跨越时间和空间的持家挑战不可避免地使婚姻角色和关系紧张，并为性不忠提供诱惑和机会，并被认为会增加婚姻破裂的倾向。本文提出了问题，通过从越南的定性证据之间的关系，移民和婚姻破裂的假设。我们关注14名在河内和胡志明婚姻破裂的男女移民。我们探讨了他们对婚姻破裂的解释，以及移民在其中扮演的角色。越南长期以来的观点认为，家庭层面的社会进程的建立和维持优先于夫妻的亲密和情感关系，这些在长期的配偶分离面前具有很强的弹性。然而，与此同时，一些男人和一些女人主动选择破坏他们的婚姻，因为他们对亲密、忠诚以及提供和照顾的义务的期望没有得到满足。我们认为，移民发挥到婚姻破裂的经验，在高度不同的方式和婚姻破裂和移民的经验更微妙的性别比通常描绘。在这样做的时候，我们力求为关于持家的文献和关于移徙对策的政策思考作出贡献。
The challenges of householding across time and space inevitably strain marital roles and relationships, as well as providing temptations and opportunities for sexual infidelity, and is assumed to increase the propensity for marital breakdown. This paper raises questions about the assumed relationship between migration and marital disruption through qualitative evidence from Vietnam. We focus on 14 men and women migrants with disrupted marriages in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh. We explore their interpretations of the breakdown of their marriages and the role that migration played within this. Long-standing views in Vietnam prioritise the creation and sustaining of household-level social processes over and above couple’s intimacy and emotional relationship and these are highly resilient in the face of extended spousal separation. At the same time, though, some men and some women actively choose to disrupt their marriages where expectations about intimacy, fidelity, and obligations for provisioning and care were not met. We argue that migration plays into experiences of marital disruption in highly divergent ways and experiences of marital disruption and migration are more subtly gendered than is commonly portrayed. In doing so, we seek to contribute to both the literature on householding and to policy thinking about responses to migration.
