This might be a curved ball but I am wondering if she is pregnant as this plays havoc with your hormones.
It's in the Filipino culture to be dependent on family in a way we're not. They simply do not understand the concept of independence as we know it. She's never going to behave as an English woman would (not living with her mother etc).
Is there a local Filipino Association near you? There is one near me, and they organise all sorts of social events, badminton etc.
