i guess its very common. most of the divorced ladies are so desperate to find a foreign guy and start a new life.
Take a mistress instead of divorce! I never had a Chinese friend get divorced. But i need moar Chinese friends :(
It will not be looked down up on. The divorce rate is really high. In cities like Shanghai, Beijing it is now around 50%. If it is, then the rate will be much lower.
“most of the divorced ladies are so desperate to find a foreign guy and start a new life.” What does this come from?U must be mislead I guess~
Well, it's sad, people who get married r supposed to be together for the rest of their life, but people change so quick and everyone just wants to live the life, doesn't really care about responsibility stuff.What people believed turns to be bullshit nowadays.
World is dangerous!
Are you asking to decide if a trial marriage is oaky? It isn't okay. It's never okay. If you have to think about divorce, don't marry. Period.
But, it is still a bad thing.
Divorce will bring a lot of trouble, a lot of explaination, a lot of curiocity, especially in front of old people. Chinese people do not respect one's privacy as much as Westerners do. For example, parents alway talk a lot about their children's salary and job.
if you get divorced in big cities, like shanghai, beijing, nobody will look down upon you,
but if it happen in small cities, probably all your friends and even your neighbours will look down upon u,,,,
they have husband working in a city and wife in another , meet once or twice a year .. who would not get divorced ?
government should really solve this problem
Traditionally divorce was a shameful loss of face for the entire family since the family approved of the marriage.
As people make their own choices and females obtain economic independence, females are the moving force behind most of the divorces. Divorce is still a shame and loss of face but this is changing.
Divorced women are hard to find the next husband, while divorced men are said to be more worthy to marry. It sounds unfair.
