RubberChicken Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Whatever works to stop or minimize heartbreak before the damage is done. No? Somebody with a cultural, educational, economic and generational disparity gets a credit card and mostly unquestioned financial support and almost immediately knows they do not physically have to deal with the husband most of the time. And how should this end? The basis for the comments is not wanting to see anybody get burnt! I do stupid things daily. Still have to try and see possible causes or the problem never gets corrected. Not saying this is perfect. One of many valid ideas: Find one with an education and a job. Learned this from a foreigner. Went to a business park, had coffee, met someone, eventuallt married. Problems: always! Scamming: 0. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These people are generally better educated and are helping themselves. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love her dearly....and I am very concerned as to what will happen to her during all of this. Maybe she has no idea about what has been happening over the length of time, all she knows is that who ever she called you was sending goodies over to care for her, but now she maybe confused that the goodies have stopped. Hopefully none of this will bother the child . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean, but isn't it not so much the meaning of honesty that varies, rather the importance of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met a guy who was one of the "big shots" in a certain city years ago. His wife was a teacher at a national high school and he was a self confessed ghost employee. Drove a big bike around town and people admired him, and looked up to him for being able to "get over" on the "man" Many poorer people here have the same mindset. That might be one of the reasons that a former Dictators family is worming their way back into political power. OK the city was Cavite City. 2003.

But it's not just here though - I'm sure in your country and 100% certain in mine that many/most people like to see the bad guy get one over on the system as long as it seems to be a victimless crime. As for surprising political successes - we don't need to look as far as the Philippines to see some strange choices for the top job! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
