Gossip And How It Affects Us

[i am bob]

gossip and rumors can be very hurtful  . I was part of another forum and was attacked for expressing my views . This included members I know telling outright lies about me but hiding behind a fake account and taking pot shots at me . In the end the truth came out but not before I was dragged through the mud and the other person was untouched because they used a alias .  In the end I did find out who the Alias was and one day we will meet again as the RP is a very small place  .

How did this affect me well I dropped off all forums using my real name and offering help in person or meeting other members . There are a few who know who I am and I hope they can keep it quiet   

 

Oh, c'mon now!  We all know who you are!  Unknown Comic, my foot!  You're Murray Langston!!!

 

:mocking:

I thought the pic was of Howie Mandell when he revived the bit but, after checking a little deeper, that's Murray Langston's pic. Still another good Canadian from Nova Scotia!

My partner just told me the gossip about a guy named "X" who is married to her ate Dixie.  Seems X lives/works in the US and visits Camotes a couple/few times a year and when he is gone Dixie is a whore.  The best part is when X came for a visit and Dixie was pregnant with some filipino's kid but she does not say anything.  On X's next visit the kid has been born and is living with D's mother and still D says nothing.  X does not seem too bright, or maybe he knows what is going on and chooses to look the other way.  Seems X is the same age as me and I can see his profile on Facebook but I chose not to contact him.  I mean what could I say?  I have seen this happen many times before and when I have dropped clear hints the man chooses to ignore them.

 

UPDATE:  My partner just heard from "X" via Facebook and it seems he walked away from Camotes, Philippines, Dixie, huge house and lot, and the arsehole caretaker who fathered the kid he was not supposed to know about.  I am still not sure how much he knows but it seems he knows enough and walked away.

 

Lesson:  Trust is a luxury, it can happen to any or us, it will hurt financially and emotionally. If it seems to good to be true that a beautiful lady is waiting for you, many miles away, and is faithful and honest and good with money, then it probably is not true.

Knew a guy that brought his filipina to the states and wanted my wife to help her adjust to the states while he was working, Wife started talking to her about getting some medical stuff and that she might need a couple of shots, Filipina asked what kind of shots and wife told her, wife told her nothing to worry about unless she was pregnant, Wife said the filipinas face turned white and she started to cry. When I got home the filipina and my wife where there. wife filled me in that filipina might be pregnant. So she had me go and get a pregnancy test so we could check, sure enough she was from a boy friend back home she said. I don't see how she got to the states pregnant. Anyway friend was coming to pick up filipina and the filipina wanted me to tell him, said no way your mess you tell him. A couple of weeks later my friend started telling me how the filipina kept starting fights over everything and has started telling him she wanted to go home, she didn't like it here and she only came because her parents made her. Eventually, my friend couldn't take it any more and sent her home, before she was showing I guess, and she wouldn't even get undressed in front of him or anything else for that matter.  As far as I know he never knew, and my wife and I felt horrible not telling him and knowing her secret, but we couldn't stand the thought of being the one's to break his relationship and heart. He is an outstanding man with a big heart, never deserved what was going on behind his back. He had never been married in his 60 years on earth. His search continues but I noticed he is much more cautious than before. He wants to retire there in the Phils and said he won't get serious until he is living there.

Gossip is bad enough on it`s own and made even worse when people add their own 10 peso worth to it

A Filipina left on her own is an affair waiting to happen.

 

The "biggest thing" in Filipino "culture" is "Love". "Telenovelas", "pocket books", Valentine's Day.... people go round with  their heads stuffed with thoughts of "love".

 

Of course, tsismis is not always wholly accurate, and it tends to "improve on" the facts, but "no smoke without fire" is still a good principle.

 

Here is a good example of tsismis at work - a friend - a long time resident of Subic - broke up with his long standing girlfriend ("A")because he wanted children and she wanted a career. That was a couple of years ago. They are now, as it were cautiously circling round each other again - they have each said that they are still in love with the other. However during the period when thet were "not an item" je had a fling with another lady ("B").  "A") - the serious girlfriend - has been told that he had been carrying on witj B behind her back before the breakup -which he was not - but how can he prove a negative?
