Hi Sim, I am fairly new here and married a Filipina last April and we are finally getting her settlement visa for the UK sorted, I have found we brits say somthing and of course we know what we mean, but our lovely Filipina's somtimes do not get our thoughts correct and the same can happen with what they say to us.
Also there could be pre wedding nerves here, I know I had some but also knew my wife to be was the best thing that could happen to me.
Please let us know how this goes if you visit her again, my thoughts anf hopes are with you.
Mick.
