If you can choose, will you marry a foreigner or a Chinese?
Why? Did tom pop the question?
Not yet. But I wonder if I can get my parents' consent.
Let me guess, your parents want you to marry a Chinese man, right?
You are right. It is giving me a real headache. I feel like I'm between a rock and a hard place.
I used to have the same problem when I was with my ex.
Oh, how did you deal with it?
I just let it go and continued dating with my Korean boyfriend. But finally we broke up.
Oh, it's a pity. What was the matter?
Simple. We had personality clashes and there were too many cultural differences.
Like what?
He hoped to live in the Korean way and asked me to give up working and stay at home to take care of the family.
Oh, I see. In their culture women should put family first.
Yes, he said it would be better for me and for the whole family. But I simply can not quit working.
So that's why it's hard to have a happy marriage with a foreigner.
Not really. There are many successful mixed marriage around us.
