    My fiancé is Chinese and the family are harsh man. I was having a glass of wine with them the other day and they asked me why my chest was so red as it was blushing. They have no filter. My fiancé is a teacher and would call his students useless to me at home, but he doesn’t make fun of my body and I’m still recovering from the birth of our son. If he made fun of my body, that would be crossing a line.

      You would think they would understand why your chest was red when asian flush is a thing that probably effects them.

      Learning this is all very interesting, thank you for sharing. Since I haven’t had much experience with Asian culture, i didn’t realize they are pretty blunt, this makes a lot of sense now that I look back. I’m really glad your partner isn’t making you feel bad, and I’m sorry that his family does 💜

        My friend is Korean but her family is sooooo brutal to her. She’s on the bigger side & that’s all they acknowledge about her even though she’s a surgeon! It was crazy to me seeing it firsthand.
