A thorny problem my own experience is that my g/f doesnt like that i am still friends with my ex wife
We went through the anger stuff together and years on are good friends
I get the impression that culturaly i should now be her enemy and the result is I dont bring her or any contact into the relationship with my g/f as this becomes a recipe for jealousy
Im not suggesting this is the same situation but it may be that in some cases filopinos perhaps feel insecure and that is a recipe for not having things shared that otherwise would be
Which then if discovered leads to mistrust being generated
