I think it would be good to let him know your feelings about the matter , I dunno what kind of excuses he gives you if you have previously talked to him about this so to give you more precise ways to overcome them.A good way would be sitting on a calm day with him and tell him all the reasons why you donÂ´t like living there and how going back to australia would make you feel better explain to him pros and cons donÂ´t make it sound like it is "just because" give him enough bases to see how living there is making you unhappy.IF it is hard for you to talk to him then the so used letter trick can work it is easier to get everything out and without interruptions.

If he's American forget it, he would not be able to adapt to another country having endured a life time of brainwashing.

give him his thongs, cook him a barbie, give him a vic bitter, and star talking in really severe aussie accent. hopefully that will make him so homesick he;ll book a flight immediately. if not just threaten to serve him nothing but Vegemite sandwiches for breakky lunch and tea till he gets you outta there

I can sympathize. It already sounds like your husband probably doesn't want to go back. If so, you'll probably have to leave him if it will cause that much of a divide. You might want to look into whether or not the region you live in is the problem, because some places in America can have INTOLERABLE people.

I've been to Australia, and the people are great. A lot complained to me about the "Yanks". If it weren't for the fact I was born and lived overseas, I would have not known the fact I was behaving like an ugly American. Unfortunately, that's how you have to behave if you live in America. There are nice people in this country, but unfortunately, too many can be unpleasant and bizarre, attitude-wise.

One night when he's feelin' frisky, ask him if he'd like to go "down under" when he says yes, run and pack your bags - if he acts surprised let him know it was his decision.

Kill his American girlfriend.

Tell him the truth about why you hate it here. Any type of manipulation will only make him resent you.

loosin it liz

Are you both Aussie's? How long have you been here? Are you both here because of work or school or ??? What brought you here? Is there the chance it is only temporary? Ask yourself and him the last question especially. Tell him the truth during a calm discussion about where you BOTH are happiest living.

Tell him that you hate it here and also that America will be nuked in the not too distant future.

Negotiate, a certain time in his native country and then a certain time in yours - only seems fair really if you're doing this for him maybe it'll be more bearable once you know you'll get to go back to your home soon. Or, you could live somewhere completely new? Think you have to talk about it though otherwise it could cause much bigger problems.

majickgypsy

Remind him that you are both surrounded by Americans.

unhappy:(

That is a long way to go. I would just ask him what he thinks about it. GOOD LUCK!!!

take him to a "truck pull" or some idiot flag waver parade, he will see that America is a land of subhumans.

u wouldnt have 2 convince him, he would if he loved u.

hochingtao

tell him that you will make sweet love on that big rock yall got there every day until his rear blisters.

There is nothing as power-full as the truth, talk to your husband, be as honest as possible, make a clear and good balance between what you consider good and wrong, such as consequences in both senses, stay or leave, together you will take the best decision, I am sure!

justagirl

You can't change his mind. Only he can. But, like one said, if he loves you, he'd go back. On the other hand, if you love him, you'll give it a 100% effort and stay. Maybe it's your location in the US. Try another region (state). Heard they're more friendly in the south.....get involved, together, in activities with other people your age.
