[quote=CANDON,318469]I'd like to hear more of what is normal or expected in China. I've heard the man bringing a house, I've heard the parents giving a house. I've heard the couple working together. Is it the blatant request or expectation that scares some off? If you are choosing the person you want to spend the rest of your life together I hope you are providing a home and building it together. Maybe big, maybe small. Maybe parents help. Maybe the man is the breadwinner who brings it. Maybe the couple chooses the house and works together to make it happen. Doesn't sound much different than in the west to me....but on this thread there seems to be a lot of fear that someone will be taken advantage of. For me, I'd like to know more of the Chinese history, view and expectations, where they are different and why....the differences can't only be due to gold diggers....can the Chinese posters help enlighten me more....it would make it easier for me to put in perspective what is culture and what is unreasonable Thanks.[/quote]
