my wifes family doesnt need support from me either! and would be embarassed from your comments trader dave.
not all our wifes are from the poor areas and why would misses piggy need to read about her own culture,shes from there?
i have learnt to do what my wife says!
Being a Filipina and having a British partner i would say that YES not every Filipina are the same. Since i met Kevin never did I asked nor my family. In contrary I was the one sending money to hi to pay his rent, grocery and even fare coming back here. But never complained nor have I ever make him remember this...I guess being in love with that person it is my obligation to support my husband as he needs it. Never i complained of things i have done for my husband and im still happy and willingly do it again for him

i couldn't agree with you more miss piggy and maybe dave is basing his comment from his previous experience. like you i didn't asked my hubby to support my kids instead i helped him to run our mortgage business and touch wood it's doing pretty well.
Got to endorse your comments Miss P,some do,some dont but you have to sift a lot of mud to find a diamondlisten to a hundred different experiences from a hundred different pinay/puti marriages and your going to find very good,very bad,and lots of middle ground,dave wasnt stereotyping,his wifes an orphan I think?
I know some guys who dont send a penny in remmittances to the Philippines,and I have known some who hemorrhaged massive amounts of cash,and their marriages dissolved because of constant never ending demands from 7500 miles away,theres good and bad in all cultures.

Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
WELL THAT STIRRED SOME EMOTION
but as my friend saidit was not a generalisation it is based on many years of MY OWN EXPERIANCE
An ounce of practical experience is worth a ton of theory
WELL THAT STIRRED SOME EMOTION
but as my friend saidand often feels equally as heavy if your the one experiencing it

people can learn many things about our country but they will never understand our sense of humour
sometimes a thread gets stale i like to wake them up
right whos next for a debate
wholeheartedly, Olivia ...
... and, Dave ... I don't wish to appear in any way "smug"but have to say that I'm very lucky also, as MY wife is yet ANOTHER who falls into the same category as Olivia in this respect, simply because HER family is fortunate enough to be self-supporting.
Sure, she'd like to earn money [WHO wouldn't?].But, at the end of the day (or should I say "working week"?) any wage she DID receive, would be utilised - along with my pension - towards the upkeep of OUR household ... and no-one else's.

Sure, she'd like to earn money [WHO wouldn't?].
but for every family that is self supporting there are many which are not fortunate enough to be in that situation and for many it is a burden the pilipina/o has to shoulder and of course her husband [which is you and me]
i am also fortunate my loverly wife has no family but she also does not forget where she came from unlike many
but my first pilipina wife had a very large family which we both helped to support AT TIMES
Pretty much like ourselves, really ...
I could tell an absolutely ridiculous story,but 100% factual of a lady who was supposed to be saving along with her husband for a much larger house,he had about 40K in the bank so she should have realistically had much,much more as he was paying all the bills,mortgage,paying her flights back to pinas to visit her family once a year,paid for her to go to america,spain,ireland,sweden...................the good times sort of ended abruptly when he found out she had borrowed at least 30K from the bank and sent it back,she never mentioned her savings or anything so he never knows the true amount or the true story,needless to say they are going through a divorce at the moment,and thats one lady who is going to be a lot worse off,you know the bad part?She never even had the sense to say "Sorry"

hmmmm, money the root of all evil)...
when my dad died, my husband hugged me and said he will do the same for my mum. and to this day he supports my mother. i told him he can stop as my dad left my mother with a a hefty life insurance. but my hubby said what he gives my mum is just for her day to day living so she is comfortable.
i really must show my hubby more love and appreciation.. i sometimes tend to overlook the things he does for me
for all the wives out there give ur brit husbands a big hug
God grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things i can and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people i had to kill because they pissed me off.
LOL, sorry tawiwi, i'm, the youngest, no more single and available sister next to me, lolIlike the sound of that

you should of told him to get a job?Being a Filipina and having a British partner i would say that YES not every Filipina are the same. Since i met Kevin never did I asked nor my family.

i have learnt to do what my wife says!
Kev worked for a couple of months when he went back in the UK but because he has problem with his hips he have difficulties in walking...so I told him to get less hours of work. So coz its bit expensive there I have helped him with his bills and and just decided to go back here. Its alright with me, I would be willing to help him all the time as I know if he can only work regularly he would do the same thing.
There once was a girl that believed in mankind, that there was still honor and chivalry that existed in everyone of us. She also believed that everyone deserves a chance to prove oneself individually and hoped that the courtesy would be returned. That girl is dead now, and all that is left is her shadow. To give one a chance to prove thyself is a chance for you to become dwindled in the dissappointment.
BD,thats true love,your a rarity,you got something very special with kevin

In a relationship it is always give and take. Money should never be a part of an arguement- better yet it should be discussed fairly.Kev worked for a couple of months when he went back in the UK but because he has problem with his hips he have difficulties in walking...so I told him to get less hours of work.

Kevin is a very special person...when i fell in love with him never have i asked about how much he has in his pocket nor how much he will earn. I choice to be with him because i love him, part of it is that no matter what, as a wife i should help him. And until to this point though he is incarcerated, i am still willingly do my part and even for many times he will be in this situation i will offer my help again and again.BD,thats true love,your a rarity,you got something very special with kevin
so i guess if we really love our chosen partners MONEY will never be a problem
