    Sorry to hear that, it's hard when you realize you don't have the same values and goals anymore. This happened to my ex-husband and I after 10 years or marriage. Luckily no kids so it made the change a bit easier. We're still friends but working on being our own best selves separately. I'm still excited about the channel by the way y ahora que vi que hablas en español, super!! Estoy aprendiendo mucho de ti y eso te lo agradezco mucho. Me encanta aprender y me encanta la naturaleza. 🙏🙏🙏😊

    Hey amigo how are you doing ?
    Honestly I am impressed how brave you are, to start a new life off the grid, leaving everything behind, to live a real adventure, instead of living a miserable life that the actual system offer.
    I would love to meet you, and help me out to start a new life, with your knowledge.
    I am in the same position as you I brought my wife to USA to make some money and get back, but the system trap her and my kids as well.
    I am about to go back to my country but I am afraid to start fresh, after 30 years living in San Francisco CA.

    Thanks for sharing.
    I was born and raised in the village of Oaxaca and I know people get excited in first few months when they visit, however, once “reality” kicks in they usually want you to leave right away.
    In your situation, if what you shared is true and that’s is more into it?? If yoi still love Vanessa as your wife then I’ll encourage you to seek help, so both can balance.
    For example, live in Mexico for few months and once your boy is on vacation you can move back to the cabin for 3-4 months and so on.
    That’s my plan when I get closer to retirement.
    God bless amigo gringo.

    I know how incredibly tough it is for you and for your wife and son, this distance between you. But things will be alright in the end, with love, patience, and understanding. There are many parallels with my own life. I also moved a lot, lived abroad for awhile when my daughter was small. Now she's 27 and we're very close. And her mother and I are also closer than ever though we've never lived together since our daughter was small. Coraje, compadre.

    Keep holding on to the hope that one day in the future you will find a woman that will share the same dreams you have. She will always be the mother of your child but some ppl are only meant to be temporary and that's ok, you learn from it and you grow. I bet there are several woman watching your channel right now that would love to find a gringo to live off grid with 😉. You're a hard working, kind, funny and beautiful man. I'm excited for you on what the future holds for you and your channel and wish you the best of luck ❤.

    A veces los padres planean algo para los hijos y no se da. Más tu sigue trabajando por lo que te haga feliz. Es difícil encontrar a alguien que quiera lo mismo que uno. Entiendo a tu mujer por su hijo. Mucha gente escapa de la naturaleza y el campo para quedar atrapado en la ciudad y su estilo de vida. Así como me paso a mi por salud no puedo abandonar Estados Unidos y estar en el campo lejos de todo con mis perros y la naturaleza. Eres afortunado sigue tu sueño y si tu hijo lo desea seguirá tus pasos cuando pueda decidir por el.

Maybe if it was just her and you but when you have children you want them to be socialized go to school,spend time with grandma and grandpa, Auntie‘s, uncles and cousins.

Bringing up a boy on your own is too difficult as a female. She'll realize it soon. She's going to!! If not, don't worry, Aiden will come back. If you keep going as you're doing, he'll be so stoked to have you as his Dad. The important thing is that you're accepting the situation and being strong despite it being hard. As someone who is old enough to be your mother, I'm so Fricking proud of you. Building all that you have; your sumthin else!! Please never let go of your strength... Tu PUEDES!!

At first it hurt a lot and I wanted to mope and hide, but then I snapped out of it and decided that the best I could do for my son is to become the best man I can. Someone he will be proud of to have as a father. That has given me strength I didn't know I had.

  • @jonbird6566
    @jonbird6566 4 місяці тому +14

    Relationships cannot be built on hope. You need a common future goal. This was a classic case of 2 different visions for the future and one party just going along with it until they finally were honest with themselves and realized that they actually didn't want this path in life. I don't blame her at all. I do wish, for your sake, that she was more honest with herself before committing, but it's a human condition.
    The same thing happened with me and my ex. Not even close to the same circumstances, but the same baseline story. I had a vision on the future that I wanted. She thought in her own mind that she could make it work and sacrifice her dreams and goals (and didn't communicate those with me), to adapt to my vision of the future. She was enthusiastic about it too, but there comes a point in every human's life, no matter how much love you have for one another, you start to feel like you are separating your own personality from your own self because you went along with something that contradicted your own desires in life. Then you start to resent your partner even though you chose to follow a path that wasn't in line with your own goals. It happens all to often.
    My ex did this. I was enthusiastic about my future goals, I knew the work that it would take to get there. She thought that it sounded good, but didn't understand the work and sacrifice that it would take. She never told me that she had other wants in life and decided to get on board with my path. It tore her up and I did everything I could to make it easy for her, but it just wasn't her path in life. Our son suffers because now we are separated and I just wonder if she was honest with herself and me from the beginning, what sacrifices could I have made to meet her in the middle? I love her to this day, but sometimes things just don't work out. I still have a relationship with my son, and me and her still get along, although we do not have a close relationship anymore, and that does hurt, but I push that to the back of my mind for the sake of our son. I think that the best thing that you can do at this point is exactly what you are doing. Keep living life to the fullest, and keep that boy in your life. Good people, even with their differences, can work things out for the love of their children.
    God bless you and her and your son especially. Things will workout in a way that this will feel like it was supposed to be. Perhaps you will be able to spend summers with your son out there and he will grow to love nature as much as you. Have faith. Good luck on your journey, brother. I will be following.

    • @Gringooax
      @Gringooax  4 місяці тому +6

      Thank you so much for sharing brother. You are exactly right. She tried to follow my vision for the future, but it is a huge sacrifice to fully follow another person and sacrifice your own dreams. I now know the value in ensuring that you share similar visions. No one will ever have the exact same dreams, but it could be small compromises rather than complete sacrifice, if you have similar desires.

    Me puedo identificar con tu situación. And I know for sure you'll be fine. Mi hijo tiene 11 años ahora. And our relationship is like... very... really good friends.
    The hardest part for you is exactly this moment. And maybe... The next 3 years... After that time, he will be totally attached to his mother, but you'll be like a hero to him. And he will follow you anywhere.
    Keep strong man. I'll promise you'll be fine.

    I can identify with what you are saying . I grew up in California and was an active member of boyscout and an explorer. I camped in the high Sierra , bathe in the rivers, cooking like scouts, hiking, all nature. but as I was a teenager and when I turned 17 I wanted to go to Mexico city and learn proper Spanish and culture. which I dad,my dad was sad at my decision but let me go and I went to the University and graduated as an economist and worked in Mexico city for years, my story is that I got together witha young secretary and took jer to Tijuana Mexico, this was a shock to jer, because is a undeveloped ugly town, she felt totally out of place and she decided to go back to the beautifully city. . I just didn't want to go back ....... maybe we took them out of their roots. maybe you would have married a local Oaxacan girl. and me a California girl. . you say that you want this land for your son, but friend sons will find their own pathe.

    No piece of land in the world is worth more than my wife and kids when there is true commitment. Reconsider at least living closer to your son. There are nice off grid places around Mexico city. He will not care about the land, he will care of your time with him (like you said in another video, time is precious)

    When we are younger, we often have less awareness of how our upbringing impacts our hopes and dreams in life. It absolutely makes it hard to plan for the future when we ourselves are not even sure for ourselves the boundaries of what we want and don't want. Sometimes we don't know until we try. Having a baby is intense, and so many changes are happening at the same time. There is a saying that development of the washing machine was key to the women's liberation movement. Saving hours of time in a day. I honestly suspect, once you have all of the modern conveniences set up there is hope.

    • @Gringooax
      @Gringooax  4 місяці тому +1

      Yes. It is a very demanding lifestyle living off grid. Especially the starting out new phase. Being a first time mother and trying to adapt can obviously be overwhelming for someone who grew up in the big city.

Los inodoros de composte que tiene drenaje para el urine y abanico para ventilar el balde de coleccion son los mejores opciones disponibles aunque son caros, vale la pena muchisimo.

    It is incredible to see that not all people who grow up in very opposite cities can end up not being so compatible. I have seen Americans who live in Oaxaca with their almost similar house and yet some of them accepted the life that their husband gave them and are happy There I believe that when there is true love that would be the least that matters because being together we can fight and forge a beautiful future away from so much evil that exists in the world today children grow up with few values ​​for life and the The child grows there, in my opinion, it is the best way to have two children with special needs and even so, I am willing to follow my husband, even in the middle of the mountains, without offending anyone. This is my point of view.
