Couple’s BTO plans in doubt after serious argument leaves Singaporean man uncertain一对情侣激烈争执后，男方不确定还要不要一起申请预购组屋

Key points要点

• The Independent Singapore reported a 27-year-old man who is having second thoughts about applying for a BTO flat with his 26-year-old girlfriend after a serious argument.《独立报》新加坡版报道，一名27岁男子在和26岁女友严重争执后，对一起申请预购组屋（BTO）产生犹豫。
• He said the clash came from confronting her about a quick temper, defensiveness when criticised, and an unwillingness to change. He said it had been raised more than once.他说争执来自对方脾气急、被人指出问题时会辩解，以及不愿意改变。他说这件事已经提过不只一次。
• The couple took a one-week break. They have since patched things up to some extent and started discussing the BTO application again.两人分开了一个星期。之后关系有所缓和，又重新讨论预购组屋申请。
• He says they are not very stable. She wants to apply in this BTO window because she says she is not very young anymore. He asked whether holding back makes him selfish.他说两人并不稳定。女友说自己已经不算很年轻，想在这一轮申请。他问自己按住不申请算不算自私。
• People replying said he was not being selfish. One said withdrawing from a BTO later can cost quite a bit of the down payment. The article gives no dollar figure.回复的人说这不算自私。有人说日后退出预购组屋，首期可能损失不少。文章没有写出金额。
• Another reply said to apply only if he is fully sure, because a good queue number can make it harder to walk away later.另一则回复说，只有完全确定，才应该申请。抽到好号码之后，再退出会更难。
• One reply said waiting for the next launch, or the one after that, would not by itself make a large difference to prices or key-collection dates. That is a reader’s view in the article, not an HDB rule.有回复说，等到下一轮，甚至再下一轮，价钱和拿钥匙的时间本身不会差很多。这是文章里一位读者的看法，不是建屋发展局的规定。
• A few replies said the relationship could still work if both people addressed the differences, including by watching how she treats other people and by considering counselling.也有少数回复说，如果双方愿意处理分歧，关系仍可能继续，包括先观察她怎样对待别人，以及考虑辅导。
• This is one couple’s account of an online post. It is not a BTO price, a ballot result, or a reason to buy or sell a flat.这是一对情侣在网上的自述。它不是预购组屋的价钱，不是抽签结果，也不是买卖其他组屋的理由。
