The first time I was in Cebu ..I met a woman for lunch at my hotel...she brought her "cousin" to have lunch with me....we had lunch and I could see that they were close....she was supposed to date me and show me around....well when she went to the bathroom...he asked me what I felt about her.....I told him we had been chatting for about 4 months and I was looking forward to getting to know her better....well he was her husband and told me he would rent his wife to me for a few days....that was a shock to me !! Well she got back and wanted to spend time with me ..I paid for their meal and excused myself... I did not make a scene and told them I had other plans and told her I would call her when I was done with my business.....I kept face and so did they...welcome to the Philippines...!

Just get ready to have her glued to the bottom of your shoes, because where you go, she will go, also. My wife and I have been together for over 30 years, and she's still thinking I'm trying to trade her in. Frankly, I don't have the energy, but it's pretty funny that she would think that.

*Go ahead - throw the baby out with the bath water.* It's a package deal - but there's a potential reality for you. You're 60 plus - you're a little heavy - got hair growing in your ears - you have zits on your body older than your girlfriend - but - and here's the good part - it's 4 pm - and you just spent the last three hours - naked in bed - with a 20 something that could suck a golf ball through a garden hose. That Robust pill you took this morning has kicked in and you feel like you're 17 - and could drive a nail without a hammer. Your girlfriend rode you like a rented mule - and you made a note to yourself to fix the headboard as she might have broken it - grabbing it so hard. When she's finished - exhausted - and laying in your arms and you both fall asleep - a little jealousy will be the last thing on your mind - and not the deal breaker you boast it to be.

What are you talking about guys? It´s not about jealousy. It´s about the fear of losing a real good PREY! Try getting these "girls" jealous if you don´t have a lot. It´s not gonna happen. Who cares about you? Nobody!!! I tried it different ways - once telling some of the truth, another time telling I was broke. Hell, what a difference!!! Don´t believe what I am telling you here - make your own tests. I bet I already know the outcome. We Westerners are way to well-off, saturated and whatever that we cant image what desperate people are capable of seemingly easy victims. Stop dreaming, dreamers!!!

@jsully4064 5 ай бұрын

So true about jealousy ruining relationships, have previous experience with this before my filipina wife. Merlyn always told me she was not a jealous person and I believed her, she told me that she knew I admired other pretty girls and it did not bother her. After a lot of the recent videos watched about jealousy, confronted her that it was impossible that she wasn't jealous, we laughed and she admitted that she did get jealous but that she trusts me...she thinks am so guapo is the reason she gets jealous...lol. So agree that jealousy is a thing in filipinas, but it is handled by most filipinas differently. It is important that you give your filipina no reasons to be jealous such as you said, letting your wife or girlfriend know you arrived at your destination, communicating with them regularly so they know what you are up to. Good video Janet and Mike.....Jim

Hi Mike. Great video. Saving face. Salamat and ouch. My poorest aspect is my temper. I need to learn to control it and listen to what i say before i say it. Jealousy. My experience with jealousy came from my father who was very hurtful. As a result, i see jealousy as a negative in a relationship. It leads to anger and mistrust. It was an issue in my LDR that stranded our relationship. Thank you some very good points and insight i did not know.

"must deal with" I respectfully disagree. The jealousy is like dealing with a 13 year old and I outgrew that decades ago. I won't compromise my boundaries for the sake of someone else being comfortable with me. Either you trust me or you don't, and if you don't then we shouldn't be together in the first place.

I like the fact that you are keeping each other posted on your whereabouts. That fosters trust! But I do not agree on sharing passwords. When I was in an LDR with my last Filipina girlfriend, she offered to give me the password of her FB. I told her I didn't want it because I trusted her. I also never gave her my password. There is, however, a reason for suspicion when you wife or girlfriend refuses to befriend her on FB. Then she has something to hide. I found that out the hard way with my ex-Filipina-wife.

Greetings: All relationships (interaction) is based on Mind. soul and body; 1, 2 or all 3 being the best case scenario. Myself, I seek all 3 in that order. I define and inform up front. Proper culture and home training contribute 2 the better of such. Trust is form of respect. Respect learned by culture and home training. Such is not normal practice in 2day's society. Lack of home training I figure. As such most close personal social relationships do not survive. Bottom line - reciprocate respect and love.

My ex wife was crazy jealous, showing up on my job if I didn’t call her on every break, if the grocery cashier was a woman and spoke just nice, there would be a scene. I couldn’t handle it. I lived in that hell for 4 years and it just got worse. I divorced her, good riddance! I lived single up until now 45 years later. I’ve always worked all the overtime I could get plus did side jobs on my days off, I can tell you that’s no way to keep a relationship going as I’ve had more than one fail over just that. I moved to the Philippines in 2013 when I retired, met a gal, started a relationship and if I walked across block away I’d get phone calls or text messages. I’ll answer a call but not a text if I’m not going to be gone all day. The jealousy over there was too much for me to deal with. The silent treatment was a relief to me but living with a bitter person didn’t feel right. I lived my last year over there alone and loved it but that ex stalked me constantly. Now I just live in Florida enjoying life my way. No headaches!

HI MIKE and JANET . EXCELLENT , TRUTHFUL VIDEO. You both tell it like it is... I am not to happy about SAVING FACE there , however here in the USA , it happens also. A BIG DIFFERENCE here is ALL the cameras EVERYWHERE , its almost impossible to SAVE FACE unless you know someone LOL I think 2 things are very important , don t hide anything from your partner and if said partner does no t truly love you , they won t be jealous. TY GUYS GOD BLESS CIAO

What is love without trust, the truth is, she believes the only way she can trust and control you is to monitor your every move. Don’t allow these women’s insecurities to be disguised with the word love.

To a point, l think jealousy can be a good thing as it demonstrates that the other really wants and loves you. On the other hand, if it’s overwhelming, we’ll, that’s too much.

Wow ... didn't know it was that serious ... talked to one girl in the Philippines for 3 months and suddenly she started claiming that I'm cheating on her ... I assured her that it wasn't true ... but as the next 3 months went by the accusations of cheating by her got worse and worse ... she even began teaching me lessons by refusing to talk to me for a week ... Eventually I just got tired of being accused of something that wasn't true ... I decided that she is obviously crazy and massively insecure and I don't want a relationship with an immature insecure person ... even though she was 37 ... So I told her that I was tired of being accused, that I thought she was very immature and insecure and I don't want a relationship like that I blocked her and cut her off on everything and never spoke to her again ... I went 6 months without speaking to or dating anyone ... before beginning a search again for a more mature girl ... Now I feel kinda bad ... I didn't know jealousy was such an ingrained cultural trait ... I thought she was just a crazy one that I had found ....😒

Mike, I take it that the lack of jealousy is cause for alarm. The worst is that she does not care about you, and the 2nd thing is that she has been westernized. The 2nd is cause for concern but is not as bad as the 1st.

"Saving face" is a tribal thing, IMO. Western culture, overall, doesn't have it because we immigrate/emigrate so much. As for jealousy, I use ZERO social media. My wife can check my unlocked computer & cell phone anytime. If I'm going out, it's always with a purpose. I don't do 'fun'...without my wife. My children actually came back to me after college & thanked me for us not having social media...more harm than good.

This might not work for everyone. My Filipina and I have been married 25 yrs now. In the beginning she used to show signs of extreme jealousy for no reason at all. I started getting sick of it and before we got married I told her that jealousy is a sign of mental illness. I asked her if she was crazy. She thought about It for a few minutes and told me no, she's not crazy and never acted out in jealousy again. I wonder if she lost face when I told her that?

Great vlog. Your point about disrespecting a Filipino/guy is not what one wants to do. Just be polite and walk away. We are guests here, and if we want to continue to live in the Philippines, just walk away. As for the Filipinas. If they don't trust me, I'm done with them. I let them know this upfront that if they can not trust me, then we are done. It's that simple. There are many, many Filipinas and they have many ex-pats to choose from. I would rather be single than live with a jealous Filipina. This is a business relationship. Young Filipinas are not stupid. They are with us for a reason. We hold the golden ticket for them when we pass away. They need to realize this, or the door is open for them to leave. That's my opinion!

Jealousy is a problem with woman in general. I have dealt with this for many years. It really wears on one’s patience. To the point that no matter what you do to prove that you are an honorable person and they are still jealous can make you think what did this person go through to be this way. The answer is that is the way they are and you will need to deal with it gracefully if you want that relationship to continue.

Yep, I had the hottest blue eyed gf in my early 30s, but she was so insecure that she wanted to be with me 27/7. As beautiful as she was, it was too much. We lived together and worked together, plus she had issues if I ever even tried to hang out with the guys. It sucked that we could not make it work, bc she was an awesome tough woman, but her insecurity was just too much.
