Ron and Rhea

Hey Peter_Pan, your thoughts are offensive to me as I am older than my fiance, I am 51 and she's 27....I do not have a saggy butt, however I do take care of myself and train at a gym. I've seen many guys quite a bit older than me walking around in the shower and their buttocks are sublime, haha...I've also seen big fat #### younger guys, who's asses look like 50lbs of chewed bubblegum, so what?
I am not beyond some assistance from Dr. Levitra, however, again, I know plenty of guys half my age who also partake when they feel the need.
I think the point is your opinion is just that, your opinion, it means jack to me....Rlogan gave you some logic you could not come back at....I can feel a bit of jealousy in your posts, why hate, let people live their lives and mind your own 'bidnezz'.....

My fiance is a lot younger than me, better educated than me...she has a 4 year degree, vs 2 for me, and she is exploring med school when she arrives here. She is also a RN, very beautiful and is not desperate for me or any man. She and I have many common interests and both enjoy life to the fullest, our age diff is just numerical.
That said, I take offense to Enigma's post and find it insulting....I will say that I have found, in most instances, people with such a narrow minded opinion are usually older women, or old guys who can't get a younger woman, or are with an older woman and are a bit jealous...but thats my 2cents.
IMO, live and let live, everyone else can bite me.

can anyone help us here pls....

You, being a Filipino, probably would understand that there is a certain amount of "pride" towards returning after a failed relationship abroad. I've been happily married to my Filipina wife for over 6 years now. We have two beautiful little boys and are both working towards a positive future. However, according to my wife, she understands completely the "pride" thing.
Not to judge you, but my wife says it is VERY common in the Philippines for family and friends to gossip and be nosey about the person who traveled abroad. It's all too common for someone like my wife's friend here to go home to the Philippines to not only struggle at getting her life back, but having to deal with the criticism of others. Yes, we Americans are not perfect. We tend to be nosey with the people around us as well, but for the most part, we keep our personal feelings to ourselves or between close friends or loved ones. It is, however, common for other Filipinos to confront one another and belittle someone who "failed" in an American marriage, or any other foreign country for that matter. It's almost not worth going home to the Philippines to have to deal with the "BS" of gossip on a failed relationship along with the other struggles she'd have to deal with. To each their own, I guess.
For the people who keep asking why, ask yourself the same question? If you gave up almost everything, as our friend did, would it be easy for you to piece things back together? Remember, put yourselves in her shoes..... It may be easy for one person to hop a plane and pretend their experience didn't happen, but it's not so easy for others. Why not try to make it work here, since she is already here? Maybe she can't get a teaching job here in the US, but being an educated person from the Philippines who speaks nearly fluent Englsih, I think it's an exaggeration to say she'd be working in a dead end job making minimum wage. Just my opinion though. All I know is if this happened to any other close friend or family member of mine, I'm going to do everything I can to help that person while they are still here legally.

Wow. thats so great, three girls. They must be very pretty.
Theyre so blessed to have you as their dad.

One of the things that always worries me is that SOME people believe they "own" a foreign spouse, simply because they sponsored the immigration process. This is so horribly wrong, and it opens up many avenues for exploitation and abuse of immigrants who don't know the law or their rights within the law, and it keeps them trapped in abusive situations.

Anyone who immigrates has the right to be happy, to be safe from abuse and persecution, whether it comes in the form of a physical beating or emotional tyranny. Marriage should be about love, respect and mutual happiness.

You're an adult, you have taken the time to find out your options and sought clarification here. You know what to do and don't need a lecture, but please support your mother and let her know what HER options are.

Even if she's on a 2 year conditional card, if she gets a divorce she can remove conditions herself. The only proof needed is that the marriage was entered into in good faith. Do not let her be kept in an unhappy situation because she (wrongly) fears deportation.

Hopefully things will get better for your family.

I agree with Gowon....my wife self adjusted herself after her divorce. She came to America, got married. Got her green card....the marriage didn't work out, as 56% of marriages in the US don't work out. She divorced him. He screemed fraud, etc, threatened to kick her out of country etc, (this was before I met her)....she educated herself and learned after they married he could not deport her, as he threatened. In fact the husband or fiance has no authority over their spouses or spouses to be. The only control they have is to NOT marry them within the 90 day period...then immigration is the one that takes care of her going back to her native country.
She can self petition...she will have to prove they ENTERED the marriage in good faith, ie joint bills, etc....just because ones marriage falls apart doesn't mean FRUAD as so many love to say....The FRAUD can actually be the husband who pretends to be a good guy but in reality is a doucher.

I hear you....hahaha, so true.

I am matured enough to understand that there will be differing viewpoints.
Thanks for correctly spelling my username by the way, it's only a 5 letter word and I don't understand why some have problem with such a simple name.

'Where I can find another one'....after reading that I jumped off the bay bridge. I'm thinking the change you seek may have to start within yourself my friend...change how you see people and the world, then it will change for the better.

the grandfather should have an SPA executed by the child's mother.

Read like you only need to send a photo copy of the bio pages of Rhea's passport.

Yes, one can assume that or traveling within the PI. Or it could be just for ID purpose only.

You know, just playing devils advocate...as the old saying goes, there are three sides to every story, yours, theirs and the truth. Somewhere in the middle is the truth.

Well guys...Diana will be flying to start our new life in 6 days...will be here next friday....whooo hooo
Its been a loooong procedure, but this forum and the fine people on here, (well except for one dork)...made the trip much easier and cheaper than using a lawyer.

Awww, his loss, you will find someone and it will be even a better situation for you...things happen as they are meant to happen. You will turn out fine my friend. God Bless.

You've come to the right place, start with the K1 flow guide and such, lots of great help on here.

Modern tattoo ink, some colors do contain oxides and such, however it doesn't enter ones bloodstream, lol...it goes into the dermis layer of the skin...oh and I would not worry about setting off metal detectors at airports, I work for a commercial airline and fly all the time, and you can see I have many tattoo's and not only have I not heard of this worry before today, I've not had any alarms going off....ahahha, too funny what people think

No worries on the spelling, there were a few, ironically the use of the word, 'to' to explain that you were 'too' tired, was one, haha...just messing with you...Are you a Marine? Noticed your 'signature', I am one.
But I digress.....
I think your post contains a lot of feelings from you Dex. I know you love your wife and want her to get out and become more acclimated, and in time she will. You have provided the path for her, however she has to be willing to walk it.
As for the invite to KC, maybe your wife feels awkward now that the other Filipina isn't going? I assume the other gals are all Caucasians...? Maybe she feels awkward or uncomfortable at this stage of her being here to go off to another state doing a GNO, 'girls night out'...? Maybe it would help if you pictured yourself in the Philippines, with the same thing going on....? Seeing from her eyes?
Thats just my opinion Dex, you seem to have a loving relationship, so it is just a bump in the road, it will work out. Maybe you can explain to your friends why your wife doesn't want to go.
Good luck.
