I'm divorced, but waiting 21 years to remarry. I promised God that I'd stick by my wife I have now as long as she didn't cheat, she was quite naughty, but never cheated. She is also more focused on her family in the Philippines than she is on Us, but I love her and I'm keeping my promise to God. There won't be a third wife, I'll just get a GF if something happens to us. However, I can't make babies and have no STDs...
Currently, the Philippines has no divorce, only a long annulment process, but they will let divorced people marry a Filipina. Not sure if a Filipina can divorce in another country and then be re-married...
Other than for religion, there is no benefit for a man to be married... Its not hard to find someone to cook and clean if like 75% of the time the man pays the majority of the bills.
If my wife died or divorced me, I'd get a friend-with-benefits relationship going in the Philippines. I take pride in the fact I never cheated on my wives or GF...
No offense but your current marriage seems like an odd arrangement with a mail order bride but if it works for you so be it. It appears you like to have the upper hand, it seems controlling.We're coming up on our 39th anniversary, ours was a one night stand that's lasted nearly 4 decades.We are equal partners in nearly all decisions we make as a couple. Religion has nothing to do with it.
Hunh? You read a LOT into what I said and don't denigrate my wife as a mail-order bride... We met online and she was working for a very rich Saudi Family who were good to her. She is a licensed Midwife in the Philippines and was working as a private nurse for an asthmatic child. The family she worked for had their own Jet, they took her and all their staff to Greece, Paris, London, If anything I was the mail-order husband.
The upper hand? My wife and I keep our finances separate and I pay 2/3rds of our House Bills, along with half the food etc... even though she earns more than I do. That allows her the ability to indulge her adult family by supporting them even though they don't work. Why is that ok with me? Because I am ok with it for the sake of the children in the family. I paid to add on and finish most of our house in the Bukid, and took fucking diaper showers with caught rainwater, lived without the internet, electricity was often off for days at a time and hours at a time. Drinking water was hard to come by because the roads become unpassable quite often due to storms.
My wife was naughty in all the ways you would know about if you were married to a Filipina. I won't write about that here. I NEVER felt so tiny in my life than I did on our second day together in Manila and she did a bad thing. I have always put her first, while Filipino culture trains women to put their families first. I only moved us to a different Island when her POS son, cousins, and friends ate a starving dog I'd throw food to because she was nursing past weaning-aged puppies.
I could write a novel, but our relationship was a lot more established than your one-night stand. We video-chatted for hours and hours daily for months before I took a leap of faith and Trusted God to send me a good wife. He did and we are ok with a lot of cultural bumps along the way. I can count on less than 10 fingers I asked my wife to get me anything, and we have been married 13 years. I'm no angel, I believe in a balanced relationship. I don't berate her that I pay most of our bills in the USA very often, and she doesn't pester me too much about not helping in the house much.
Unlike many expats, I wan't having problems getting laid and went abroad because I was horny, I wanted to find a wife not someone who is Mrs. My life Is a Disaster Help me! Which is what I was getting. Filipinas aren't submissive like people think, but they can be practical and kind. That why so many make good nurses. My wife has been good to me too, sometimes she makes my lunch for work, and she makes in very nicely, If she gives me grapes they will be in a plastic container with a napkin to absorb any moisture. If she makes Tuna, she puts everything in separate containers so the friggen bread doesn't get soggy.
Normally I do my own laundry to help out, but sometimes she just does it if I haven't yet. I often have to do it before she does. The last 2 years and this coming Dec she will be taking a month Vacation in her country for a month. I pitch-in.
You read too much into what I wrote... Enjoy your day. Thanks, I needed to take my mind off all that happening in the world for a while.
No offense but you seem to denigrate your wife by calling her naughty, as though she's a child. My one night stand has 3 times longer than your marriage so we're solid, so I don't understand your swipe that you're more established. Weird comparison. As I said before if it works for the two that's all that matters.
Half of married people divorce. Half of the remaining people cannot afford to divorce for one reason or another.
Not trying to be a dick but maybe we let go of divorce as a motion.
