Hello TS! imo husband is british??jeje or unsa va?? never mind of what he thinks about our country u should be more worried kay the way he said those statements above, seems like he doesn't respect u. dba if you love someone, you should also love the people or the things that your partner loves and seriously, be careful pud TS kay bcn naa possibility mag pakita xa nimu aggresive behavior kay mura grave xa ka close minded.. but anyway, he's ur husband and u were united before God so show him love and respect ghapun who knows mausab xa??hehe.. and pray for him..prayer works

Both of you should have to adjust and accept... Did I say "both"... yes that's it.
Looks like "you can't" confront your husband... He are still belongs to a 3rd World Country... what he then expects?

hello everyone,

it's been a year i got married to a white guy,so far my life has changed,financially, and emotionally as a mother. I have a 6-month-old kid. we will be flying to my husband's place next month.

my agonies are:
as a foreigner,
1.my husband think our best tourism is the girls,and that's why he came here,then he met me
2.he doesn't want our kid to live here because streets are the playground of the children,basing to what he saw
3.our politicians are corrupt,he kept asking me where our 12% vat go
4. He laughs at small shanty houses in major roads,coz for him is terrible to see,
5. he never rides PAL,or sea ships of the philippines
6.that filipino vehicle drivers are boang,no clues and never give way to ambulance
7. hospitals are too far to be alive
8.that ambulance brings you dead on arrival
9. that majority of us lives in 2 dollars a day
10. that everybody wants to leave the country
11. that government agencies is money greedy,he can prove it,
12. that majority just eat rice and fish
13.that we fight with each other
14.that we do not produce anything,if we do,no quality
15.that we suppose to have a very beautiful place but the government is busy in corruption
16. homes here dont have grasses
17. and he wonders what country's future be
and more....all these are present in his mind,i cant change it,he shakes his head to my country
i cant take it anymore,its killing me,its hurting me,i have been defending my country eversince,i always give counter reasons to my husband,but it just makes him see me as no clue too!
now,im tired defending,in the end i realize my husband is true.im leaving philippines now,if i come back,that's becoz of my family.

The truth hurts.

But, your husband's an a**. My dad is white but he doesn't badmouth the Philippines--he knows the good and bad side of the Philippines. Good or bad, both are true but he (my dad) did--as much as possible--to expose me to both the Filipino and American culture. We also have poor and homeless people in the States.

I just hope that you'll show your child/future children the good and bad side of the Philippines. Maybe your children will be able to change the Philippines.

what he's saying is all truth.
he married you. he should then embrace Filipino Culture.
But you're lucky if you will be leaving this country (as the other pinays say)
just love your baby and your hubby. family first.
