I’ve been married to my Thai wife, for nearly ten years. We have two wonderful kids, and life has been good.

Until recently, that is she has always been controlling in our relationship, but lately, it has become extreme. Every aspect of our lives is managed and dictated by her. She decides where we go, what we do, and even how much money I can spend. She’s always checking up on me and asking where I am and who I’m with.

She even follows me sometimes

I feel like I’m living in a prison.

It’s not just the controlling nature that’s causing me distress. She is very rude and ungrateful. She constantly belittles me and insults me in front of others. She also tries to control our children, which I won’t tolerate.

I try to talk to her about it, but she just accuses me of not understanding her and not respecting her. She says that I’m too weak and that she needs to do this to protect me and the family.

I know that she loves me, but her over-controlling behaviour is taking a toll on our relationship. I’m starting to feel like I can’t trust her and that I can’t be myself around her. I’m constantly anxious and on edge.

I want to work on our relationship and make it better, but I’m not sure how. I can’t continue living like this.

I’ve heard of people going to marriage counselling, but she refuses to go. She says that she doesn’t need any help and that she knows what she’s doing. I’m not sure what else I can do.

I know that she is a good person and that she means well, but she needs to learn how to be less controlling. I want her to be happy and to be able to trust me, but I can’t do that if she’s constantly trying to control me.

I know that she looks nice, touches nice, and even F nice, but I can’t take this over-controlling behaviour anymore. I’m at my wit’s end and I need help.

As a parent, there is no greater joy than being able to instill your mother-tongue in your children. For generations, language has been a key part of our cultural identity and a powerful way to connect with our roots.

Unfortunately, this is becoming increasingly difficult for many Singaporean parents, as it appears that more and more of our youngsters are unable to speak their mother-tongue properly.

It has been a source of embarrassment for many of us as we witness our children speaking the language with mistakes, making us doubt ourselves as parents and leaving us feeling helpless. It is a growing problem in Singapore and one that needs to be addressed urgently.

The first thing that needs to be done is to figure out why our children are having difficulty in learning the language. It could be due to the fact that English is the main language of instruction in schools and English is also used in most of the conversations at home. This has resulted in a lack of exposure to our mother-tongue, leading to our children being unable to pick up the language properly.

It could also be due to the fact that our children are growing up in a highly digitised world with an ever-growing reliance on technology. With so much of their time spent in front of screens, it is no wonder that they are not able to pick up the proper pronunciation and inflection of their mother-tongue.

This has led to a situation where many Singaporean parents are now worried that their children will not be able to communicate properly in their mother-tongue. This is not only a source of embarrassment for us, but it is also a loss of a key part of our culture and heritage.

To address this issue, we need to start by creating more opportunities for our children to be exposed to their mother-tongue. This can be done by introducing more mother-tongue classes in schools, as well as encouraging parents to speak their language at home.

We also need to make sure that our children have access to materials and resources that can help them learn the language. This can include books, online resources, and even apps that can help them practice and gain a better understanding of their mother-tongue.

Finally, we need to lead by example. We need to make sure that we are speaking our mother-tongue properly and setting a good example for our children to follow. This can be done by regularly engaging in conversations with our children in our mother-tongue and actively correcting any mistakes they make.

It is clear that more needs to be done to ensure that our children are able to speak their mother-tongue properly. As parents, we have a responsibility to ensure that our children are able to communicate in their mother-tongue, as it is a key part of our cultural identity. We must take steps to ensure that our youngsters are able to speak our language with confidence and without embarrassment.

I was making breakfast for my wife and children. As I cooked, I was filled with a sense of dread. I wasn’t sure how much longer I could remain in this marriage.

My wife and I had been married for ten years, but for the last five it had been a living hell. She was constantly nagging me, belittling me, and treating me like I was beneath her. I had tried to talk to her about it, but she had refused to listen or take any responsibility for her behavior. I had tried to get her to go to counseling, but she had refused to go.

All I wanted was to be happy, but I felt like I was stuck in this miserable marriage because I was afraid of what my mother would do if I tried to get a divorce. My mother was an extremely religious woman and had made it clear to me that she would disinherit me if I ever got a divorce.

I knew that my mother was not an unreasonable person, but I was scared of her reaction.

I was also afraid of the stigma that would come with getting a divorce in my community. I was ashamed of myself for being so weak and not standing up for what I wanted.

The truth was, my wife was not the woman I had married. She had changed over the years, and I had tried to make it work, but I was exhausted and felt like I had no other choice. I was stuck in this relationship and it was destroying me.

I knew that I should have the courage to make a change, but I was too scared to take the plunge. I was afraid of what people would think of me and what my mother would do. I was also afraid of the financial implications of a divorce.

So I stayed in this miserable marriage, day after day, feeling trapped and powerless. I had to pretend to be happy, while inside I was dying. I was living a lie, and it was slowly killing me.

I had reached a point where I was so desperate for change, that I was willing to take drastic measures. I was about to take a huge risk and leave my wife, when something unexpected happened.

My mother had a heart attack and passed away. With her death, the fear of her disinheritance was gone. I had finally been given the freedom to make a change.

I decided that I had to take a stand for myself and leave my wife. It was a difficult decision, but I knew it was the only way I could find happiness again.

I finally had the courage to make the change I had so desperately wanted. I got a divorce, and for the first time in years, I felt free.

My mother’s death had been the catalyst that allowed me to find the strength to make a change. I was grateful that I had been given the chance to start fresh and find the happiness I had been searching for. I had finally been able to break free from my miserable marriage and start a new life for myself.

It’s funny how the world works. Just a couple of months ago, my friend was the butt of jokes for his “boring” life. I mean, he works a nine to five job and comes home to his family. Not exactly exciting for the people around us. But then, something happened.

My friend started posting pictures on social media of himself travelling around the world, and of course, everyone was jealous. He was living the life people only dream of. But I knew the truth. His wife, a flight attendant, has been giving him promo tickets aka jumpseats to travel with her.

At first, I was really proud of him for taking advantage of this opportunity and doing something so amazing. But then, I started noticing how people were responding to his posts. Everywhere he went, he got comments about how rich he must be to be able to afford such extravagant trips. The thing is, they weren’t taking into account the fact that he was just using the jumpseats.

Even though I had known my friend for years and knew his financial situation, they were still convinced that he was some kind of trust fund baby. It was really frustrating.

But then, something else happened. People started to mock my friend for “showing off” his travels. They said he was trying to make everyone else feel bad for not having the same kind of life. It was really hurtful to see people talking about my friend like that.

I knew the truth, but I was powerless to do anything about it. I just had to sit there and watch as my friend got made fun of for something that wasn’t even true. It was really hard to see.

I need to confess…

I met my wife 5 years back ago, when we were about to graduate. The first time I saw her, I told to myself “She’s the girl I want to marry. She’s the girl I want by my side. She’s the girl I want to protect.” But she was taken at that time.

A part of me felt so lost and wanted her so badly. A part of me felt I shouldn’t disturb her and I should move on. I couldn’t. So I stalked all her social media, be friends with her friends and got introduced as a “mutual friend”. When we officially met for the first time, things were already not looking good between she and her boyfriend at the time. I took my chance to fill his spot and constantly gave her my support, my love. And eventually, she fell in love with as well. She decided to break it off with her then-boyfriend, although she didn’t know I knew everything about her prior beforehand thus I was able to be the perfect listener for her.

As we got together and with marriage coming into my mind but she was still not ready, I did a bold decision. I babytrapped her on purpose as I thought, “with our kid, she will be with me forever. She will never leave me and she HAS TO marry me”. In the end she was furious when she got pregnant, but quickly let go of the issue as she thought we are both responsible.

Flashback to now looking at our 3 years old daughter and her, she’s still the same girl I want to take care for the rest of my life. Although we are financially stable and have a happy family right now while even waiting for our BTO, I feel so extremely guilty. I felt she will hate me, if she knew what really happened. I know I will probably take this secret to my grave, although I will have to carry this guilt for the rest of my life.

I’m sorry, but I love you too much. I know I was selfish, but I will spend the rest of my life making up to you.

I’ve opened a Pandora’s box…

Just want to vent this out here and hear your thoughts.

I met this guy through dating app. We clicked and he got me pregnant after years of being in an r/s. We also got married.

Currently I am still in my maternity leave. I am staying at home most of the time and taking care of the baby. One night, I was just feeling nostalgic how we started from dating app to this and I decided to backread our first conversation in his WS. I used his because I accidentally uninstalled my WS app earlier this year and I failed to have a backup of our conversation thread. I typed “hotel” in the search thread cos as consenting adults, we went to hotel when we were just starting and I wanna read how we progress from there, getting into relationship and marrying each other.

But as I was scrolling to the year when we first met, I saw some conversation with “hotels” too and how they had S, etc. I was flabbergasted and I don’t know how to react.

In summary, this is the timeline. We first met on *insert date*. One week later, he had S with this other woman he met in the app. One week later, we met again and kissed. Four days later, he had S again with that woman. Two days later, he met with me in the hotel but we didn’t have S that time though we made out. It was only two weeks later after we decided to be exclusive to each other but not officially tgt yet.

I didn’t know any of his escapades until now. Not that his body count matters to me cos to be fair, we weren’t in a relationship that time so technically he was still single. But what bothers me is that what if we were having S that time when he was hooking up with that woman? I think I couldn’t take it…

Moving forward, I lowkey asked him if he had any ons/ fubu/fwb before meeting me and he said no. I was just appalled how he could lie to me, or maybe he just really doesn’t want me to know that part of his past..

I felt that I have opened a Pandora’s box and tbh I still love him the same. He has been a wonderful husband and father. I am aware that those are things from the past and what matters is the present and the future. Though, I felt relieved that I didn’t have S with him that time that he was shagging other woman. Also, he also has been faithful to me eversince we decided to become exclusive until we officially dating. I am just feeling betrayed on how he lied to me.

Because I would appreciate his honesty— that’ll only imply that he trusts me with his deepest and darkest secrets, but unfortunately he didn’t…

the dating world and the employment world are the same.

for guys out there who are looking for a hot girl, then you have to spend.

from our perspective, our youth are limited, why not optimise the youth

go on vacations, eat great food, receive gifts

in addition we also look at the prospective-in-laws

will the guy be able to buy a nice condo, own nice car

will the parents be able to help?

once again, it is not us being materialistic but the nature of life

we will need to protect our short term and long term interest

looks, wealth or the potential for wealth, personality

you need to have minimally 2.

even when you go for a job interview, you look at the starting pay and the potential for increment

some guys claim true devotion. true devotion doesnt work that way.

when a younger newer girl comes, your true devotion will vanish into thin air

hence, true devotion has no value. we need something tangible

even in the unfortunate event of divorce we can get half of the matrional assets

TLDR: you have to be realistic. if you are average, settle for a even slighty more average girl. someone who is willing to bto a 3 room hdb with you. but even then 10 years down the road, the girl will start to complain and compare you to her friends’ husband, like you complain your employer isnt paying you enough
