Hello Natalie, welcome to the site.
You're not the only englishwoman who fell inlove with a filipino. Recently theres a new member here called cruisingkerry, at the moment she have a fil bf who work in the cruise ship as well, same with her. I think everything is fine with them.
But I think, yours a bit complicated because as to what you've said your bf is still married but he and his wife are no longer together. Philippines has no divorce but theres an annulment which it takes time to process. Unless if he gets a lawyer who usually asked for a higher price to speed things up.
And another thing is, what if his wife will oppose or will not respond to the annulment petition? Gosh, sounds a bit difficult.
Well, goodluck to both of you![]()
