Perhaps they ended up marrying a cheating or abusive husband, finding themselves stuck in that situation for good. Some may not know how to financially support their kids, leading them to see marrying older foreign men as their best option. As you know, we are domesticated wives, but the evolving new generation is changing, with many not prioritizing kids and marriage and simply stating the facts.
In this country, the prevalence of such concepts is uncommon, primarily due to the governance led by Catholic priests who staunchly disapprove of them. Despite their lack of acceptance, one can intuitively sense and discern these changes by keenly observing societal shifts.
The belief that the number 4 is considered bad luck in some Asian cultures is known as tetraphobia. This superstition arises from the fact that the pronunciation of the number 4 in several East Asian languages, including Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, sounds similar to the word for "death" or is associated with negative connotations.
For example:
In Mandarin Chinese, the word for "four" (?, pinyin: sì) sounds very similar to the word for "death" (?, pinyin: si). In Japanese, the number 4 is pronounced as "shi," which is also a reading for the kanji character meaning "death" (?). In Korean, the number 4 is pronounced as "sa," which is associated with the word for "death" (?, sa).
I was 25 back then, and he was 27. He had been cheated on by women in Australia, so he decided to change the course of his love life. Sometimes, I ask him why he married a Filipina, and he just says, 'What's got to do with your nationality? I only dated you, so I don't know.' Later on, his friends started dating Filipinas after we got married. One friend even asked my husband for help, but we refused because we were afraid he might meet a gold digger. No, they are not losers, as some women might think. They are good-looking young men with high-paying jobs.
If divorce were to happen, I would be the first one in our bloodline to go through it, and I know my parents wouldn't be very happy. I'm still young, and I can't envision myself being with more than one person in my entire life.Maybe two, but not more than that. People tend to judge you (you know or call you names) if you sleep with others while still being married.I'm still contemplating dating, so I need some time
He isn't bad, but no man is perfect. I told him I was talking to a guy, and oh boy, I didn't expect him to panic and start dropping curse words like Eminem. It's complicated because we're still married, and there's no divorce in the Philippines. I was so in love that I overlooked the potential complications in the future. We met on CS, chatted for two years (without any video calls at that time), got engaged for a year, and the rest is history.
I have this friend who attended an acting class, and what he did was imitate and poke fun at them in their own accent. When he shared the story with us, we couldn't stop laughing.
No offense meant to this nationality, but if an Indian calls at home, especially when my father is alone, my husband always reminds him to end the call. At 77, he is too easily deceived.
