In either Taiwanese or Chinese society, there was no opportunity for a person to choose his/ her spouse on his/ her own until about 100 years ago.
During those years when marriage was arranged by a matchmaker, a male usually had concubines besides his wife.
It was said that there were different standards between choosing a wife and choosing a concubine.
And the only choice for a female to avoid such fate of sharing her man with others was to be a nun.
Nowadays, a female as well as a male has the opportunity to pick her spouse on her own.
I would like to know your opinions about that, no matter a male or female, a foreigner or Taiwanese.
Honesty/Loyalty
One, and the same.
Brook:
I have strong feelings on that matter, and my thoughts are very specific.
I admire Loyalty above and beyond all virtues. Even if my spouse and I do not feel warm or loving at a particular moment, still, I feel obligated to show my loyalty. I admire most in my spouse, her loyalty to me.
Garry Andres, may I ask such a question?
When I asked to leave my boyfriend because I felt that I would love him no more.
There was nothing to do with anyone esle.
I am sure I was honest.
But do you think I was loyalty?
Bruce, once I had the same opinion as yours that loyalty is above and beyond anything else.
However, I think I am not a person of true loyalty since I have changed my mind for several times.
Though I have never fell in love with two persons at the same time.
I know that loyalty is not my first choice after all.
But I still admire the loyalty between you and your wife.
