My problem is my relationship with my high school best friend. We were classmates all of four years in high school but took up different courses in college. We are both considered “beauty and brains”; she looks more Chinese, I am very Filipino.
I am a 29-year-old male working abroad. I met a Filipina in the company I work in. She is a single mother with two daughters. She is hiding that from everyone and she doesn’t know that I know.
Twenty years ago, I devised a way to get rid of an eight-year-relationship that my mom objected to. She was my high-school girlfriend, smart and pretty, but from a lower income status, and whose parents were nobodies in the social circle I grew up in.
My boyfriend and I have been together for three years. He has a 10-year-old kid who is living with his mother. His father died a year ago.
My husband and I are both 67 years old and we’ve been together since 15 in high school. Our four children have families of their own. I’m a consultant in a private company. My husband, though not sick, chose to retire early. We haven’t had sex in 35 years and I’ve accepted it grudgingly for the longest time.
I began an intimate relationship with an office mate of mine six years ago. I was single at the time, but he was already engaged to his girlfriend of two years. The two of us together was out of the question. He’s Chinese and I am Pinay. He said if only things were different, he could be with me.
I have a good and happy family, even though my father is separated from us. My maternal aunt and her grown-up son live next door to us. She is a single mother and has never told anyone who the father of her son is.
I lost somebody I loved dearly for 31 years. I was only 20 when I met him, the greatest love of my life. He was not very handsome nor well-off, but I was so comfortable with him.
I found out only recently that my husband of 21 years has been visiting girlie bars and night clubs for the most part of our married life.
I have just seen your articles in the newspaper about OFWs having affairs. I am a New Zealand man, 64 years old, who spent nearly four years in an immigration office struggling to bring to my country a Filipino lady. Three times, I visited your beautiful country and met many wonderful people who I came to admire. Finally, I was able to get permission for my lady, aged 48, to come here.
