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

OP don't listen to Reverendjay, Mat, Movingin07, hello_there ... they are all golddigger local lady ready to jump on your husband as soon as he will land.

Since when was joking allowed on GeoExpat?

I thought all attempts at humour in the last 2/3 weeks were being deleted by some tosser of an "editor".

[ReverendJay]

Buh-bye Cwbguy, it was nice having your around. I'll see you off before Editor bans you. Oh crap, now I've gone and voted myself off the island.

monster2003: Where are you coming from? If extramarital affairs are not a cultural norm where you're from, and you don't have any particular concerns regarding your husband's faithfulness in particular, I wouldn't be concerned at all. My husband moved to HK months before I did and I didn't think twice about it. Sure, the opportunity is here, but there are also opportunities for unfaithfulness at home.

Similarly, I have no idea who is advising you that local women in HK aggressively pursue married expats - that's just not the case for the vast majority of women here. I work in an office full of local ladies (mostly in their 30s or younger and attractive) - secretaries, legal professionals, tea ladies, receptionists, cleaners - and none of them are out trolling for expat men. I also know several local women who are married to expats, and the relationships (to the extent that anyone can really know what's going on in someone else's marriage) seem genuine and loving - no golddigging wives or husbands looking for a trophy lady. If you go to the right (or wrong) places, sure you can find a particular kind of woman looking for a particular kind of man (with money), but there are bars or other hangouts like that in all big cities, its not unique to HK.

So i can't find these women then?

Balls.

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!

How do you deal with all the excitement?

[Satay Sue]

Mr SS and I DO spend a lot of free time in some bar or other - doesn't make us unfaithful though!

Quietly...!

F.A.O. Mat:

The answer is right there in SS' post.

Where is Luckycat?

Presently busy with PDLM in a seedy Wanchai bar sorting out the launch of their new immigration law practice.
