I work with an attractive 30 y/o Filipina who is an immigrant to the U.S.
My initial impression of her is that she was a "good girl" and would probably be a good wife/gf.
She was recently engaged to her b/f of nearly 2 years. Ironically enough, she had complained to me that they were fighting, the things he does to annoy her, etc. As recently as a few weeks ago, she even said she wasn't all that excited about getting married, and wouldn't mind being single.
Looking back, I think she might have wanted me to make a move, giving her an excuse to break up with the bf. But that is another story. Suffice it to say, I didn't make a move, and I'm pretty sure any shot I had is gone. She is just a "friend" from work.
Now that she is engaged, the two of them are looking for houses. She says to me: "When I get married, I'm going to work part-time."
I ask jokingly: "Does the b/f know about it? Is he ok with putting in longer hours at the office? What are you going to do with that extra time?"
Sometimes I'll throw in some jokes about spas and maids, mansions and yachts, and how she will have to get the b/f the work that much harder to keep up her luxurious lifestyle.
The strange thing is, on one level she KNOWS she is being unfair and unrealistic by expecting the future husband to work longer hours, but I doubt she will let go of those wishes, and will probably be able to manipulate him into doing what she wants.
I've seen this scenario happen time and time again. Can someone truly explain to me what man in his RIGHT mind, would consent to getting married in the modern world? What does marriage offer the man?
