TrixieStep, You are so right! I think what all of here on VJ have in common is the fact that we have to go through so much to be with the one we love. Not just a long distance relationship and all of the issues that go along with that, but this cumbersome and lengthy immigration process.
Many people have asked my why couldn't I find someone in my own country. I wasn't looking to fall in love with someone from the other side of the planet, it just happened. It certainly would have been easier if the person I fell in love with was already here but that wasn't the case. The most important thing is that I found someone who wants the same things out of life that I do and wants to build a future with me.. I think all of us can relate to that. While this process is long and trying, having my true love eventually here with me makes it all worth the wait. Life is good!

TylerMaria, please fill in your timeline so we all know where you are in the process. Congratulations again.

Some real dumbasses on here, still, and and prolly always will be. Sorry, Charles, but it's true.
The Philippines is a MATRIARCHAL society. Look that up, read it, and understand it before you think they are a subservient group of women. Some may be, but most aren't. My wife isn't. And I don't know very many who are.
But dedicated, loving, and jealous? Yes. Mine is. And most I know are. Also, harder working than most of the men in their society.
Why am I with mine? What attracted me? First, it was the glance across a crowded room. Then a conversation. Then a kiss I remembered for months afterwards, though it wasn't a sexual kiss at all. But very sensual. She kissed my core. And then there's the scent... my wife doesn't seem to understand, but her smell without perfume draws me to her like no woman before.
Lots of things. The beauty. The hair. The brown eyes that can be at once so full of love, and yet drip venom. It's not about a race, nor a country. I wasn't looking for love when I found my Pinay. But I'm thankful that our paths crossed, and very glad she saw something in me worth keeping. She's no better than a woman from any other country, except.... she loves ME. And that makes her one of a kind.
