Proof if needed the 'emotional blackmail' is doing the trick. Everyone here can see it, you have tunnel vision & guilt.

Start talking to other Filipino's in chat rooms, dating sites, etc. You have plenty of time & choice, have a siesta from the relationship, step back (don't get drunk)....YOU ARE BEING USED.

Worried that her family may beat her? What has that got to do with you, they'd do it anyway, whether they knew you or not if that is the way they treat her.

She may go back to 'work' again. She's done it in the past, it won't bother her, classed as 'normal' for those type of girls.

All it means to her & the family is that they have to wait a little longer for a new white boy to come along to abuse.
