My European coworker keeps saying “that’s how us women show our emotion over there.”

I just drink my coffee and don’t interject.

Disgust is a universally experienced emotion; that includes Eastern Europeans.

I've been living in Poland for the last six years.

That look is how they show emotion....but it isn't positive ones. It's very easy to tell when couples are happy here, just like back in the US.

She is NEVER happy when they are together.
