Thanks for the warning. I just married a Korean, and we've been having a great time together, but now I know better. I'll file for divorce immediately.

what happened to me...and I know it is because of our different cultures...we were not together that long..and it could not work because of all the obstacles...language, culture, age, family etc...so. not a warning..just a comment..and a reminder...in korea it's not a romance while travelling...

IMHO, I don't think language and culture are that big of a deal. Lying, cheating, and addictions are real problems...unless he is addicted to me and that addiction is A OK.

It won't cost you a dime. Since you're a photographer, I bet you were able to convince her to take some "art" pictures that will pop up during the divorce. Laughing Laughing Laughing

The fact that things didn't work out is not because he's Korean. Maybe you should've thought twice about marrying someone you couldn't really communicate with.

You say it's not a warning? When you tell people to "Watch out", that's usually construed as a warning.

"Once they come to N. America"? Again...it probably doesn't have anything to do with the big bad Korean guy going to N. America but more to do with the fact that it wasn't a good marriage in the first place.

Now don't make your baby suffer because of your mistakes.

I am the one ALWAYS AGAINST of marriage between Korean men and Western women, it doesn't matter it's in Korea or in States.
Sometimes it works when they are in Korea, but most of time it doesn't work when they are in States.
Believe me !!
The relationship between asian men with western women don't last long, it doesn't matter he is Korean, Chinese or Japanese, it just doesn't work.
You want to marry to Asian men ?
Marry to one who lived a long time in western society, that may OK, otherwise it doesn't work, I saw too many cases.
