so what part do you think is not generally true:
that Filipinas look at their foreign husband as an investment.so what part do you think is not generally true
I am married to a Brit, but I never looked at him that way. I have never asked him to support any of my family members, nor I made him feel obligated to do so. I can tell you now as well that he never felt like this is a responsibility he needed to take.
It is sad that someone, be it British, American, whoever would say that Filipinos are making you guys as an investment for ourselves and our families back in the Philippines. It could be true for some...but not for all.

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?
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.
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.

wholeheartedly, Olivia ...
... and, Dave ... I don't wish to appear in any way "smug"
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.

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
SAME HERE OLIVIA
on the contrary, me and hubby may actually run to my family for financial help in case we get short in the future, lol
