It shows that all needs time often and it comes well in the end. But of course it doenst happen just so, but ppl have to work on it. Same with the LP fave I mentioned and Nik. It took her 3-4 years to free herself I think. Not sure she's hoarily with sb new meanwhile, didnt fellow up here. But for sure being alone is already much better for her!

May I ask you how long you lived in Russia and whether it was in one of the 2 big centres Piter or Moscow, netzer?
Sounds a bit like more of a province experience to me.
Or it was mid1990, the wild transition times.

Would you believe I actually did live in Russia for several months in early 90's, teaching English, I was only 23. & you're right it was provincial. I could've been fucking left right & centre, but two things stopped me: 1 - I had girl back home; 2 - I could see the ladies were giving same attention to other English teachers so I could see 'it wasn't me' but who they perceived me to represent. I always feel sorry for the Russian people when I think back... they'd give themselves away & they really believed with Gorbachov's 'bigness of spirit' Glasnost offering to end cold war, we'd help them out. But no, the west fucked them royally up the ass throughout 90's. Very heartbreaking...
The lady I spoke of I met in my own country, years later!
