Jaseball Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Pretty sure I've changed my wife far more than she has changed me. Never appreciated the American media stereotype of American guys being stupid, lazy, only interested in sports, beer guzzling, pansies who cater to their wife who wears the pants in the family. Not going to put up with my wife dictating how things run in my life either. Guess this sounds harsh, but in reality I view it as an equal partnership. I'm fine with change. As long as the change can be shown to be beneficial to the both of us or is just a better way of doing things. Link to comment

amberjack1234 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Let me start with a few. 1. Take my shoes off at the front door and put on slippers. 2. Go straight to the bathroom and wash my hands. 3. Never sit on the bed with dirty clothes on. 4. No complaining. 5. While out in the public don't touch anything especially while in a doctors office or hospital. 6. Wash my hands after I have touched any money. 7. Changed my TV habits, the remote is her property now. 8. Has me eating leftover food. Will not throw anything out it must be eaten. Throw out a bone and a cat can't find it. 9. Must wear clothes until they are worn completely and I mean completely out.10. She has me going to church on Sundays. Larry Link to comment
Dennis143 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I've learned to be more patient and tolerant. I still want to pull my hair out and will rant and rave when she brings home a box of 600 eggs. But, she knows that underneath all my haranguing that I still love her. I've learned that there are just some things that I will never understand about her and that I've just got to accept her as she is. Link to comment
warpedbored Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 She has made me a better man. She has taught me that to take care of people is more than kind words. Action is required. Link to comment
Feathers268 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 He has been changed since I came here:1.Sleep at night without a fan on. 2.Everyday eat Chinese food. B) Eat Chinese food 50% of the time. If I want something different, usually I will cook. Sometimes, I eat American while she eats Chinese.I still sleep with the fan on, she just turns off when she comes to bed. Otherwise sets the timer for a couple of hours.TV is my domain. She watches sometimes but usually she watches what she wants on her computer. Sometimes I have "very important TV" she knows that is a priority. Link to comment

amanda1969 Posted September 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Well, been lots of changes. The cats now live in the garage and the old tai tai women lets me have my nuts once every week or two. Rest of the time she keeps them in her purse.Where did the cats live ? In your bed? ha ha ha...

Kyle Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 It's been a two way street. I've helped her learn how to communicate her feelings, and she's helped me be more pro-active in displaying actions of love. I've become more patient - and she's learned how to cook (kind of). It's been an adventure, thus far. Link to comment

I am glad that you are here now and can teach us whimps how corral and train these Chinese dragons. Now before you get your underwear in a wad I am just teasing you a bit but you do come on a bit macho, let me guess you are from Texas? Larry I don't make a very large distinction between American and Chinese women. Understand the culture, know there are differences, but we're all human. Don't believe in being macho or calling other folks names. It's just from personal experience that a man should be understanding, loving, have a sense of humor and being willing to change is ok, but there are limits and lines that should not be crossed. The women I've known tested me all the time. Pushed my buttons and seemed to want to know how far they could push and if I had any boundaries and if she could get me to change my boundaries once they were found. What has my wife changed? Mainly my outlook and goals. It isn't just me now. It's the two of us and I have someone to care for and look after. God willing we may one day have kids and this would be a major change as well.
