Unfortunatly the feeding frenzy is becoming too common and I doubt that many can even find the orginal message, a lot of good advice gets lost in all the ramblings. I argree with you about filipinas, but I still haven't met many that openingly would discuss their private lifes, especiallly not on an open forum.
Jeff, you should have seen the response when I said I didn't want to mix with filipinas in the UK, and rather than wasting time trying to recreate the Philippines, you should help your lady adjust to the new country.I was joking on the first piont but do feel that many husbands don't really help their wifes adjust, even to the point on making/keeping them dependant, some guys even defended the view on not helping your lady improve her english!A clever method of control?
