Married Life

[Tuanv 2]

How is married life treating you guys? My wife and I are doing very well. There were things that we had to work on but I love my wife and married life. When I get home from work, everything is prepared and I live like a king. I just thought it is interesting to get other people's perspectives.

Well, I'm still waiting to get there :-)

Looks like you figured out the best way to live like a king is make sure you treat her like a queen :-)

Married life sucks but I wouldn't trade it for being single again.

I'm happy and everyone else is too. The only downside is that my household size doubled overnight. I can hear Ross Perot's "giant sucking sound", and it's coming from my wallet!

It's great but I'm also still getting used to coming home to meals prepared. Or, should I say, Vietnamese meals prepared. I think I have eaten more vegetables (known and unknown) in the past 6 months than I during my entire 39 years of existance. I'm also probably the only the white guy that watches, and slightly enjoys, Paris By Night.

You expect VNese women will continue to do this "tradition" (preparing meals for their hubbies/families) forever? Sorry to make you smell the coffee but your dream prob would come to an end whenever she's got her 10-year PERM GC. She'd less likely to cook your meals as often as you wish. Not that she no longer cares or loves you. It's just she's had enough time in the States to learn her new freedom rights, being a woman and does whatever she feels like doing.

Enjoy while it lasts, that is!

I know a white American and his Viet Kieu wife who still have a storybook marriage after 12 years. I'm guessing your ex-wife really crapped in your custard. Too bad. Maybe the problem wasn't her...

Not commenting on the specific situation, but it goes both ways, especially if your wife is working or going to school. If you expect to be a king go home and watch tv, then yeah, don't expect that to last too long.

I think she cooks it more for herself so that she doesn't have to eat American food. I bet it's more likely to change once she gets used to eating our food rather than after she gets her 10yr. GC.

Bravo for your effort...You're not the only that watch Paris By Night (PBN)..I know several guys (Caucasian of course) not only watch and understand PBN but can karaoke those songs

Depends on where you live. All the Vietnamese I know still eat Vietnamese food. They prefer to cook it and eat it over American food. Even after being in the US for 30+ years. Then will eat American food, but the prefer Vietnamese food. If that wasn't true, then the Vietnamese food areas would not still be growing. Even the second generation Vietnamese who are more Americanized still prefer Vietnamese food over American food. I don't know about the Third generation though.

I can't help but to laugh at profound sense of bitterness, I imagine the poster says it with a tightly clenched jaw and fire in his eyes, I can't help but wonder what happened to the guy.

Married life has been good for me, and I understand that it's young at its stage but I have a pretty good idea where it will be base on important facts such as how she was raised, our beliefs, her immediate family, ect ect, another important factor is I know for a fact she didn't just marry b/c she wanted a GC, I'll spare you the details on that.

Beside having to adjust to the typical married life stuff, I had to give up a few things here and there, and rightfully so. No more bars hopping, no more spending of money on compulsive toy purchase, no more random booty calls or any female friends for that matter.
