I wanted to know what were the chances of something like this happening,

 

 

 Life in Total is a gamble, with or without a lady even here in the Good old Philippines. most of us have no doubt had our thoughts similar to yours but many and Most of us here have all come through it.

As with many things we can only tell you our own little stories which in the main seem to have a happy Ending but then, most of us are a lot older and the Rough edges have been rounded off.

 

Advice: just this my Friend, "Don't beat yourself up" Que Sara Sara comes to mind. post-2148-0-87708400-1451450115.png

except for Dave experience which I'm sorry to hear about.

 

Thanks for you comment.  My overall experience was negative but oh what a ride!  I loved the 6 years as evidenced by my willingness to try again. You'll love it too, regardless of the outcome many years down the road.

Hi there,

 

 

I'm a 31 years old guy from France. Fit and not so bad looking, or thats what I think!! ;-) I been living in Philippines for over 3 years now. In my first months here I dated a serie of girls, trying to find the right one. There were a lot of them who were pretty but with lots of red flags so I easily discarded em. With other girl I stayed around 4 months but she was extremelly moody and with lots of tampo and jealously issues, so I ended dropping her also. Finally, I found my current girlfriend. She's 2 years younger than me. We have been together for almost two and half years. She's beautiful, intelligent and a very sweet lady. She studied in one of the best universities here in Cebu and has been working in the same bank for many years. Her parents both got nice jobs and they don't ask any money from her or me (her dad works abroad probably earning more than me). The family have been nice and lovable people when I have been around their home. My girl never been married before but had a filipino boyfriend who seems to used to cheat on her on a daily basis, until she got tired of it and decided to break up, years ago...

 

During those 2+ years I've been living together with her, I never found a single suspicious sign. No suspicious activity on her facebook or phone, not going out with friends or arriving home late after work, she don't drink, she don't like to party, nothing. She never asks for anything and she likes to cook at home for me rather to going out to dinner. She contributes to our living expenses with her salary. Really different to any other girls I dated before.

 

Well, I have no reason to don't trust her and I really love her. Unfortunately, I've heard from some expats many horror stories. Stories where the guys thought everything was perfect (like I do now) until they got married, the girl got her visa/passport and the nightmare started. I heard so many cases like these that I've become a bit paranoid. Some of these expats went as far as to tell me my case isn't any different to other horror stories they have heard before.

 

I just want to ask you guys, does this happen that often? Guys who were so sure that their girl was perfect, even with a good background, a good education and a nice family enviorment yet they got scammed? Is it really that bad or did those expat been extremely negative telling me those stories? What do you think?

 

Thanks so much in advance.

Wow....Sounds like a keeper. Well done sir.

What do you think?

 

Well, the first thing that comes to mind:  Does she have sister or a friend who is the same?

 

I think where ever in the world you are, only you can know your partner.  So, take on board what you have read and heard, but trust your instincts.  Even the best laid plans can go bad, but remember to enjoy life.

Filipinas are jealous. That's the way it is and nothing will change it. The upside is that they can be extremely loyal. I hate being negative, but as you have described it your situation may be too good to be true.
