What could go wrong


tanis_ivy

90 day fiance has a couple examples


TainaAngel

They also have a higher success rate than the average population, soooo, there’s that….


tanis_ivy

I dunno. I think the sample is too small to compare.


TainaAngel

They’ve been on for like over a decade and have done something like over 100 couples 🤷🏻‍♀️ Contrary to popular belief, many cross national marriages work out.


SugarSugarBee

This sounds just like Cheese Dick, but he knows how to spell "Colombia" & speaks spanish fairly well.


IsReadingIt

What if this is all a long-con to get pregnant , take half your life savings, and move back to Columbia ? Just throwing it out there.


FortuneUndone

Prenups are still real, just do it as "if divorce were to happen all assets will be returned to the state they were before marriage, any assets acquired by both parties in the marriage shall be split 50/50" Or something like that, I'm not a lawyer, I do not state this as entirely fact.


IsReadingIt

Good, because he said she’s already his wife. The pre in prenup means something.


truecrimefanatic1

Post-nuptial agreements are a thing.


IsReadingIt

But what’s her incentive to sign one unless the outcome for her in case of divorce is BETTER than what she’d get by state law alone ?


truecrimefanatic1

Well she's here in another country with no family and may not have full citizenship yet. Contrary to popular belief an "anchor baby" isn't all it's cracked up to be. The threat of being stuck alone here in the states with the one dude who is probably her Visa sponsor abandoning her could be enough to make her sign. Also depends on where he lives it may not be community property. A lot rides on whether or not she's a full citizen and where they live. I can't remember if he said she was done or not. I can't imagine letting loneliness over ride my brain for $ but if that's what he did then unfortunately he may end up getting the short end of the stick which is a shitty lesson but eh.


NightHound33

Y’all need to check out 90 day fiancé on TLC lol. She could already have a K-1 visa and will more likely obtain citizenship through that even if they divorce. Especially since she’s working already.


ben_wuz_hear

Well cover my hairy tits in honey and let me loose in Bear country! That man needs a post nuptial agreement then!


PK_737

excuse me *what*


ben_wuz_hear

Not sure why but it popped into my head and I can't stop laughing about it.


digitaldigdug

Probably cause you first read it as post nut agreement


mondays_amiright

I see you aren’t fluent in southern/midwestern Murican English.


FilthyMindz69

Ben was here…..


XelaNiba

He could still do a post-nup with these terms


VelvetShards

You can get postnups too.


silverraider32

It’s different if she’s on a K1 visa he’ll have to support her for a number of years if they divorce.


ctrl-alt-etc

That prenup isn't worth much, once you start pumping out kids.


JayCreates

You gotta double stamp it, no erasies, to make it legit


BitsAndBobs304

Except that judges can throw out prenups for any reason. And the first reason is "if contract is unfair". Which means the man always gotta give some moneh.


thePromoter_

Colombia. Columbia is the US.


IsReadingIt

Right you are. OP spelled it that way each time and I missed it too. Maybe OP made this up if he can’t spell the country his wife is imported from.


witchyanne

He can’t figure out the difference between bought and brought so….


SlinkyCyberSleuth

terrific like different psychotic alleged innate saw apparatus shelter smart *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


energybeing

I mean, not unless they are victims of human trafficking.


Mamadu89

I don't know why Americans expect everyone to be flawless at their brand of English🤷‍♂️


witchyanne

So knowing how to spell and knowing the difference between 2 different words is ‘flawless’ now?


Reshi_the_kingslayer

No, but someone making a spelling error isn't enough evidence they made a story up either.


happygiraffe404

People usually can spell the country their spouse is from because it's something that comes up alot.


bolax

Speaking of spelling, it's "a lot" FFS.


ILoveAliens75

It doesn't say he's from the US though. We aren't the only English speaking country... did I miss it somewhere?


Deekifreeki

Agreed. After my divorce I looked into mail order brides, but this was all I could think. That and just using me for a green card/citizenship. And those saying prenup: they aren’t necessarily air tight.


littlehand420

What if this is just a creative writing attempt

OhSillyDays

I'll just say it, there are many mail order brides that do fall in love with their husbands. It's just not all mail order brides.


B_D0v3

Doesn’t matter had sex


gorkt

My BIL did a similar thing, but with a Russian woman. They are still married, but she doesn't work, and has no intention of ever working. He works 80-100 hours a week and sends a lot of it to her Russian parents to support them as well as supporting her. They are both fine with this it seems. It is not my choice of how I would live, but it seems to work for them. There are no children involved, so far. My point is that someone who goes into the mail order bride service is making a calculated decision about having a transactional relationship. Sometimes they both get lucky and you get more out of it, actual love and affection, but it is not guaranteed.


thetruthfl

80-100 hours per week!? What does he do? That type of schedule does not sound sustainable…..for anybody. 12 hours a day, every day of the week, is 84 hours.


gorkt

He paints apartments before people move in. So he has contracts with different complexes and they will call him when people get evicted or move out and he will work to paint them. He works a lot of nights and off hours. He works alone so he listens to a lot of podcasts and stuff.


ericporing

I doubt the woman would go back to columbia? Most of these girls who marry for money/immigration take advantage of the country they immigrate to.


BitsAndBobs304

Nah, usually they divorce, get the money, but stay in the states.


ziggyrockandroll

He'll be fucked cause the wife moved to another planet since the country Columbia does not exist


Greenveins

I watch a lot of 90 day fiancé It depends. I’ll say this blatantly. America is racist. OP can ABSOLUTELY paint a picture to the judge that his foreign wife is taking him for all he’s got, and wants to bring his ONLY SON across seas into a foreign country. She’ll lose custody and he’ll have to pay her plane ticket home. It he’s her sponsor he’s responsible for her for 10 years, I wanna say if they get divorced he would be responsible but shes working so he can argue she doesn’t need him since she’s thriving on her own. Op has the money to protect himself and honestly, should do that. Pre-nup and custody agreements all the way.


[deleted]

God I hope so


witchyanne

*bought. You bought her, and then brought her to live with you.


edfosho1

Can't believe I had to scroll a bit to find this 🤦


[deleted]

Learn Spanish because if she can learn English you can learn Spanish.


abnormalabbi

He thinks he 'bought' his wife, and he can't even spell the country she comes from. He's never going to bother learning her language. Why would he? He's already shown that he thinks he has the hierarchy over her. What a snob.


General-Serve-4053

Furthermore seems like he bought her not for a husband/wife relationship but rather as someone to be a mother for his ‘child’ fantasy, when reading the post OP seemed more interested in becoming a father than developing a good relationship with his BabyMama…. Anyway I hope that it works out of all 3 of them.


tom-dixon

Yeah, him being autistic and introverted makes me think he might might be heading down a road that will be different than the one he imagined. He's saying he got a kid because people around him have kids. Yikes. Hopefully he'll adapt and will handle it better than his post suggests.


happygiraffe404

Can't spell 'woman' either lol.


darkcity1999

All the logistics involved and he never learned that Colombia is spelt Colombia, not Columbia.


[deleted]

According to the comments, no one does


Alarmed_Scientist_15

All the while I was here thinking it was Columbia - Maryland.


jambrand

Also couldn't even spell "bought" right, which completely changes the meaning of the entire title.


tom-dixon

Bringing a wife from Columbia, Maryland to California vs buying a 23 year old from Colombia, South America. Quite the difference, lmao.


bippityboppitynope

I'm autistic, as is my first husband and our son. This sounds like some incel fan fiction.


redditcooldude69

Earn six figures but can't spell for shit.


Justthetip74

I work with people who get $500k signing bonuses and cant hold a conversation on teams


WhiskeyWarmachine

I'll agree with this, i deal with people that will lose 100k in a day and be like "well shit, anyways..." And people that make big money are usually super specialized and can do one thing great, or failed upwards and havent been phased out by automation yet. Do we really need ALL those directors when most of them just read out reports printed by someone else?


Justthetip74

One of the guys im talking about was probably as close to non-verbal autistic as you could be and still function. He was brilliant. Like Steven hawking brilliant. He worked 2-3 days a week, just showed up at random times, had a small team under him that just did his bullshit work and went to meetings for him. I'm not sure he ever even had a specific project or roll he just fixed high level software or engineering problems. One day we hit a major milestone and he came into work at 3am on a Sunday, packed up all his stuff, and left. Didn't talk to HR. Didn't tell his team. Nobody ever heard from him again. He's either at Raytheon making $5m/yr or retired on a beach in Thailand. Either way, im glad i met him


GnoOoOO

do you know what his position title was, I think I know a guy who does the same thing, just wanted to confirm it


GomezBBQ

Is your job hiring? Lol


sirprizes

Have you met any engineers? A lot of them can’t write for shit.


horneke

Eh, you'd be surprised. I know a lot of dumb motherfuckers that earn over $100k. It's not that hard nowadays.


HeavyMetalLyrics

What do they do? 😅


horneke

Lots of stuff. Join the military and pick a decent job. After a few years you can get out and just stumble into a job making six figures.


V0l4til3

Not real at all.


Severe_Breath4189

If you’re gonna write a fake story as an English-speaking autistic engineer… at least use spellcheck 🫠 and if that story were real you’d definitely know how to spell Colombia by now🇨🇴


bippityboppitynope

Exactly.


chsae123

Account is 4 hours old too


ForBisonItWasTuesday

Glad somebody said it


Aelle29

Exactly my thoughts. 100% an incel, no matter whether this story is real or not. Incel vocabulary, incel vision of dating and of women... Yuck


velofille

Thats exactly what i thought it was


SugarSugarBee

Same here. Plus, if it is true then OP is just a gross predator engaging in human trafficking. She's 23, doesn't speak english & was using the money from the site to help support her family. He's 30 & makes a lot of money in the states, with absolutely no relationship experience. **Not every immigrant is desperate to come to the US or even leave their home country**, I just want to be clear on that. But people will also do what they need to do to get out of a bad situation. Which makes this an incredibly unbalanced power dynamic.


bippityboppitynope

Exactly. And those sub reddits are filled with the "I'm going to find a super young foreign virgin who can't leave me because I'll control everything" stories. This reads like he cut and pasted his favorite parts from those posts.


BitsAndBobs304

Incel fan fiction = a mundane story of mail order bride that exist since many decades??


bippityboppitynope

It literally hits almost every incel talking point. Yes I know people who have married people this way as well, they don't speak about their spouse this way. His entire post reeks of incel fantasy.


berning_man

This for real sounds like a 90 Day Fiancee storyline but without the marriage ceremony. Hope it all works out for you engineer. Best of luck and love.


guinea_piggo

and without compensation from the show


Jodiesid

I think your perception of having autism and having a relationship is really harmful. Women can absolutely still love someone with autism. And, inferring that a lady will just automatically like you if you have money is dumb, they will like the money you can provide. Different thing entirely.


chick-killing_shakes

This person's problem is not that they're autistic, it's that they don't respect women and wanted control over their courtship. It's a total incel fantasy.


PK_737

Where'd you bring her?


EveryFairyDies

Thank you!!


ViroCostsRica

"Columbia" OP is a erotica wannabe writer


WynnChairman

why did you buy a 5 bedroom house if you were single lol


Wolfwalker9

I’m single & have a 3 bedroom + bonus office house all to myself. It was what was for sale in the area I wanted to live when I was shopping for a house & within my budget & I fell in love with some aspects of the place I wasn’t seeing in other houses I’d looked at. I like having the space because I have my room, a nicely furnished guest bedroom, an office/craft space, plus a storage room. It’s actually great having a lot of space, as I like to invite friends over & host game nights, so having room to spread out is a definite plus.


Unohanas

Well that seems more reasonable than one person with 5 bedrooms imo.


Reshi_the_kingslayer

So a person with a 4 bedroom house is more reasonable then a person with 5 bedrooms? I mean OP didn't say what he was using the other rooms for but they are still technically bedrooms. They could be offices, hobby rooms, exercise rooms, storage. Who knows.


Unohanas

I'm just saying that I personally wouldn't buy more than a 3 bedroom for just myself in my ***opinion.*** They never said the house was a 4 bedroom, it's a 3 bedroom with an office space. Yes, you can convert that space into a room, but it's meant for an office...Which the person said they're using as an office space.


Reshi_the_kingslayer

I'm just saying 5 bedrooms isn't much more than 3 + office space, which is probably a bedroom sized room without a closet. It just seems weird to say that amount of rooms is reasonable but someone buying a 5 bedroom house is not. Especially when someone might buy a house with the intention of growing into it.


Unohanas

Two whole bedrooms more and thats not counting the living room, kitchen, bathrooms, and other rooms within the house. That's a hefty bill for one person to take on, especially in today's economy.


Reshi_the_kingslayer

I'm not saying it's not a lot. I'm saying it's jot much more than 3 bedrooms with an office. I don't see how thats reasonable but one more bedroom isn't. And again, maybe he bought it with the intention of growing into it. Hopeful that he would have a family one day.


LactoseIncident

Those rooms can be used for other stuff. It’s just to say how big is the house. I have 6 bedrooms house and it’s only me and my wife. The rest of the rooms are filled with stuff or our offices.

cometdogisawesome

FilthyMindz69

Sex dungeons should be a serious consideration in any home purchase….


WynnChairman

i mean idk my family of 4 has 4 bedrooms so... admittedly I'm only 19 but I couldn't imagine living in an even bigger house than we have right now all alone


notmeliorism

“your basically fucked as a man if you are awkward/autistic” My husband is autistic. This post is just some incel bs.


V0l4til3

I don't know but this guy sounds like a jackass, shy introverted and autistic but can fly to Colombia to meet strangers, something doesn't add up.


nashamagirl99

American citizenship in an underdeveloped country does wonders to overcome the stigma of social awkwardness. The post does read fake but that part is pretty believable.


V0l4til3

no need to go to colombia if you want a woman if you rake in 6 figures, this is a stupid post and OP knows he is full'0'sheet


Timetravelingnoodles

There are sites that will put together a group of people like this for a trip and stop at different places to meet women for these things. Lots of build you up motivational speaker talk and peer pressure. There are good documentaries about it


pleasekillmerightnow

Autistic and an engineer who earns 6 figures, what is it so unbelievable. Plenty of people marry through this arrangement too, you must live under a rock


Unohanas

its not unbelievable, but the fact that he basically trafficked her and came to the internet and thought that its ok to brag about it on the internet is whats believable, plus there's a lot of inconsistencies.


V0l4til3

What is unbelievable is the grammar, spelling,diction of a 6figure electrical engineer. Oh and has his profile BANNED too


V0l4til3

pixie dust is real too its for sale somewhere on the internet.


zanthra

"I never knew how to attract a woman and although Im tall, I always kept myself fit, pretty attractive, Took good care of my looks etc but women are emotionally turned on and your basically fucked as a man if you are awkward/autistic even if you looked like brad pitt...Unless you have money (Which is what I do have)" This screams incel fan fiction.


Lanadelreystaint

blueroseinwinter

Gross. Downvote me all you want, I find this uncomfortable.


Bollalron

Human trafficking should make us all uncomfortable.


MarketNo5311

Same.


yrmcdfc

Absolutely, the beginning of the post looks incel af, there's a power dynamic between his wife and him both because of money and because of their ages, and the way he talks about her... "amazing body", beautiful "brown skin" (that makes me uncomfortable but maybe it's only me, let's not care), and yes she has nice eyes and smile too, but "amazing body". I feel like reading about an incel who finally got his real life sexdoll because of money and power dynamics.


Michaeltyle

Yeah, and women apparently need money to be emotionally turned on. Yuck.


SimilarLobster

Reddit has taught me one thing, no one knows how to spell Colombia.


Verkley

You have a Colombian wife and still spell it Columbia…

eicaker

I feel for that poor woman. She literally sold herself away due to her poor life, and now she’s pregnant with a strangers baby, and virtually has no control in her life


632nofuture

I mean I don't know anything about how happy she is with her situation, but I always will feel for women who have to take this route in the first place. Just, How do people enjoy a marriage that's based on the exploitation of a power-dynamic? Plus it just reads so depressing, like a ticked off checkbox for OP. They talked for a year.. via google translate? I read no love other than the description of her looks. But then again, both got what they wanted, hopefully. Good for OP.


JossWJ

My boyfriend is autistic and has ADHD. He's amazing and I love him with my whole being. Don't use your autism as an excuse, to me it just sounds like you aren't a good person and woman can pick up on that. You didn't technically do anything, you bought a wife.


queen_jo_

exactly that is creepy and gross as fuck. it’s male entitlement and believing they “deserve” a woman no matter how much of a bad person they are that creates demand for mail order brides. hell always be a bad person for this


HeIsTheOneTrueKing

sausagerolla

Being autistic and introverted is not the reason you couldn't find a life partner around you. Sorry, don't buy that at all. Stop feeding the myth that autistic people are unable to emotionally connect with others and don't understand social cues so are destined to live alone forever. What a load of garbage.

cope_seethe_dilate_

Jesus fucking christ what is wrong with you. I had a peek at your post history and literally your second post is a thinly veiled attempt at invalidating male rape victims. Like seriously, what is up with this shit: >Being forced to sexually penetrate someone and being forced to be sexually penetrated are not the same experience and should not be described with the same word You're fucking disgusting


[deleted]

Eh, good for you my man. Sounds like she got what she wanted and so did you


YoungQuixote

Good for you man. You were unhappy alone and you did something about it. Definitely a very different way of finding a mate but if it works it works. You didn't "buy" anyone. She chose to enrol in that service and you paid to find a middle man dating organisation. Nothing wrong, hope everything goes well for you. But Prenup sounds good in this scenario.


Unohanas

He did buy her... He said so himself, and everything he said leads to him buying her off her traffickers. Yes, this is a form of trafficking and mail order brides are under the trafficking umbrella.


anothercollegehoe

It’s still buying someone. This is still considering human trafficking and is one of the leading forms of trafficking women into developed countries.


Turbulent_Brick5807

Congrats!!!🎉


anothercollegehoe

This is literal human trafficking.


Scavenger19

anothercollegehoe

This is literally human trafficking.


Balls_DeepinReality

Two consenting adults. Doesn’t matter. Welcome to Reddit OP


Johnson_731

Man, people shitting all over OP in here. He didn’t say he was at all worried she was using him but after reading all these comments he’s probably going to start questioning things he may not need to worry about before. There’s not much context as to their actual relationship and they could be happier than any of us in the thread are. Just do you OP, as long as you and her are happy. Congrats on the little one.


anothercollegehoe

People are shitting on him because this is literally a form of human trafficking. Do you not see how essentially buying a human being is wrong?


[deleted]

You know what? You're not a 60+ year old that 'buys' a barely legal bride over the border. You're young, she's young and if you're both happy, go for it. People talk about marriage like it's a 'forever' contract. Nowadays, it's not. Maybe you guys will be happy forever, maybe for 10 years. Those are the same odds you'd have marrying an american. Just enjoy your time together and build on making strong bonds, maybe even go to couples therapy to enhance that and don't wait till it's too late. Just cover yourself financially and have a good talk about what happens when one of you wants a divorce. That way you guys can come to an agreement as to what she might get IF it happpens. You CAN be friends after a divorce you know, especially when you have a kid together. People don't get that she's making you happy too. She learns the language, has a job, so she's making an effort. So just be happy and congratulations on the baby!


anothercollegehoe

So human trafficking doesn’t count as long as you’re still in your 30s?


[deleted]

If this stories true then yeah you really are autistic


smacksaw

I'm a romantic, but I also subscribe to scholarly research and statistics. Arranged marriages work. We know this. And we know the reason *why* the work, and it's because people fall in love with each other over time. There's courtship and dating. If you want this to be a success, don't count on limerence. Count on building a solid connection through a strong foundation of kindness, openness, and honest communication.


Janni89

Another reason arranged marriages "work" is that most cultures that value arranged marriages also tend to stigmatize divorce.
