I will start by copying the few posts that has been discussed earlier in the other thread. I welcome more bros with vietnamese life partners to contribute to this thread. let's share our experience.

THanks for such a thread. I personally have not got any dealing with vietnam gals yet. It is very interesting and many brothers have given their personal experiences!
I will share my experience on my GF from indonesia. Yes, pretty much the same. They place their family on top, their sisters and brothers, and parents on top of almost everything.
And usually, they rather listen to their family advise than to rational thinking that we have over here. It got me really piss off at times. Even we are together for a few years only, I have helped to improve much of their family kampong life. The family back there got better furnitures, cars, motorbikes and so on.
$$ is not a big issue, but at least think rationally before making comments or their die hard customs. Sometimes, somethings does not make logical sense or it is not necessary in our more advance medical facilities.
Life with my GF(OC) has been good. The family accpeted me and I am happy about it. just sometimes, I rather not handle their family side problems as it will be never ending. $$$ is the top issue and I make it clear that I will only help out so much. Or else it will be a never ending digger at your door step.
Of cos, at times, I have to fork out abit more.
Visiting them in a Kampong in Sumatra is more meeting people than relaxing. There are so many relatives that my GF want me to meet, always showing off her new found "hubby".
Over time, she come to realise that we are from different world and she has to adapt to the new lifestyle that we are in. It takes time and patience to get along with each other and I never regard having her to be a companion.
Still some old habits die hard and we will turn dark face over trival matters. But that is always over in no time.
It seems that they are more accepting that husbands do stray and they do not question that much. I was told of a saying among the woman here which I find it so true
" If hubby not at home, cannot be considered your hubby".
To those who choose overseas woman, I congrate you to have found your love. And it depends on each person too. There is no absolute good or bad about overseas woman. Up to individduals.
Life is short, treasure the ones that you have found. Over the years, I have seen many, and end of the day, trust your heart, you will not live with regrets after that.
