From what I have seen, many wives become fulfilled when they have a child and they are happier making the marriage more stable.
A 10kg sack of Jasmine rice, some dried fish, enough TKMAXX'es and Debenhams in the area and peace, happiness, home bliss are secured...........
My suggestion would be to try and find another brit/phil couple you can meet. Once the connection is made the FB friends will flood in and she will find her community. I can understand the lack of confidence and its a big thing to relocate your life and leave your comfort zone. Show empathy and if that doesn't work... maybe a dog
Hi all, Thank you once again for the kind support and advice. You guys and gals are great I just wanted to check-in, in case you were concerned I'd been murdered The afternoon after she'd called me, I returned home and she was back to her normal self. But very, very clingy and affectionate. She even looked me in the eyes and said, "Baby I've missed you so much". It really was like even she felt she'd been absent for 2 days! So, yeah, I don't think [she believed] I did anything wrong, I am now thinking it's tampo (but cause still unknown) or PMDD (or just very bad PMS). Hopefully I am better equipped for the next episode (which I honestly feel I will be). Oh, and to answer someone's question from earlier, my wife is currently 32 and I'm 41.
A lot of what you write sounds very similar to what happens in my house. Well, apart from the tampo bit. Yeah she loses her rag from time to time (justified when I wind her up if truth be told) but never a prolonged unhappy period. The closest we got to that was when she was looking at face cream and I remarked that Olay was for people like my grandmother. She stormed off in a huff and I had to spend a few hours looking for her in Manchester. I do get concerned sometimes that Miss R is too inactive and solitary here. We have met some local Filipinos but not a huge account. She simply doesn't want to meet many of them for a 2nd time. Would recommend local cooking classes (or something else that might interest her like swimming, aerobics etc). Maybe start YouTube blogging which has become Miss R's hobby this year. Oh and a dog. I see the dog has been mentioned a couple of times and it really is a good idea. I never liked little yappy dogs before, but little Trisha is now my favourite thing in the whole world. I think me and Miss R both love her more than we love each other.
Trisha often shares the same bed as us. It is a world apart from a dog's life in the Philippines where it would live outside, constantly shooed away by the locals and scavenging on rice and chicken bone leftovers. A regular laughing point here is that chicken feet and other delicious goodies are given to the dogs rather than being saved for the nephew's birthday celebrations.
i recall reading on here that a filipina wife could make a meal out of chicked wings , claws and head...and throw the rest away.
Dog,Philippines was renown for eating dog,still goes on a lot but isn't publicised,my dog vanished,rumours came back that some drunks had eaten him.
Did you stay with Ana? Or did you break up i hear alot of story's about Filipinos being gambling addicts.. Sorry I ain't being rude I go through this now and again
