Q: Western man restpectful but some nonsense?

I dont want entertain the stereotype, but i have question about western man relation with crying and yelling,

I had several western bf in past few years. American, Canadian and Dutch. I realized something odd in all them, my Chinese friend say most of their western bf are like, it's normal but i find it weird, because its so different from Chinese man.

 

I find western to have more standard (again, not generelizing) as they are strict, and not jealous because i make me pretty for him. they less cheap too, and shower gift more easily.

 

Most of time, when I'm not pretty enough because I didnt have time to put makeup or dress as to be enough desirable for him, he yell at me a lot. It make me cry, because he say very mean things, but usually he apologize after, saying it for my own good. I can leave with that, because from my experience it have to do with western culture. all my friend have similar experience, so i guess its ok, and better than chinese bf boring.

 

so i work hard to be pretty. but it happens, when we go out, that my bf drink a lot. sometimes i say things he dont like, but he understand that he cant yell at me in public, because you dont do that. but when we go home, he sometime get more violent. it happens few time he hit me. i had black eye once, and i cannot go out with black eye.

 

i dont understand why western men hit their gf. on one side they want us pretty, but they make it difficult sometime. I liked my western bf bcuse they was manly, more manly than chinese, but after they punch me, the day after, they cry at me to apologize.

 

why the opposition?

 

and why would they make it harder to be pretty? again, i dont want to generalize, but all my experiences was like that, and i have a lot of friends who lived same experience...

 

Is it common with western man? i like western culture, and want to know more.

 

Thank you a lot

First, he isn't being protective of you, he is trying to own you. Big difference. He is treating you like property, making you bend to his will. If he is hitting you because you don't hve make up on or you aren't wearing what he wants you to wear or doing what he is demanding you do.. that is on him. HIM hitting you is NEVER EVER NEVER your fault. No adult should be hitting any other person when they are supposed to be in a loving relationship.

Like everyone has said, you need to leave him. Move on. There will be other guys, and most will treat you with the respect you deserve. And if they don't, move on again. If you have to ask a question like this on a site like this, then you already know this is bad behavior on his part. 

if you do break up with him, avoid him at all costs. Abusers can escalate and get angrier and more violent, whether you stay with him or not. Just be careful.

I dunno,,ever seen some of those before and after pics of chinese women and makeup,, before kinda homely, after a babe, would never recognise her. Maybe she's scarey without makeup? Still no reason to abuse her tho.

For some reason, I would only believe about half of the post. And as a Western Man in a Chinese relationship I would say that the Chinese women are the abusive ones in regards to hitting

I'm chinese, my advice for you is LEAVE him, once he hit u, it's over.

My bf(he is american,24 years old)   never hit me  or even yell at me, he treats me like a lady all the time, not just at the beginning of our relationship, its been one and half years now.  He always say i am so pretty even without makeup, and he want me wear COMFORTABLE shoes ... of course I CHOOSE what I want to wear . He is such a gentleman to me. His family is VERY NICE too... And I think most man prefer girls wear little make up not too much...

So I think you should really be careful of who you are dating and take care of yourself.

How old are you? You sound like a kid, really. If a man hits you, there is really no explanation for that. Leave him or stay which is obviously you would do. And have fun when you go out, get drunk!

No matter weatern men or chinese men, treat each other with respect is the most important for couples. Words from “Anna Karenina”, All happy families resemble one another, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

So, leave him as soon as you can.
