It was obvious from your first post that you were reading someone else's correspondence, that's your business.

It's a shame that there are so many on this forum who do not know the language, use translators to get half the picture, conjure up the other half, and then offer up uncalled for advice, based on their own failures of course. Very Happy

Well it is true I didn't ask for any advice, so I guess it was "uncalled" for.

But I did ask for a translation. And that I got. So thanks! Razz

This is a guy I have been dating on and off for over a year. He used to live in Russia, so he speaks fluent Russian. We have had an "open" type relationship for a long time, but we also go through periods where we say we don't want to date others. Something always messes it up.

He is on a Russian dating site. For some reason, I can access it. I won't say how, but I am not breaking into it. I just click on it, and I go in. Maybe he never logs out of it, I don't know.

So I check to see who is conversing with. I run it through a translator, but sometimes I can't get the gist of things.

I know it is horrible I do this, but you should hear the lies he tells me. For instance, this Russian girl he will be meeting up with.... he tells me it is a male friend.

So.... why am I still seeing this person?

Love is strange.


Ok so really then the answers you want are really not the translation ones...You already knew what those are about. Ahh love...yes it can be so cruel and trust me I see the ills of it pop up here on way to russia pretty regularly...Well you know what to do and do not need me or Stephen B to restate it. But you need to give up on this guy and move on to the next love. We've all been there and lord knows I have...ahh so painful and I feel for you. Stop going to the site...take no interest and tell yourself this over and over. Move on..you will find Mr Right...and it will hit you like a MAC Truck...wham and you will be in love and the pain will hurt so good. Good luck and smile...the world is a much better place with your's contributing to our's Very Happy

Hmmm...everyone has failures in life...and translations help us all...

What's the difference if I'm on here trying to get translations to figure out if a guy is telling me the truth versus on here to try and romance some young Russian chick from one of those dating sites? I'm sure people are on here for all types of reasons.

At any rate, it gives me an incentive to learn Russian. Razz
