Has my marriage been ruined by PMS (or rather by my inability to deal with it?)

I did debate it. But I had nothing more than a cell phone number, a first name and some text messages. Its been two years now, so I have nothing now. But at the time, dealing with my wife's adjustment to living in the USA was my priority. Didn't have much PTO available either after my wife's arrival, and that was going to be needed driving her to interviews.

My wife's first job, which she only had for three weeks was some factory work. The company hired through a temp agency, but everything was handled at the company she worked for. The temp company didn't bother sending a W2. When I contacted them about it, they said they don't bother to because so many of the people that work for them move. Hey buddy, its the fricken law, its not optional based on your opinion! I ran over to their office to pick it up personally, since the temp agency seemed pretty fly by night.

My wife took that job, partly because so many Filipina friends were saying Filipinas could only get jobs in factories or as housekeepers. No office work for Filipinas in our state. The difference was, many of those Filipinas didn't even have high school diplomas, let alone a college degree like my wife has. Still it was good my wife had the early chance to get out of house and feel she was contributing, she wasn't used to not working and it was driving her crazy with boredom.

You sir, should contact ICE anyway.

As a business owner myself, I cannot stand these types of companies.

My ex-wife mother worked for a care business for a while.

When she quit, they would not give her her last pay check.

It was not until I showed up at the door and told the receiptionist, you have 2 choices and I am giving you 30 min to make a decision.

1) Issue the paycheck now

or

2) I was dragging the owner out in the parking lot and beating his braines out.

It's funny how a computer can work so fast.

Agreed, My bad.

My bad too for believing that the house she said she owned and built for $25,000 + was funded by a game shop in a mall--the shop was about 3 square meters. I'm sure that the deed is in the name of her sister.

I never met the sister in Az, I met all the other family. I figured in time we'd visit. There seemed no rush.

Dumb me...that's exactly the way that I'm feeling.

Don't feel dumb. I've been had by worse. What you'll find is that these people are really careful about keeping things like the sister's name and contact information from you, by evading and diverting when necessary. They have an uncanny ability to head you off if it looks like you are headed towards discovering something they don't want you to find. So it takes concerted effort and experience to deal with them.
