felixis99: I don;t think it would much matter here try as you may to flip things around, I think most know quite well what is meant without you attempting to bait an argument. I prefer how we do things here. We marry for love. I have read in the news what happens to women in your culture who TRY to marry for love. scary.


still I am curious to know your idea of love !!

jac_the_gripper: If somebody's cultural outlook doesn't appear logical, it's because you're reading it from your own value framework.

I believe it may be cultural and possible more a term of warmth and respect, as in 'you are dear to me as a fellow human being'.

Nidifugous: I agree.


I agree to the extent that a responsible person will want to marry another responsible person, but the lack of the mention for love is disquieting to me. I also think responsibilities and expenses should be shared without "demands."

We have acknowledged that there cultural differences at play here. So I am not sure that calling names like golddigger really means anything. But certainly we can criticize a cultural practice (our own or another) in a forum of free speech?


What una said earlier about the difference between a couple managing finances and looking only at a man for his wallet, those being different things (I can;t remember exactly how she said it)wave

You are most welcome to express your opinions !!!
I agree that responsibilities and expenses should be shared without demands ... but what you will do if your partner is not ready to share responsibilities?
would you walk out instantly ?
would you make demand ?

at least it did not come across that way in the context here, but it's no big deal. I am not offended or anything.

Probably I would not have become involved in the first place, to answer the question.

making demands seldom accomplishes anything. not many people will want a partner who makes demands. Perhaps a gentle discussion about attitudes toward divison of household chores and finances would be an idealightbulb
