    Hey guys,don't get me wrong here
    hi mrs major. im married to Brit as well, though I met him thru my colleagues at work. I mean I met him here in UK already as I am working as a Nurse. I have a few friends in Phils asking to find them a husband here specially a British one.

    3 reasons I usually get are:
    1. To be here/live abroad so they can help their families.
    2. They said they don't mind old one as love can be learn though they prepared young and good looking one
    3. They want to get out of the country (Phils) by any means.

    Its a sad but true. Mostly our kababayans thinks that being out the country and work abroad is the only way. Well, im one those filipinos who strive hard and went to all agencies in the Phils just to get out of the country and have a good future. Being here in the UK for 8 years now I would say I get what I want Im not rich but I have a good husband and 2 cute children.

    Happy New Year and all the best. I think you are just being open on the realities of what of some our kababayans facing right now.

    Filipinas are known to be a bread winner.I agree that most of us go working abroad for our family.I myself consider it right after finishing my course I have decided to work abroad to help my parents supporting my two siblings in college in that way I could repay Their kindess to me when sending me to a very high standard college in our city.My mum didnt wanted me to go working abroad but I insist and Blackmailing her that if she wouldnt let me I would run away and work abroad still and she couldnt do anything about it but agreed for my decision.She was so supported and kind that I will do anything for them.And then while I was abroad I met my beloved thats how it started.so we cant blame filipinas if they want to go abroad and as well face the fact that some of filipinas using foreigner really just to come out the country but they`re not harming you or me so let them decide what they want to do and thats their life anyway not ours same as other member said stop poking your nose to others.Mind your own business.I also thought before that life abroad is harmonious and yet as the saying goes Not all that Glitters is Gold we thought that we earn a lot abroad life is precious but we didnt know that lifestyle here is so expensive as well.Being in U.K is better off coz of child benefits and hospitalization thats the advantageous.In philippines we have cheap labour but we have very cheap lifestyle and the disadvantage side is that we havent got free hospitalization in general unlike here, so wherever you go theres disadvantage and advantage sideso which one you pick.about me am settled now here with my hubby.wherever the hubby goes the wife should be with him
    to loved and beloved is the greatest joy on earth...

    Ruby arranged her employment abroad, obtained her passport etc without telling her parents. They knew nothing about it until the day before she departed.

    Hey guys,don't get me wrong here


    Hello Im new here but just caught up by your statement here. You wonder why some Filipino's marry an older guys than their parents ,just to be out of the country,do u believe its love"

    In my humble opinion it could be for many reasons. Many people-men and women go to different countries just to be get out from the county. if you see and put your eyes on the old man, you will really can ask why one person marry to this man and not to young one? But if you look at the country Philippines and its economic condition, you can find out there are many ways of getting out from Philippines to go other countries. And now, OFW to different countries will exist to your consideration.

    People who's living condition is not fair for their hardwork always look for a better life of their family and for someone they love. They will not really leaving philippines, but just out for this country with the intention of coming back in the future bringing back their hope which in the future would be realized and materialized.

    So why we asked if marrying to an older man is just a way to get out from the Philippines? We are hurting somebody and we are degrading those general people who really have pure intentions.

    If one marries older men, that happens to Philippines as well, and i could see no wrong on that. One does not need to depend one's opinion or what countries tradition to whom she or he would wish to marry. The fact that his decision was important for him and gives him faith that it makes her/his life better and comfortable with happiness that is more than marrying younger guys in the Philippines.

    I thought that issue has been resolved, if you read carefully Mrs. JMajor`s post she used the word "SOME" and that does not mean in general.
    And itS not intended to insult anybody if you take it as a critisism then ask yourself. If you are not guilty no offense, right.?
    If someone has a clean motive no need to explain to everyone why you married to an old man like the other members here said if you are happy with it you will not take Mrs. JMajor`s post negatively.

    Come on Ladies, stop sulking there. Start the year right, like me and Penny did , we started the year laughing out loud. hahahhaha right Penny?

    damn smilies not working again, well said simplelife :o)

    come on ladies, time to move on, its' new year and its a storm in a tea cup...

    one thing I've noticed with filipina's they can get offended or upset easily on here, sometimes things are taken the wrong way, misunderstood or written the wrong way.. just forget it and move on.. look at me and scouser Keith, always insulting each other at any chance were given, and were Bessie mates :o)

    so peace and stop this b4 it goes too far, not many on here have actually meet anyone else on here, so people don't know you, so don't take it to heart if someone who doesn't know you says something that upsets you, i'm sure they didn't mean to, were not kids on here, all over 21 i hope :o)

    Thanks Joebloggs.
    Its not easy to be a peacemaker ...
    But I can see each side`s point of view. Yes as you said "filipina's they can get offended or upset easily on here, sometimes things are taken the wrong way, misunderstood or written the wrong way.. "

    We have Pinoy saying here Joebloggs, " Ang Maasar talo!" in English, if you get upset or annoyed with it you are the loser. hahahha
    Penny where are you now ?someone must laugh with me now.

    That reminds me of the joke thats something like this:
    a 50 year old man is at a party with his 20 year old wife, his friend comes up to him and says " how did you get such a young pretty wife?"
    the man replies " i lied about my age"
    his friend says " how old did you say you are?"
    man says "82!"
    anyway this is forum about opinions will always be different but I would say that if you CHOOSE to live in a different country then dont bitch about it.
    And if the english weather is bad just remember you can drink the tap water, eat food without flies on " or cockroaches near!" for the whole year!
    Oh, and also if i`m not sure about people urinating in the garden when kids could play nearby when the toilet "or c.r." isnt far away is nice too?
    Everywhere has its good and bad points so hey lighten up and people can marry whoever they want to as long as they are happy.
    Happy new year everybody and best wishes for the future no matter how old your partner is or where you prefer to live

    Everyone tells me that I look about 40. If the Dr makes me look 10 years younger than my actual age, that'll be 45!
