If it helps, I experienced much of the same as a British in another Western European country for many many years.
What I think you’re experiencing is a symptom of common human relationship dynamics - women can easily integrate into other cultures by coupling, but men can’t do the same. Instead they do the opposite
This isn’t to say that it can’t happen, but it’s an uphill struggle as you’ve experienced
Now I’m a Brit back in the UK I’ve got a eastern (central) European partner 🤷
