How to Understand & Help my wife adjust to UK

[Michael Parnham]

Yep, i can understand that too as i lived/worked in Munich in my younger days and longed for a sensible conversation with someone English. Funny thing is when i got back to the UK i found it difficult to speak English, sometimes using Deutchglish and confusing the hell out of everyone. I might also add i returned to the UK as homesickness got the better of me. A very strange thing that feeling of homesickness!

I know the feeling too!

Hi guys.
I guess this is more for the ladies who have left their home land and moved to UK with the husbands.

I really need to know what it feel likes for you to leave home and come here so I can understand and help my wife adjust later.

Please give me advise on what to do to make things easier.
How long does it take to adjust?
What Can I do to make her feel more like being home?
What can I do to support her in emotional times?

I really appreciate your advise here.

Many thanks
John

John, you are clearly a VERY thoughtful guy and that in itself will make your wife's adjustment easier. You have received some great advice here in this thread, much if which I practised myself when introducing my Filipina sister-in-law to the British way of life.

Wishing you both the VERY best of luck and happiness when she arrives
