Financial Strains and Conflicting Love Languages
After moving to China on a marriage visa, Josh found himself unable to work for five years, leading to financial dependency on Lily. Initially, he believed his lack of contribution would only affect him, but soon the strain seeped into their relationship. Lily, who had invested heavily in renovating her home, constantly hinted at her financial struggles, which made Josh feel inadequate. Their differing love languages—Lily expressing affection through gifts while Josh craved validation—created misunderstandings and frustrations that only escalated their disputes.

She referenced a past incident where Josh had another woman in his WeChat profile picture, leading to a confrontation that revealed deep-seated trust issues. This argument spiraled into a heated discussion, with Lily questioning whether they should proceed with their wedding, highlighting the instability in their relationship.
