@IanB I don't know how to answer this problem other than I have learned a lot from the above respected members and appreciate their advice without question.
I think you need to check her out as you're still sending money and I too question if she is being totally honest about everything
You have to have lived there Ian to see it first hand... I had an internet cafe and the mature ladies (married or in relationship) would come in daily (some several times a day and some with their partner playing on the next pc) to chat to "their foreign bf's" and give the usual sob story.
IT HAPPENS AND IT'S REAL - if in doubt check them out!!!!
but not all pinoy are like this - there must be some becoz we have some lucky members here - we just need to find them without too much pain.
Hope you find resolve in your current thoughts.....
