I agree with almost everything you have all said.

I know sometimes I should shut up or make a white lie when talking with my wife instead of blurting out the truth without thinking about it first.

just a bad habit I have.

I will never be violent in any way to my wife or any woman ever;
mostly because that's how I was taught to live, and I believe in karma.

faught is a word, right?

to those with loved ones, you gotta admit that make up sex is great,
isn't it? Wink

I also said she looked good and I thought it would feel good for both of us.



I haven't read the whole thread, but this sure doesn't make it sound like an innocent, friendly,hug. She looked good and it felt good? And you told your wife this? Confused

I hug everyone at home, in Korea I save hugs for my closest Korean female friends, and never Korean men.

Sorry, but your wife had a right to feel jealous. You told her her friend looked good enough to hug, not that you hugged her out of friendship. I suspect you were tweeking your wife and provoking jealousy. I had a partner like this once- he liked to try to make me jealous at every turn, and then would act the innocent party. It's not a fun game when you are on the receiving end of it. Confused

Joyfulgirl and Natalia: some cultural context is in order. While I agree that this kind of territorial behaviour/jealousy should be dealt with more reasonably, a male/female hug means something really different in Korea.

To gauge how you might feel, replace hug with brief kiss on the lips. Male/female hugs are just not done over here. When one of my students went to America to study, I counselled him about how to touch men (don't, other than a handshake or a brief, crotchless hug) and told him that we don't consider male/female hugs a big deal. He practically did a little dance on the spot.

In my kingdom, one is either a born hugger and does it without much thinking, major preparation or a running start -- or one is not. A natural-born hugger does it constantly, indiscriminately, all over the place. It's just part of who they are. They neither need prior permission, nor do they time their hugs. They can pull it off; others looks stupid or lecherous for trying.

This checking-it-with-the-wife-beforehand thing just makes it too odd, too unnatural, and too obvious that the OP isn't really a "hugger" like those found in nature.

"She looks hot. This is gonna be hot. But I'll limit it to 2 seconds. That suit you, honey?"

You can't change people. You can't force them to be comfortable with what they are not comfortable with. You don't do anything to make your wife jealous no matter what. Good luck with your marriage,you need it.

Unless they are hot and make more money then you do; In that case promise to love, honor and obey them.

hmmm... NO

hot + insecure = friends with benefits (no commitment)
hot + secure = possible relationship

why put up with immaturity and over the top jealousy?
I guess some guys don't feel they deserve any better.

[quote="ed"]it began a few days ago. I gave a woman a hug and when my wife saw it she got really angry.

this woman has been a friend of ours for a long time now and has been single for a long time, so months ago when she visited us I asked my wife and her if I could give her a hug and they both said yes so I did.

my wife has been angry for days now and says her friendship with the lady is ruined and occasionally she uses violence with me when her anger really flares.

now I'm wondering if I don't understand her reaction because she is Korean and I am Canadian or because I am man and she is woman.

what do you think?[/quote]







I think you are a troll, a korean one at that. You have to be a little more convincing to get past this lot buddy!

Enjoy it while you can. Make up sex will become far and between as the years go by, but the arguments will be just as frequent.

Oh yeah? I showed my wife this picture of me with a coworker and it sent her into a jealous rage. She wanted to go to my office and tell her that I'm her property.



I've got more too. I took pictures of a Korean-American girl getting her head shaved into a mohawk (in her bra), and she automatically assumed I was having an affair with this girl (and not the butch chick with the razor).

Her reasoning in both cases was that these girls were making these aggressive moves in order to move in on her territory. She considered it deliberately disrespectful, and sending a threat to her. Also, because I didn't resist/put the camera away and go home, I was showing them that I didn't love her.

Have you ever played the role of an accountant in an old Polish movie?

Divorce her.

You don't need women. They are an encumbrance.
