Why on earth did he do it?<BR/><BR/>If Wen has any self-respect,this should be the end of any relationship with this old John. Nothing good will ever come out of this.

I met ...I actually have some updated stories here.. I met Wen both yesterday and the day before yesterday in Stockholm.. and it was really hard to get her out..<BR/><BR/>First I met her the day before yesterday, which seemed to be pretty okay for her mother at first, but probably since I was not very careful with the conversation and talked about for example taking Swedish courses here in Stockholm, her mother got quite angry with me.. Wen told me that she even thinks that im the reason that she stays in Sweden!!! <BR/><BR/>Yesterday I got a sms from Wen in the morning says her mother forbids her from meeting me again so we probably won't be able to meet again.. I thought it was riduculous so I asked her if it is possible to say that she is gonna meet a Swedish friend of hers so I could ask my friend to pick her up.. Wen didn't want to lie so she asked again nicely so her mother finally allowed reluctently.<BR/><BR/>Her mother first followed her to a café to meet us (me, my bf, and another Swedish friend of mine) and seated herself there staring at us saying nothing when we began to talk. Later she followed us to another restaurant kept staring at us saying nothing. I wouldn't talk about anything I wanted to talk about with her so I asked her if she could be alone with us just for a little while. <BR/><BR/>Her mother first insisted that Wen should go back to the hotel together with her since in her opinion we 've definately met enough, she also told Wen that she really doesn't like me and doesn't like the idea about she staying longer with me. I realized that so I said all my friends here really like her and would really like to talk a bit more with her blablabla and tried to persuade Wen's mother to let her go.. Probably since we had 2 more people there who had nothing to do with their fight so she finally let Wen go for another 1 hour and a half,again,reluctently.I'm almost sure that if my bf and another friend were not there, she would never let her meet me alone.. <BR/><BR/>That's how we got to meet eathother alone for one hour and a half and I have to say I think it was horrible that Wen doesn't seem to have any freedom. It is even in Europe. Imagine how it would be if it is in China! It would be just like a prison, even though Wen is already 23 which is a age in my opinion people are supposed to meet whoever they want, live wherever they want, and do whatever they want to do without the parents aside.<BR/><BR/>I wish you guys good luck and I hope her mother doesn't do anything extreme so Wen could stay in Europe for a bit longer.. Tell me if you guys need any help with the possible moving to Stockholm (finding a place or whatever), I'm always glad to help.Umahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08694621464628652096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7805099.post-1156241685553138132006-08-22T12:14:00.000+02:002006-08-22T12:14:00.000+02:00Don't really know what to say, but good luck J..Don't really know what to say, but good luck J..Jetsetjunkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12544867861681030197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7805099.post-1156152977975748362006-08-21T11:36:00.000+02:002006-08-21T11:36:00.000+02:00Best of luck Johan.
