When Your Russian Wife Gets to
America

You bring her home. When you pull into the
driveway, you proudly open up the car door and
invite her in to your house. You say to her, “Here
you are, honey. Your new home.”
She cautiously walks in the house. She inhales
shortly a couple of times. She wrinkles up her nose.
The house has got a funny smell to her.
You don’t notice anything. But to her, it’s full
of strange smells she can’t identify: It’s a
combination of leftover fast food wrappers, old
pizza boxes, dust, beer cans, and remnants from the
chip and dip that you and your friends consumed
while watching a football game.

You threw all those things away, but the odors are still
there.
It doesn’t smell like her house at home. It doesn’t
smell like a house with a woman living in it. It smells
like testosterone.
Your Furniture:
She looks at the furniture. Maybe it’s new. If so,
it’s probably something a guy would pick out, like heavy
leather or dark colors. Certainly nothing she would pick
out.
Maybe you were waiting for her to get here to buy new
furniture. Maybe you are still using the furniture you
picked up from your bachelor days, like the cement block
and board bookshelf. Or the post divorce furniture from
‘Rent to Own.’
No matter what, she isn’t going to like the furniture.
Because she didn’t pick it out.
My wife took one look at the seventy five year old house I
bought for her and said, “It’s old.”
Old Versus New:
The house was in excellent condition and had a lot of nice
appointments like glass door handles, high pitched, coved
ceilings, picture rails, and built in glass cabinets. In
her mind ‘old’ was synonymous with ‘bad.’
She liked the modern non-descript apartments her other
Russian friends lived in because they were ‘new’
rather than our house with lots of character because it
was ‘old.’
I spent all my money buying the house and bringing her to
America. Houses in California are expensive.
I had no time to think about the twenty-four windows in
the house without curtains. I was waiting for her to come
before I bought new furniture.
She said, “I feel like a fish in a fishbowl without
curtains. How can you live like this?”
I was starting to think about the seven hundred square
foot, one bedroom apartment she lived in back in Belarus.
There were two bedrooms in this house, an office, a large
living room and dining room, a fireplace, and plenty of
land.
In her mind, her apartment in Belarus was ‘better.’
Home Is Better:
The house I bought was previously owned by a widow who had
passed away. She had smoked about four packs of cigarettes
a day in the house for fifty years.
When they prepared the house for resale, they painted the
old walls without taking the nicotine stains off the old
paint first with TSP.
My wife took two sniffs when she walked in the house and
turned her nose up.
I explained to my wife that I had purchased the house from
a widow who had passed away, and that she smoked in the
house for many years. My wife took another sniff and said
she thought that they had left her in the house for a few
months after she had died.
Russian Superstitions:
She said she thought the house was haunted. I knew
Russians were superstitious, but I had no idea how
superstitious .
For several nights, she ‘saw’ the old lady in her
dreams. For months, she talked about the ‘ghosts’ in
the house.
My advice is don’t give your Russian fiancé any
ammunition to fuel her superstitions. Don’t mention
anyone dying. Don’t tell her any war stories about the
house, the car, the town, or the neighborhood. It’s like
telling ghost stories to four year olds before they go to
bed.
If I could change my story, I would tell her that “the
house was previously owned by nuns who burned votive
candles day and night while singing hymns and praying.”
Of course, knowing her as I do, she would not believe me.
She and her relatives can communicate with ‘the other
side.’ She would ‘know’ the truth.
Finally, after a few years, the smells and the ghosts have
gone away. There are new double pane windows and beautiful
window treatments in the house. She has decorated the
house to her liking. My wife finally likes ‘her’
house.
