Utopia probably does not exist and many decisions in life are a comprimise. They can also be viewed as challenges. I do not find it all that strange for a women of today to openly express what she wants. Perhaps better than a hidden list of items or secret agendas. To me what she stated where the average norms in todays world.

. The cultural differance between the two of you can work either way. Again one hell of a lot of variables as usual in any potential relationship. Plus a few extras thrown in it seems. My guess is that you will decide if you are up to the challenge or not. She has so to speak put the cards on the table.

As we get older the actual choices perhaps increase but most of them will not be workable. A friend of mine delayed getting married for a long time. He thought experience in life perhaps would help him.

It backfired in my opinion. He will not even live long enough to see his son reach the age of majority. I asked him years ago the reason he was getting married to her. He told me she was kind of subserviant.

I never had the heart to tell him they do not really make models like that or if they really do would be rare.. Actually she turned out to be one of the most demanding wives I have ever seen.
