Though Ilya’s wife is not exactly Russian, she said it like most Russian women, who are very traditional. We even have a saying “Though he’s (a man) is lousy, he’s mine” – as for me, I will never understand women who are so much afraid to be alone that they agree to suffer from their men!

It is still a popular idea here that an ideal man always pays for ladies he dines with.

What I find very interesting was his (apparently) vehement reaction to a man’s meal being paid for. This was super interesting. I’d love to see more translations like this.

I find it interesting that his wife said that a man should come to the decision himself (as to getting married.) Are most Russian women traditional in that way?

Interesting stuff. I like your translations of stuff we don’t see here in Canada or the United States.
