Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner

Whether it is a right choice or not will take time to tell. It will also take lots of patience and communication to make the marriage work. Same culture will be easier but different culture will take a longer time and more communication and more patience.

Adding on: staying with yur parents will have the opportunity of getting them closer n yur parents get to understand n know her better. Same for yur wife, she get to better understand n know yur family members. Again, like bro singviet said, time and communication is important since we are of different cultures.

So try rent room stay with her loh and also near my work place. Use money save on petrol to top up room rental. >.<

I believe yur savings from petrol also not enough to cover the rent. Rent nowadays are so high. $600 plus per mth for a couple a room is quite impossible to find, unless u know the landlord/owner. Usually they charge more for couple compared to singles.

the place i am staying has a spare room for rent...

landlord willing to rent for $600/mth...

but the place has no aircon & is in Jurong...

[asdfghjkl]

I am currently renting out my M room for $800, everything is included. With such a cost, I would recommend you to stay with parents first, never mind the space.

Yes agreed. Space can be made. Also the money u saved from rent can be saved up for buying a flat in the future. Have to start thinking of yur future liao. Cannot be renting room forever. This will make more economical sense.

There is 1 chinese saying' Xiang jian how, dong zu nan' , staying together there are bound to have conflict due to different living habit, I believe bros out there whose living together with parents have experiences on these, fortunately for me my wife have always been understanding & give in whatever she can & I also discovered that vietnamese have a rooted culture of respecting the elderly & very good table manner, she always address my parent 1st before eating her lunch or dinner.
