SO this really has nothing to do with anything BUT....
I was just reading a post today and I "liked" many responses within it and wanted to click the + to show that I agree although looks like after going a bit click happy I had reached the quota for the day. What's with that? Anyone know why there is a quota for this?

Based on the number of struggling Fil/Am relationships that air their laundry here, it appears that "love conquers all," is a lie. The romantic euphoria of believing that once you and your beloved are reunited, nothing will break the bond, quickly fades once the Filipina realizes she's left her entire existence behind, to be with a man she knows little about in comparison. In the context of her life, he's just a tiny blip on her timeline. This relationship was a huge gamble and when she sees her knight-in-shining-armor has some chinks, she starts to realize that she just bet the farm on a goose that doesn't actually lay golden eggs.
Meanwhile, the Kano stands his ground, feeling that his very core of existence is being questioned. Where are the sweet greetings that she once gave via the internet, that made your day? Why has that beautiful smile turned into a permanent scowl? You start to feel duped, cheated, the package didn't represent the content. Your nice-guy persona has been traded in for a spear and war paint.
So whaddya do? Send her back? Call immigration and report it as fraud? Or just maybe, you need to change yourself to make room for someone else. Changing doesn't mean you give up who you are, but you re-evaluate how you are, how you handle conflict, how you handle your emotions, how you communicate, how you deal with disappointment, because there's going to be a lot of disappointment in your marriage, no matter how perfect you imagined it would be.
