To a wife,

To a husband,

Is it easy being a filipina's husband?

[scott&ligaya]

firstly I think you should prefix the question with the statement

marriage is not easy.. period. both parties have to work at it and anything worth having is usually got to be worked for

That being said

being married to Ligaya is just like the meaning of her name Joy and happieness:BouncyHappy::BouncyHappy::BouncyHappy::BouncyHappy:

Learning to deal with Tampo and stinky dilis have been my only hardships
hehehehehehe

[Mrs.JMajor]

Can you ever really learn to deal with tampo, in my experience you just have to let it run it's course. I've come to the conclusion that all Filipina's need to have a good tampo every now and then and they usually aim their wrath at the husband whether he personally has done something to upset her or not. :Erm:

Questions...

To a wife,

Is it easy being a british wife?

To a husband,

Is it easy being a filipina's husband?

Marriage in intself, is hard enough. And it needs a lot of work from both the husband and the wife. Generally it might be harder because of the difference in culture but i guess it all depends on how far both of you are willing to compromise and understand each other's differences individually as well as culturally, to make the marriage work.
I just got here last week, so i'm still trying to adapt how everything is done here. My husband was teasing me the other day, he told me "you can take the filipina out of the philippines but u cannot take the philippines out of the filipina". We just both laughed about it as i know my husband is giving me more time to adjust to the way of life here. At thesame time, on my end, i am also trying to learn to do everything around here the british way and try to keep up fast :) And so far, i'm having a blast! U just need to be more flexible and open-minded to new things that come your way.
And most importantly, be happy and decide to be happy no matter what the circumstances are - good or bad. Its all on the attitude. We cannot control bad things from happening but we can control how are we gonna react to it. So its always best to deal with it positively and with the right attitude.

Very true, I've said that to my wife more than once.

I think its too early for me to say :icon_lol: Well I will try based on my exp now:icon_lol:. Indeed, its really hard both must work it out to flourish everything in the relationship. Esp having a baby and more to come:doh:doh:doh Lots lots and lots of struggle. Selfgiving, understanding and so on ... As my husband always says we will cross that bridge when we get there:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[adam&chryss]

well i noticed with my husband when i have tampo or i'm upset with him. he always ask what's wrong even he already knew what is really wrong :doh
which makes me more upset..
now he knows me well. when i have tampo he'll just leave me alone till my tampo subsides...

[ANDRES25]

My husband doesn't even know that word... perhaps because I don't get tampo I just get upset and angry and when I'm upset he just leaves me alone...

[faithgareth]

it's hard everytime we argue on something because there are some words that i cant express in english and i wish he would understand it when i say it in tagalog or ilonggo...sigh
