Wow. Thank you, paidplayed, for your candid account of the ordeal you've been through. I hope that in time your heart will heal and you'll be able to share it with someone who really values YOU and not just your bank account. It seems to me like you really have your head screwed on the right way around and I wish you all the best for your future.

Perhaps there is an agenda on the part of the alien; perhaps there is not. You say you supported her for 10 months prior to her arrival. Is it posible that she was lead to believe that this would co

I second the motion sasha! This woman for sure has her own agenda for being with you. For me, as long as the husband is providing food for the table and providing for the needs at home - that should be enough. Money for shopping is just a bonus. Spending the "discretionary" if I understood the term instantly is a clear indication that she has some other hidden expenses. She is very lucky because the OP is a generous person and she should not take advantage of that. If you buy her a car and she learns her way around, that would lead to a more expensive lifestyle. Husband and wife should be transparent when it comes to expenses. At least that's why I've learned from my parents.

I love the Philippine woman!!!!!!!!
