Regardless of how many years we've been dating or married, a sense of ritual is very important.

His efforts were lauded by fellow guest Yang Hao-ru, who praised his attentiveness as a father, noting his proactive care for their son without needing prompting.
He is so young and handsome, and he does these things proactively without needing to be told. It makes you feel quite bitter.

Comedian Zhao Zhengping spoke about his approach to financial support, detailing his wife's unrestricted use of credit cards and his provision of a generous monthly allowance, which included arranging a 45-day stay at a luxury postpartum care center.
Why must they keep up with others? I regretted it later, as it would put more pressure on the child, making them feel like they caused their parents to argue.
