To Be with a Non-Filipino A Sin?

iren
By iren

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?

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!

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.

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.

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"

By kinimoto• 18 Nov 2009 10:24

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.

@ 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?...

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.

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 ?

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.

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?

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).

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.

By om Maui• 3 Nov 2009 11:25

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, 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'.

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!

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?

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.

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.

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.

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...

if the answer is NO...WELL you pretty much are.
