Grand Fromage posted:There are still tons of sayings in Korean about how daughters are worthless parasites. I'm dealing with this sort've bullshit right now. Fiancée is having to face her father changing his mind about our wedding (he wants to delay it, again, until Spring), and in the process has called her a parasite, that she is ungrateful, blamed her mother for bringing her up like this, said that if she were his sister he would kill her (her brother stood up for her/us, so I'm guessing it was aimed at him), and that I disrespected him by not shaving off my beard when we met in person. So we'll likely scrap the Korean wedding entirely and just do it in the UK instead.

The secret to being cheap is not having a ceremony We met halfway in Hawaii and invited everyone and only 10 from each side went and a hippie blew a conch shell on a beach and we all went out for pancakes. Guy w Korean fiancee, your father-in-law will always hate you (until/even if grandkids happen) so don't even bother trying to win him over. Take her to the UK and don't look back (but maybe invite mother-in-law over because she probably hates her husband too.)

Initially father in law wanted to get me a car( even though I didn't get a house) But living in the city with no kids we really don't need one. I think 10k rmb is more than enough for 3 years worth of those uber rides. "But here ya go! Have a nice wedding just invite my relatives." Negotiating with the hotel was hilarious. Basically the room rate they gave us was more expensive than internet rate and when I tried to be diplomatic they just pretend nothing happened and told me to complain to the head office. Complained I did and now they pull a 180 as if nothing ever happened.

StevoMcQueen posted:So we'll likely scrap the Korean wedding entirely and just do it in the UK instead. This is what you should do IMO. Father-in-law isn't likely to come around, and a Korean wedding is primarily a money making opportunity for the family so by not having one, you will deny him a bunch of cash and vastly accelerate his permanent hatred of you. You want to be as detached as possible from the crazy dysfunctional Korean family, so having dad despise you will be helpful. Your fiance will never be able to detach, but if you can stay away from Korea you have a better chance of success.

Take her to the UK and don't look back (but maybe invite mother-in-law over because she probably hates her husband too.) Oh don't worry, I've read enough iterations of the China Thread to know he'd either love me, or hate me, and clearly he's gonna hate me, so beyond that initial meeting, theres no point trying to win him over and play nice. Jae (fiancée) tried to compromise and say we'd have a small, family/friends ceremony as planned in October, and would come back in Spring for an extended family and parents friends money making ceremony, but he was having none of it, because of how it might effect his reputation. A whole lifetime of temper tantrums 'til he gets his own way. And yeah, MIL is fine, and has admitted that were there not such a huge stigma attached, would've divorced him already. Sucks because my parents just said; "Welp, here's £5k for the wedding, if you need more, we can probably chip in a couple extra thou" and left us to it. Jae's parents didn't even mention a contribution, but want to veto it at the drop of a hat. Grand Fromage posted:This is what you should do IMO.

We always planned to get married in Korea for her family's benefit (and because my extended family is just parents and sister), and live in the UK, so there was already gonna be a pretty good detachment. Jae's already said that she just wants to leave Korea as soon as possible now. I've told her that her father is no longer welcome under my roof, but her mother/brother can visit all they want. I'm currently wondering whether there's any face loss for him if I return his gifts...

My first girlfriend's dad left the family because of gambling debts and ran off with a hooker and evaded child support yet claimed tax benefits. At least I knew I was dealing with a dead beat right away. I actually feel bad for my parents and parents in law chipping in because I saved a lot of money on my own for this event.

Then again sometimes I feel guilty about how snobbish, shallow, and judgemental I am because I don't just establish a connection with my partner but also with her (or maybe his one day) family. If things don't work right then I'm out. Even if the sex and personality is super good and she swallows.

The women are not nearly as messed up. Gay dudes are usually okay too, it's specifically a straight male problem. Ya there were exactly 2 Chinese dudes my age I met that were worth a drat in the years I was there.
