Fine in Cambodia, but...

nice site... i am going through a lot of the same great-things/bad-things you are - mostly great! I'm a 38 year OM from america madly in love with my 19 yo Yw from Vietnam -- we''ve been together now and are planning our wedding for next year. Things are great where we live now, but I confess I don't look forward to bringing us back to the states... especially because she's very small -- she's a children's size 8; (which means she'll always be the size of an 8 year old...). Think we'll get some stares :eek: when we move back?!!

If you love this woman and want to marry her then why are you worried about something like this? you should be proud of her and love her for who she is... and Love would help you defend that issue instead of being afraid of it..... Who cares what others think...... Don't live your life for other people you do it for yourself...

You will get stares but shouldn't be bothered. If you're in love, just think for yourselves and enjoy each other and your relationship. People can be very mean sometimes, it's on us how to react. Others should mind their own business, not yours. Don't let them ruin your treasure.

Hi Cambodia,

My best friend is a Japanese woman, child size 10. (I, on the other hand am 5'10", blonde hair blue eyes - total opposites and we even get stares when we are out together - plus you can imagine what its like for us to shop together!) While she is very small, she makes great effort to dress her age, and no one ever mistakes her for a child. You may get some stares because of your size difference, (and in certain parts of the country, if you are of different races) but if you make sure she dresses like a woman, everything will be fine. Just be prepared to have a good tailor to do all the alterations!

Congratulations on your impending marriage!

Jomp riep sur or Chau depending on which part of the country you are living and welcome to ageless. Well I know what you’re going through. My OM is 44 and I’m 24 unfortunately for me I look 17 when I were regular street clothes, only around the house. My SO doesn’t look old but we don’t get many stares. Once in a while we’ll have somebody do a double take on us but that’s all and its usually because we are different race. When I do go out with my SO I dress like anybody my age. Don’t let society run your life, if you love the woman then who cares what other people say. Everyone has their own opinion on things and just because they say it doesn’t make it true. Best wishes to you and future with your SO. :)

If you guys are love each other, then guard your happiness. Don't let other's opinion determined your happiness because you'll be disappointed if you do.
Some look at you because they're jealous of what you have, some are for their own reason, you never know so, why waste your times.
congrats to you and best wishes!

uh....any single woman here....lol..

Think we'll get some stares :eek: when we move back?!!

Yes you will get some stares and may even hear some comments but don't let others run your life for this is your love and future wife.

People can be curious, jealous or just bitter about seeing a different type of relationship be it age, race or size but you need to learn to laugh and have fun with these people and you need to teach your love the same.

Best wishes to you both...

Why are afraid of bringing her back to the USA? I do not know how other folks think, but I have a very open mind when it comes to age gap and interracial relationships. I congratulate you two on your wedding, and my sincerest prayers are with you both.

If you truly love one another, age will not matter...race will not matter...and size will not matter. My wife is part Native American and is a plus size woman. She is also 22 years younger than me. Do some folks stare? Yes. But not as much as you may think. When my wife and I go out, most people in restaurants and other public places don't even bat an eyelash about the age difference [or anything else for that matter].

My recommendation: when you do bring your new bride here, it would do both of you well to locate some groups in the community who focus on Asian culture. This will give her a "home away from home" plus it will educate you more on her culture and how Vietnamese and other Asians adapt to life in America.
