How to survive if the hb is the only sole breadwinner  |
what this bro said is 100% true. i married a foreign wife. she's good. and understands. but there's some things that are un-avoidable.
they come thinking this way:
- have a better life from last time
- able to get more luxuries than last time, especially if they have friends who are always fighting who has the more expensive bags, bigger house
- there's always a hidden cost which are unforeseen
when u marry foreign wifes think clearly, don't get both parties into a sad situation. make sure u love her and in mentally prepare for much heavier responsibilities than being with a local wife.
