Svetlana ,

"could you please explain what exactly, besides your rich inner world, you can offer to a much younger girl? What have you accomplished in life, professionally and personally?"

It is exactly , this type of question , which is already setting the tone , in the beginning of a discussion.

And really , we all know ,how this discussion will end.It can go either of 2 ways.

If Hugo says : well I have not much money in my bank account and I live in a rented house.Then everybody will shout to the young(er) girl , you can find a better deal.

So , say thank you and run away!

But when Hugo has : a couple of millions on his bank account , has his own private jet , limousine and a big villa and some more houses in other countries , What would people say to this young girl ??

I bet that they would say something , that in the future would benefit , their own interests.

So , sure , they will tell the young girl to keep this man.While thinking , of what they can get out of it for themselves.

Oh , yes , people are people (as Depeche Mode did sing).
So , who is the real materialist here ??

Just out of curiousity , I see that you live in the US.Forgive me , if it will sound a little rude , but I will try to say this as respectful as can be.

Did your parents move over there and you were born there ?Or did you marry a somewhat rich American , who took you to his country ??

So , you did the math also , some time ago , yes!
I believe that it is up to the young girl , to make that decision.Instead of asking , what he can offer her.

The better question would be , to ask her : How do you feel , when you are with him ?Do you believe that you can spend your life , with this man ?

In many cases , we ( the ones with ALL the wisdom ), only see things in Black & White.This can also happen in a relation.
But in a relation , it is all about finding the middle of Black & White.

So , then , what do you get , when you mix Black & White ... ??
Right , so , the name of this book could have well been : 50 Shades of Mix Black & White

Many years ago , Paul Simon wrote this song : "50 ways to leave your lover"

I ask myself , if the author of the book : 50 Shades of Mix Black & White , took the number 50 , from that song ???

Ok , ok , I may be pushing it , just a little bit ...
But , it is not a bad thought , yes ??

I also have this record (it's a very catchy tune)

One day , I may be playing this record for my Slavic wife : 50 ways to leave your lover

And then I will explain to her , what this song is all about.

And then she will look at me , with a look from "50 Shades of Grey" ???????
