tomaw 1,341 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) I am not going to go through and read all of the advice others have given you, because I know what they have told you. I will add that, apparently, you did not spend much time actually reading threads on this site PRIOR to visiting the Philippines for the first time. In your best interest, I will tell you this. File for divorce and dump her. She is no good, without question, for even stating such a thing as "you are a bad provider". If she were not a scammer before (probably was), she has never even seen a job that paid her $350 USD per month, in her life. ............. I finaly got my wife's opinion on this. She was shocked that she'd refuse $350 a month! Her distain for this girl was even stronger than the guys comments. She said this girl and her family are all very bad people and make other Fipinos look bad as well. Edited March 12, 2013 by tomaw 3 Link to post Share on other sites
tomaw 1,341 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I know if I had to live on that amount--I sure as hell would not be out blowing my money on the bull crap that so many filipinos do. I would rather have my money to feed my family tomorrow than to blow it on booze and parties today !!! wouldn't anyone who thinks rationally ???? ................ ''IF'' ......? Also if you are at all famliar with this forum you wil know that a lot of expats can be just as irratioal. Link to post Share on other sites

Well I didn't raise 2.5 kids alone with very little help by making dumb decisions with the money --- I see guys posting their budgets living in the Philippines that are more than the budget I allow myself here in the states I had boats--jet ski's-ATVs for my kids as they grew up--they never wanted for anything and sure never missed a meals cuz daddy was out blowing the money at the bar It's called priorities Edited March 12, 2013 by KID 2 Link to post Share on other sites

You're right about the expat's budgets. Some are rediclulas. My wife's family lives on about $400 a month. They don't booz and party. Seldom do they ask us for help You can't compare your life with the average Filipino. How many Filipinos buy jet skis for their kids? Link to post Share on other sites

Thelandofku-an 349 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 remember how many filipinoes live in a culture of "borrowing" the same 50 peso's goes around the barangay 100 times a month and never actually gets paid back Same as the hammer, the saw, the ladder... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
rogo 0 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 So if you were married at the last half of February, it's more than possible all your marriage documents are still in the local barangay/municipal offices and there is 99.5% chance they are still working in paper and not computer. It would be reasonably easy and inexpensive to organise to have those papers destroyed before they were sent on to the NSO. This would save years of heartache and massive expense getting an annulment. Get back there or find a friend to visit the municipal and have the documents destroyed and get it happening quickly.
