Valentina, you have an intercultural relationship now. In your opinion, what is the difference between Ukrainian men and American men? Are they really very different? Is a relationship with a Western man different than with a Ukrainian one?
Valentina
Yes, the difference is very large. We must have a lot of patience to take a different culture … No bad culture … They are just different … We must take it to be able to live together with someone you love. I have a lot to lose forever … My mom, sister, all friends, life … Will I lose my tongue, my songs, my city where I lived all my life. My lawyer also higher education will mean nothing in America.
My second chemist education – analytics, too … But I think that living with a loved and trusted man is worth all the losses. I want to be happy and want to give happiness to this man. He deserves it.

You are going to the USA soon. Your new life in a Western world will start just in a few months. America is a great country with huge opportunities. How do you prepare for a new life there? As we know, America has another culture, traditions, customs, and language.
Valentina
Krystyna, America is a lot of excitement. I like the idea that a man loves me, who stares at me. He is a kind and gentle man with a very large heart. Possibilities are endless for him and I honor him and treat him with great respect. I will protect him and give him his soul. James is the best person on this planet. I am so blessed to have found such a man in my life. I will learn his customs and honor his wishes. He is an experienced chef, what a wonderful man whom I found; it is fate, to be sure. I love him and he loves me, I thank God for His blessings, James, my husband.
I mean, I find it very difficult to express their feelings in words. James is very good to express your thoughts to me. I love him with all my heart.
Krystyna
