Just curious at which point you're planning to take back control.

If it’s about all about who’s in control, in my opinion the marriage is doomed.Kammekor wrote:I could drop the word 'back'.Alex wrote: ↑Sat Dec 09, 2023 10:14 pmTo take back control, you must have had it at some point.

In a good marriage, two become one. Both complement the other. Both are in control, neither are in control.
Good luck in your marriage and may you have a lifetime of happiness.

One possibility is the 6 pages of discussion, meandering through what is ultimately chit-chat, without actual human-human interaction or 75c beers.Kenr wrote: ↑Sat Dec 09, 2023 10:44 pmThen why do you feel the need for a pre-marriage workshop?Fridaywithmateo wrote: ↑Sat Dec 09, 2023 8:21 pm For me, I don’t give a hoot … but it’s important for my wife and her gang … I am just along for the ride.

If you truly love her, and she truly loves you, there is no confusion.

Pick Mrs. Or Mr. Right Now, and the relationship falls apart after right now passes. Been there, suffered that.
Good luck.

Re: Pre-marriage workshop
Thanks, I have been through it too with my Ecuadorian wife ... I just think a little preventative medicine would help ... example: Khmer chicks are taught that if you are not fiercely jealous, that means you are doing something wrong ... in contrast, jealousy in Western culture is toxic ... to sit with a marriage coach who is bi lingual and can explain how these culture clashes work or do not work could help us understand where the pot holes are and will be as we move along the road of life together ... or words to that effect.newkidontheblock wrote: ↑Sun Dec 10, 2023 2:26 amIf you truly love her, and she truly loves you, there is no confusion.

Requires answering questions for the mods to consider to admit you.
First question - do you and your spouse live in Cambodia?
After that, I’m not interested.
2.)You like my sista?
