Good lord, another gem. You are proof that mere exposure to another culture does not have the power to squelch prejudice and chauvinism. How depressing.

To the person who wonders why people are so 'mean' to Gaijin, I can only speak for myself, but this is why. She's arrogant and racist and has the self-awareness of an earthworm.

Why are you so down on earthworms, Ibis? Earthworms never hurt nobody.

I could have told you your marriage wouldn't last just by reading the one line header in your bio.

At least she's getting out before they dragged any kids into this goshawful mess.
But unless you figure out where YOU shoulder some of the blame here, Gaijin, you will continue to find yourself in these bad life messes. Where are you and your choices at fault here? Figure that out and you'll have gained some valuable self-awareness from this.

This. A thousand times over.

Part of growing up is learning from your mistakes and how you can avoid them again. Part of doing that is figuring out what you did wrong. What's the saying? Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it? Yeah, that definitely applies here.

You don't marry somebody to find out if they are the one, you marry them BECAUSE they are the one. You don't marry somebody to see if you can stand living with them, you marry somebody because you cannot imagine life without them.

Wow, the girls on here are just plain mean. Who cares if what she did was right or wrong in your mind? Why the personal attacks? Do any of you really think it will do any good to attack a stranger and tell her what she should have done? Has that ever worked for any of you?

Either say, "go girl!" or shut the %$% up. You know, basically what our mothers taught us.

You go, girl. I'm sure it was a learning experience.

Yeah, you go girl. You did a great job! You married someone you spent 1 month with in person at the ripe old age of 18, moved to another country and refused to listen to any of us. You continued up until a fe weeks ago tell us how wonderful your marriage was, how supportive your family was, how MATURE you were(and different from most 18 year olds) and how you were going to prove us all wrong!!!

Actually the only people who need to shut the FOCK up are people who have no idea of the background of the story! probably another 18 year old!

Yeah, what a bunch of b!tches we are for not giving her a pat on the back for being a moron!

And yeah actually, some people NEED to hear the truth because they are otherwise surrounded by winners such as yourself who say "you go girl" in situations where that really doesn't do anything but encourage stupid behavior. You're the one who needs to "shut the %$% up." Because you've contributed nothing to this conversation but more idiocy. YOU GO GIRL, LOL!!!!

What did your parents think of you moving around the world to chase a silly dream?

Oh, they fully supported her because they knew how mature she was!

Um, anyone how thinks that this site and this board is a place for "you go girl" and the like clearly hasn't been here long.

People call it like they see it here, you'll get support in the fact that people are actually telling you what you need to hear.

Princess here hasn't been quite the delicate little flower. She refuses to learn that there is a lesson here. For her to wave off those comments pointing that out, just proves her immaturity and lack of self awareness.

I truly hope that you take that giant azz chip off your shoulder someday and realize that you are solely responsible for your own actions and learn from your mistakes.

I find it interesting that one month ago you attacked me for saying its not smart to marry at 19....because you claimed you were the perfect example of how it can work.

Any Japanese people here to call BS on this?

What did your parents think of you moving around the world to chase a silly dream? You're young enough for this to be a very valid question.

Gaijin, I'm sorry it didn't work out. I hope you will learn from this and use it as advice in the future.

How did STBX react when you told him you were leaving him? It sounds like he never cared about you as much as you cared about him.

Live and learn. And get some hardcore counseling when you get back to the States. And go back to college!

I also wouldn't date for a while, if I were you.
