how well do you know and trust your vb anyway? sry if i am too straight forward? |
Put it simply, I'm going there at my own terms, not there specifically to see her parents or for them to see me. And I told her so. She said yah lah.. you always want FUN..
I've told her that I'm really a poor guy in Singapore struggling to make ends meet. And for the few times we went on holidays, I only book those 2-3 star hotels and eat at small restaurants, never those lavish ones. She has never asked me for anything in return.
At least so far so good for me. I always try to understand what they deem most important, their families etc. and I will tell them how much I love my family too. I would want to work hard and give them a better life, and she would agree whole heartedly. I would usually stop at that as I think that already sinks in. Maybe, she thinks I am at her level, striving hard to provide for the family so can empathise with me.
Things may change in the future, but at present, things are going well.
