[quote=GUEST31240,623372]I am married to a Chinese woman 3 years. She speaks almost no English, I speak almost no Chinese. We have translation apps. Our discussions take longer and must be direct to the point. She frequently tells me what she expects from me and I tell her what I expect. We often disagree because of the culture differences. What we do not do is get mad. She often says ,this is what a Chinese man would do, or this is what Chinese families do. I say, I am not Chinese and this is a mixed marriage. WE tell each other to expect what ever we want,We get what we get. That said, I do as much as possible to make her happy. WE have no children so this is much easier. I do not allow her family to live with us and my family also can not live with us. When she gets angry I let her say what ever she wants, low volume. Most of the time we wind up laughing cause my arguments make no sense to her and hers make no sense to me. The red envelops, when do we get ours, seems its all one way. On the other hand her family has been informative and understanding of my strange western ways. And accepted me wholeheartedly into the family. Hmmm.... did I mention we live 12,000 miles from her family. She has been visiting them for 5 months. I was worried she might not want to come back. It is now month 4 and she never misses a chance to tell me how looking forward she is to coming home to me. Her daughter has 2 children and she has 2 elderly parents. She has been taking care of them the whole time. I am not quite sure what they have her doing, cooking, shopping, cleaning, Every time we skipe she is doing one of those things. I am very happy with my Chinese wife and she tells me she is happy with me. I remain a western man, she remains a Chinese woman and somehow it works. Lots of love, understanding, and honest discussion, and boy do we laugh a lot, I think Chinese are funny(odd), and they think I am funny(odd).[/quote]
