Sending money to your wife's family for hospital expenses

[tallcoolone 102]

How about the men? Do they view it as a business arrangement or an act of love?

Marriage is both and act of love and business arrangement.

I wouldn't marry a person nor get in business with a person who : Lies, Cheat, Steals, Does Drugs, Has poor moral character, Can't handle money, Doesn't want to work, etc.......

While some people in here have offered some good advice, what many are forgetting is that I love my wife. After reading many of the responses, I get the impression that many of you view bringing a wife over from the Philippines is more a business arrangement than an act of love between the man & woman. If I didn't love my wife and simply viewed it as a business arrangement, I would have had her sent back to the Philippines well over a year ago.

What you're overlooking is the fact that manipulation of this scale is nothing short of an act of war.

Who declares war on someone they love?

She has declared war on you, what does that say?

@Gilles.......Words are cheap. With your latest post, the only person you are distracting from the truth is yourself. Why do you still refuse to acknowledge your dysfunctional behavior?

One of the purposes of the marriage immigration processes is to stop such business arrangements.

Geezzz... She is better off without you. I dont know what is your financial status but for a mere 1000 dollars,you want to get your share out of it.

With your attitude. She would have a better life if you just sent her packing back to the Philippines. If you think you are helping her... think again.

Get a mirror and look hard at yourself. And see who you really are.

Fascinating for its manipulative content.

You have the false dichotomy between "business arrangement vs Act of Love" in the first place. Yours looks more like war or mutual extortion. So there's a third version right there. But you are projecting the insinuation that others treat their wives as mere commoddities because ironically we treat them as team members and view marriage as mutual cooperation.

Furthermore marriage is definitely a legally binding contract so that much is a tautology, and the contract absolutely does include both sex and economics. In the muslim societies they actually sign both an economic marriage contract, before the wedding, and the civil contract for the government.

In western societies it is often pretended that since everyone is more or less rich relative to the rest of the world that relationships have nothing to do with economic motives. Except you never see these faux princesses marrying bums begging on streetcorners, or even deigning to lower themselves by speaking to them.

If any of us men start laying around on our butts instead of contributing to the marriage in either money or other weight-pulling then our wives are well-advised to leave us for someone who will.

The irony meter is under severe stress. Your theme throughout this whole odyssey has been money. So don't be pointing the finger at others as if it is they who are all about money. It matters. But sheesh, I'm not marrying anyone who got hit with the ugly stick. I want the sporting model, not miss gargantua. She has to think of us as a team. Fit my character. And have a good bass boat.

The truth about me is I am no better than the next guy. Everyone does something better than me.

That Filipino pigeon language is hard to understand or decipher, All I got was I carry my own chair, and some nonsense about air is heavy and tornado in Texas

I suggest trying to learn English, since more than likely you will need it in USA and English come in real handy in Philippines, I was under the impression that most people could speak or write English in PI, unless you never went to school..........
