Never Trust A Filipina

7 years ago

This sage advise was given to me by a 73 year old Filipina in Canada when I began dating my wife. I was so sure my wife was a good woman and would not cheat or lie. Our courtship was beautiful. After our marriage and my investment of $40,000 Canadian in our home and the building of a second house for $37,000 (all debt), she has cheated on me once. I intercepted 2 other attempts to cheat on me by figuring out her password to her iPhone. She has also destroyed tablets, headphones, cell phones, keyboards, legal records, drapes, windows, and antique map worth over $500, thrown me out of our home in the Philippines twice resulting in plane reservation charges of $587 added to previous reservation changes of about the same. She has smeared my reputation on Facebook. She has set me up by telling a young woman that I am annulling our marriage so she could marry me and then photographing the two of us. I fended her off. There have also been very special loving periods. I am turning 73 and have few opportunities left to attain the good life and happiness before I hit the ditch. Recently, I exposed another attempted affair where she invited a Westerner to meet with her in Davao after communicating loving messages to him for the month of December. I caught his alert saying "YOU ARE MY WOMAN". I am tired of the drama psycho and damage. I'm ready to throw in the towel. There is still love in me for her, but I get only negativity in return. Maybe she will come out of it again. I'm giving it a week. I know some of you guys have lucked out with good women here. But it is a minefield out there. I will still live here one way or another, but never get married again. So remember this: Never Trust a Filipina!
