Where does your partner/husband/wife/lover/mate/darling come from ? by Tôm Càng

Hi everyone, This poll seems confused but the truth is, it's kinda simple but needs explanation cause there are 3 variables: 1-2) same nationality/same as country: (A) your dumpling stayed at home and you went abroad and (B) hey ! I assumed you ...
