Sorry if this is off topic, but is it just me or is this post a little offensive?
- Nursing is a truly noble choice of profession and only the ones who really have it in them to work hard in school and continue to work hard in their careers can be successful as nurses
.
True, in western countries, nurses have a very successful career but really i was talking from Pakistani perspective.... how many people in Pak (in our circles atleast as middle class educated tabqa) like their children to become nurses..?
- Seriously? Hubby's money? Marriage is a two-way relationship. Hubby wouldn't have had any money if it weren't for a good wife, regardless of visa status! So how is it not the wife's money as well?
.
Eventually ofcourse it becomes theirs but you get my point... the money that their husbands go out and earn for their wives to spend... lol
- Better wives? You mean better looking wives. There's a very big difference. And I'm pretty sure they found extremely good wives, since (as you said) they've been happily married for many years, and are living successful lives!
By better, again look at it from Pakistani rishta aunties perspective... good looks, good family, social status, education, etc. etc... But again thats from outsiders looking in... like saying wow this guy could have done much better than his wife and all... but like i said, they seem to be doing very well and happy with each other.
i just wanted to make a point from what i know within my family to OP, that some really good marriages have gone through for the girls who had US citizenship and who most likely would not have had chances with guys like that otherwise. No offense to anyone!
