The older I get the more I realize this and why this might be a part of the issues my family has. My mom's the primary abuser, my dad's passive and lets her do whatever. But in my parents generation a lot of asian women married white, and my dad isn't that impressive in the circle he grew up in, so I don't think there were many asian women around him that expressed an interest in him. My mom was the only person willing to go along with my dad and get married etc, and I think my dad doesn't want to be alone forever, so he thinks everything my mom says is okay.
Like, if another woman had expressed interest in my dad, maybe I wouldn't be here in this situation. My dad had legitimately no one. My parents were matched up by family friends cause they were both old and couldn't find partners on their own.
I half don't blame my dad for not leaving my mom, or for getting with her, because his only options were lifelong singlehood, or an abusive women. And in this era I think many asian men just chose the latter.
Now for his son today there is no arranged marriage to save him, never began.
