Hello all! I am coming here today because my husband and I are going through a really really difficult time these days and it makes me wonder more and more if what he has told me about Korean women is true or if he is just making stuff up to manipulate me. So what he has told me about Korean women is that GENERALLY Korean women tend to be very disciplined and have really high standards when it comes to relationships.
What I have been thinking lately is if what my husband says is true of Korean women then he wouldn’t be considered a desired partner for Korean women either. We had a huge fight a few nights ago and he made comments like Korean ladies or ladies in general would be so happy to have him as a husband and that I take him for granted. So my question is to Korean women since he has made it clear that I am below par, what is the general dynamic between Korean men and women in a relationship? I understand this is VERY broad and that every relationship is different, but for example, in my country, the men typically take on the role of leader and provider while the women have children and take care of the household. Of course not everyone is like this but there is a general standard give or take some differences. Do Korean women put up with controlling and dominating behavior from Korean men? My husband makes it seem like this is normal Korean life and relationships.
Our relationship is like that of a teacher and a student if the teacher had a god complex lol. He criticizes me for everything and wants to lead me, but also wants my opinion. I’m struggling to understand him and find a middle ground we can both be happy on. I’ve also talked to a few other foreign women married to Korean men and a lot of our experiences and stories literally match up word for word like if all our husbands took a class together on how to treat your wife.
I’m sorry if any of my statements seem ignorant or wrong, I’m just trying to get other Korean persons perspectives so I can try to understand my Korean husbands confusing way of thinking and behaving.
