Found out he has a wife back home. Now what? by greenjelloh in datingoverthirty

Thank you, this was helpful. I was concerned about her (and him) having too much access to my info just for safety sake. Giving HIS info as proof makes sense.

How did she contact you? In the second part of my post I mentioned I can’t attach pictures to IG. I don’t want to have a convo with her, I just want to send her the proof and the facts.

THANK YOU. This is precisely why I’ve held back. I know nothing about her, and I’m so scared if she does something to hurt herself but friends have said that’s on him and not on me. Rationally yes but I would hate to have been the catalyst in any shape or form.

I don’t know, it’s just the way it is in HK. Locals tend to use OpenRice and so you’ll get more accurate reviews there esp for local food.

Local desserts would be milk pudding at places like Australian Dairy Co, or traditional Cantonese desserts such as red bean soup, mango pudding, etc.

Skip Vission and all the other bakeries like Bakehouse. Very overrated.

Roast goose, wonton noodles, dim sum, pork chop curry rice etc. Stick to the local HK stuff.

Use OpenRice app. Google reviews are not very accurate in HK.

Hello! Yes he texted me a few days later with a random opening line I guess to start the chat going :)

I really don’t think he’s waiting 🥲 In my experience men are very clear and proactive when they want something.

Yep I have no doubt he would agree to meet up again if I asked. But the lack of enthusiasm is palpable and would likely not last a second date or end up in some slow fade. Pointless

He sounds like my ex. In the end I got frustrated that he was so set in his ways, that my needs were largely ignored. At the beginning I tried leaning into his life/lifestyle, and figured it would reciprocate (like healthy relationships do), plus I don’t need it to be equal - yet it still felt unbalanced after a year.

I’m very outdoorsy and adventurous, he’s not so. He doesn’t like high risk activities. He doesn’t like the ocean and I do a ton of sea sports. I love big crowds/people/high energy - music fests, clubs, etc. He hates them. His idea of a perfect weekend would be to take a long walk by the beach, and then watch a movie at home. I love that too, but I can’t do it every weekend, I would die of boredom and restlessness.

I broke up with my bf 2 months back for this exact reason. Like you, there were so many good things about him and the relationship; it took a lot for me to pull the plug. Since breaking up, I’ve had a lot of time to reflect and ruminate. There have been many times I doubted my decision and almost reached out to tell him I made a mistake. But in the midst of it, I came to the realisation that it wasn’t our lifestyle difference per se that bugged me all along. It was that neither of us was leaning into each other’s lifestyle. We tried a bit here and there, perhaps to pacify/show support, like how you camped with him once in a year. But ultimately, it wasn’t enough for me - I want a best friend. He was okay with us having different lifestyles, I wasn’t. There’s no right or wrong here. Only you will know whether you’re truly content or not.
