Long Distance Relationships
[QUOTE=Intransit]
Either keep your wife with you and do whatever you can to help her find work and friends, or see if you can get yourself back to Taipei. You can always find another job. But if your wife and your marriage mean anything to you, put them first.[/QUOTE]
Taiwan Guy
Intransit is absolutely right. Your wife is telling you that she is not happy in Beijing and wants to go back to Taiwan. She will not come out and tell you directly that she is asking you to choose between your job or her.
Beijing can be a strange place for Taiwanese. Your accents immediately identifty you as outsiders and you will be treated as such by a lot of people here. Going to work you will probably not be aware of it as much as your wife will seeing it on a daily basis. Your wife is also missing the support of her family and friends. This is natural and you should not put any blame on her.
Your marriage of 4 years is not that old in terms of relationships and in many ways you are still getting to know each other. You have already "fallen off the wagon once" and could do it again. The longer the absence the more luring and attractive the girls become and then who knows what will happen.
