Well said Michelle! I loved this article and also the comments everyone shared. I married a man from Macedonia this May. His ability to communicate has proven most effective as we have waited now nearly 6 months for him to move here with me (I am Canadian). As difficult as this lengthy process is, he and I speak daily either by phone or online and he continually makes me a priority in his life. He is unlike any man I have met and is truly amazing. Despite a few years age difference (I am older) he is more mature than any man his age I have met in North America by far! His values are strong, he is appreciative of everything, he knows how to treat a lady in every way, and he is truly my Prince. Thank you for sharing your stories ladies!

..i wll be honest with you …. maybe it will hurt you…but it’s true MABYE…have you asked yourslef “does he love me?!”…?…maybe he was married to you just to use you for something…you have to care about that…it’s difficult to see that when you are in love with somebody…but if he injured you it doesn’t mean that all Macedonian are the same…in every country you can find a jerk like him…btw i’m very colse to my family,but when i get marry…i don t wonna to live with my mom lol…i’m not crazy…she can come to me to visit me for a mounth MAX per year and that’s it(i don t wonna my mother bother my wife )…and i have a home education,i always help to my sisther with a dishes and i ll help to my future wife…DONT BE MAD AT BALKAN’S MENS …i hope you will find some good husband and have a big family with him…

Interesting post.
I am a canadian woman and personally I have had a very bad experience with my Macedonan husband who I met in Toronto.After experiencing the immense torture and physical and mental abuse ,I couldn’t take it any lo ger and had to call the police on him.After my experience with him I thought all Macedonian men were like that.But I was probably very clouded by my sufferings.After reading your article it’s still hard for me to believe that there are some very nice Macedonians.I know I shouldnt judge a whole country by one bad person.
I respect the fact that Macedonians are very close to their families but my husband and his mothers behavior was the most unimaginable that anyone can think of .Last year she came to visiti us for 6 months.I was shocked to see that she was behaving more like his wife than his mother.My husband left his job and stayed home to give company to his mother ,even though we had recently bought a house.I was the one who was working while he stayed home giving comany to his mother for six months.All day the mother and son used to be together a d when I would come home at night and we had our dinner together and watched some tv,I would then expect his mom to go in her bedroom at 10 pm so I could have some alone time with my husband for at least an hour to our selves.But she never moved from the couch till 2am at night.she would lay down on one end of the couch and my husband on the other end till 2am at night.And then they would wake up in the morning and still be together smoking and drinking coffe for at least two hour in the valcony by themselves.I just couldn’t u derstand this behavior of the mother and son.I did talk to my husband about this and he said to me” she’s my mother and she can do what she wants, and I will never tell her anything”. I was more shoocked by his mothers behavior that he bei g a woman pretended to not understand my concerns.When I spoke to her daughter in Macedinia about this on the phone,and she passed on the message about this to her mother, can you imagine what she did? She became even more worse than ever.
Now a few months ago my husband told me that he wants to bring his mother to Canada and live with us for ever , and when I refused,he said to me ” I can replace you anytime but my mother will always be my mother”.
And just to mention that we did have a cover satin before marriage and he asked me if I would be ok to live with his mother. I had told him at that time that his mother would be welcome to come visit us for 2-3 months in a year but I would not live with her forever.at that time he said to me ” who lives with the inlays these days ” and that it wasn’t a problem for him. And now when I remind him of that he tells me”I don’t know what you’re talking about” . Also his mother is a very healthy 60 year old woman and not that he needs to be taken care of.
And not just that,I have always been the best I could ,worked outside and done all the do estic chores also only by myself. My husband never helped me ith anything. he would never even pick up his dishes from the dining table hafter we finished eating food.He never respected me,was always screaming and yelling for no reason and was the most uncultured and uncivilized beast I’ve ever come across in my life.

Oh Sasa!!! Talking about Balkan men…I heard an interview of Madona on MTV. It was about her sex experiences…Her best sex experience had been with an Albanian from New York City. She had seen numerous blacks and whites, different sizes but the experience with the Albanian had been unforgettable. She said she was heartbroken because the Albanian guy got married with a girl from his country regardless the great, great sex. English she said are horrible. Tasteless. And you Sasa have missed that part. They have the sweetest sex ever, unbeatable….As for the rest I agree with you.

Maria… Don’t me confused. As many times in my 2 post you can see that I mentonied that the Balkan mens LOVE their half to can cook..when I read what he asked you, it mean that he looks in you as potential half for him.
If you not see this in Balkan men…just the ”european things” how is in other sides of Europe are in his head already. Just the Balkan mens are very diferent than the Mens in all other European areas. If he is with you as everybody (for u he looks as everybody when comunicate) it mean that he just do it cause ”should” if he want to adapt to the atmosphere..and usually the atmosphere is very diferent than in Balkans…i mean the psichyc of the peoples is very diferent.
He asked you about did you can make him dinner….well, you can be 100000% sure that this is very very very big compliment here in the Balkans. You can be sure that you met with real Balkan men..I mean not actor or he to try to be somebody who he is not. Just whatever you choose to do with him, you can be sure that he is himself…wich mean he will be easy to be explored by you..but you will explore him long time and many things in him.
