When an old Aussie expat here met my girl he said after she seems different to a lot of Filipinas he sees with expats, definitely not an, "up to you girl" as he put it. The type, when you ask what they want to do, it's always, "up to you." They never have a say in the decisions and don't want to That wouldn't work for me, mainly because I'm an indecisive git at times anyway Besides, this is her city, she knows places that I don't, so no point in me taking charge all the time. I have noticed though I can have the final say if needs be and there's no problem there, but I'd rather us discuss things than me be the boss 24/7.

I was chatting to an expat the other evening and his fiance was slouching in her seat as me and him were talking. He gave her a little nudge, and said, "sit up straight." Reminded me of a father talking to his daughter. That's what a lot of guys who come here want, I guess, a wife they can boss around and train to be how they want. Not for me
