Yeah... But gone were the jovial banters and welcoming atmosphere. There used to be some games that the members create to get to know other members who were active on the blogs and forums. I even met a few filipina women here.
I remember as well that I used to have a crush on a guy named "MADDOG69" if I'm not mistaken.
Sure! Charm and functionality are not main reasons that I will move to another country for. And to be completely honest, I do not appreciate his approach.
"If along with the couple there is a child its twice as hard." Yes! Exactly why I would prefer for both parents to be in unity on most things. As I have already explained.
Your stand on religion is altogether a different subject. I was raised a catholic. And still am. But I am not blind to what the catholic leaders have done. I am not deaf to may crimes that were committed in the name of religion. But it is not the religion I am loyal to, I am loyal to God. And I believe that Catholicism (removing all the bad apples in it) is the best way to form a relationship with God.
In raising a child? it is important that both parents are similar in core values. Religion shapes someone's core values in major ways. So it is important that the parents are not contradicting in what they teach their children. Say for example, I get married to muslim, I am a catholic. I will bring my children to church on sundays and teach them that Jesus is God and all other controversial doctrines the Catholic church teaches. Suerely, my muslim husband will not just listen while he thinks his kids are being taught what in his belief will be "wrong doctrines?" The kids will be confused. And confused kids do not grow to be confident and stable adults (most of the time).
If both husband and wife are in unison in core values, then, adjustment will be a little less difficult. you can both work on other things. like finances and geography, and other household responsibilities.
There's been debates about this. The church teaches that humans are innately bad, but because of their fear of God and by God's grace, they strive to be good. (Or something like that) I believe that humankind is not lost yet, on the verge, but not completely.
Religion is a personal thing, sure but, it shapes an individual so much that it affects all of their ways and therefore relationships. And personally for me, and I say this to all the guys I've dated, that I will raise my children to be Catholics. So I guess, a Catholic partner would be imperative.
I don't plan to stay in the Philippines for many many years. I'd go for vacations there, but I won't settle to raise a family there. I mean, because i mainly do not see myself working there anytime soon.
I blame no one for the things that didn’t work in my last relationship. I cannot blame him for being unready. We were just mismatched. And NOT MEANT TO BE.
The 2 become 1 is what I aspire to have. Some people achieve it, some don’t. I can only keep wishing for now.
It all depends on both. Sure. Only the 2 people in the relationship know if the relationship is for the long haul. Let’s take my last relationship for example. For me, i was ready to work for the relationship, to make it work, but my ex was just not ready for it. Feelings were there, but i felt alone even when I wasn’t supposed to be. So yeah, my hard work for the relationship isn’t enough for both of us. It was tiring.
And you’re right, most relationships now do not have the foundation of “2 become 1” principle of the old days. Its the hyperindependence of both people that both partners are on the look out for the other, with one foot is out the window ready to jump off for the slightest mistake.
I cannot speak for all women. But I never get into a relationship thinking that it will be temporary. I think that’s me being naive in other’s perspective.
That information is correct. Many filipinas have taken on being the breadwinner. Im not saying all filipino men are weak, but many are. Many are irresponsible so the women ends up separating from their children’s father and choose to work abroad to afford raising their children. Its sad, but that’s life. We fight to live.
Will you be able to share to me what my hook and net would be? I’m really charming and fun to talk with in person. Im not a pushover. I can say that I can converse on various subjects just fine. I’m not very pretty, but I think that my looks isn’t disdainful either.
Exactly! so I focus on myself. Trying to give myself the time to heal from all the issues I picked up along the way. If love comes, I'm ready, if not, I'm enjoying being alone.
It wasn’t good enough for if one of you feels lonely while being in a relationship, it isn’t good enough. So, you’re right. I always TRY to communicate my needs in a matured way. However, it seems that he wasn’t ready for anything like that. So yes, i had to let it go.
I agree with this. Because the truth is, we always come back to the ones where we felt most loved and love in return. But to be received back is a different story altogether.
My roommate and I were just talking about this at lunchtime. I asked her opinion about my ex coming back. She's got wisdom, so I share to her. And she just told me the same thing. She said, it's difficult usually to let go the ones you truly love, but if it really was love between you, then he will come back. just have to trust that. However, maybe I'm just too stubborn, I asked, If it really was love, then why did we have to let go in the first place?
At least 1 pair per month gives me a month-long satisfaction. To relieve me if my emotional stress, Morgan thank you. So far no long term effects. I hope 2022 would be more gentle with me.
I like reading someone's profile before I reply to see at surface value if there might be some similarities we can start talking about. And in my profile the age of people I am interested in is specified. Maybe they don't read, and just look at pictures. And no matter what I put on the profile statements, it will always be subjected to interpretations of the rreaders, so, I cannot control that really.
