hehe, my first nickname was "that white guy" then it morphed into dardar... I have idea what exactly it is now.... maybe "moondoggie" .... but whatever it is, I don't mind it. NOT having a nickname with my wife's family and friends disturbs me more.... But I have yet to meet any filipino or Filipina even in america who is part filipino who does not have a nickname. the worst part is when you get several filipinas together with the SAME nickname.....

Years back, I had this american ex bf (daughter of my child) and we were together in Cebu. One main thing our relationship didn't work out because he always see the bad things, complains and insult. I mean, most of what he said was true coz that's what he saw but the thing was RESPECT. I am a filipino and I know how bad it is, how people live in squatters area, etc. But one thing I learned when I moved to Thailand, if you go to other country, have/show respect. We all have different cultures, lives, attitudes, etc so we can't judge everybody like the same.

He always say how poor filipinos are, cheap, monkeys or whatever he likes calling it, it hurts and bothers me coz I am a filipino. When I got pregnant he left. I asked for child support and he tells me why not let my cheap parents take care of us. First, why would my parents do that, where they there at the time we made the baby? I worked hard for me and my daughter to live. At times I ask help from him, he gives but he tells so much ####... so everytime I had this fight conversation with him, I told him... well, guess you are the cheapest stupidest worst person.. you complain how things are in Philippines and your blood your daughter, you wanted her to live a life like that (we are not poor, we are not rich). He always say how good things are in US but he never even wanted to help to get her a US passport coz it COST MUCH, he can't even spend 100 or 200 dollars for her daughter, how cheap is that?

Most americans or wherever they are from may have bad experience with filipinos, we (some) filipinos too. We all have different stories here. There's just one thing, RESPECT. You wanted to marry a filipina, try to be open-minded, know what you are getting. if you love the person, accept everything. why marry someone then if you have all this issues coming through your mind.

I'm married now, he came to Thailand and not to Philippines. He met my parents online and maybe a year or 2, will visit Philippines. Everytime we had to go somewhere, I tell him stories about Philippines specially, roads, food, traffic, and people. I show him how I like to eat and everything I can show that he could atleast expect and tell him Im worried maybe you won't survive in Philippines lol (that was just a joke). He tells me, it doesn't matter. All he cares is us together, our family and meeting my parents. If we are happy and safe, then there's nothing to worry about.

Do I make sense here?

Since you asked, this part didn't :)

"Years back, I had this american ex bf (daughter of my child)"

Guess you haven't had enough practice reading Filipanaeese English yet? :rofl: That different sentence structure can make some real strange typos at times as they're bouncing between thinking in one language and writing in another.
