Hi Vince. I am a Canadian who is now living in Singapore. My Singaporean galfriend has refused to leave Singapore for the last seven years and come to stay with me in Canada or the UK (she came and visited me twice in the UK but refused to relocate, even though I was working there). Yet now that I am in Singapore (have been here for more than a year) she still refuses to relocate back to Canada.

She is a managemane accountant with a very good salary and I can understand her reasons for not wanting to relocate; but it has come to the point where she has made it clear that she will not move to Canada until and unless we have enough for both of us to settle down there (i.e. it is no good if both of us are looking for work). She says this, even though she has at least $200 K saved and owns her own flat in Singapore (and I also have substantial savings).

Should I marry this gal? If I do it will mean that I must accept whatever work I can find in Singapore, which may mean $1500 a month (I am sure you know that isn't a lot). Historically I have worked full-time since I was 18, usually contract or permanent work as a software Technical Writer. But apart from a good start in Singapore with a banking software firm (the job only lasted five months, unfortunately), I have had great difficulty finding anything in my field and the closest I have come to actual new earnings is the possibility of copywriting for a locally-based European MNC. I am 44 and my galfriend is now 39 and she has refused to relocate overseas for years because of her fears of insecurity; but now she is starting to say that even if we marry, we could not have children even in Singapore until and unless we can afford them (but, as I said, there is plenty of money available).

Are all Singaporean women so frustratingly insecure and focused on the '5 Cs'? My galfriend is a Christian; but her approach to life seems to be 'show me the money' rather than 'the just shall live by faith.'

What do you think? Any comments about Canuck gals (whom i found to be pleasant and coldly calculating over my 22 year stay in Canada--10 years in Toronto).

As for your rant about Singapore not having an Embassy in Canada proper. Hey, Singapore is not really a country, OK? It is smaller in population and physical size than Toronto...do you think it wants to spend (waste?) the resources required to maintain expensive foreign embassies in multiple cities, for the few Singaporeans who choose to continue to maintain strong ties to Singapore after they leave for the larger world?
