On the 25th of December MinYing hired a translator to attend the "meeting" with the family and for us to discuss our future and plans together, I told the family that MinYing and myself would be able to return to Handan every year to stay with the family for a month or so, The brother asked if we might buy an apartment in Handan so we would have some where to stay with every time we do return, I thought that this might be a good idea and i asked the average price of them in the city, They sounded to be well priced so i said to the translator that it would be something that i would discuss with my wife when i next return in the middle of the year.
Yesterday i got an e,mail from my wife ,,,she wrote "John, do you remember the PROMISE that you made with my family to buy an apartment in handan when you return in the midyear,?, I know your current financial situation and i was surprised that you said that we would buy the apartment in the mid year,,How are we going to do this"'?, It seems that something was lost in translation,,
How am i going to save face with the family?, I DO NOT make promises that i can not keep, I was stunned at this e,mail ,, I replied to MinYing twice with the dis-belief of her letter, She has not replied to me, She has also not replied to my text messages, I know she is having problems with her phone at the moment and i hope this is the case for not not replying to me,,I had a sleepless night about this PROMISE,, I explained in my e,mail that it was badly translated but no reply,,,The last thing is for her family,And her to think that i am not a man of my word , I have had a real shit day today, I do not know what to do, She , is the light of my life and i do not want her to think badly of me, What can i do?.
