Would you let your husband move 2 months ahead of family?

Trust is a nice thing.

No trust = No chance

It's not like there will be hordes of chinese girls, half naked waiting for him at the exit of his office...

Well, now that depends. My previous office was directly across the street from one of the girly bars on Lockhart Rd, so technically I did have hordes of half-naked "Asian" girls waiting upon my exit. Rather a pleasant way to end a rough day, "Hun-nee, beer, only $20."

Because all westerners earn lots of $ here and are sex straved and all HK ladies are gold diggers who would sleep with a 65 years old rich guy just to get out of her 500 sqf appartment.

I'm being sarcastic, in case some have problem understanding.

There's a lot of truth to that statement though

Jimbo, maybe in your world, not in mine....

I choose not to go to those places, and so do most of my friends.

For me a typical weekend in HK is:

Dragon Boat or trail running on saturday
Cine with the wife
Dinner at home or at friends place
Visit of some relatives
Shopping for the week

I have the occasional drink in LKF with a fellow banker, lawyer or friend on weekday but that is 99%of the time a Happy Hour drink and I am back home at 8.30/9 PM max.

If you choose to go party all nights on weekend/weekdays, yes I agree with you - most people do not though.

Are you sure you are French? Where is your joie de vivre, your penchant for sipping wine in cafes? You...allow me to paraphrase Monty Python...pinchers of ladies bottoms are known for your zest for living.

Ah, c'est la vie.

Dear OP it is compulsory for a rich expat banker to have at least one mistress in HK. If he comes out early he can arrange this in advance, its for the best.

The reason for this is that the rich expat banker must keep up with the Tangs and everyone knows any local HK business man who wants to be considered seriously amongst his peers must require a mistress or two, its just the way things are done here.

In all seriousness you really need to chill and not listen to your so called friends on this one.

I always find it amusing what is considered normal "perks" (having a mistress) that comes with your social status (being rich) is now considered a liability in politics in HK. Or it just goes to show how Henry Tang and the rest of his lot really aren't that smart as they believe they are.

Back to the topic. OP-If you are so worried about your husband cheating on you when he is in HK, perhaps you should worry about whether he is cheating on you back HOME. This lack of trust indicates a problem in your marriage, it doesn't matter where your husband is.

I think it's more to with her so-called "friends" planting seeds of doubt...

Just make sure you just "admire" these girls from a distance, you don't want to get too "intimate" with them if you know what I mean...

Sigh...people just believe whatever they are told these days don't they?

Mr Min's is much the same, without even the Happy Hour drinks during the week. Just the odd social function run by our Hiking Group (which I usually attend too). Not everyone spends their free time in a bar!
