OOOOH how I hope this is a "miracle of love" situation. I've learned a friend of mine, a man who never seemed to find a Ms. Right, though he met a lot of possibilities, imported a woman from China to be his wife. She's an intelligent woman and speaks English. Much younger than him (I should say "of course"). Young enough that she could stay married to him for a decade, get a nice social security retirement out of it, divorce, remarry.
How did they meet?
Chinese-American friends made the match, then they were using Skype or equivalent for courtship. He went there to marry her, and at the same time they honeymooned as tourists, saw the Great Wall.
I'd be completely rude if I didn't wish them a wonderful life. Don't think I can't be happy for him/them because I can. Hope springs eternal.
It's just that me and my girlfriends are a bit suspicious when an American man has to import. We see the woman far from her family and support system, sometimes financially unable to leave if she wants to.
My old friend is someone who always has to have his own way. He needs someone to live around him and make his life easier. He's not someone who has ever physically abused another person, but he can be passive aggressive. He has a good sense of humor. Sometimes it's a bit wicked.
A mutual friend said, "Come on Sister, he's an A-hole! The reason you're not close anymore is that as the years went by he became less and less flexible, less willing and able to meet you half way on anything. You two used to go to films a lot. It got to where if he wasn't picking the film, he wasn't going!"
Yea.
