One of my friends got married to a Colombian girl in May 2007. She is 27 and he is 55 years old. She came to the USA in August 2007 on a student visa. I was not surprised that they broke up last month. However I was shocked at the reason. This girl really loves him, the age diiference was not a problem. They broke up because she had a difficult time adjusting to the American culture. She complained about his long hours working and exercising. She also discovered that she was not "white". They faced a great deal of age and racial discrimination. It is sad that many places in America had a problem with them being a couple. Maybe he would have been better living in Miami.

Robert Jorge says on Oct 13, 2007, 21:14: If she "really loved him", then she wouldn't break up with him over work hours. That's what people that are married do, they work things out. He who farts in church, sits in his own pew. 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

morphus says on Oct 14, 2007, 11:23: Better story than the guy I know here in New York. He married a pre-pago he met in Cartagena. She beats him up and takes all his money. She spits on him and calls him a dog. He did a lot for her. He bought her a $7000 diamond ring and sends her family money. He even brought her 7 year old son to the U.S. He's the son of a sex monger I believe. He probably even saved her from catching a disease. She used to let gringos have bareback sex with her and then call them in the U.S. saying she was pregnant so they would send money for an abortion.

Robert Jorge says on Oct 14, 2007, 16:37: I am really starting to believe there is no greater risk of a relationship breaking up if it is a gringo with a Colombiana than gringo / gringa. Throughout the last 2 years, I have made a point to chit-chat with anybody who is obviously Latino when I am at work or out. I have met several, maybe 20 married couples where the hubby is gringo, the wife is Colombian. I have yet to meet a "single" Colombiana here ... but that's just my take in my own little corner of the world. Actually, I know one single Colombiana here. She broke up with her long-time boyfriend / father of her baby - a Colombiano. He who farts in church, sits in his own pew. 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

I should call the marriage off, this is a setup. Well maybe not I am having fun!!!

Colombiche says on Oct 16, 2007, 16:00: I agree with Rubito that most colombian immigrants head to the US or Canada for economic reasons ($$$$). Many don't fare so well, but many do. Let's face it. Colombia is a beautiful country but the main reason for the outflow is that professionals there are not making enough money. You have tons of supereducated colombians between the mid 20's and late 40's just leaving Colombia because the professional salaries in Colombia are pathetic. . We never really left colombia because we didn't love our homeland or because we'd rather be up here freezing our puchecas. To be honest, I had a very decent existence back home. We never really thought this was paradise, it's just a matter of what is more convenient for you at the moment, where you have opportunities ($$$$), a couple of family connections and the freedom to set up a business if you have half a brain.
