What’s the point of all these “foreign bride” questions?

TERA asked:


Does anyone really care if someone else wants to marry a foreigner?

I’m just curious.
Do you really think you’re safer from “being abused” marrying a foreign person? After all, people are people, no matter where they come from. There are “abusive” personalities born to every nation. Choosing someone outside of the US does not guarantee that your relationship will be blissful. If you’re looking for a submissive personality, this also does not guarantee your relationship will be just as you ideally imagine it.

Your thoughts?
I hear some of you saying that you’re looking to foreign women to make you happy. Is it wise to put your happiness (and the responsibility for it) solely onto someone else’s shoulders? What about creating happiness for yourself, and sharing it then, with someone else? Is it right to define a relationship as being one where you are always the center of it, and someone else is always the giver or the sacrificer?
Personally, it doesn’t bother me a bit who one chooses to marry, or where that person comes from. What I’m addressing here are unrealistic expectations, fallacies of thought, entitlement issues, and self-centeredness. I feel sorry for any woman with whom the burden of someone else’s happiness is given. It can be a heavy weight for anyone to carry.
