Dan R Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 I think many of these are "testing the water" or "looking before leaping. Many consider a foreign marriage in the first place because they want security in a China that is changing rapidly and sometimes leaving parents destitute. Link to comment
skibum Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 The first time it occured to my then fiancee to ask for money was when she was in GZ getting her visa. All the women we sitting around telling how much their fiancees were giving them. Then she relized that I did not send any because she had a good job and was supporting herself very well.So I think some of it may be the woman gets together with others and compare notes, lie to eacho ther and try to show that their man is best.Me, I wanted to marry for love and I have.

My SO told me that many ladies on BBS say that there man gives them hundreds and hundresds of dollars a month. I explained to her that most of that is not true. I also explained to her my financial situation and how much things cost here in the States. To take a step further, I sent her my Tax records, the amount I made. She says you make a lot, then I hit her with the bills. hahahahah ahahahah. When she finished going over what it cost to house and feed me, and then thought about adding herself and daughter. She tells me I am poor. I tell her Yes and now she understands the cost of living in Northern Virgina..... Carl Link to comment
SheLikesME? Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 My wife would have nothing to do with that hen party. She did not want me hanging out in CFL because of the other gals in the other web site. She has a good job and does not want me to send her money because instead she expects me to build a better future for us here in the USA. She says our future is there, not China. Also I left her a credit card on the first visit but my bank up and changed the number on me for some reason so it was no good. On the 2nd visit I had 2 credit cards with her name on them, and I left a check book. She simply does not use them and asked me to not do it, but she appreciates the concern I had and care I had for her. I am sure it gives her some reasurance. But I appreciate her taking care of herself over there. She is such a hard worker. If anything I will not measure up I fear in output around the house and work hours, when compared to her.

RLS Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Well I must be one of the lucky ones. My SO has never asked me for 1 yuan and she is not a rich lady. I have given her money on my own, but she never asked for it. That, to me, is one of the elements of good character. Link to comment
whatsthehaps Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 That's kind of a relief because mine mentions that other girls sit back and enjoy the life. Now I can say it's really not the case, in many cases. Link to comment

This is a good topic for another thread. Of course it would require most of us to fess up. I see what my wife is having to put up with and I wish I was not bringing my spoiled American-life-style baggage to the table. Edited May 2, 2006 by SheLikesME (see edit history) Link to comment

It takes a true man to admit that he played at least 50% the part when things go awry. Link to comment
