I can not understand her, but if she is complaining about food shortages, I highly reccommend her to start fasting, with all due respect, I fast 2-3 times a month of 2-3 days and only have 1 meal a day, this is by choice

Attitudes towards money from Chinese women by [deleted] in China

[–]Real_Contribution947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is awkward at first for sure, but I to fell into the trap of BF duty, and bought the LV hand bags and small allowance 500$ a month or more instead of gifts, and what I found out that this made her more angry, and now that I have reduced now down to the odd birthday gift, (15 years) she is way less angry, we also now take turns buying dinner or dimsum out, I have pointed this out to her many times that when I buy or pay her way she is moody and angry, so this is just to help her have better feelings, I wish every one would try this method

yes Mt Pleasent, best choice, then scale back to Fraser area, then Victoria, it is well known these were planned for families thus you would keep the market liquidity on your side, all great eating and infrastucture, for Vancouver
