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" ???????
