Does she already have a permanent residence?


No


Well, I guess it's obvious now what she's after, this crazy rush for marriage makes it so obvious.

You're living with a marriage scam.


If she tells you 'But Chinese...and Chinese bla bla' tell her to bug off, even Eastern cultures don't rush into marriage that fast.

I wasn't arguing with you, I was thinking out loud.

Unfortunately she's too smart for that. She already knows I know Chinese people don't get married that fast.

Um. Dude. Hello?

You shouldn’t stick up for her if she was in the wrong just because you’re dating her. That’s ridiculous.

It seems like you’re a pretty real man to me. Sensible.

To be honest, if it was me, I’d tell her to pack her things and get out. End it on your terms. You’re just being used.

You seem to have resonable luck, you’ll find someone else.

Yeah I can find someone else but that won't necessarily mean I'm lucky. After my experiences with various different girls starting a relationship sounds like it could be worse than being single.

I definitely agree with you there, it’s better to have no relationship than a toxic one.

I would say it really is time to end this relationship.

You both seem to be terrible for each other. She is expecting someone more traditional, someone who will marry her NOW and allow her to have babies, and you basically just want someone to keep you company without too many demands on your interests.

You would both be better off to just cut your losses and end it.

For the record, I think you could have at least stepped in and said something - something like "what happened?" You don't necessarily have to do anything or say anything committal. But at least shown some concern.

And as an aside, as far as the Apple watch (or any gift for that matter) - the important thing is what does the OTHER person want/like. That you hate Apple is irrelevant. The watch isn't for you. It's for her. SHE likes it. When you give gifts you try to get something that the OTHER person likes. (That's beside the point anyway because I think it's a bit odd that she seems to be constantly wanting you to buy her things.)

I’ll probably deconstruct more of this later if I get a chance. I’m intrigued by the whole thing. I like this post, and I’m not sure I could summarize my own feelings any better than this.

And BIG DITTOS on the Apple Watch thing. If your gf were real, I’d insist on you buying her one. But she’s about as real as an internet catfish by this point.

Ever see the Men In Black movies? I think you should ask her if she likes pie. If you happen to actually own a neuralyzer, even better.

Look, she's after a scam marriage that's for sure.


But the part when you just walked off from the argument, that's something that would anger any girlfriend, whether she's really into you or not and whether she's chinese or sweden. I am not saying you should have defended her like the white knight, but at least don't just walk off when she's in trouble!
So learn not to do that with the next gf (if you will ever have a new relationship), losing this relationship isn't a loss really.

Of course Retro will be able to find a girlfriend if he breaks up with the present person.

You'll all probably think this was a dumb thing to do but I bought her the Apple watch. Now she's being much nicer and kinder to me.
