You are feeling sorry for yourself because you held on to your
traditional beliefs from your country.
In Singapore, the wedding is not a big deal, it's only a show
newly weds put on for the sake of their parents' " face value".
Wedding dinners are for honoring parents, not so much for the
wedded couple.
Most couples in Singapore are already living a married
life BEFORE the wedding ceremony.
Of course it's unfair.. TO YOU.... you thought you
sold your virginity to a rich guy. Unfortunately, in Singapore,
virginity is not worth as much as you think.
It's like a merchant thinking his shiny stone is worth a
fortune. But the buyers don't think so because it's just a piece of
polished rock !
Your understanding of Singapore is not quite accurate.
Wedding in Singapore is a bigger deal now, it is over $1000 per
table, plus photography and ceremony. Parents want an announcement,
so nobody would think their daughter is cohabitating with another
man, not an honorable thing in conservative Singapore. In wedding
dinners today, it is not the parents who go on stage and say thank
you to the guests, but the newly wedded couple who go up to thank
their parents, brothers and sisters and those who help in the
organisation. That is the only part where the parents are honored.
Parents would be happy if they get a bouqet of flowers at the
dinner.
Singaporean actually waiting for their BTO before they got
married, and share the responsibilities in keep the house and
decide if they want children. When you said "Most couples in
Singapore are already living a married life" you mean they have sex
before they got married? There are more to a married life than
having sex.
I don't know how Singaporeans view virginity, how much is
virginity in Australia? I guest it depends very much on individual,
her values or conviction. Not right to make a sweeping
statement.
What happened to this IndoGirl can happen to VietGirl or
ChinaGirl, in Singapore, in Malaysia, in Australia..... did
IndoGirl cry over the loss of virginity?
