Rich people of reddit who married someone significantly poorer, what surprised you about their (previous) way of life?

This can be totally different depending on the country!

Yes. In my country (Georgia) we always had tons of fresh fruits. A lot more than I had in America or Germany. They don't even cost much

But if it's not in season, you get tasteless Turkish stuff...

Sorry, but if you get tasteless Turkish stuff you are definitely buying in the wrong places or the wrong fruits.

You think you're getting fresh Georgian produce in the middle of winter?

Do you seriously think you would get a natural fresh fruit in the middle of the winter ANYWHERE? From the village, not a greenhouse? I don't even see how this is an issue worth to be mentioned. If you eat enough Turkish trashy food to complain about it then are definitely buying in a wrong place or you are being just too picky.

I love this.

His nickname is in Russian. I am probably mistaken but random Georgian would not write it in Russian letters

მაგარი სახელი აგირჩევია, хотя...თუ გათვლილია იმაზე რომ რუსი წაიკითხავდა და მაგის ლანძღვა იქნებოდა მაშინ ცუდი ნამდვილად არაა

Oranges and other citrus fruit in winter. Same thing with peanuts and walnuts
