Transactional Love

8 years ago

I like the term. In my experiences here Love is a commodity. It is a means to end not an ends to a means. While I do realize there are a few men here who have been fortunate to meet a great filipina I am looking at working with the NBI, private investigator and lawyers, I believe it to be the whole family involved including the Mother who lives in the U. S. Since the woman in question had the balls to follow me and bring her new fiance along on 11/02 and our wedding date was supposed to be 10/11 I see it as a reason to fully explore my options as someone who lives here versus the many who get screwed while living in other countries. It is impossible to get anything done when you are outside the country. May be the same living here but I think I , at least, owe it to myself to pursue it and these band of gypsy thieves who are very calculated, cunning and actually believe they have done nothing wrong. Through two experiences I understand how they think and how Filipino perceive it here. One person commented her that they think the exact opposite of the rest of the world here. I agree with that. And it touches all areas of life here.
Theft is theft whether you sent it of your own free will or not. If it didn't get spent as intended it is fraud
