There are stories all the time of women who follow their husbands to their home countries without seeing hide nor hair of their new homes or new families and are unhappy--and that's saying nothing of the marriage. The language barrier alone is daunting, but what about the cultural ramifications of being in a place where, as a woman, you do not have the same rights and priveleges you have here in the States? It's also very important to have an outside support system--which may not be as accessible in another nation that does not have the same conveniences as readily as we have them in the US.
You simply owe it to yourself to educate yourself as much as possible about the environment from which your boyfriend comes.
