Hi Eric

Please correct me if I’m wrong. My understanding is that you are potentially Chinese American?

I’ve done a little bit of research into dating from the Chinese perspective and there seem to be some cultural differences in dating compared to say Western Europeans.

What I learned suggested that perhaps your families might be thinking of marriage much sooner and there is some expectation to show that you can provide.

This seems in keeping with the thoughts you shared. Would you say that is accurate? I’m sorry if I have misunderstood anything. I’m trying to understand any cultural differences.

I think given what I’ve learned and what you’ve shared your decision seems reasonable and like a a very good idea given this context.

I’m actually glad that you make decisions on your own and don’t feel the need to take advice just because it is offered. I can definitely be wrong. You can be proud that you can decide on these things for yourself.

Thank you for explaining your situation about how the not posting of your relationship came about. I agree with you, it sounds like the right time to share it.

On the off chance someone posts anything negative you can always delete their comments. I hope that no one does that. This is another good situation to watch play out and consider. Do my fears come true, or don’t they?

Wishing you all the best! 🙏
