not just with filipinos mate- i lost a house with a british ex about 10 years ago now- we put the house in her name due to problems with my ex wife- i paid for the deposit - all the brand new furniture- all new bosch appliances in the kitchen etc and the mortgage every month- oh and a new fiesta for her as well-
we ended up on an IVF programme cos she had problems with her ovaries- she ended up shagging a parking warden at the council where she worked cos i was working weekends earning and then carried on the IVF with HIM and having a kid!!!!! a daughter actually which broke my already broken heart- and bank balance

we bought it for about £38 k - and guess what 2 years after we split up she sold it for £94k- what did i get- .... all

so it can happen mate
