[QUOTE]Originally posted by **cat**: [QB] I hear what you are saying TL, BUT... I wouldn't hold out hope for the relationship working, because of her reasons for wanting to be there. If she was moving to Tanzania because she was an anthropologist who decided to live in a remote village, then perhaps yes, she would have more understanding of the realities of life in a tribal village. ok lets look at the reality, she said 'The cooking is very primitive too but I think I can cope. If not I'll come back to my washing machine and fully fitted kitchen in my comfortable house in Southampton.' She is thinking about the cooking? Take a look at the picture of the women in that village carrying heavy wood they have just chopped back to their villiage, probably miles, do they look happy to you? Cooking will be the least of her worries. She has gone there because a man showed her attention which she was probably finding hard to get in the UK, he made her feel desirable - after a day of living like these women, she wont be feeling so desirable. The expectations of women in many of these tribes are huge and physically demanding, in a way that the majority of western women could not believe. Its not uncommon for The women of the tribe to be the ones out cutting wood while the men spend time male bonding! And after that they will be looking after the children, the sick, the elderly, Milking the goats and cows, looking after the cattle, cooking dinner, educating the younger ones and making themselves look pretty for the man when he comes home. Usually women are not treated like princesses, its a hard old slog for them. So I would imagine she has been treated as a foreigner so far, not as a tribal wife. I'm sure its all very well she will live a life of romance and wild animals sleeping on nearby rocks, until the dust settles. And lets just hope then that we dont see a book entitled 'My Tribal Hell' appear on our bookshelves in a couple of years, as is the case with many Western womens ridiculous unthought out bad choices that they blame on someone else. ;) OK now you can kill me :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
