This could happen anywhere and not just Vietnam
this problem exists everywhere not just in Vietnam! Gold diggers are everywhere!
VN is no longer a paradise on earth ? What happened to HCM's "grand kids" ?
@@titikati VN is an awesome country on earth. I dont keep track or care about HCM’s grand kids!!!
@@tonyly408 "Awesome"? You must be kidding dear. So many VN folks are still trying to leave that awesome country of yours.
@@titikati 43 plus years in America. I can’t wait to retire in Vietnam one day!!!
@@tonyly408 Good 4 U! Just make sure to hang on to your US citizenship cause you will need to go back to seek for medical assistance like many of VN retirees like yourself. BTW why wait til yr retirement ? Need to take advantage of few more benefits from the US? Good luck
My friend went to Vietnam. Got married and then when she landed in Los Angeles, she disappeared and left with another guy. For the guys out there. Think twice before you commit to a relationship.
The run away spouse will not get green card and will be deported

Keep them in there country. Same things happen in the Philippines and in Brazil
You don't have to think twice, just try to bargain the price 20% as much, if she runs away, you still have another 4 wives to get married with. Don't tell me you guys want to spend your whole life with one woman. It is really a nightmare. Trust me. 😂
@@HoaAnhTuc0205trade in that lease 😅😅😅
Don’t get marry oversea.
Don’t buy properties oversea.
Best to rent and live with your girlfriend.
I agree 100% never get married ever again I did it twice what doesn't work out the man loses and the woman wins.
We have a saying she starts planning her divorce the day after her wedding
Best to rent housing and girl friends
I agree, never and ever again ( Gold Digger, US citizen, child support, Starting work over again = Hell ) Stay with your Girlfriend the best
Whenever the girlfriend tries to bring up a conversation about marriage, distract her and change the subject. :)
@@playwithpets She may do embargo and you are left flat.
The host of this show is very good at what he does. Lots of information and he seems credible. I loved watching it. I've never been to Vietnam.
It's too bad this video left out the most critical discussions about marriage between a foreigner and Viet with respect to assets. I know this topic well because I had to learn it on my own after trying to get help from both VN and USA attorneys. Unfortunately, I found no attorneys that understand the full picture. Let me help you all out.
If you are a foreigner and you marry a Viet, whether you get a pre-nup and where you get one depends on where the marriage is registered and where the assets are or will be during a divorce. If you stay married in VN but never register the marriage in the USA and your assets are in the USA, you will be protected from VN divorce because your assets are in the USA and VN has no jurisdiction there (and vice versa).
If you register the marriage to your state of residence in the USA and you get a divorce in VN, your assets are also safe from any judgment from VN courts as long as the divorce is not filed in the USA. Each state has different laws regarding requirements for divorce. For instance, some states require that you live in the state for at least 60 days prior to filing for the divorce. That would make it difficult (although doable) for your VN wife to file for divorce in the USA even though she would have no trouble getting in (since the marriage would have been registered in the USA so she would have a green card or similar).
If you get a divorce in the USA, no pre-nup will save you. So, it's best to never register the marriage in the USA and stay in VN. And only bring as many assets or buy as much property in VN as you can afford to lose in divorce. You don't want to bring much to VN anyway because you can easily lose it all through fraud or bank failures since there is practically no depository bank insurance like FDIC (VN banks only insure depositors up to around $3000).
You can also have a legal agreement written up for each property stating that it belongs to you in the event of a divorce if you brought the money from the USA (i.e. already had the money prior to marriage) to buy it. Pre-nups in VN are a waste of money because the attorneys are incompetent, but they charge crazy prices for anything related to foreigners. A basic pre-nup in VN will cost between $1200 and $3000, which is not a lot higher than in many places in the USA. But the USA has rule of law. VN really doesn't.
I'm going through this stuff right now and I have a good attorney in Saigon. If you need one I can introduce
@@smokingun397 Thanks but after reading my comment, do you really think I need an attorney? It should be obvious that I know more about this topic than every attorney in Vietnam and most attorneys in the USA.
Very nice information that you input in the comments section
@@smokingun397 I checked with the best attorneys in Saigon. They are clueless as far as the big picture. I was not even able to find a US attorney who understood the full picture with regards to US law and VN law and jurisdictional issues. You will be wasting your money with Viet attorneys. They learned how to rip foreigners off just like US attorneys. If you read my full comment above you will see that I explained everything one needs to know and I learned all of this on my own. I do not need an attorney since I know more than them on this issue.
@@user-hjsjdhs23sdf Do you know the 2014 Family Law amendments?
I'm Australian and 12 years ago I married a poor Vietnamese woman. When she fell pregnant I built a house just outside Saigon which was meant to be kept for the kids future. I brought her back to Australia where after 18 months she decided to divorce me and took the children. Last year she decided to try and sell the house and cut me out totally. I'm going through court in Vietnam now. I luckily have a lot of evidence of money showing I paid for everything and my lawyer seems fairly confident that things will work out OK. What a lot of people don't know is that the Vietnamese laws changed in 2014 regarding family law and particularly property ownership. Basically all assets acquired after the marriage is automatically 50/50 even if one is a foreigner. A prenuptial is definitely a good idea and would save a lot of headaches but the best idea if one wants to marry a Vietnamese is to marry one that doesn't need your money. I have a really good lawyer in Saigon. Michael
Does that mean we are not a good law firm to recommend?
I'm really sorry Bro, I thought you were in the business side of things and not involved with Family Law stuff. I just took it out@@duongglobalbusinessconsulting
I’d like to know who that is @smokinggun397.
And of course I’d still consult with Mr Duong’s law office. I unfortunately forgot how to private message people on UA-cam. Is there a way?
@@duongglobalbusinessconsultingno it does not. I’d appreciate an interview with your law office Mr Duong!
That’s good. Glad you got everything sorted out. Take it as a life lesson my friend.
Whatever you do, NEVER GET MARRIED
Trusting a Vietnamese is like trusting an 8 year old.
You are a very WISE MAN,
You will be a lonely person when getting old. I had friends that passed away early because of no one to talk to and they were bored to death.
See how some women wicked with fake paternity tests... Smh
Quite educative piece!
Great episode!
Goodday Ken,
As always a very Educational video.
I bet you would have alot of interesting stories to share at Christmas lunch and dinner.
Cheers

i grew up in the state! but i been back jn mainland vietnam countless of time! and the things i've seen, the attitude and culture! the toxicness is above the roof
Damn! Doung, you have all my respect to tell the truth that 70% of the transnational marriages breaks down, divorce within 5years and the Vietnamese wives got all the goodies in the deal!
Getting married is the price you pay to have kids. It is a very heavy price and often destroys the man. Everyone mist understand that the marriage is not about love, but rather about 1000s of big lawbooks lawyers nasty judges. A relationship is far more stable without marriage. If you need to marry then marry a woman who has more money than you and earns more than you.
I'll take close to equaling you financially. At least one motive is out the door.
Duong, I admire your style of delivering these talks! every videos is interesting. How can I be a good speaker like you?
You need to do a course name as ToastMaster which will teach you how to talk in front of a crowd confidently. Once you have completed this course, you have to practice at where you work by talking in front of a big crowd confidently without mumbling. It is not easy and requires extend practicing.
The ugly side of marriage. Always protect yourself no matter where you live.
99 percent of American men, and anyone who grew up in America is trained to think marriage and Asian grew up women are like them. But, in fact, Asian people who grew up in Asia are ALL financial PREDATORS. If you are foolish enough to transfer any money to Asian women account. HA HA HA, in any Asian country. You are just asking for trouble!!
They say “you cannot cheat an honest man.” If you, as an older man, wants to scam young women for their youth and beauty then be prepared to pay for the equivalence in dollars.
Men and women’s values are not the same in the dating market as it is in the workplace. Unlike US currency, Women’s youth and beauty have a limited shelf life and must bargain for the best deal your US dollars can provide.
I think these type of issues are not unique to Vietnamese women. I heard many similar or even worst stories about Philippine women too.
In the Philippines and most latin countries they might just kill you to get out of marriage...
Marriages in worldwide should have inbuilt prenuptial. Prenuptial should be not only for prior assets but also for post marriage assets. Men need those resources to move on.
Dumb comment. Dream on.
Your info is very useful, thank you!
Thanks for your comment!
Very informative UA-cam video.
I have a sucessful marriage in Vietnam. I am singaporean and staying in Vietnam 7yrs and counting. I have heard nasty story from both man & women.
Two important point, before you marry that women, 1. take a good look at her parents & silbings. 2. Does her family have non-working no income members?
I had a few years my wife have been helping her family. To a point where my father in law asking us to sell our house to pay their gambling debts. He even brain wash her must help family get out of debt no matter what. Even she can divore to get $ to help family.
The method I use is dragging time in infuse them i will help. Their debt ballon to a state that, selling two houses also cant pay their debt. Then my wife realised, she die also cant help. Thats when father in law family totally broke up.
True. Thanks for sharing.
Gambling has been a HUGE problem in Commie Vietnam, for decades, infected not only citizens (stake up to hundreds of thousands of dollars) but also regime government officials (stake up to tens of millions of dollars). Search "vietnam cong an bat song bai" to see 500 million search results. Enjoy!
thank you good information👍👍👍
Unfortunately many people nowadays are materialistic so having a pre nup will test the individual. If the person really loves you and you love them for sure you’ll leave them with some $ as a beneficiary.
Be careful when you’re successful and make lots of money in VN. It’s time to take it and run before the government thinks about it. They will find all the possible reasons to apply their time-convenience laws to take away your assets. So just take to money and run.
This is called Hurry makes Worry. A man who cannot control his lust is stupid and will suffer in the end anyway.
FACTS!!
i understand the culture very well since i was born and raised in Vietnam. it happens in every country just got to learn how to protect yourself from the gold diggers!!!!lol
Very very very useful video.. thank you so much....the future foreigners will be careful
Thank you..
Beware that it's absolutely not true for either Vietnamese or foreigner to own land in Commie Vietnam (or any Commie countries like China or North Korea, for that matter). The utterly corrupt and brutal Vietnamese Commie regime can kick you out anytime, especially after your properties substantially increase in value. Do your research!
Community Property means in most countries that assets during marriage are divided equally between the 2 parties. However in California it means that the wife Gets the Property 😆and the husband May Live in the Community if he wants to.😢
I am married to VN national... we are living in VN... I bought an apartment before we married and put in her name.. as wedding gift, and for her security and our potential future children... unfortunately within a year of the marriage, showed herself to be one of the worst, most abusive materialists I have even encountered... or even heard about... so I guess the apartment I bought would be treated as pre-marital asset and the local courts would not include in the supposed 50/50 distribution.. however, during our marriage, my wife became the owner of another real estate property... so, being consistent, I assume the court WILL include that real estate as part of 50/50 distribution of assets.. would it be correct to assume that? and... we have two children... 6 and 4 years old... as I understand.. they are essentially marital "assets" and would also be divided 50/50... is that correct? I have been following your business related videos for a few months now... but maybe I will need to consult you on divorce matters too... thanks Duong!
Not even that. If the property is a house or villa, it belongs to her, as foreign citizens cannot own land in Vietnam unless you find a way to negotiate. If you need an expert's opinion and assistance, please feel free to send us an email to contact@duongbusinessconsulting.com
Too late now. You should think over this before marrying her. Good luck anyway. Even God couldn’t save you.
why would u even go to a foreign country and marry.....
Very smart of you😂😂😂
@@SayNoToIdiots very
great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Gold diggers are everywhere so choose wisely, Ken sir thank you so much for sharing such a informative video
If the law doesn’t allow people to get married without a prenup then the problem is solved for everybody. No question asked, no embarrassment, no taboo! That way people will think twice to get married because they will find out that getting married is not that easy like getting a divorce.
I agree. Think hard before you marry. Why should their be a prenup?
no thank you. there's a saying in vietnamese AN BANH CHA TIEN. best to eat cake when ever you want and pay for your cake. never have to worry . be smart guys. especially the older lonely ones. always hold your pot by the handle.
FACTS!
Very interesting.... Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Wao Ken thank you for all this free info im thinking of visiting Vietnam next year when i retire
You should!
In 2023, can't really blame anyone for not wanting to get married. Risks are everywhere, you might have to factor in the possibility of losing 50% of your assets if you get married. Even if you don't get married, watch out for "common law marriage" definition", if it applies or will it apply it. I've seen people considered married under the government's eyes just because they live together for a certain amount of years and/or have kids.
hmong woman or montgard woeman farmer is best for man in vetnam life, heart of gold, live u long time and give u gold. go to dalat and meets them and b happy for u long times. papa will give u 2 cows and goat if marry her too. specially good for foreign man, taiwan man, hong kong man and other tipes.
Until they Vietnamized... Lol
Shows your naievity 😂
NOTE: THE TERM "PROPERTY" DOES *NOT* INCLUDES LAND. LAND IN VIETNAM IS THE PROPERTY OF THE STATE, IT IS LEASED TO THE USER. THINGS PLACED / BUILT UPON THE LEASED LAND CAN BE OWNED BY THE OCCUPANT.
THE LEASED LAND CAN BE "HANDED DOWN" OR TRANSFERRED TO OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS.
Just don't get married. Problems solved.
Marriage is the work of the devil
In Canada, 2 yrs living together still get you 1/2 of the assets . If there is no pre-nup. You don’t have to be married.
@@annle9671Canada is a cuck country.

Love is blind.There are many ugly things to settle if relationship turn sour😂😂
Fair enough. Anyway it’s wise for everybody to double check before engaging into something that you regret later on. As I know marital laws in the US and VN are not exactly the same as people thinks. So, don’t be shy, ask when you are in doubt.
Sir Ken,may i ask? How much to pay work.permit in Vietnam
Damn, that sucks to be in his shoes at this moment. Best of luck to him. I've been lucky for more than 15yrs of marriage because I kept remind myself not going back to VN to find one. We both are vietnamese american.
You’re lucky. I so bad want to marry Vietnamese but I know it’s a loose loose situation if I went to Vietnam. I want to marry a fellow Vietnamese in the US
Its called Guerilla Warfare, Marital Version staged by Vietcong Women. You must be able to watch out for the landmines, bamboo spikes that will impale you and poison gases and snakes inside their caves.

if your looking to have a good time, Vietnam is the place,, but if your are seeking for real relationship and build family, the odds are bad in Vietnam
My wife is Vietnamese now with US citizenship. We married legally in the US in CA first and then again with a big family and what seemed like half her town in Vietnam. I’m an American. For years I’ve asked her as to what my status is with the country. IDK if the marriage was even registered in any way there, I’ve never been able to get an answer, either she’s clueless and doesn’t know, or she’s been withholding info, I can’t quite tell. I do recall a friend of their family who wore local police or military uniform, and I think he only was an MC for the banquet, held at a local resort.
We’ve lived in the US our whole marriage, and now have two children, US born.
Does anyone know what my, and my kid’s status is in Vnm? I don’t have any Vnm marriage certificate record, just photos, but surely something would be searchable from the town we were married in?
I suspect her family has very intentionally never recorded officially so as to ensure her inheritance assets are never in jeopardy
And u expect an accurate reply in a UA-cam comment??
😂😂😂
If you go by the informative comment above, since your marriage is registered in the US, she can get your US assets in a US court.
@@YouDcm I know. I was inquiring about my status in VNM, not hers in the US
@@SayNoToIdiots LOL
Ken thanks for sharing your perspectives about life in Vietnam. In your opinion, are college educated Vietnamese women open to dating guys from different cultural / ethnic backgrounds, who are well educated professionals? Also what is considered an upper-middle class net worth in Saigon? As you say, knowledge matters.
Thank you I was wondering if there was any Benefits to looking for Wife in Vietnam but clearly between the last video I have seen and this one there is not 70% in the first 5 years!!! looking to make a family not set up some ones account for life!!
I like this channel.

Thanks! Corporate finance and personal finance have concerns with account management with record keeping. A mutual issue of the concern impacts professional liability insurance with actuary science book keeping for internal and external audits. Personal finance requires this separation with the record keeping that bank statements and account registrations usually involves the certificate of joint ownership or cohabitation. Experience is well noted and hope the good faith with UA-cam information for investor legal rights has the correct social engineering with the audience.
so what happens when you buy property in Vietnam and leave it to your sibling and your sibling takes it? you are not Vietnamese citizen, is there are ways to take it back?
That model dug the guy like a goldmine.
Men prefer beautiful women.
How about Australian law? Would like some oversea experts not answerable to the legal system here to provide advice!
Do you know any more details of the case such as whether the properties (or some of them) were acquired before marriage? Even though VN is a community state, properties acquired before marriage are not included. I'm just trying to visualize the scenario. They got married and then spent the next 2 year pushing out 2 babies and buying 39+ properties all under her name?
watch full video
Nobody knows all the details but in general, as the foreigner and by Vietnamese law, he can’t own properties. He could have owned properties before marriage under different names and transferred to her name after married and continued acquiring more properties after and they were all under her name. I believe the latest ruling from the Vietnamese court was to split everything in half.
@@PTL4179 He deserves to loose everything ...as he did not think of this possibility in this day and age nor consult a lawyer on the rules concerning divorce and asset laws
Yes, even they know that for sure, but the Viet government is not going to protect the foreigners!
Women in Asia are the same, if not worse than Western women. It is good to see someone covering this.
Vietnam has become just like the West when it comes to dating/relationships.
I'm not sure if I would go that far. The worst dating scene in Asia by far, in my humble opinion, is Japan. Those ladies there are just like Americans now, lots of divorces, stealing the kids from husband, a lot of partners and cheating from the woman, no good at all.
Is there such a thing as a post-nuptial agreement, agreed after marriage, but before assets are purchased? Thanks
Yes, you can also draft a post-nuptial agreement under specific set of circumstances.
Most of the Vietnamese families wont agree to a post nuptial agreement.😮
Rent don't buy..... No headache. It's cheaper to rent than owning a property and pay the mortgage.
Too late for me now…I’m already being chained down 😂😂😂
Hopefully you made her sign a prenup
I have a friend from Quang Nam, Vietnam he is 65 and his wife cheated on him with a younger man 15 years younger than her and now he wants to divorce her. Both of their sons are married with children. He has proof of his wife's adultery. What happens if he divorce her and what are the chances for him winning his case against his cheating wife?
Arent there multiple forms of marriages out there? In the netherlands we have a form that not everything is split 50/50
The women mentioned in the video hired a Viet attorney in the U.S to handle her divorce and he married her. The guy hit a jackpot
TÀO LAO!
It is possible that the husband used his wife name on most/all of his properties was to get more property tax benefits. The irony is that when his wife is remarried, the other guy will enjoy the benefit and the hard works.
When I was young, a friend advised me to be careful when falling in love with a beautiful girl and don't "che^'t vi no^n." This is a classic and out of proportion.
Chet vi lon 😂
@@chinaboss6683This happens to men everywhere and ever since human walk the earth 😂. The dumb ones always fall.
Anyone who thinks this is not equally as big of an issue in the United States is deluded. You could replace An with John and Thuy with Madison and put both in any US state and Madison would clean John's clock, with the biggest difference being they were only married two years (and not ten, which is a common cliff in the US). That might impact the division of assets but not custody. An/John can say goodbye to the kids if Thuy/Madison wants to screw him in court. His mistake was thinking with the little head and not having a prenup.
I've been married to a British woman for three weeks now. She's divorcing me and she stole all the Stilton out of our refrigerator.
great
Alot of Vietnamese people depending where they live, hate living in another country and get depressd and want to go back to Vietnam
That applies to all foreign women! The novelty wears off and they yearn for the old way of life when they were young!
Seems like this is a rich seam of work for Ken :-) 😂
I am thinking of investing in Vietnam. First thing is to buy an apartment. Is that possible in Vietnam without a Vietnamese partner?
Please watch our latest video on how to buy real estate in Vietnam, as we lay it all out.
Don’t do it…just rent it’s cheap enough
Well, serve them right! Tax avoidance got them into this situation.Ffrankly it could happen any where in the West not just Vietnam.
RED PILL everywhere.
thêm phụ đề tiếng việt nữa chú ơi
Divorces are 70% in any affluent society, including India. Alimony is pretty outdated practice since mostly the wives marry upwards and dividing property is cruel on males
It's sad, scam!
What is your source of 70% of divorce rate between Vietnamese/Non Vietnamese within 5 years? I looked it up and Vietnam has the lowest Divorce rate in the world. Is ranked #1 for lowest divorce
Vietnam is a communist country meaning they can lie about statistics if they wanted to so that their country can seem like a more attractive place.
HAKIMI should give this man a masterclass.
Useful advice. Stay away from these beauties, more correctly “gold diggers”.
Pre nuptial agreement in America is normal. Very common. Rich guys, men with homes and assets must always get a pre-nup. Be smart guys.
Fly thee, meet her. Bring her back to America before you marry her and get that pre-nup, in both languages.
Actually, if you're super wealthy, don't get married. Just stay together as boyfriend and girl friend. If she insists, tell her take a walk. You have enough money to go find another any time.
That was truth u right I Agreat they want come to America too
Buying in the name of such a woman.. how stupid one can be.. my dad did the same in Korea.. bye-bye millions. Have been building up myself and every time I buy a property in my name, it is finished with my Viet or Thai gold digger. Love makes blind but stay strong. Always buy in your own foreign name.
At that time before 2010 , actually foreigner cant own property in vietnam even if they were marry to a local. So the men knew what they were doing.
The Vietnamese Government has unilateral power to take away any property from anyone, foreigners even more powerless compared to locals and that isnt by much.
Now getting married to a local Vietnamese is almost nearly as high-risk as buying property. If your local Vietnamese wife divorces you, you can be sure ALL of your holdings will go puff in smoke. Pre-nups in Vietnam are unenforceable. Local possession is more than 9/10ths of the law in Vietnam. You as an attorney should know that if married to a local Vietnamese in Vietnam she (or even he) can still hire an attorney if thinga go sour and pursue all her rights in U.S. courts as well, after all, you have married so she gains rights as a spouse.
Better re-brush up on that legal info. 😊
That is inacurrate. To be valid and enforceable, prenuptial agreements have to be notarized in both Vietnam and foreign country. Then, the agreement supersedes traditional marital regime. And, as a law firm, we not only draft prenuptial agreements but also represent clients in divorce cases, as mentioned by our Attorney in the video. Hope it helps
"The Vietnamese Government has unilateral power to take away any property from anyone, foreigners even more powerless compared to locals and that isnt by much." Indeed. Search "cuop dat dan" (Translated "robbing land of citizens") right here on UA-cam to see countless clips of land-robbing of citizens by the utterly corrupt and brutal Vietnamese Commie regime. Apparently being married or not, and/or to whom, has never been part of the consideration.
@@duongglobalbusinessconsulting Maybe in the U.S. drafting pre-nups are legal and Court enforceable but in Vietnam the legal system is different. The Vietnamese Courts won't enforce a U.S. prenuptial. The laws are different governing these instruments, and there is also an immigration status and rights issues. If you think you are safe in Vietnam just because you are an American citizen doing business in Vietnam and then divorcing a local Viet good luck, you will need it. And if she is in any way connected to the officials, God won't even be able to help you. I have personally known of horror stories from recent Vietnamese immigrants to California who have lived all their lives in Vietnam only to be so happy their number and family reunification sponsorship was approved by USCIS after decades! Yes, you guessed it, they gave up on the unfairness of the Vietnamese "legal system". Is there a Vietnam State Bar like that found in the States? If yes, are you included Ken Duong in that Vietnamese Bar Association?
The marriage certificate should have a clause explaining the risks and potential problems for getting a divorce. The plain declaration for “better and for worst” is not enough. Easy to say not easy to do.
@@thaido3220 Many women marry specifically for the purpose of divorcing to get rich down the line. Vietnam divorce rates are steadily approaching the rates seen in the West as they become more developed. They all want the material luxury items. So much for Communism and Socialism, huh?
These divorce rates are the same as North America.
Cut your lost and move on... Life is tough.
Would be great if you could cover how Vietnam's adoption to cryptocurrencies is developing.
I travel and work in VN often and have seen no use of cryptocurrency there.
Aside from Bitcoin, crypto is a big scam. When I can go into Walmart and buy groceries with crypto I will change my mind.

We don't have this stupid law in Malaysia....
ALWAYS GET A PRE-NUP. Not so hard to do in America but there is a specific way it has to be done. If she loves you, she will sign.
Don't think an American pre-nup will be helpful for property and real estate in Vietnam. The Vietnamese authorities aren't going to care about an American pre-nup.
If you are a wealthy man .. don’t to be a fool and get married.. always have a living trust and protect your assets and life.. don’t be fooled by anyone
@kinglobo9671 except a wife who spends her life with you, is worth every penny and more.
If you feel the need to protect yourself from the person you intend to marry then you sure as hell should't marry that person.
@@chrishamlin5863 That's not how it works. You don't need to protect yourself from the person you marry today. You need to protect yourself from the person you will be married to in 10 years. That will be a different person. And there's a 50% chance that person will hate your guts and want to ruin you.
😂 truth
Trust is very expensive. A good life or a miserable life is just one decision away. If man never invented marriage. Ppl will still fall in love and make babies
Stay away from VN problem solved 😂😂😂
Flop
It's fair enough because she raised 2 children and she was a famous person when she married him, she also contributed to making money in Vietnam, increasing his profits.
For example: He invested 1 VND, she earned 4 VND, it is the effort of both sides. In this case, you are not right
Lucky that i am poor because I will marry a Vietnamese lady 😂
These types of women just want your money.
Money can’t cure stupidity lol
So never marry oversea Vietnam lady?
Loved a Vietnamese lady and after 15 months in realtionship she asked for breakup. She said have no feelings with me. The real reason she found someone in UK and he is a Vietnamese. Vietnamese ladies some are crazy mind.
Trouble is you didn't treat her well i suspect.I may be wrong.
@@ishakshamsudin8585 I treated her as my queen. But she was after my money. My business went bankrupt and she ended her drama and had another man with her new drama.
Well the Vietnamese women are very good-looking but the divorce rate is astronomically high amongst foreigners married to Vietminh these women. 75% is on acceptable. Even in your own videos you say that Vietnam citizens have a tendency to lie.
