Question - (28 May 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 28 May 2009)
A female United States age 41-50, *pplus writes:

I met my b/f for couple years , we had been talking and sharing some good and bad things together. When I met him in person, it was very hard for me to understand him.Our cultures are not be the same. Once I asked him to go out for breakfast, I looked after him by cleaning his mouth and get rid the foods. He talked to me, pls don't do that he is not a baby. He is more independent. From my thought he was hurt my feeling because it means to me to look after him. As he is a single parent with one teenager kid. I knew that would not easy with us to share to do things together. As his boy is more demanding, sometime It made me feel so bored and I had to be very patient with him. I did not stay with him as I need to stay closed to the city, I was so confused about his thought.I expect to recieve some sms from him what he had done , or what was going on with him. But it was nothing..I am not sure that he still wants his independent , not to be connected with me.

Anyway, I am not trying to make up my mind not to be expected more about him. I would like to ask anyone here, how I have to handle with him. Do I just stay away and leave him alone.?

HI, I met him almost every weekend about 4 months since I came back here. I am asian and he is american, that the reason why our cultures are different. In my culture what we try to do for our partner , it always express our caring to him. However as I found that we both did not get along in the same way. I try to be with him and his kid, eventhough his kid is quite annoying us. Like I say if he sees me and his dad together , he will come and try to get some attention from his dad. I totally have no idea why he wants to do that.

Yeah, that's a little too much to wipe off someone's mouth when they are eating. Did you just meet him the one time? I'm not sure what culture you are from but most grown men don't want to be treated like babies. Your feelings were hurt but what you did was pretty invasive and most Americans would find that rude. Do you live in the same city? I'm a little confused about how long you've been together and how many times you've met.
