West and East
It feels very heavy when relationship hits a huge block of cultural differences...Still struggling to harmonize but so difficult
both feel frustrated...
Happiness, hope, waiting and disappointing, why should it follow such a vicious circle?
Why are West and East so contrasting?
What are men and women expected to do in a relationship?
Sometimes i just want to give up on the cross-culture relation cos it seems like impossible to cross the cultures...
What a gloomy day :(

Would you like a yummy slice of cake?
Good thing is, he's more than happy to know about my culture, my way of life, the local food I love and everything that makes me happy
In return, I just make him happy with lotsa hugs and kisses!
If you were to scrutinize it, it's really not much of a difference after all. Love is universal. Everybody loved to be hugged and kissed, cherished and treasured.
Everything else should be able to tackle easily
Happy for you and hopefully one day i can be as lucky as you are sis
I truly hope you'll find someone who's worthy of you
@Ekself: yes, so many obstacles and not strong enough will. though i want to learn and adjust gradually but seem it is better to give up
...but isn't love suppose to make you content and happy, not miserable and doubtful..????
If the chosen relationship doesn't provide your mind and soul, with hope and desires ,it will starve and fall into bitterness ..
is it true that we have to suffer before we can enjoy? should i hold on and give it more effort or just let it go? at the moment after some sadness i just want to forget it including happy moments we had ...
On the other thing you mentioned - I have found that things should be easy in the start. If you already have to struggle before you are together or to have a relationship off the ground, I never could see something like this going somewhere.
If it's difficult now, can you see it getting easier?
If this is vastly different, have a think if it's better (for both of you) to cut your losses and be free to meet someone that is more compatible. You have a good opportunity to talk when you are with each other.
Best of luck.
If you don't miss him, will it change? I'm not romantic, but if there is something, I want to be with that person.
This is just me and something you have to decide for yourself - if someone wants something different than I, I won't go there as it will never go anywhere and I have better things to do than getting a heartache. Be reasonable but go for what makes you (and someone else) happy.
Talk to him, it has to work for both of you.
Best of luck, there is a lot of pressure on you.
Yes, we get somewhat impatient but we also know when the time happens it will be worth it.
I would say that men and women just need to be there for each other and it's a worldwide rule. Even when cultures are different.
Everyone is different so do what you have to do. I have chosen to stick it out even with all the barriers we have faced so far.
If there is jealousy involved - that is a huuuuge problem that normally does not get any better - again, tlaking from experience
a jelous man yes is a true sign a imaturity.
hope to read on you are finding better choices.
dear keep it simple
