My advice to anyone who suffers negative comments or reactions to their relationship is to rise above them and ignore them. It is human nature for some people to be jealous/bitchy/catty and reacting to that will only drag you down to their level.

I agree.

During my last visit my gf never left my side when we were out. I am visiting again on Friday for 10 days and hope to sneak a little time out by myself. I wonder if the reaction to a single man will be different to that of me being with my gf!

My Fiance planned to come here to have at least 1 week holiday together, but when I told him that he have to be on his own on the second day of his stay as I will have to go to the Hall of Justice to sort out my annulment.
He loved to come but he said he did not want to travel all the way from the other side of the world and only to find himself alone. But I told him , he will just be alone for few hours while I m in the Hall of Justice as I can not bring him with me to the courtroom.
He said, he did not want to be on his own if he is here in the Philippines.
So in the end we both agreed that he will come here early next year then we will go back together to England if I got my visa by then.
