聊天口语跨国婚姻

和老外聊天地道口语：跨国婚姻

S: why? Did tom pop the question?

N: not yet. But I wonder if I can get my parents’ consent.

S: let me guess, your parents want you to marry a Chinese man, right?

N: you are right. It is giving me a real headache. I feel like I’m between a rock and a hard place.

S: I used to have the same problem when I was with my ex.

N: oh, how did you deal with it?

S: I just let it go and continued dating with my Korean boyfriend. But finally we broke up.

N: oh, it’s a pity. What was the matter?

S: simple. We had personality clashes and there were too many cultural differences.

N: like what?

S: he hoped to live in the Korean way and asked me to give up working and stay at home to take care of the family.

N: Oh, I see. In their culture women should put family first.

S: yes, he said it would be batter for me and for the whole family. But I simply can not quit working.

N: so that's why it’s hard to have a happy marriage with a foreigner.

S: not really. There are many successful mixed marriage around us.
