It is imperative that you help Pia in finding a small circle of "her" own friends, pinays and what not....Originally Posted by Piamed
I have been a bit concerned since Pia has been here, that she had lost some of her confidence. In da Phils Pia would lead me everywhere and she would organise everything. It was her 'manor' so to speak and she oozed confidence in all that she did. Since being here, I have struggled to get her to talk to Brits on the phone and in person. She also has never ventured outside of the house unless I've been with her. I know that i should be careful what I wish for.Certianly though, being pregnant and in a new country has been key to her 'shyness'.
Peace!
Being pregnant in alien surroundings, without any friendly faces or voices, familiar noises, etc. can be depressing.
She must be feeling very lonely indeed when you are away on business, and regardless how often she sees or talks to you, it may not be enough to assuage her temporary insecurity.
Showering her with gifts is only a momentary release and in my view it is a short term solution to what could be a long term (9 months) problem.
Pinays have the bad habit of not talking about what worries them, or if they say something it is usually what they want you to know, so that they don't cause you to worry unduly.
We wish you all the best.
