@LA-wv7gf Sounds like, you’re a keeper. I’ve married twice, 25years, and now for 10. Both times, to women who can’t get over their anger. And are uncomfortable with intimacy, looking you in the eyes, kissing, etc.
My mistake, is I can see the potential, in a person. The good things. With love and trust, they may come out of their shell. Three therapists a week, didn’t help my ex.

Mainland Chinese, Not Taiwanese, typically have a, what's my advantage, mindset.
The Mao era, tore up their culture, and families. Then under Communism, they can't talk politics or religion, and are under surveillance. Some have broken free. But many are hyper vigilant, me me me.
I married one, looking for the mirage, of traditional values.

@3Hose Wesley, this was over 40 years ago. We were young, she was as pretty as any 19yr old can be. Smart, thrifty, and physically fit. I didn’t know what a red flag was, in my idealistic head. She had many bowel surgeries, starting at 6 weeks old. I could see a tiger in there. But she was scared, and not trusting, of physical contact, intimacy. We were good friends. Surely, being a steady safe partner. She would feel safe enough, to come out of her shell. There were a few glimpses of brilliance, when she forgot to be vigilant. Enough to keep me hanging onto a thread, for 28 years together. My anxiety got so bad, in the end. That she finally let me go.
I would have too, I was a sleepless, face picking disaster.
Fool that I am, I still love her. But life is better now. Not mirroring, her anxiety.

My long deceased grandmother. Would say “young people these days”etc. Then I would ask her to tell her stories, from the good old days.
Things are better now, than being locked in the root cellar, for things your brothers did. Giving your sister a home abortion, because your husband was raping her. Being abused, because she kept having girls. Having a husband who didn’t come home, till all the money was spent.
She outlived him, by many years. And, was to the end, a very loving generous person.
I believe in loyalty, but grandpa didn’t deserve, any.
