![]() | I can also "speak as one who experienced everything you described'....several times! I am happy to say I succumbed every time. Life is short. Enjoy it. If god intended men to "nurture their marraiges" he would have wired us differently. I'm not weak. He/she is a poor designer! |

![]() | Just got back from another trip over where she is working. While GUEST21872 is way out of line with calling a person he has never met and all the women in her City hookers, the idea that "What you think or know of this women is minute compared to who she really is" is something that did have a ring of truth - I have been around the block a few times in Asia too and know there is always more than meets the eye, and I had some concerns. So I spent alot more time this trip talking about her past and trying to understand her situation better. I learned a great deal about her family, childhood, her relation with her father, places she has been. Also, after some persistent and inventive questioning, I also found out she has a local boyfriend. Oddly enough, instead of feeling like I just stepped in fresh cow dung, I actually felt tremendously relieved. Let me explain - When this started, she had given me a tremendous gift in making me realize that my younger self was still alive within me. I think I understand now about life that when it comes to whether or not you view the years of your life as either the glass half full or half empty, the glass can always be half empty right up to the end, its only a delusion to think its not. Embrace life, and the glass is forever half empty. That is a priceless gift. But as time went on, I began to wonder if at my age if she was going to be the last person I might ever meet who could make me feel that way. Its been 20 years since I met someone like her, and I guarantee all hope of anything like this happening to me again in the next 20 is non existent. So, I found I wanted to hear her more often, see her more often, could not afford to let her slip away. So, instead of feeling good, I was starting to feel anxiety, scared about the risks I was running with losing my family, but also terrified at the thought of losing her too. Suddenly the "boyfriend" appears. I know the "boyfriend", he was the bogeyman from back when I was in high school who was always between me and the girl(s) of my dreams, putting her(them) effectively out of reach. If this can be compared to poker game, then the ante has just been raised. The game was intense to begin with, now, its more than I feel like dealing with: besides gambling with my own family, I now have to gamble that she and her boyfriend will break up. I look at my winnings in this game, I am way ahead, its time to cash out. This is why I felt so relieved. It was like the spell broke. Still I get a little misty eyed when I think, well, that's the last time in this life God has given me I will ever feel such a powerful romantic attraction to another person. She is truly exceptional. |

![]() | Ampilot, I for one am glad to hear that you came through this particular journey and are able to put a positive spin on it. But please don’t, what ever you, close you mind to the fact that others can still bring enjoyment and excitement to your life; at many levels. Dodger. |

![]() | I have a solution to this dilemma AMPILOT. You and I seem to be on a similar wavelength. We seem to be confronted by the same incongruities of life and we both seem to be searching in vain for the answers. It suddenly dawned on me that we could be both looking in the wrong places. I think we have both found what we are looking for without realising it. Now, if you would consider a breast augmentation and a few other very minor surgical adaptations....and perhaps some hormone treatment....and maybe a few deportment classes... I think we could have a future together. What do you say??????? |

![]() | Ampilot, 15 years of marriage! Hm. Your wife is already bored with you. Seems to me like this Chinese lady really makes you feel alive and like a man again, something that is not going to happen at home for next 30 years. As long as Xiaojie knows that you are only going to see her regularly but not every day, this could work. None of the people who gave you advice have any real experience of this. They are just giving standard advice. I say go for it. |

![]() | Excuse me Fushing but to say "None of the people who gave you advice have any real experience of this." is patently wrong. On this very page I wrote "I can also speak as one who experienced everything you described....several times!" My advice was not rhetoric. It comes from experience and is valid. |

![]() | Robert, my advice stays the same. Sorry I missed your post but I still hold that there too many empty marriages with zero emotional content. If you can't divorce for financial reasons (like losing half your estate) then at least discretely enjoy life with this Chinese lady. |
