事不足,败事有余”,“你的先生可能很后悔,呀!遇到这样的老婆”)以及跟原贴不符的指责(e.g., 3)。 这种一边儿倒的评议就跟针尖对麦芒的夫妻吵架没有实质不同,除掉指责对方并没有什么建设性意义, 不能让抱怨的问题消于无形。

他指责完了接下来要求: “你要心胸开阔,多为人着想”。这句话就是说: 你目前这样的抱怨是心胸狭隘, 自私的表现。wiserman在没有切实理解“该不该回国”的苦处, 没有分析她老公的问题, 只是要求她打包自己的痛苦自己扛, 不应烦扰违逆丈夫。这就跟压制农民问题的领导们没什么两样了。

他最后说离婚也可以, 但是竟然陡然引申到, “中国教育是失败的,人文教育太欠缺了!” 这样的上纲上线也太可怕了, 甚至超出了压制农民的领导们了。 “该不该回国”如果真离婚了就代表中国(对女性?)教育的失败的和人文教育的欠缺吗? 我实在觉得wiserman的言辞才代表了这样的问题。

有一些人, 缺乏对他人痛苦的基本尊重和关怀,自私, 冷酷。 不仅如此, 他们还要站尽道德的制高点来压制他人为己所用,且自以为是, 好为人师。这真就是让人感到非常的恐怖了。

自己想怎么活就怎么活,想那么多干什么!孩子在哪儿都会开心的,只要父母和睦,生活有保障就行。
若爱你的丈夫到了可以牺牲自己的份儿,就回国;不愿意的话,就留在美国,独立带孩子,也别那么多的抱怨。怨妇,没劲儿。自己都觉得没劲,是吧?
雪花漂飘 回复 悄悄话 fannie: Married or not? Good for a mother without any sex life in 2-3 months? What are the problem for our Chinese?
雪花漂飘 回复 悄悄话 扬子江酒店: 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.
雪花漂飘 回复 悄悄话 该不该回国: 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.
雪花漂飘 回复 悄悄话 该不该回国: 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: "他透露出孩子还是在美国好,他2-3个月回来一次。暑假我和孩子回国,这样我们全年在一起的时间也有5个月。还说我们回去的话,他要分心,不能更全心投入到他的事业中。". 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.

扬子江酒店 回复 悄悄话 依她的性格,回不回国最后可能都要离婚。可怜了小孩了。。。
雪花漂飘 回复 悄悄话 Wiserman: You are really too wise. You should not be in this forum.

该不该回国: 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 回复 悄悄话 这家人的问题不应到离婚这份上吧。
男的没说想离婚,也不是有了外遇。
女的若离了婚,还能嫁谁啊,日子会更好吗,对孩子会更好吗?
生活中的理解,妥协,隐忍和坚持非常重要,不要轻言放弃。

如果男人的梦想是回国创业,应该给他一次机会,不然他这辈子都觉得白活了。女方一人带两小孩,虽然辛苦,还是可以坚持的,一是这家人本来在美国就分居两地,女方一人带孩子, 二是美国单亲家庭不少,不是照样过。 有很多华人家庭就是这样的,男的国内创业,老婆孩子在美国,一家人两边跑,苦中有乐,过得也挺好的,犯不着全家都回去。

你这个博士是白读了!一点人情世故都不懂.请多读一些社会科学,人性,心理学...的书,对你大有帮助.

2) 引"...毕竟他们要在美国读大学"

3) 引"...我先生极力回国,在我的再三阻拦下仍然回去了...我现在都非...恨他的不负责任"

6) 引"...我想即使我们全家都回去后,遇到不开心的事情,我都要怪到他的头上。"

7) 引"...我心里最担心的是...他还是不想回美国的话..."

9) 引"...我真是很矛盾。唉!遇到这样的老公。。。"

---------------------------------------------------------
10) 你要心胸开阔,多为人着想,从不同的角度看事情,不要只认定一个观点.
11) 若和老公真的合不来,分就分吧!但是,记住"好来好往",不可成冤家.也要知道,离婚的后果,艰苦一段时间,以后是好是坏,未知数.
但是,怎么办都能活下去. 不过:
为了住在美国,把丈夫甩掉,可能只有现在的中国人会如此做;印度人在这方面,比中国人清醒多了!一位引度熟人曾对我说,"我们引度几乎没有美国非法移民."...住在美国和回印度对他们说都差不多,各有得失.
中国教育是失败的,人文教育太欠缺了!

偶然路过的人 回复 悄悄话
这个老公呀, 品质真够差.

如果真的想无所顾及的做好事业, 那就不要结婚. 捞了婚姻的好处, 该他负责了, 就不乐意了, 居然可以厚颜无耻到指责孩子拖累自己的事业, 人家孩子还没抱怨当爹的没本事, 五年都要靠当妈一个人的工资养孩子.

说到骨气, 这么男士就更有问题了. 没钱没事业的时候, 说啥是啥, 刚刚熬出点头, 就冲着老婆耍个性, 要自尊了.典型的小人嘴脸.
redwest 回复 悄悄话 好像不是孩子和家庭团圆的问题,而是夫妻感情的问题。先理清楚两个人的感情问题,感情好的话,在哪儿都行,要是感情不好,他的心不在你身上,你回国了,即使和他在一起,估计最后也是受伤害。

夫妻感情,能改善的尽量改善,实在不行了,就考虑开始自己的新生活。
JaneYu 回复 悄悄话 我觉得这个母亲应该好好考虑一下,到底是孩子在哪里念书重要还是家庭团聚重要。“儿女很喜欢美国”,孩子们在美国长大,自然说这样的话,但是不代表他们不会喜欢中国。而且在这位妈妈的眼里,去中国就是毁了儿女的前程,我觉得这个观点很奇怪,她和她先生不也是中国教育出来的吗?另外我隐隐感到这位母亲很enjoy控制她的先生,她说:“他一切事情都听我的,但最近3,4年,他工作后,和我的意见分歧的比较多。”男人也有自尊心,尊重男人自己的选择很重要。头几年他没办法,经济大权在你手里,所以已经“忍辱负重”很多年了,等到他有了经济收入,自然就想表现一下自己的能力啦。一家人,特别是有了小孩的一家人,最重要的就是一家团圆,我想这位母亲可以再考虑一下到底要怎么办。如果我对这么母亲有冒犯的地方,真的很抱歉,我知道你是一位好母亲,我如果对你有理解上的偏差,请不要生气,我真诚道歉。
windcat 回复 悄悄话 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:)

Caterpillar123 回复 悄悄话 Sorry I don't know if she is a good mother. But she is a fantastic babysitter for sure.
She has been talking a lot about US, GC, citizenship...Kids like US. No doubt because they grow up here. But remember, her husband and her are actually the parents of the kids, not the "US".

你说得很对。就是这么回事。有时人都爱把责任推给别人,我觉得“该不该”是个好女人,好母亲,但作为妻子呢?
Caterpillar123 回复 悄悄话 You have been making him a part time father for these many years and he does not think it is a big deal to be "laid off" at all.

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?...
