Blimey! Just been chatting on QQ with my lady for 3 hours. We covered a hell of a lot of ground in that time. Hopes, fears, worries, the future, our marriage, language, computers, Zhangjiajie, children, other people's opinions, family, life in England, cartoons.
Not to say we haven't discussed this before, but not in such concentrated doses. It was honest, serious, and heavy stuff from both sides, but we both felt much better having cleared the air and felt closer to each other in terms of understanding and affection.
You can keep your scantily-clad Changsha hotties. Nothing beats my beautiful, honest, Changsha fiancee. Her honesty is sexier than any flowered-up EMF.
She still worries about most everything. We met a couple at the Changsha marriage registry in December, a hot-headed Jordanian man and his Chinese wife. Apparently, this woman told my lady that she didn't think our marriage would last. Well, I reminded my fiancee that she didn't know us, and that ours was the most important opinion, and that I don't care what strangers think. She agreed with me. I also told her that my parents are from different countries, speaking different languages when they met (French and English), and that this year they will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary, and that I believe that our marriage will be like theirs.
I feel like we've turned a corner
