I hope no one is offended by what I say but, this thread has been a really brilliant and extremely informative and thanks to Mark it has also opened people eyes to the fact that anything can happen within a relationship of short or long standing. It must be pointed out that what happened to Mark was not motivated by money and I hope that anyone reading this thread will not become paranoid because the paranoia can be the reason to start a relationship to break down. I'm sure there are some members like myself who have smaller incomes, let us reassure those that may have doubts about there filipino wife's or partners not to worry too much because the lady from the Philippines can and is very supportive if her man shows the love and respect she deserves!
