To Be with a Non-Filipino A Sin?
Hi To All!
Im married to a non-filipino man and it pisses me off everytime we go out like shopping and people will gv us this nasty looks as if it is a big deal for them if a filipina is with a guy of other nationality (mostly who does this are indians). Sometimes also some kabayans would say " Nakabingwit Si Kabayan Ng Malaking Isda",it always happen to me in Souq, I mean Why? Is Loving Him A Sin?
OP ??????????????????????
Rules are a guideline for intelligent people, but they must be adhered to by idiots.
yahhhh right...
just don't mind them as they doesn't know the reality behind what you have gone thruogh with your hubby. Just smile and be proud that you catch one.
cheerzzzzzz...
Twenty, agree with you...an idiot normally have very low emotional intelligent with high temper...keep it up dude...eat more cucumber with hummus ...
Gadarene, thank you for your valuable time to tracking me down...means either you love me or hate me so deep ...it likes a coin with two side...unfortunately I'm not a guy...please keep tracking me because you will find more interesting things......perhaps sometime I will consult you to check my molar and make me painful....take care buddy...
Life is a continual upgrade. ~JMW
@ jonaras,life isn't fair...deal with it...@ twenty,your last comment sums it up,the guy can't even spell to save his life & is on here spewing his anti-Indian crap...i hope you realize by tracking this guy that he has a very deep set hatred for Indians per se & refuses to acknowledge the fact that not all are the same...
--------------------------------------------
Never argue with an idiot,they drag you down to their level
Twenty, who are you..MOD? Give me a brake why I should check Indian Embassy or Filipino Embassy to count how many Indian marry Filipino prior to make this comment.......
Life is a continual upgrade. ~JMW
is age for you really matters?
Please be reminded that maturity never relies on age gap..didnt ya? and LOVE never signifies age as well..
gotcha?
if u not check or not care !!!....pls not make comments if u not sure
Gadarene,
I don't need to check ...who care...but you don't get my point that it's unfair to this couple or to Iren at least....read it again mate..
Life is a continual upgrade. ~JMW
lol Alumnar.... you really have patience...its 28 days now...
________________________________________
One life to live, live it to the fullest.
lol alumnar
u wondering her husband age from the begining of this topic
still no answer?
... and so we still continue waiting to see if the OP discloses the age of her husband.....
inggit lng sila...un lng po
Let's face reality friends, Most filipnas are getting pressured by their family and friends when they're are courting a foreigner e.g. "You well soon be rich when you marry this rich foreigner. You must be a good daughter and remember how we struggled to feed you." so you should take care of our sick buffalo's now... She then obeys them and the poor guy goes bankrupt!
it's ur life, it's ur desicion so never let anyone take control of urself otherwise u will end of pittying urself. there's maybe a reason y its happening into u, just think of it as part of trials in ur relationship n learn how u will handle that matter.
DON'T LET FANTASY ROB YOU OF YOUR REAL LIFE BEAUTY
ignore them,,afterall they cannot fulfill your happiness..who are tey anyway?
wish you all the best.God bless.
everything is a sin, better to just enjoy yourself.
not worrying what other people think is a concept quite hard to implement, but i find it extremely easy.
Rules are a guideline for intelligent people, but they must be adhered to by idiots.
do you mean how many driver forced a housmaid to get married to him?:)
na-iingit lang sila sau
ignoring these people is the best thing to do.they should know that not all filipina women are worst.
@ jonaras,FYI...check with the Indian embassy how many Indian-Filipina couples they're officially conducting marriages for EVERY DAY...there's a lot you don't know,that doesn't mean it doesn't happen now does it?...
people always do this and do not respect feelings of othirs it is not your problem and ignore them
don't be bothered by these kind of peoples.....dont worry beee happy....the day is gift of god
I don't understand, do you say that Filipino supposed not to marry Indian because of their bad image or lower class? or in opposite? Unfair...but it's very rare I met Filipino-Indian couple....hard chemistry...heh..
Life is a continual upgrade. ~JMW
this type of conversation has repeated itself so often.
Why not check previous strings about inter-racial alliances. God and this still goes on to page two.
Iren, my thought, as long as you love the one you are with, who care what anyone else thinks.
Some stare, maybe because they are envious, some due to small minds. Or you may be putting too much meaning into anyone just giving you a glance.
So, just go on with your life.
Peace and God Bless.
No dear..
Not at all..
You have the liberty to choose what is good or bad...
Don't worry..!
When you have the courage to marry him...then for sure u have nothing to do with other's comments whatever it may be...!!
If the comment is intollerable, u have the right to complaint with police..
Be a brave Girl...!
All the Qatar Living Friends are with you.
take care...
tks.

live with it, the smelly indiams are just upset that they miss out on you.. why i could never think. but up to them.. get over it. you dont mind spending your husbands money.. so live with it,, forget the smelly indians
Rules are a guideline for intelligent people, but they must be adhered to by idiots.
Nothing matters when you are truly in love. Nothing!
You know iren before you get hook with somebody else wether filino or not for love reasons or otherwise, you should have thought of its effect or possible consequences. You should have asked yourself, "Carry ko ba?"
What I know is that, when two people are truly in love, there is only just the two of them in the world.
And so Shakespear wrote - Love is blind that lovers do not see the pretty foolish themselves commit!
just give them a wink, a nod and a "hand job" motion when you walk past them.
who cares what other people think. small country, small minds.
i know of a very famous forumer here in QL, a chubby westerner who had married a filipina in doha.
after that, he seldoms post here with the old nick.
i wonder why?
let them be what should they say..what's important is your happiness. but my question is are u happy with husband?
I feel every one is not same and to blame whole indian community is not right,May be some who r desperate singles will do that.
Any ways iam also single but newer did so i always think that give respect and take respect
Thanks Guys
Just ignore them. Be proud of who you are..
and as Kath Tate would say:-

"HE WHO DARES WINS"
Derek Edward Trotter
you belive in your love !
Don't mind narrow minded people. As far as you have a self confidence and you know that the reason behind your marriage was "love", then don't mind all those people.
People who stare at you are one of the following:
1- People who lack self-confidence for some reason which could be mental or physical dissorders.
2- People who are jelous from you and wish to be in your's or your husband's situation.
3- People who envy you for having such a good-looking or rich husband.
4- People who envy your husband for having a beautiful smart lady.
5- People who are amazed of your or your husband looking.
6- Hungry dogs with thier saliva drooling.
7- Thirsty female dogs.
8- People who think they know you or your husband.
No matter what s the reason, if you see a male dog with his salive drooling or a thirsty female dog staring at your husband, you better look down at him/her and spit on the floor once you see them staring at you. Make sure they will see what you have done. This is not a good thing to do ofcourse and disgusting, but you still have this option in order to tell the one who stare at you: "this is your value for me, you little piece of disgusting moron"
it is basically normal for them to react like that, our kabayans always tend to do this huge sweeping generalization which is really misguided and awful act.
Don't let them piss you off, they are probably envious or sourgraping. Just think that you know yourself better than anyone and the reason that makes you ignore them is because the man walking beside you, is the one you share your love with.
"I don't go back on my words, that's my way of ninja"
Its just that they are good at picking odd thing out..what's so serious about it?
just be proud and hold your head high... like what im doing... and look back at them with raised eyebrows...
:-)
just ignore what the other people say..
everybody have his/her own story
as long as you're not stepping on
other's head..
don't let other people bring you down
just do your own thing girl!
@ lebaneseman,the expat population demographic in this country is 80% Indian,so obviously one is going to see a lot more Indians than other nationalities right? 1st off mate,your statement "does the truth hurt u like this?" makes no sense whatsoever in light of the fact that i already very clearly stated that i agree that "these Indians just keep looking at every single woman"...JUST LIKE other expat men do...you're not adressing the point i'm trying to make my friend...so let me be more clear...are you saying that Arab men don't stare at women?...a simple yes or no will suffice...please & thank you...as cruveck rightly stated,go to souq or sofitel & you have Indian/Asian men staring @ your wife/girlfriend...well guess what my friend,i face the same problem with Arab guys in Villagio & souq Waqif...same situation,different location...all i'm saying is don't point a finger @ one community when your own people are doing the same thing,fair enough?...
whats wrong with that..
there is nothing wrong when it comes to love..
i am dating a lebanese guy..were happy..
though sometimes i choose not to be with him .going outside coz i know what would be the reaction of the other people when they saw us together specially in a crowded place..
what to do?
but im happy coz we enjoy each others company..
Hahahahah...go to low level people areas like the Souq (Sofitel Area); of course you get mostly labourers to stare at you and your family. Its the same anywhere in the world as far as i remember!
On top of that, if your wife does not look like from the same country as you. Then it becomes bigger treat for them and a premium reason to stare at you.
gadarene , does the truth hurt u like this? I would like to suggest to go with ur girlfriend/wife to the souq (Sofitel...) tomorrow and just notice how they are looking at ur girl and most of them are from ur country.
Who is the perfect person?
He answered the perfect one is the one who does not die.
I won't. I'm a sinner. I am not (yet) with a phillipina.
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone!
gadarena....Well explained! But i doubt it will make a difference as people just are so ignorant to realities of life out of Doha!
@ cruveck...it's not these poor sod's fault mate...the only place they know is their hometown & Qatar...they've never travelled/lived/experienced anywhere/anything else...& it shows!!...ANY old white guy with a significantly younger Asian woman in tow is going to get stared @ in MOST parts of the world because the terms "gold digger", "mail order","obviously married for money",etc immediately spring to mind for most people for the simple reason that it's true for a very significant majority of those relationships,for the few if any,that don't fit the above category,tough luck,just suck it up & deal with it,it's your own people that set a precedent for it & that's not going to change anytime soon...
@ lebaneseman, & of course lebanese & other Arab men NEVER stare @ women right?...do you realize how stupid it sounds when you make a statement like "these Indians just keep looking at every single woman"?...yes they do...just as much as other Asian & Arab men,that's the whole truth mate...don't state a part of the truth making it appear like the whole thing...if you want to tell it,tell it like it is...
melow drama
loool @ doha_guru, i like the idea :P ,
marie_2 , i am sorry to say that most of the filipinas here in qatar search for well-paid expatriates and it happens that most of these are westerners. This way the filipinas can save a lot of money to send back home. I agree with yousefmsh 100%, she is ashamed or shy? to tell us about his age and nationality and her age also.
Thats why marie_2 , it looks different if a young filipina married a westener 60 yrs old !
Also, these indians just keep looking and looking at every single woman. but why should u care if u have self confidence ?
Who said this is only a problem in Doha and only by Indians?
I remember clearly even in UK, the similar thing happened to a english friend of mine with his Thai wife.
They get stares at the shopping malls and run into trouble at the airports all the time!
Get out of your shell and go traveling maybe you guys can have a better understanding...Lol
Guru....have a life.....don't hijack from main thread....
Peace
@ doha_guru,& of course your Pakistani brothers & sisters NEVER stare @ you right?...it's only these f@#^%*g Indians right?...because your Pakistani brothers & sisters are so cultured & well-educated that they wouldn't stare @ you right?...c'mon man,there are plenty of India vs. Pakistan threads on QL,this isn't one of them...this is about ASIAN men staring @ this woman & correct me if i'm wrong but Pakistan is part of Asia is it not?...tell me no Pakistanis in Qatar stare @ you & i'll show you someone who's LYING...get it?...& btw, for an India/Indian hater,you might want to change your user name...the word "guru" is very much an Indian word...a bit ironic don't you think?...
its ok dont worry about the people around you some of them just jealous, im married now for 7 years with my local husband with 3 lovely kids and im so lucky and happy with him, but still people looked at us like we're just playing around, just make sure hold your husband tight and love him so our pinay kabayan will not fallin to him..and take note my husband is a lot older than me..
iren .(may be) even u feel thers something odd about being with non-filipino.why else wud u make this a big problem fr
I think your story is short, to complete the story I think he is an old rich ugly man , and u r a beautiful young girl, that’s why u get a bad look , they think that you r after his money . but still not excuse to look at u this way. ( maybe I am wrong but that what I think). And how do u know that they r Indians.
intercaste/international bonded together is FINE....
No offence or passing judgment......
A general view of suspicion arises When a Syrian/Egyptian/Lebanese/Qatari with NOT one but 2 or more filipinas having fun at malls or restaurants.
If you are in a perfect relationship then 'WHO cares' and "Live your life and enjoy" should be the mindset!
Peace
I want to join also for a group ,,,who are non filipino asawa.
She has a guilty conscience nicaq, she will blame the whole world but will not accept that she married an old rich westerner for money.. I am sorry my filipina & filipino friends, one of you is a bad apple, how do I know it Iren you may ask... well I am that good...
Stop abusing others now and do some introspection if that's too hard then just keep quiet...
Don't abuse your own countrymen over your guilty conscience....
to be with Filipinos is not a sin. To marry one is ok (as long as both of you are singles).
do not think alot
just ignor them
laurana, you have some disorders..
Why only philipinas are getting married to old westners. Is it for love or for money???? Why so many of them (you can see in shopping centers)??? Is there any shortage of good philipino men or is it because old western men are paid more and you may get a citizenship in their countries????
Use any ones brain and all these falling in love seems so...........
Come on.
Not all bananas has the same number of seeds.
Be proud and do not mind them. Get a life. They can just look whatever they can, and who cares.
They do not have the right to nor have the guts to judge you and to all those women who fell in love or marry foreigners.
"I can compare myself to halo-halo, the deeper you know me, the better."
... to hear on the original poster husbands' age...!
I agree with you snowman...
Irene,
Thou both of you are dedicated, the views of people can't be changed. You just look around you. In the malls you could see a lot of girls either trying to flirt or 'trade' with guys.
People are watching and waiting for their chances to pick one of them. The people might had a feeling from your appearance, that you belongs to such groups. But you can make a difference. ALWAYS use proper and decent dresses, which present yourself in a gentle way.
Try it and you will win. ALL THE BEST.
just ignore those kind of people,
Girl,First of all, I have all the right to speak out of what's in my head. Secondly, I am self sufficient but that's because I've work harder because I'm born poor and presently, I'm not rich either.And just so you know, I'm not plastic and i'm not saying that you are...Btw, Which is more wonderful and admirable? To see Filipinas remaining simple and contented with what they have. OR to see Filipinas hooking up with foreigners and just trying their best to get by?
Maybe you are just too good and I am not. But I hope, with your justification of the behavior of SOME, will not increase them in number.
i am married with saudia but never experience the bad impression of any one. maybe because i am wearing the black abaya whenever we go out or maybe because my husband is a Muttawa.
to mrlebaneseman, where did you get that idea? as your name implies, your so superficial.
heheh guys i read a lot of discussions and opinions in this thread, just want to give some tips that all human beings was made, have the rights to find their own happiness. consider yourself that your on her side...whoever you are.
intelligent person hahahah...LOL
what of a rich Japanese girl marrying an average British guy?
a Spanish lady marrying a Malaysian guy?
a Qatari guy marrying a female Westerner?
who's golddigging who? and what has morals got to do with it?
broaden your thinking, kids. Educate your judgments.
thanks, tess. how you perceive things says a lot about what is inside a person. people like LebaneseMan and indigo res, pass judgment as quickly as they pass gas.
i beg to differ, indigo res. the filipinas you have met, known or heard of, who behave improperly and makes choices lacking in morals, is the minority.
majority of us are educated, decent, and happy people. you just have met a few, and that's not the majority.
regardless of morals, we contribute our hard work to this country and the rest of the world.
the ones who say we are considered sex objects are those who used one or more.
its so funny to see that philipinas with old (i mean very very old) western boyfriends. I thinks thats what its called falling in love (yes everyone loves to take an insurance policy).
Philipinas in general have an image of low morale values and every one considers them as sex object. This is due to majorities and I feel sorry for the minority that suffers from that.
Yes, I also agree with Om Maui that the Filipinas live with foreign boyfriends or husband much older than them the way you didn't like. Of so many filipinas I have known in my entire life (many of them especially here in the gulf), just like foreigners (or even married Filipino Engineer) for common reasons...they wanted to have a ride, they love to received gifts, to save and be able to send more money to philippines, they wanted to have those personal stuff they could barely buy for themselves and even just for fun...Admit it, we all know that these kind of Filipinas are ""really really a pain in the ass"".
So Iren try to broaden your mentality and stop blaming others.
hi neelia, i'm glad you came to this thread. As you apparently are a self-sufficient educated woman, I would like to send this message to you: as a Filipino, you should know that our country has difficult situations, and these ladies you condescend are trying their best to get by. I'm not condoning them, but neither do i have a right to condemn them. be thankful that you are not in the situation as they, that compel them into such act. you have put yourself on a pedestal, sizing them up and then looking down on every other filipina who isn't like you.
some people are forced into situations they would otherwise be. i have the same profile as you, 34, unmarried, completely self-sufficient, well educated. but this has not earned me the right to condescend my fellow filipinas who have (not necessarily ARE) less than what i have, and behave less than what is respectable.
hi iren! just ignore narrow minded people, as long as you know love is the reason for both of you being together no worries then......you are not alone:)
Hi Iren, I appreciate your effort in posting your predicament. And honestly, you draw my attention. I'm a Filipina, singe at 35, not counting boyfriends, Christian and hardworking - earned all of my material possesion - house, car and household items by myself. And yes, I'm like the people you disliked- I too look at the Filipinas with foreign boyfriends or husband much older than them the way you didn't like. Of so many filipinas I have known in my entire life (many of them especially here in the gulf), just like foreigners (or even married Filipino Engineer) for common reasons...they wanted to have a ride, they love to received gifts, to save and be able to send more money to philippines, they wanted to have those personal stuff they could barely buy for themselves and even just for fun...Admit it, we all know that these kind of Filipinas are ""really really a pain in the ass"". I hate them for ruining the filipina image. BUT, you just said so about love, and I AGREE with you! It does exist for couple with different nationalities. Now when you are out there with your HUBBY, when you see people staring at you, MAYBE they are like me - gauging, sizing up and feeling if what you're flaunting for all people to see is TRUE??? TIP - dress smartly( less skin more advantage and proper), talk in English proficiently, act in a professional manner and smile and greet them politely in few tagalog words - and they would say, 'oh smart woman make smart choices'.
Hannah Montana is really pi**ed off because she is so ugly so no rich westerner will ever choose her for a date...
:)
Then, who cares about what the others are thinking???
On the other hand, if your truly love is not just truly love but also have a material part involved, you will feel the same anywhere in the world, even if is nothing in reality...
Iren - if you have nothing to hide, hold your head up high and walk like you belong!
Although my husband & I are both British born, people assume I'm with my husband for money because he is white & i am not. People stare at us when we're out all the time and my husband would get annoyed and confront people. I'll say the same to you as I said to him... I am proud to be married to my husband and I am even prouder that we have produced a beautiful son - I will walk with my head up high, because we married each other because we love each other, no other reason. People who stare are not staring because they are disapproving of us, but because they are curious.
BTW - I'm of indian origin and it not only the indian men staring at me its also the filipinos.
Be proud of your relationship and don't let bigots bring you down!
"Opinions are like bottoms - neither should be shown in public"
if u r walking out of line , everybody will look at you !
but if you have confedence , you'll not even pay attention to their looks !
let them stare,let them eat their hearts out lolssss....
hehehe guys i smell something fishy
intelligent person hahahah...LOL
....paging for mr lebaneseman, please come back on this thread so i can have a heart to heart talk with you. would you look differently if a non-philipina girl marries a foreigner???
...listen to the sound of silence....
Dear Hannh, it was mere an example. which reflect the situation.
Suppose a Phillipina marry with a Britisher or American boy they will definitely be the attraction of public. It depends on the mentality of that couple wheather he think positive or negative abt public.
I always respect the love and emotions of other peoples and expect the same from others also.
not everyone who marries a westerner is golddigging, LebaneseMan. people can marry someone from other own nationality for money, as well, except that it's easier to make that judgment on feamle asians, isn't it?
what if they are just regular couples who happen to belong to have been born in different countries?
...oh my gosh, mr lebaneseman, if the lady is not from philippines, is it ok to marry a foreigner?
...listen to the sound of silence....
you don't know the OP personally to assume that she married him for money.. how judgmental.. :/
marie_2 it matters coz it seems she married him only for money as most filipinas do
mr lebaneseman, does it matter? anyway, i think it was mentioned earlier already
...listen to the sound of silence....
Why dont Iren tells us about his nationality and age?
.....i envy you for having a good marriage... let them stare
...listen to the sound of silence....
Hanna Montana = Drywood
______________________________________________
- Listen to Many...Speak to a Few -
Iren, those stare or look could mean a lot of things. ask yourself what your own perception is of others in the same situation. how DO you look at other filipinas with westerners?
i just have to say to Hannah Montana, you sound so naive. you have instantly predicted that this lady with a western guy is on an average earning 2,500-3,000 per month. What you do not know is that there are a good number of us who are earning x times more than that. But your condescending mind cannot possibly conceive that, right? Educate your opinion, girl.
..just ignore those people and be happy with your husband wherever you go..
those guys when they were attractive then they would have least been 8 years old... they were way to young to have met them.
The other funny thing at the Enrique concert was that those girls started crying when they saw Enrique.
Anyways no one is perfect lets us not judge, do not judge so that judgment may not been bestown on us.
If both parties get something out of the deal then what is the issue.
I anyway prefer older men is they now how to treat ladies.
ha ha.
BritExpat. I was just expecting that from someone.
I hope this doesn't turn into bashing for us old men who go out with eastern women :O)
Thanks for sharing! May you and your family have health wealth and prosperiety.

whatever you mention its not only with you its with many couple.But to give only about indian is not fair. i also merry with filipina and we are almost 10yrs now having two kids. we met here in qatar and we get merry here also.but we never bother what people thinking and saying.even many filipino guys try to change my wifes mind again me coz of my nationality. but she didnt bother. today grace of god i am having good job good position and still when ever we go mall people look at us but its not bothering us we even dont care what they think. i love my wife and she loves me.so nothing importent around us.may be you are guilty to marry other nationality. thats why its bothring you. againg dont only blame indians.

Did you consider the fact that those men might have been attractive when these women started seeing them? Would you have thought differently if the women were from some other country?

u will be PARANOID and UNHAPPY...
MyHotComments
of a asian woman with a western guy especially if he is triple her age, love doesnt really come to mind.
when i went to the Enrique concert i saw the most two gorgeous beautiful phillipino woman with two huge old big humangous texas men and i looked at those poor woman and i just didnt see what attracted them to those guys?
... sounds like a woman scorned. Either that or ignorant! She can really spell - no doubts about that!
ignore and be happy!
iren , don't mind how these people look at you..i understand your feelings as a woman.nevermind them.as long as you never did anything wrong then there is nothing to be ashame of.be strong sweety..allah bless you.:)

we always make decisions in life. And usually, we choose what best or what's good or whatever! Live the life you choose. Anywhere you go, you'll live with it and the consequence of it! No need to react violently, it's your life not there's, not our's. All the best regards to you and to your husband! Good evening!
"I'm back, simple as that"
iren, be loyal to your husband, love him till he becomes bankrupt.
sometimes you are just being paranoid and observant at people around you because of you yourself is still awkward to be with somebody different from your nationality.
Believe me ,i've been to your situation before and had a fight with some filipino idi*t guys at souq. Don't get too affected with them.
it must be really hard for u guys...but cant blame other people..they really look down on filipina marrying other nationality..even your own kababayan may abhor u.. they never realize the good qualities of a filipina instead they think immediately about sex and money...to other filipina hope you guys will also respect your self by the way you dress and the way u behave in public places even if Qatar is open country still its a muslim country...
I salute filipino when it comes to work and camaraderie...
oh oh.. so gadarene is a philosopher too.
Gadarene: You are right she is definitely bitter about something...
Hannah being a philosopher means earning money for speaking nonsense all day.
iren, sorry if you are offended. did not mean that.
We are NOT rich if we have to pay QR 2.5 million for the average middle class home in Europe. This is a lot of salaries in Qatar if you can do the math
navdak, I have great interest in philosophy, it fascinates me. Your profile says you are a philosopher. What is it?
@ Iren,don't bother replying to hannah montana...just track his/her/it's posts & you'll see what i mean...
I never said you are wrong, I just said it's interesting. I just explained how I would look at it.
Montana you are such an air head it is not even worth replying to your messages
dmigtysolomon, No insults to anyone. Just speaking my mind. I could be wrong.
my average is the average how a woman calculates for her share. It is correct even 'mathematically'
Who is keeley or drywood? You always knew? drunk?
is that an insult or what? Does a young woman like you see things that way? Is that your belief? What will say next, you are better than us? That westerners are better than us? Shame on you! Do not insult my kabayan! Your thinking is way below the forum's discussion!

Have you been to the West and seen the cost of living there? You may be awed by the 50,000 but by the time you look at the savings left at the end of the month you are not rich if you take that back to a country where a can of coke costs QR 7 and a liter of gasoline costs QR 9
Hannah Average Income = (50,000+2500)/2= 26,250
You have an interesting way to do maths.

Now you don't say that I was wrong.. he is getting 49,000k and you earn 3,000k!
Not stereotyping actually. Western expats earn much more than others in the gulf. You both are working but there is a difference. You man is drawing 50,000k per month and you 2,500k..
YOUR average income is 51250k!
Nobody should judge you,you're absolutely right about that but just like every coin has two sides,the other side to this coin is the fact that MANY of your fellow kabayans are with non-filipino guys ONLY for their money & a LOT of them are visible in this country for two reasons:-
1) the high % of professional 'single'(maybe married but here on a year or two year contract without family) men.
2)the high % of 'single'(again maybe married with kids but not living here) filipino women.
So the chances of the above mentioned kind of relationship materializing is fairly high,so if your fellow kabayans are setting a precedent for these kind of judgemental looks,what you should be doing is mentioning that in your post as well & your post should actually say something on the lines of "just because a lot of my fellow kabayans hook non-filipino men because of their paychecks doesn't mean all are like that & onlookers,be they male/female,Indian/or any nationality shouldn't judge me just by looking @ me."...There are cases coming up every single day @ the Indian embassy of distraught Indian wives,sometimes with kids,having been abandoned by their Indian husbands who have just left them & are now having affairs with filipino women & in most cases,these women are aware that these men are married & have kids but thinking nothing of breaking up the marriage...so Iren,tell me something & please don't get me wrong,i'm only asking you this question since you chose to point a finger specifically @ Indians,why is that in almost ALL of these cases,the women in question are Filipino?...it's 50% the man's fault you may say & i fully agree,what i'm asking about is the other 50% that's your kabayan's fault...
Why do Kabayans make fun of you ?
Iren I am sorry but you are calling them "things". No matter how good or bad someone is, they are still humans and yes, you are judging them.
second the motion, navdak!
"Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship"
It would be better if you mentioned the nationality of the person to whom you are married. Because if you look like a joker pair , then ofcourse the crowd would like to take a look.
The best thing is to avoid looking at others.
Navdak: Calling things by their name is not being judgemental.
To Hannah: You are stereotyping here. What makes you think that a westerners immediately translates into a rich guy? If we had money we would not be both working here.
navdak you are so wise.
Iren I am sorry but you have been judging people since your very first post on this thread, calling them racists, bigots and what not when you don't even know why they were looking at you is judging them. They also are judgemental for the very same reasons that you are.
I am so jealous that you have trapped a rich guy Iren.
It is people who behave this way that make you wonder at times if there is something wrong with you or if you have committed a sin? Why do they look at us like an oddity and make us feel not comfortable being around them? Of course we are not odd or wrong. Why can't people just accept others as they are??? What makes them better or gives them the right to judge us?
We should have a group or a society for all the philippinos who have different nationality asawa, i'll be a member.
.
.How come when a girl dates a rich guy everybody calls her a gold digger?
Well if you have dated rich people in the past then people might get the idea that you just like the person for their money!
BUT think about it this way, if this person had NO money...his dad lost his job and his mom got sick so they had to pay for hospital bills would you still like him?
if the answer is NO...WELL you pretty much are.
.
but if the answer is YES, then ignore the rude and JEALOUS poeple calling you that.
Be honest with yourself and try and do something to stop if you are.

Talk to my crown......

Philippinos are not jelous, they are good and should be proud to themselves, she is not talking about jelousy, its curious indian ppl no more.
Agree with you Iren. Marriage is not a few months thing it must be solid enough to last a lifetime and until you find someone better.
mdshababkhan, who is lion and who is cat in this case?
This is sooo shallow. What matters is love, understanding and compatibility. Marriage is not a few months thing it must be solid enough to last a lifetime.
Only thing that comes to mind is that they are retards, morons, racists and biggots that can't understand that love knows no boundries.
Sometimes I feel pity for them.
maybe.. other Filipinos are jealous
Friends, In this world every body wants publicity free of cost and she is getting what she want.
In my opinion this marrige was an intentional act of publicity stunt.
e.g. My friends it is obvious that if a cat and a lion with walk togather this will be of course a drammatic scene for all public....not only for i*****t
Just think abt it...
Maybe they are glances of admiration and not stares. Just give a positive twist to things..
Nationality does not matter as long as he is from Western Europe or the US for some girls.
Have you ever thought why people stare at you? There must be a reason.
To Miley Cyrus,
What does it matter what nationality he is?????Yes, He is a westerner but we are of similar age.
Its frustrating to hear those side comments but it's your life and your relationship with your husband is what's important.
You live your life you see fit...those i***ts are just sourgraping...hehehehe
What is your man's nationality and age. Old Westerner?
We are planning to have a baby but given we have no relatives here to help us with the kids and we both work this is an option that will probably happen only when we move to the Philippines.
the only way to prove that you love him is to make a baby and show it to all kabayans... heheehe im sure they will love you too...hehehe
intelligent person hahahah...LOL
... I just adore that quote you have! How can I get that onto my posts? I want it please :)))
hehehe iren they remove my msgs MHALES hahaha ill send it to you by mail
intelligent person hahahah...LOL
Just ignore them
--------------------------------------------
Never argue with an idiot,they drag you down to their level and they beat you with experience
Alumnar lol never :)
Nothing is more relaxing than flying like an Eagle in Heaven !!
again n again. filipinas like any other women from other nationality. some have bad reputations and i doubt that this is correct but people think that a couple of different origins (u can deduce that from the look) are together bekoz they r in relationship (sex). their conscience think like this. they doubt that the couple are married. my friend is lebanese. he is married to a filipina now for 4 years. they r happy but they keep facing this problem here in qatar, lebanon .. everywhere.
i feel sorry for that as well ...
it's really a bad perception created by others. It's your life and you have to live with it. Or else......
"Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship"
Hello! Are you gonna behave with me tonight??? ;)
As for the original poster - don't listen to others, don't let them affect you. They are ignorant and don't deserve a second of your attention or worry. You love your husband, who cares what nationality he is? There ARE a lot of marriages which work NOT based on money, but hey, try telling that to small minded people...!
Keep your head high and look down on those people. They will soon get the message!
Alumnar lol gone :)
Stanley, you comment is gonna go poof!!! counting... 3 - 2 - 1 - GO!!!
I don't know what " Nakabingwit Si Kabayan Ng Malaking Isda" means, but people will always feel its their right to pass judgement. Let it wash over you.. ignore it!

Warm_heart. This is for you. Do you know that most Asians, American, Europeans and Arabs in Qatar contrubuted in variuos ways for the innocent people who were displaced in Philippines due to the floods? I don't blame all Philippino's. But you in particular is very ungreatful. Give a thought about it cold heart.Don't blame any race or nationality.
take it like this every time it happens. they envy you as beautiful couples. (inggit lang kau) lolz
don't bother to mind those kind of peoples.the next time those peoples stares at you,just simply ask them a big "YES"?
i know the feeling... some of them are just envious, and some are just plain narrow-minded, because they think they're just after the husband's money, which may be true BUT only in some cases mind you.. there is nothing more that can be done about these people who have such mentality.. just forgive them, they don't know what they're doing..
Iren Who cares whom are you married to and whom are you sleeping with. As if Indians has nothing better to do. Get a life and be carefull when you abuse people by religion,race and nationality on a public forum.
warm,heart which Indian did screw your 455 you looser? you have been crying allover against them.
*********
watch n have fun
But sometimes it so depressing. My husband asked me "where in the world we can go so we dont see this i*****t people?"
Make sure that the problem is not u and ur asawa, the problem is the indians, so! no need to worry.
this is normal specially here. just ignore 'em & live ur life...
just ignore.. they don't know any better..
sure this will go a long long way AGAIN...!

Wen i used to walk with my philippina gf even in Thailand all the indians were looking in a bad and impolite way, they r like that, just ignore them, i think no hope with them, sorry but this is the truth.
