A single mom with two youngsters, I not too long ago met a South Korean man who’s 5 years older than me, single, and childless.
My eldest baby is at college, and the youthful one is in highschool. My husband handed away when our youthful child was simply over a 12 months outdated, and I’ve been a single guardian since then. My job as a public officer brings in about VND10 million (US$411) month-to-month, making elevating two youngsters fairly difficult.
As my youngsters have grown extra unbiased, I’ve discovered extra time for myself. Becoming a member of teams for single individuals worldwide, I’ve met new individuals, discovered rather a lot about completely different cultures, and broadened my horizons.
I began speaking with a South Korean man not too long ago. He lives together with his aged mom close to Seoul and has a manager-level place at his firm, fairly than working in handbook labor or engineering.
He has proposed marriage to me and has stated that my youthful baby and I can transfer to South Korea, as my older baby prefers to remain in Vietnam for profession prospects. He stated I can spend time studying the language and adjusting to South Korean life at first earlier than finally discovering a job in order that I can contribute to our household financially.
I like his dedication and his willingness to decide to spending the remainder of his life with me. Regardless of years of single parenthood, I nonetheless search companionship, particularly as my youngsters are actually extra self-sufficient.
Nevertheless, marrying a foreigner and relocating overseas is formidable to me. My information of South Korean life is restricted, leaving me with issues about potential challenges, together with employment prospects at my age. I can’t predict which obstacles I’ll should cope with after relocating there both.
Alternatively, staying in Vietnam means persevering with my present job for about 5 extra years after which having fun with a modest, peaceable retirement.
What ought to I do? Can somebody, particularly these with expertise in South Korea, give me recommendation?
