A brief explanation of my situation I'm English-met my Filipino partner over 3 years ago when we were working on the same cruise ship.We were together for the 4 mths I worked on the ship each year then would see each other when the ship returned to the UK every few wks or so-texting/phoning in between-he came here for a visit-I went to the PH for a visit.Late last year I lost my job on the ship so our long-distance relationship became even more long-distance.He has an estranged wife and kids.We have always wanted to marry .
Wonderful as my friends are they can't understand my relationship/think I should find somebody here/feel the relationship will never work because there are too may problems etc.I know they want what's best for me and don't like to see me unhappy but I haven't given up hope and just need some support.
