My parents are from China, arranged marriage, there was like a time where they used to argue a lot about stuff… financially related stuff… I overheard my mom threatening divorce, I mean, she was the aggressor to be clear, my mom made the most money in the household and she was just mad at my dad for, and I quote, “such a useless man”, I mean this is mom that called me and my brother useless kids too…

I remember feeling so scared about the threat of divorce, like I’d probably have to follow my mom purely for the better financial stability, but then I feel like my mom would’ve gotten even more abusive since without the stable household, and I felt an overwhelming sense of dread… I was a teen during that time…

But luckily the divorce never happened… I’m assuming they stayed together for us, their kids.

Honestly if me and my brother died, I bet their marriage is like instantly over.

Children are like the main purpose of marriages in conservative households.

I think most marriages in China falls apart because of alcoholism or gambling or cheating.
