Yeah... trust is a difficult issue when dealing with a long distance relation.
Espechially when i deal with a country like the Philippines. There are so many scary storys out there, and so mutch money involved. Its make me scared sometimes, maybe i think "what if im scammed". No offence to filipinas in here.
My woman have many times showed me the amazing goodness, and trust. Again and again. But sometimes its hard, becauce of scary storys... and maybe sometimes im overreacting to some signs that i may get all wrong.

Mitch! i dunno if your a filippina or a man. but from my p.o.w.
Its a lot of money involved. Like me have choose to give everything 100% to
get my G.F. and her child to Norway. If this fails i have put alot at stake that i may loose. I rely on a relationship with my gf to be based on trust, but sometimes you will never know.... i have also been burned before.
Sometimes the language will make some missunderstanings too, so its important to have often contact, either in phone, msn, or txt.
Its important to have open discussions, and try to clear up everything, if the
language are hard to understand.

Best wishes!
