I keep getting weird error messages this morning. I'll submit this one to the department of redundancy department for double check.

I read the transcript of your last chat session with your girl... What shocked me was the ease in which she said "Bye... Thank you for everything"...  Or, I will kill myself if you break up with me... Time to slow down and re-evaluate... Just watch your six... Ultimately, YOU will have to live with the decisions you make...

ya I know dat for sure!

I am not in a hurry, I will visit her in June no wedding.

I did meet her face to face and court her for 20 days.

I thought I knew her?

It is hard to let it go without more checking

All you guys have made me see the darkside LOL

Hopfully the force is with me

These last actions of hers have me stumped

She was responsible for saving me thousands of peso while I was there.  

Oh Well !!!

Or not.  Remember what happened to the old fool who married the young Ukrainian hottie and moved to Ukraine.  The police found his bloodied body in his bathtub, and his young "widow" is living quite well off his money with her former boyfriend.
Sometimes we get more than we bargain for in this endevour, especially when we voluntarily put on the blinders and follow the little head after the too young and dangerous hottie.

your first chatt post with your Mahal, but I read this one. She sounds like an okey Pinay...I think you should just postphone your wedding date, and you both get to know each other better.  Instead of getting married to her in RP, maybe you should file for a 90 day fiancee visa to bring her here..If you feel that she is the "One", then you can marry her before the 90 day expire. Btw, My mahal threatens to kill herself whenever things go wrong, even my ex AW pinay spoke of killing herself, ex Penpals talked about killing themselves, so I don't understand why they say such nonsense.  greg

You and me are on the same wavelength.  The fiance visa is a better idea after another visit in June for sure.  We know they are not going to kill themselves but it is a call for help when caught in the cookie jar.  It is the next best thing to crying.  It must work coz they all do it.  I am very sad about this whole affair but it could be worse.  At least she has confessed complety and has shown that she does not want to loose me.

The suicide threats are NOT a call for help! And NO, they ALL do not do it.

Threatening suicide during your little argument was simply another method of manipulating you. None of the Filipina ladies I have known have ever threatened suicide.  It’s a teenager thing used to get what they want and if an older woman uses that tactic, then she never grew up. It’s too late now, but you should have called her bluff right on the spot.

My prediction is that you can expect at least a weekly suicide threat, sometimes with the superficial wrist “slashes” or Tylenol “overdoses”, as a regular part of your married life. She has used this on you once and gotten away with it, and she is sure to try it again (and again, and again...). It’s a character flaw that you are going to have to learn to live with, so you should plan to adjust your life accordingly.

Marichu treatened suicide and I dumped her.  She even sent me e-mails after her "other bf's" broke up with her and she knew I was married.  I let Honey answer it ;-).

Hi Ray,

I have found suicide threats VERY common among Latinas. I have made a good living holding their hands and bringing them back from the depths of "unconsciousness" and "death." We used to rate them 1-10 on their perfomances. 9-10 being a Latin Oscar and recomendation for a role in a Novela (Latin soap opera);o)))  Perhaps this has trickled into the Philippines through blood or culture. ;o))) I don't know much about these threats by Filipinas, as my wife never uses these tactics. I was under the impression that most Filipinas tampo and skip the dramatics. I suspect it is more common among the younger generations...who watch Mexican novelas like 'Rosalinda' translated into Tagalog. I am curious now and have to ask my wife how common it is in the Philippines.

A mi compania tengo muchas "drama queens" y todos se gustan novellas MUCHO!

It ain't easy speaking Spanish at work and Japanese at home. That's why I hang out here, to keep from losing my English skills - LOL.
