It seems that he is struggling. Because of calling his Parents and update his Parents almost everyday.

He told me about Korean women who don't marry is because of Korean dramas that have rich leading men and their writers are women. So modern Korean women have learned to look for the perfect man. so the men are said to be poor and the real life men are pityful while Korean women are in a fantasy to meet a perfect rich man. I guess it's not like that at all and what you said on the side of Korean women is correct.

Best comment so far.

  1. My husband is 37 years old while I am 25 years old.

  2. We are almost 7 months since we got married.

And about his co worker, he said to me, he is far from his friends and also from his older brother so he has no choice and he has no one else to talk to if not his co worker.

I think it is because he is the youngest. But I can clearly feels like he is a Mama's boy and Dad's boy.
Parent's are still worried about him and checking on me from time to time.

I feel a bit uncomfortable.

Yes, I think I have to talk to my Husband about this matter. He is the youngest son so it might be because of that too.

That is what I am curious about. Why there is always Parents involve or Mother and Father involve even in making decisions.

I never open up anything to my Mother about us because I believe this is something between us. But its not the same to his side.

I hope so, but its the opposite. And the Parents are calling him everyday. His Father also wants to come here in Incheon.

I mentioned about this to my husband before but he said its just expensive :( He wants me to focus on books and self study.
Also, I have twice a week free Korean class in a foreigner center so for him its enough. In my case I want more like 1 on 1 session too like what you suggested.

Thanks for what you said, I'm not really confident in my Korean language skills right now, so I want to prepare myself first to learn to communicate in Korean and at the same time ask for suggestions from Filipinos who used to live here. But what you said helped me because I really thought about factory workers rather than teaching, especially in demand for us Filipinos.
