    Thanks Piamed, I just need to get there ASAP. You wouldn't believe me, if I told you.

    Hi Florge, she lives in the city & that's where she is now...Her parents live in the province, that's where she was called back to.
    & yes, she will meet me at the airport, all being well.

    This whole experience, has been an eyeopener....believe me.

    Well done Sim, I'm convinced that this is the right thing to do. I wish you both all the best.

    She's in CDO? If you happen to travel down Davao direction, it would be good to meet you both.

    Thanks PeterB. Yes she's in CDO...You were right about the family agreements.
    Congratulations to you both...It would be great to see you & the new arrival.

    That's what I thought too. My advice...don't take anything for granted.
    Well it seems in the end, she has done just that, but not without a lot of heartache in between.

    There maybe a lot more to come, particularly for her as she has gone against her family. It could build up as resentment to me?

    How right you are! It's gone from being totally hopeless to seeing that light at the end of the tunnel.

    All I can say is that I hope all goes well in your favour, and get the result you wish for.

    Family pressure can break relationships, but if she agreed to see you despite it, might mean that she is willing to be indipendent.

    So don't despair, think positive, act positive and all will be ok.

    I don't want to go into details, but persistance on my part & her own common sense, seems to have paid off.

    Anyway, it's time to sort things out...I have to say, I feel a little numb about it at the moment?
    Reads as if there maybe some good news. But like you say a lot for you to take in. The Wife and I had problems which if we lived round from the corner of one another would most likely been over in the blink of a eye or never happened.

    I hope things work out for the best for both of you.
    Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops

    Hi Sim...

    Hi there,

    Wow!!! you sure have your problems and you don't need to go and look for them. Where do I start?, anyway, I have read your post and to be honest with you if your woman really loves you then she will fight for it and stick with you because no matter what type of hindrances may come you have only one principle on your mind that you have to be true and honest with your feelings and follow what your heart says, well, if you think and feel that she really loves you then no worry you can go on with your plan but if she's doubting where to go wether to follow her family or to be with you then if it's meant to be its meant to be but you're right don't mention about any redundancy money, to be honest if you are going to marry her I think it would be better if she applied for a Marriage settlement visa in Phils. and marry her in the U.K, the visa will take 3 months to process and if she is granted a visa then she can come here to the U.K for 6 months but you must marry her within the 6 months period or she needs to go home. A word of warning, if you are going to settle in the Phils. then you need to be careful if you are buying a lot or house and lot because you can't own the land in your name and you are a foreigner it has to be in your wife's name and thats when the problem can start after you've been together for a while.

    Hope I can help you ......

    Thanks somebody, I guess this long distance thing makes you fight harder. I know I wasn't really prepared to let it go.
    I'm all fired up now...Let me on that plane NOWWWW!!!!!!

    By the time you come back on the site, you will probably be taking advantage of the free internet in either Hong Kong or Singapore airports...

    Boring long flight.... Innit....???

    It will have been worth it, mate...

    Godspeed....

    Goodluck Sim
    It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good to check up once in a while to make sure you haven't lost the things that money can't buy.
