A Singaporean man recently posted on Facebook after he felt that good Singaporean girls which are wife material are hard to find as they prefer to be a tai tai after marriage and depend on him for money and also his family’s inheritance.
Here is the full story.
I am a 27 years old single guy this year. My parents have been asking me to find a partner and settle down, start my career and family etc etc.
However, I am difficulty finding a suitable partner that I am willing to settle down with.
Maybe my expectations is too high or unrealistic. But I kinda expect my partner to be like my mom. (Which I look up with inspirations).
You see, I really respect my mom because when she married my dad during the 70s, my dad was a pauper which only had secondary school education. While my mom graduated from NTU. When they got married he had less than $200 to his name. Yet my mom still married him.
From there, they worked hard together doing their business together and managed to do very well. In fact they have a few million dollars in assets and cash and they are already in retirement mode, ready to hand the business over to my brother and I.
Back to topic, I am difficulty finding a suitable partner that I am willing to settle down with. I just cant seem to find a partner that is willing to sacrifice with me just like how my mom to my dad. Its like all my previous partners, they seem to have that expectation that they will inherit my money when they get married and they just don’t seem to have that drive I saw in my mom. Knowing about my family background, they expect so much from me, yet I do not see them putting in any effort or wanting to work towards a common goal with me. Its always give give give and they give nothing in return. One of them even said she wanted to be a tai tai and travel the world…. (Super turn-off)
Should I accept that women like my mom don’t exist anymore and settle down for the sake of settling down?
