marrying a vietnamese lady is a different story. As most singaporean man marry vietnamese ladies of lower education standards, its hardly possible for them to work after marriage. The singaporean husband has to provide for her.
To complicate matters further, most bros got to know their vietnamese spouses at KTV or other entertainment venues. Before marriage, they may have an income that is many times higher than yours. So when you cannot provide for her, first idea is for her to return to her former occupation.
To each their own. But one thing is, get married only when you are financially and emotionally stable.  Marriage is not a game of sex, its a load of responsbilities |
Actually, I feel that there are many other avenues la. yes they may not as educated. but in my case, i encouraged my wife to take up skills like hair cutting, beauty and manicure and pedicure...these skills will enable her to get a job. Also this will provide an additional source of income...not much but 1-1.3k per month can help pay for a lot of things....since my wife started working, she has taken over sending money back to vietnam and i have been relieved of that duty!!
So, its really how much your wife loves you.. if she is the type that play card, sit back relax type who waits for money, then sorry ....too bad. I would like to think that those who married for the correct reason, love you, will not mind sharing the household burden with you.
For me, i really feel i have not given my wife a good life. I feel i have let her down...she expects little from me but i have not given her much and she has stood by me all these years...
so if she really loves you, i doubt she will turn back to her old ways...
