I’ve been married less than a year. I’m an only son to a mother who just got widowed. My mother has no living relatives, as well.
I am 29, originally from the Visayas and now living in Florida the past seven years. My problem is about my fiancee and my family. She is a Russian mom with three teenage kids. She is also 16 years my senior. We have been together four years now and just got engaged recently.
I am 40 with one kid, and have been a widow for seven years. After my husband died, my high-school boyfriend and I reconnected six years ago. We’re the same age, but he is still single with no kids.
I am quite a contented married woman with a broad-minded husband and three in-college children. Until two years ago. I read a well-written article in a Filipino magazine published in the United States and sent my feedback to the writer. I was surprised when he answered me. That started regular e-mails between us, where we talked about everything under the sun.
Sitting in a family court several months ago, I was struck by a poster that the judge had hung on her wall.

In the evening of Oct. 4, 2002, several dining tables and bedrooms in Linden Suites in Ortigas were filled with frames with this line, “One chance!” This was the night before game three of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines’ men’s basketball championship. It was in Linden Suites where the Ateneo de Manila UAAP men’s basketball team was quartered for the championship series.
I first met my wife when her own firm and the company I worked with started to do business together. I married her a year and a half later.
My husband and I are planning to work overseas, for higher wages of course. But we have two kids, aged 4 and 2, who I think are too young to be left without our personal guidance. My husband is unaware of my uncertainties because this will only start a quarrel.
I am 23 years old, and I have a boyfriend who is seven years older than me. We met through a friend two years ago. We became close, though he was jobless while I was in my final year in college.
