Discussion: I married a beautiful Eastern European on an online matchmaking site and faced huge disappointment.

The problem is that you have created unrealistic expectations about a relationship that is not emotional but essentially economic—the size of the viewing, the greater the disappointment. In a marriage of convenience, the financial question is critical. Sometimes, the woman's family is involved because the funds are intended to support the woman's family.

Matchmaking sites with foreign women, which promise beautiful, young women interested in marriage, exist in abundance. It is a marriage of convenience in which the man provides the woman with an immigration visa, money, and financial security. The man believes he has found the woman of his dreams, a young beauty who promises him pampering and free sex. A marriage of convenience is without an emotional basis, so once better possibilities exist, the relationship may shatter and leave the man broken! Because of a false illusion.
