I believe you misunderstand me or I wasn't so explicit.
It is not about difficulties to "make a living".
It is about a clash of cultures and too many new things that needs to be faced actively in order to have a better insertion.
Several years ago, we had helped a lady, wife of a British man working in Romania. She was bored and she couldn't realize a purpose for herself.
She didn't understand Romania, she had no friends, not activity. She helped me a bit with my company, she was discussing with several clients of mine and eventually she started a job in one of my customer's company.
indeed, I am linear In my profession, I have an objective and I am enough content fulfilling this objective. This covers my needs for social activity, for networking, for professional development, and also offers me the confirmation, the recognition anyone needs.
I was assuming that my wife could just take her time to insert in this new culture, slowly, as she is not rushed by anything.
She seems to refuse to take her time, she wants all "here and now"
What I want to ask is the advice of a local housewife. How they make it? what is motivational for them? In our experience, housewifing is hardly an option, we don't know how to relate to this.
I hope I make it clearer, now.
