    You seem nice, but you are a perfectionist and carry a big chip on your shoulder. You lug that baggage around wherever you go and that prevents you from experiencing the fullness of what what life has to offer. Normal for filipinos means raising a family and being connected with family (not necessarily supporting them all the time, but keeping healthy family ties). Having a baby, strengthens your bond as a family. The family-oriented culture, with faith and traditions blended together is the secret why filipinos have a happy dispositions in life, a factor that foreigners are attracted to. But you want control, that's fine, as long as you don't make her conform so much to your point of view, relationship-wise, because you are a broken person, carrying that baggage into the relationship. Don't poison the well, or what you fear will be self-fulfilling prophesy. Life is a journey of ups and downs. There can be no guarantees that there wouldn't be chaos, but the journey together with your partner to triumph through problems (you call it "chaos", which really implies your paranoia) will only make your relationship deeper and stronger.

    Before getting married to my first wife in America, we lived together for two years while we were both going to the same university. I left her for a job elsewhere and instantly realized I wanted to be with her. I returned and we were married for 35 years. Similarly here in Thailand, we lived together for two years before I asked her to marry me. We’ve been married 3 years and all is well. I think living every day together for 2 years qualifies as due diligence. There is only so much you can do. Communication is key. I left my first wife ultimately over communication issues. Communication needs to be honest and needs to reveal your mutual life goals and daily needs. Here in SEA there is a clearer transactional nature to the relationship. As you have observed, she wants security and I want companionship and care in my life. As for the chaos, I am realistic about it being a (hopefully) low level constant in any poor Asian family but at my age (66) and being retired I have learned to achieve a certain calm in my life. Whatever happens I think I will be OK.

    Human females need two vastly different males. One who's a hot dark-triad macho for "Seed" (hot infatuation / passion). The other is the nice-guy provider for financial "Need". You are speaking of security "Need". But, that is defined as non-love and ends in loveless marriages or divorce. The only reason to marry is because you can't get a visitor visa for the lady (from a poor country) or if you want babies. Peace.

Marriage basically seals the deal and gives the women what she enjoys, being proud in sharing your name. Theses used to be the western women's way of thinking, I found it again in a Filipina.

    Paul, I don’t think it’s a matter of inviting chaos into your life, it seems in both cases the women you were married to “found” men who were of a higher value or your EXs were **disappointed** with what you were offering . Both cases you mentioned “..I should have **NOT** allowed xyz..” it does sound controlling and that might have been the source of some of your “issues” …. The relationships perhaps were not “strong” enough have you might have originally thought.
    Many married women work as car salesperson… Many married women do “girls night out” …. You are blaming external factors as opposed to looking into the relationship itself.. Best of luck….

  • @DanH88
    @DanH88 2 года назад +3

    I agree with your thinking about not inviting chaos into your life and want to mention two more points that come to mind. First you cannot totally insulate your wife from the temptations in everyday life, that's impossible. It's inevitable she'll be exposed to guys who'll want her to stray or women who tell her she can have another man and get rewarded for that by taking half your assets. It comes down to her character, what does she truly believe in and is not just telling you what she thinks you want to hear. That's why vetting her is so important and that just takes time to figure out but even then, you can never truly know for sure. Our society really works against people who want to be monogamous and stay in a loving relationship. I blame Hollywood for how people's thinking has evolved. Look at shows like Friends, Seinfeld, Frasier, and even the Golden Girls. They all legitimized promiscuity over and over. I do think people absorb that crap into their own lives without even realizing it. They ought to ask themselves "is that really good for me and the way I want to live the rest of my life?" But most never do and fall victim to their temptations - We have met the enemy, he is us. I hope you find peace and love in life Paul, best of luck.

    I think the most importent is compatibility and not being in a rush for anything. Invest time to ensure you both are going to be happy or not! Not evveryone is marriage material. Ensure you get married for the right reasons. Many have made mistakes in the past and are scared of commitment or making the same mistake , its just another chapter! Live and learn. Got lucky with my wife we dated for around 3 years before marriage. Best desicion ever for us. Although in life you have to understand that people change sometimes. It's up to you to keep the flames going! Think as people get older they tend to get complacent and lazy! Drink that coffee in the morning to help motivate and live a healthy life! We not going to be on this earth forever so why not enjoy each day like its our last. If marriage is not for you then its ok as well as long as you are happy when you wake up in the morning. Life is not always about ourselves as much as it is about other people. Always be kind to others, and show nothing but love and respect. Wish everyone as safe and happy holiday season.

    Relationships and marriage is not for everyone. Also it is said that parenting is not for everyone. They say " You create your thoughts, your thoughts create your intentions, and your intentions create your reality." Intention aside, We're all capable in hurting people. However, Eckhart Tolle once said, “You cannot receive what you don't give. Overflow determines inflow. To each their own, our life, our choice. Rule 101: Never gave an excuse. ✌️

At this stage in my life I am in the need of a wife. I must admit I really would rather have a young wife versus an old one. I really do love this lady.

    Good relationships & marriages are possible, it comes down to finding the right woman and vetting her thoroughly before giving her your commitment. The important internal things I look for: similar core values, not invested in social media, never creates drama, is not materialistic, and she understands (and desires) the man takes the lead and the woman follows. All of these signal a woman who is emotionally mature and feminine, and can loyally pair bond to one man. The changes in social and cultural dynamics (with the help of the Internet) is making it more challenging to find such a woman at home or abroad, but good ones are still out there. The mistake a lot of men make is they either don't vet her character for red flags or dismiss her bad behavior. These are the guys that get burned or fleeced by women and they usually have more negative than positive things to say.

What do they call that “opportunity cost”. I am a business major. You would think I could figure something out. Suggestions? For revenue streams? I have always wanted to spend a year in the Philippines. Maybe it would be worth it. I am 47, fast approaching 48. Visiting Philippines next week for a month. I have an instant GF waiting for me.
