Then you can move to another area like I did.  Just saying, you have options.  

I'll only go back home. She gets a better education and grows up in a safer, more equal environment and I get to enjoy my hobbies, with no worries about changing laws. She has a much better chance of getting a career which will have her independent than here.

I don't think I've ever encountered a strong independent and HAPPY woman. Maybe they weren't designed (by god?) to be independent?

It's true the more independence some women get, the more they think they don't need a man and are overly suspicious of them, thinking they will be taken advantage of by male gold diggers. A lot of independent women make good money but their social life suffers. Who's really happy if they don't have someone there? Someone they can trust and also share good times and intimacy with? The best couples I've ever seen in all of my life acted as a team, with both working and both helping at home.

Post covid things have accelerated. 2012 was a long time ago. 

 

 

Yes I know!  I have been teaching in Myanmar since 2012, so I'm aware of the changes.  Now there are many ATM machines of course, but no foreigner would want to use them with the appalling official exchange rate!
