How convenient she left out all the downsides of "Asian culture". I just watched a movie about 40-50 year olds (so most of u guys on RS) who moved to Canada for a better life and all the shit they had to endure. It highlighted the toxicity between their parents and them, all the bickering and comparing, all the negativity and not being able to stand up for yourself because it's within the culture.
"Asian culture" is largely showing off who's a bigger baller for face. I know someone who dropped G65 AMG money on a wedding and complained about the guests who "only gave $100" for red pocket lol. I also know someone else, who's bf at the time "paid for everyone's dinner and drinks - a massive bill", but it was really the gf's money and her CC lol.
You don't want that bullshit anyway. She's stupid for thinking she'll be treated well long-term with that mentality. That quickly turns into dependency on your man for purchases, needing permission to buy things/do things, pretty much my childhood before my mom started her own business. You'll get your revenge when "my mans paid for everyone" turns into "my man is the man of the house so I have to listen and stfu" :eyeroll:

I relate to the growing up in a co-op so much. Recently I had an acquaintance ask about how I can afford to have a house - you guys know the truth to this. And then they said some shit, in which I replied with, I wish I had your kind of
privilege to just pay rent at home and have the freedom to move out whenever I want to without worrying about how my parents are gonna pay their bills.
