Thread: sounds familiar?

    Default sounds familiar?

    A young British friend of mine is in kind of a pickle. This is what he has told me so far...

    His Japanese girlfriend of just about half a year is kinda high-maintenance in that she wants just about everything she sees in the brand shops in Ginza and Nihonbashi. He thought he loved her and until now also thought she was probably the perfect girl for him. This whole thing about being obsessed with shopping and stuff has him thinking twice now, though. Nothing seems to be enough with this girl... It's like she has a huge gap to fill. I don't have the details though.

    He's got a good job and works really hard and can thus afford her vices but he's thinking that the paying everything for her kinda relationship has gone a bit too far. She has indicated she wants to marry him but he believes that such step at least requires to include a give and take deal and at the moment he feels that he's pretty much the only one giving. He wants her to start giving too. They have sex but he wants more. Affection and that kinda stuff...

    Just a few days ago, she told him she's pregnant with his baby and although he wants to tell her that he's happy, he has these serious doubts about the relationship (se above). This is because of what she expects from him out of the relationship. He believes that in the end (especially with a child) it's gonna break him financially and perhaps even mentally.

    Now he's pondering whether he loves her enough to go through with the whole thing. He told me in confidence that he might not have loved her from the start and that it was all based on attraction only. He's afraid that all the things he buys for her with his credit card(s) might not be enough for her (them) in the end to stay into a marriage. He thinks it's just gonna be a matter of time before the whole thing blows up. And then what? He's heard about the sexless/loveless marriages with Japanese women and is anxious to end up like that - like a stranger bringing back home his salary and nothing more.

    Now that she's pregnant, he ought do the right thing.
    Having doubts is natural. But I'm sure this guy has also got a materialistic side too, otherwise he would never have spent his time at Louis Vitton/Coach/Gucci/Tiffany in Ginza buying her designer goods in the first place. I bet they're a good fit after all.
    This goes to prove once again that money can't buy you love and he was stupid for trying to be her sugar daddy. Unless they end up a happy couple. In that case maybe a little money did them some love.

    I have this image in my head of the final walk to the gallows. The wedding should be thrilling. Give her a Gold Visa card as a present.

    P.S. Not a pickle - quicksand.

    Should have wrapped it up with a materialistic brand monger like that.

    Maybe he should start putting the morning after pill in her miso-shiru in the morning?

    Sorry, I never bother to click on your links or watch your videos. I guess I don`t have as much free time as you do.
    Anyway, the english friend you mentioned is a dude in a video, huh?
    Does that mean that you confirm that you really don`t have any friends? LOL

    By the way, congratulations on getting banned again, f@g.
    I bet your new account`s post count is already in the hundreds.
    Mangez mon pain, messieurs.

    One of them has nearly hit 150!

    I think they just watch him, then wait till he gets between 1,500 and 2,000 posts...then ban him again...just for fun.

    That would be hilarious.
    I`m sure he flies into his traditional hissyfit rage every single time it happens.
