Great Expectations

[bornatbirth]

I thought from your other posts you were in the "spoil them rotten" boat, sending laptops and phones when she was in the Phils. Now your complaining over a pair of boots

your getting confused, how a husband wants to treat his wife while shes in the philipines waiting to come to the uk is different to the demands of a wife whens shes in the uk, where the money and support was used for different stuff now the wife wants it for shopping

As I've said in other posts if you buy a lot of gifts and send a heap of money - more than they've ever been used to - you're just giving the impression these things are on tap. It's only natural she'll always expect it, whether she's here or at home.

but true.

I have seen a lot of perfectly good pinoy/pinay change and become very materialistic this way ... and I hate to see anyone change for the worse.

Time for a holiday in the Philippines and get the latest Niki, Dolco and Gabbano, Gicci, Proda, Jimmy Choose, Louis Violin....... Looks almost the same, and might even last a few washes.

you're in PI alright!

Notavirusalso, I thought from your other posts you were in the "spoil them rotten" boat, sending laptops and phones when she was in the Phils. Now your complaining over a pair of boots And some of the advice... Fred's was a good reply though

i will leave the 'after marriage' comment from him but i guess im a little confident here

Since we been married i am just spending most of my time making sure my wife is well cared for and comfertable in her new home and reaping the fringe benifits thank you very much, couldnt be happier. Life here in the uk with mari is perfect but when she finds a pair of boots that cost more than a lap top I have to thank some members on here for giving me the heads up. i should of heeded their warnings,...... how foolish was I I thought i knew everthing of but was taken in by her beauty sexiness and inteligence and all i get in return is a careing wife, meals on the table when i get home to clean home and clean socks and pants everyday.....what have i done ? ? ?

Word dont give false expectations on how life will be if you cant back it up. Easy to act like a millionaire in Phill for a short time much harder in the UK for a lifetime..

On a serious note from the wifes experience dont skimp on shoes. The wife tried the cheaper shoes but they fell apart we ended up buying all the time.
Quality shoes last a long time. A good pair of uggs for the winter are lifesavers the wifes current ones lasted two years and used a lot.. Also if your feet are warm then it dont feel so bad especially when snow on the ground

Its the truth mate I'm sure Mari will look for the best value, but decent qulity shoes not possibly the fanciest label but a decent make. Will help especially for Winter shoes/boots. Trust me.
Most Fillipinas the Wife knows think they are one of the most important thing they can possess during the Winter months.

[bornatbirth]

I disagree

Needs is different with Pleasure

needs=A condition or situation in which something is required or wanted
pleasure= A source of enjoyment or delight


*a woman needs a nice quality boots to wear in a crappy weather like here in the UK*

[sars_notd_virus]

my view is:

First Attitude and not Impression counts a lot !!!

[aposhark]

...............So if I were you, convince your hubby to get decent pair of boots
And that's all I can say!

I couldn't agree more gecko_pikachu, if we go out with the wrong walking boots on it can make us miserable.
In fact, I'd say that what we wear on our feet, whether rain or shine, really makes us feel good (or bad).

I waited for the sale in "Go Outdoors" and we got 25% off two pairs of Brasher walking boots.
They were expensive but they will last for so many years and the more they are worn, the more comfortable they become.
Why get four other types of shoes or trainers that break easily when more expensive ones last many years.

Drawing the line on this is so hard though
Does a dress that costs £100 last ten times longer than a dress that cost £10 for example.

but undressing a wife from a £100 dress will be better than undressing a wife in £10 dress........
