It depends on the couple's priorities in life.<br /><br />My colleague is not so much a traditional person, but his wife-to-be is. Hence, he is accommodating to her family's preference. From the looks of it, he seems resigned to his fate and is willing to go with whatever her family prefers...Unintelligent Nerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17797052565143872922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6025037118864383396.post-25421376534851261742017-05-02T06:14:18.394+08:002017-05-02T06:14:18.394+08:00Yah lor.

One needs to set boundaries that he is comfortable with & understand the various repercussions. And doing it together with your significant other so that both are united & committed.<br /><br />For e.g. your colleague could have foregone the expensive traditional marriage rituals & dowry gold; for matrimonial flat can go for 3-rm BTO in non-mature estate. As for the lousy wholelife, either treat as sunk cost & terminate, or continue for time-being as a lousy low-to-no return savings.<br /><br />At end of day, one needs to decide that with limited resources, do you want to use up those resources in the short-run to appear normal and typical, or to husband the limited resources & set your own path?Spurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11824813457786462446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6025037118864383396.post-51482085092913379502017-05-01T21:52:25.581+08:002017-05-01T21:52:25.581+08:00It seen that most men who is getting married may h...It seen that most men who is getting married may have this financial woe without their parental financial support.Createwealth8888https://www.blogger.com/profile/08563834016250153049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6025037118864383396.post-47890206134870997152017-05-01T20:15:46.654+08:002017-05-01T20:15:46.654+08:00LOL.
