    Bad Idea

    The best bit of advice i ever received in the Philippines was "keep her family as far away as possible"
    Some of my x pat friends in Makati will not even allow any of their "wives" relatives to even to visit
    Live anywhere in the Phills but as far away from her family as possible
    Of course she will want to be near her family but that dont mean that it is going to be good for you
    Resist letting her convince you its such a great idea........

    You will be expected to pay for everything


    Before anyone jumps on my post and tells me "oh its so great being near her family and you love it"
    Give it more time and you will end up agreeing with me

    Been living near my wife's family for 14 years and i do not agree with you. Do you think i have given it enough time We live about 3km from my wife's family and they do not intrude. Around 3 times a year we have a family party at our house and it can be months before i see some of them again.
    Just because certain family members have faults, doesn't mean the whole family has to be tarred with the same brush. Diba!

    So you expat friends will not allow there #wives# parents or siblings to visit them. Sound like they are a right bunch of bullies your mates!

    Have you ever lived with a girlfriend in the Philippines or all your facts just based on what other people have told you?

    I agree with you LM, one must at least lay down some rules in order to nip it in the bud!
