Russian Women :

I want to change myself. It´s been a hard time for me during the past two years and in this respect I desire to change something about me. The problem is I do not know what to start with. I need your advice.
Would it be a mistake to suppose that by changing yourself you mean to destroy some parts of your heart which were connected with something unpleasant in your past that you were unable to control? I think it is not the best ground for changing yourself! A change should not be a way to destroy or deny your personality; it should rather be a way to obtain new abilities and points of view. I suppose your new experiences have already changed you and I hope you would not allow these things to happen again. A dedicated attempt to change your personality cannot be an end of itself being rather a means to solve some urgent questions. What is the most urgent question for you now? What qualities do you think you lack for being able to solve it? I think the best thing to do will be to start changing yourself by running these qualities.

Why does he keep photos of his ex-girlfriend?
You know, in the city of St. Petersburg where I live there are a lot of monuments dedicated to Russian Tsars and Lenin Memorials. The reason why they are kept there is not for the desire to return to socialism or monarchy. They are particular pieces of our history and our past, without which there would be neither present nor future. Our life is a solid chain of events and each of them depends on the previous one. If there were not such a woman in the life of your partner I suppose there would neither be you. If you feel uncomfortable of the fact he looks at her photos in your presence you´d better just tell him about your feelings. But you should never ask him to throw them away since they are a part of his life.

I´m so tired... I could not stick it any longer...I knew that he was married, I knew that all this would end in nothing. But I believed it would not! I fell in love with him, so deeply I fell..It was he who made me secure, strong and self-sustained!!! But now it is all over. We stay colleagues; we stay friends, but not as sincere as we used to be. It is all over, but it hurts me so much! I need him...
Frankly speaking, I have no idea what to say. Of course, it is not the situation when anybody expects me to say anything. When one feels hurt it is only natural to let the feelings out. It is always painful when you lose someone and all your hopes and expectations go defeated. But I will take a risk of bringing anger of all married women down on me and try to give you a piece of advice as if I were not a psychologist. If you really love him you should stop crying and take the first step. Struggle for your love! You should evaluate your strong points and find the blind sides in their relations. There surely are some otherwise he would not let you so close to him. If it is only an insult that hurts you, then just try to calm down. You´d better bless him, wish him all happiness and try to get along without him

I gotta polyneuritis at 2.I can walk freely n've no prom operating computers n writing. i m indian, 22.So far i've achieved everything a normal guy achieves.I've a beautiful cousin, 18.She visits my place as 'caretaker'(if my parents r away.)i m moved by care she takes of me. i've loved her as a sis till now.my prom from some days is i've started fearing of losing her! i want 2 make her my valentine! She loves me i know but like a brother.on other side there's guilty in my mind that i m looking my own sis in such a way.m i wrong or right?will she sacrifice(i think she has a boyfriend..he's a real crap!!!)?if not how can i get out of this?
Family feelings and love between a man and a woman are different things, and you understand it very well. The relationship of your cousin with another man won't prevent her to love you as a brother. She won't leave you, it can be of course that the amount of time she can spend with you will be somewhat less. But trying to make her your valentine you stake everything: either she will be always with you or you will loose her forever. If your love to her is really sincere, you have a chance. But if you manipulate by high feelings to use her attention and care, she will try to avoid meetings with you. You won't manage to deceive her, she knows you too long and will easily see through lies.

Hi, Can you please answer a puzzling question, a lot of russian ladies I have spoken to wear a gold ring on their finger. Here in the UK it is a sign that she is married. Russian ladies say it is not marrage rings. What are they?
Look at the question from the logic side. The person, who wants to deceive somebody about their marital status, will most likely hide their wedding ring and won't demonstrate it.
According to Russian and Orthodox traditions, wedding rings are worn on the fourth finger of his right hand and not on the left as it is usually done in the West. Very often this causes misunderstanding. Besides, wedding ring in Russia has special form. Several tens of years ago it could be only even and smooth, made from yellow gold. In Russia now as a type of wedding ring couples are using rings made from metals and alloys of different colours and combinations. They can have a sculpted faceting and inserts from the small precious stones.However the circular shape remained traditional and unchanged фтвthe width of the ring remains constant around its circumference. All other rings and rings worn on other fingers do not tell in any way about marital status of its wearer. They are either just decorations, which Russian women like, or talismans, as for example a gold ring with a sign "Save and Keep", it is like a wedding ring very much.

she left me not because i had the accident with my motorbigle, but cause she did not love me. the trueth is that i had this accident because she wanted to leave me. now i feel terrible cause I think she has somebody knew. i wish i could find a solution because the love that i feel i is huge
Did you have an accident with your motorbike on purpose, trying to make a suicide, or were you just not enough careful because you were thinking about her?In any case, what you are writing about does not look like a strong feeling but more like a lawsuit. You think that you were hard hit by lack of love from her and want some compensation. People do not have to love each other, and she does not account for what happened to you. Even if she stays with you becuase of pity or blame, will you, as a loving man, be satisfied with it? Will it be a good responce to your huge feelings to her? Love is not demanded as a compensation , love is sought and love is won! Act!!! If you think, that nothing can be changed now, find strength and spirit to give up ineffective and dangerous attempts. Learn to live without her, making your love free for a new love!
