Know when a Filipina loves, she loves deeply; she protects that love intensely and with a fever.

That is so true. I am half-Filipino, and I know that is true.

I am a "YES MAM" kind of guy. I am the peacemaker. If she throws the pillow I pick up and give it back to her *cute*. Got it love that lady when she has an angry face. *YUMMY*

:reading:

My fiance thinks it's cute when I'm mad. :unsure:

Maybe it's all Asians, because my fiance is from Thailand, and when he's mad he won't talk.

Currently.... they have issued Ice the incorrect GC and we have tried 4 times to fix it. First time they had us send it to the incorrect address. Second time they said we used an expired form, which was the form they gave us. Third time was "oh sorry we lost the last page, can you send it again?." Fourth time is the gov is shut down. Will this ever be corrected in time for Ice to get the permanent GC? Stay tuned to find out. T_T

There is no right or corect answer but for me there are the factors that needs to be consider being husband and wife:

1. You LOVE your husband/wife that's why you marry her/him

2. Because you marry him/her regardles of what culture and tradition she/he may have you MUST understand each other

3. Because you UNDERSTAND each other, you should have RESPECT to each other

4. Because you have RESPECT to each you should be HONEST with one another

There is no such thing as a perfect relationship, but if you have those 4 factors there will be SUCCESS in your relationship as husband and wife.

Sabi ng Nanay at Tatay ko pag nag-aaway ang mag asawa, wag palipasin ang isang araw ng hindi na reresolba, ang problema ay nareresolba bago bago matulog at pag na resolba ang problema, kayong mag asawa ay matutulog ng mahimbing, may ngiti sa labi at magkayakap

Translate: According to my Mom and Dad if husband and wife had a fight, do not pass a day not resolving the problem, resolve the problem before bedtime and that resolving the problem, husband and wife will have a deep sleep, smile on their face and hugging each other.

Well, I'm bringing this topic coz I am curious if how do you act and handle some of your situation when you are in the middle of a heating arguement with your spouse just because of his comment or act about something, that for you it was insulting and offensive and hurt your ego and filipina your pride. But according to them.. they didn't say anything like that or didn't mean it that way. But anyway, other than that... there still some fights here and there no matter how we all tried to avoid it. How do you handle it when you are very emotionally hurt by him ? Specially that they have a law here about domestic violence :lol: .

For almost 3 years of marriage I think I learned a bit of how to control my self not to be angry, coz it is more harder for me to control my self when I'm already angry :blush: . there will be a toilet paper, spatula or a pillow flying across the room if I'm already in that point. Sometimes there still some arm pinching and kicking him out of bed when he still chose to sleep in the same bed with me. Imbarassing.

How some of you do handle your fights ? Are you one of those who easy to let go and keep it to your self or you are the type of person that have a guts to say to your husband the "How dare you to talk to me like that" ! lol.

No judgement here please.... we are all human and nobody is perfect. Not even a relationship :D .

My hubby hates any tampo coming from me. He likes to discuss things when there is an issue or when I get mad or upset about something. Of course, I usually do the opposite which is to pout and not talk to him for a while. Childish? Yes. He has never felt the impact of a flying kaldero or tsinelas though so at least in that regard, he is extremely lucky. Being the awesome hubby that he is though my husband usually tries to cajole me out of my bad temper. It always works especially since he readily accepts that he gets to be blamed for everything. headbonk.gif When you have someone who has an attitude like that, pouting for long is a waste of energy. So we rarely get into skirmishes. luv.gif I have been known to lay on the guilt trip like sleeping on the floor. So much more visually disturbing. devil.gif

Oh my gosh, the dreaded silent treatment. That is the worst thing of anything my wife could do to me, and she does it. No shouting. No angry words. Only the silence.... That hurts worse than anything. And it leaves me very confused when I am not sure what it is exactly that she is mad about. Sometimes she is quiet and I just asume there is something wrong, and she gets tired of me asking, and keeps saying she is just tired, but I still think something is wrong and I cant figure it out and only want things to be better.

Silence is Golden.

This is a good example of why stereotyping is dangerous. My fiancee gives anything but the silent treatment -- her anger is explosive and often even in public. As embarrassing as this is, it is something I have to overcome and simply a part of her overall personality. Of course she is much different then the stereotypical Filipina some are portrait. Because she is well educated she doesn't just sit back and let me get away with the 'typical' American things that I do with her. Her anger can explode for the smallest of infractions but she does recognize her faults (as well as mine). These are the things that you simply get to work on during marriage. Compromises!
