From what I've been told from other married guys at work, this isn't a filipina-only trait. Most of the guys learn to live with it and their training seems to be mostly complete within the first two years of marriage; the other group of guys who are divorced, never successfully completed the training process.

first of all, Guys, always remember that you can't mistreat someone that you love so much.

Just to share, the greatest tampo I ever had with My Mahal is that he ask me for Pre-Nup. As for a filipina, it was so hurting, Would you guys agree with me?... I had tampo running in my veins for a day and a half, I couldn't eat or do anything productive just staying hurt. but hey, I just cant stop checking him once in a while. we never had immature times that I dont answer his message or stop talking to him, Why? because though you were hurt, YOU STILL LOVE THE PERSON that mad yourself whole like a puzzle. You know, that can be a strong ground to even broke with him but I didn't. I love the person.

talking about that tampo thang, tampo is natural, but if you feel like you're being left around unsolved, try to do the best thing that you think you can, after all, is that someone still doesn't seem to respond, Hey!!! I think it's time to take care of yourself too from falling. :yes:

:huh: Tampo is a unique reoccurring syndrome that severely affects 99.9% of Filipinas. :blink: This syndrome requires intense specialized treatment. :wacko: Most folks call them loony bins or crazy houses. :bonk: However, it's a sanctuary for the temporarily mentally unstable. :yes:

LMAO!

when i'am in tampo it just take 1day.

just keep calling and sending message to your fiancee. i think your fiancee want to see how you make suyo to her... i think better you gave a handwritten letter than to offline message its more touched diba.

and if still not working ask her and gave a deadline to talk to you.... because if she love you she dont want you angry

Tampo may last for a long time until after the issue was confronted and settled..

Your girl may be thinking things for herself first before wanting to try to talk to you.. and it may last depending on the issues she had to resolve with herself first. I know coz sometimes, that's what I prefer to do... I would like to think things for myself first before trying to confront my love, so i can tell where i was at fault or if it's my love's at fault. Also it makes me clear my mind and calm myself becoz i know if im still in Tampo i can say things that may hurt him more and thus end up making things worse. But definitely, i make sure that when everything's ok, i talk to my love and tell him everything, how i felt, where and how i was hurt- definitely if someone's tampo there's hurt there somewhere, that's what we work on.

just keep trying making peace with her, be patient and do some sweet things... im sure one way or another your sweet gestures will come to her.

My tampo usually last for hours mainly coz we're too far from each other. At times my fiance and I would just laugh about my tampo coz it was really funny and stupid in the first place. And yes, it is a childish way but in reality tampo is a pinay's way of telling you that she is hurting. Most pinays are not used to confronting you if they feel hurt or when something is bothering them. Unlike most westerners who are very vocal...not many pinays are like that. :no: It's one of the many cultural differences that you'll deal with. In due time, it's either you'll get used to it or she'll learn to be more vocal. My fiance knows if I have tampo or not. He says he can see it in my eyebrow which I am not aware of. :huh:

Nobody here knows the true reason why she had tampo to you. Honestly, I won't call it tampo if she has not answered your many attempts to call and leave messages and last for many days. If she won't answer your calls or messages, try to explain to her on email. Tampo don't last for more than 2 days. It would be best to stop your many attempts to call her. Try to give her her space. You have done your very best to talk to her and try to work the indifference. Resolving a problem is a two-way street. You can't resolve the problem on your own. She needs to communicate with you as well.

Good luck and hope you guys will be ok soon.
