guys the answer to happiness in colombia, is to NEVER NEVER get married.
Keep in mind, not only do you get her, but every single memeber of her family and friends.
When they start talking about marriage, change your phone number and move.
I plan to have a stabbin cabin in barranquilla, but to get invited to my apt all broads have to gte blindfolded so they wont know where the fok i live..

over 5 million colombianos in USA and only 27 barranquilleros, i'm one. CURRAMBA, EL MEJOR VIVIDERO DEL MUNDO!

3rd time no charm for me and I sure hope that I've learned that it should be my last. 1 Gringa, 1 Japanese and now 1 Colombiana. I need a labotomy in the part of my brain that keeps making this same mistake. I'm not good marriage material.

So basically it is marriage in general...Has nothing to do with Colombia, United States or other countries where you meet somebody..

Again I like to stress marriage can fail anywhere married to a gringa,latina,asian, any girl..I think United States has one of the highest divorce rates..

So being married to Colomibana or a Gringa both marriages can fail.. There is no difference..

America, UK and western Europe divorce rates are all very high (50% ). Heard Spain divorce rate now is like 80% somewhere. When I lived in Scandanavia learned most couples do not marry at all, only like 1/3 ever do and many kids are born out of wedlock and accepted by society up there. Must be that old Viking heritage or they learned a long time ago the probabilities of marriage working out are not all that good.

Think a lot of our western culture marriage woes are because our societies are becoming more and more advanced, secular and with overly strong (almost militant) feminist movements. It's funny when I heard on O'Reilly about these new dike gangs that tote pink pistols (jajaja). Little off the subject but too funny, unless I get offed by one.

Had friends who cheated on their wives and whose wives cheated on them and not any nationalities in particular either. Gringo with 4 kids with Filipina cheated on her and she left him, another who married a Filipina (worker lady what should he have expected) who carried two beepers and something else that she passed on to him (Herpes Simplex 14), a gringo whose gringa wronged him etc.....

Think marriage only really works out is when both partners are at least moderately religious (have some type of spiritual values). Otherwise what is to stop someone from cheating on their partner if they don't feel any remorse or sorrow for hurting another? Not always it works out but I think more than without any spiirt.

Life is really wonderful isn't it?

get down, get down. are you afraid of the boogie monster?

But a marraige between a Colombiana and a Gringo stands a better chance in Colombia than it does in the U.S.

Elmo, You want them to know where you live. It's kind of nice being awakened from a nap by the house phone telling you that an amiga con derechos is here. And they can bring their cousins and sisters over to play. I have had a chance to enjoy some very nice young ladies this way.

And, if you wish, just say that you are busy. I let all of my amigas know that I like to entertain and that I like to be alone at times.

Arthur, though no statistics cited, I agree with you that there are better odds of the gringo and Colombiana staying married in Colombia than in the US. Many reasons why that makes sense when you think about it.

RussianFred, people do what they want to do. There is no way to stop anyone from doing anything. I've seen people try to talk to people till they are blue in the face about this advice and that advice. In the end, people have already made up their mine long before. Either a man or woman cheats or they don't.

They'll have strong convictions either way and will be able to justify their actions and sleep well at night.

So, we all might as well decide what limits we are willing to bear and just be happy. IMHO

My first wife was a selfish b..ch. Been married to my colombiano wife now just over a year...together 3 and half years and we are both very happy and i think lucky.
I believe maintaining a good relationship takes work...even then it probably does,nt work out much of the time.I consider my wifes happiness important and at the same time i know that her now bieng in a new country (canada) it may be even more difficult to have a successful relationship due to differences in life style etc...
Maintaining her family ties is important...so its a sure bet we visit colombia once or twice a year and spend time with her family.Im also trying to bring some of her family her for work in my business.I believe in her and she believes in me and as things stand now niether of us are interested in cheating on the other...That happens when people are no longer happy in there relationship....when i see my colombiano wife wondering through the house happily singing and smiling every day i know she feels good.Happiness is what matters and the only thing that keeps people together.We have never really had much in the way of conflicts between each other...can,t expain why other than to say we are both easy going and not quick to anger and that im there to support her if she has a problem of any sort.
Will all this last?...we both want it to but people often do change over time...in order for it to last it means to strive to keep the other person happy in the relationship.
