Is she that GERL lady that's new here.

We are very happy for you.

Tess & Stephen

P.S.

Use phonecards when calling to the Phils. It's prepaid so you need not worry about your bills.

Hi Tess,

You should start your own "Psychic Loveline." ;o)) Howard just slipped that past the rest of us. LOL

Hey GERL, where did you go? I hope we didn't scare you off. Looking forward to your posts. Almost all of us troublemakers are in love, so we are pretty mellow at the moment. ;o))

25 yo so I checked the profile of GERL and got it. And also she's the one that's new in here. H said that she told her about PL.

Hi H,

It's great to hear about the new friend that has come into your life. You are a great guy and deserve nothing but the best!

I am also glad to hear that the problems of the recent past will soon be finished and laid to rest. It's honorable that you want to shoulder the blame and become the fall guy. However, due to the culture, Ayesa would probably be blammed even if she did nothing wrong. But, she is their daughter and they will always love her. Eventually they will forgive her...especially if she is able to stay in the US and continue to send money. After all, that appears to have been the family's primary motivation from the start. It might be OK to write a nice letter to her parents, but I wouldn't admit fault or take any blame. It is probably best just to move on. Be careful! I KNOW you will! Any statements can be used against you later by the INS and ex-spouse. She can self-petition by claiming to have been battered or subjected to extreme cruelty during the marriage. A letter where you admit full responsibility for the marriage breakup could help to prove that.

Good Luck!

Dave H.

Dave,

Great Guy?  Deserve the Best?  No, Dave... this is Howard :c)  LOL  Hahahahaha

Thanks Big Brutha ;c)  You and Ray bring up good points that I had not considered.  Do you guys ever get tired of being wise?  LOL

Hi H,

Thanks Bro! My kids are getting so tall that I'm starting to ask them "Who's your Daddy?" ;o))) The only explanation I have is that both of my grandfathers were tall. Hmmm...

Hey big  H

I  am  so  glad  to  hear  that  things  are  definately  improving  for  you.   Wow  5  hour  marathon  chats  your  fingers  must  have  blisters  ha ha ha.  It  is  definately  convienient  for  both  of  you  that  she  has  acess to the  internet cafe like  she does.   I  am  glad  that  both  of  you  are  proceding  Cautiously  and  not blindly.  but  stop  worrying  about  inadvertenly  sabotaging  this  potential  relationship  some way  or  other.  Just be  honest  and  be  yourself  that  is  all  you  can  do.  It  definately  sounds  like  she is  interested  in  the  status  quo  between  you  two.

I  hope  that  your  friend  will  be  willing  to  stop  in  here  and  say  hello.  You  can  promise  her  we  will  be  on  our  best  behavior  when  she does.

hi Howard!!!

I know the girl you're talking about. hehehe. We've been communicating through emails. I'm happy for both of you. We're of the same hometown and I could sense that she's a nice person. She told me about a guy she met on CB chatroom and while I was reading your post, she came into my mind. Oh well, sisssss!!! Gotcha!!! hehehe.

Pardon me..I'm just happy:))

M,

MAN... Bear isn't gonna get away with ANYTHING as sharp as you are :c)  Yep, you know my pal.  You busted me :c)  LOL

I hear girls from Mindanao are better, especially if they're from Davao!  At least that's what Bear and Gerl tell me :c)  LOL  (Just kidding to the rest of the ladies from everywhere else!)

It's good to see that you and Bear are doing so well :c)  He's a good man, but I know you know that ;c)

Our stories seem very similar, I can only pray that our outcome is as positive as yours :c)

You should post more, I have always enjoyed your thoughts :c)

Keep the Faith!

Hey H!

Glad to hear that you are moving on with your life. Just one comment/suggestion/advice:

FORGET AYESA’S FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don’t write to her parents.
Don’t apologize for something you didn’t do.
Don’t try to save Ayesa’s butt.

Forget about her family and her problems and Move Forward! She can fend for herself. It’s not your family anymore, it’s HER family. It’s no longer your problem, it’s HER problem. You’ve done all you can do with that marriage, now let it go! (Just a piece of friendly advice).
-----

So, when is this new buddy of your going to post here so we can welcome her to the family?

Hi stranger! Come out wherever you are… If you’re a friend of Howard’s, your our friend also.

Take care buddy!

As usual you are the voice of reason ;c)  You're probably right, I think maybe it is time to just let things run their course.  I have had very little control over the outcome so far, why would anything change now?  LOL

Keep the Faith!
