This lonely old man lost his health, job and then his wife when she feared that he could no longer support her financially.
No matter how lonely you are, no Cheekon can be your good friend and never allow any WL to be your friend else sure GG, especially 深不可测 PRC WLs as they only pretend to be your friend initially to make you feel nice to build up her regular base to 挣钱 only, simple as that. WLs should be at most your fire and forget FBs or lover for a short lease.
WLs are only here to make monies and already deeply corrupted by these motivation and nothing else. Even if you marry them, like so many other bros have shared in so many pitiful threads throughout the years, once their financial need is disrupted, they will go back to become FL/Cheekons again, LOL. Hence the brutal truth is, there is no hope for redemption for Cheekons. Once they step into this line, it's a forever gone case.
Hence for any cheonging trip, I always always engage in role-playing experience (e.g. long lost friends meet up for forbidden love, boss-secretary, patient-nurse etc.) which is damn farking fun, exciting but nothing more. Most importantly, it becomes stress-free. Since these WLs like to act, then you should also act and play along with fantasy roles so that both parties won't take it seriously and know what the whole session is about (transactional) which is fairer for all. Isn't this better?
Rather then go GL to find 'friend' or worse find 'love' which will only give you more stress and misery, siao LMAO.
