Ending our long distance relationship

10 replies

Last year, I joined AFA’s romance tour in the Philippines. I enjoyed the attractions, food, and even the hospitality of the people.
But most of all, this tour was the main reason I met Jolina, my girlfriend.
Jolina is a very loving, sophisticated, and kind. I met her during the tour’s social night.

After that, I asked her out and we decided to be exclusive.

I visited her every two months in the Philippines.
We get along together. We are a perfect match. I am so sure about that. I’ve also met her family already.

Again, the hospitality is always present in the Filipino culture.
We’ve been in a long distance relationship for a year. At first, it was fine but in the long run it became difficult.
I want to see her all the time. I want to be with her already!

I want to marry her ASAP!

Long distance kills me. So I’m planning to propose to her on my next visit.
I don’t care if it will cost much to me, my purpose is to marry her.

I know y’all knows what it feels to be in a long distance relationship.
So do you think it’s time already to propose to her?

What advices would you want to give me regarding the state we’re in today?
Your responses are very much appreciated.

so you are planning to bring her back to the UK?
you need to look at the immigration policy very carefully - it has got very strict recently, especially for spouses outside the EU.

Your diction sounds American. If so check US immigration policy

flimp · 21/12/2017 08:53

Something is sitting right with this for me.

Sorry to dampen your fireworks

THIS ^^^
I do know someone this has worked out for.
But for many people it really doesn't.

I'm presuming she's Filipino? In what circumstances did you meet her? You say you fly to see her every 2 months for a year, how long do spend with her?
There are too few details to comment on whether it's too soon to propose or not. Family background? Her job? Your job? How often you talk between trips? Does she want to live in your country? Would you live in hers?
Remember love is blind, and rather gullible.

Your diction sounds American. Really? I think his diction sounds school holidays.

AFA "romance" tour?

Fucking grim.

Replace the word "romance" with "chance for wealthy man to be set up with women in poorer countries like Ukraine and Philippines who are desperate for a better life and are prepared to sell their bodies and souls for that".

I don't judge the women.
I judge the sad arseholes like yourself who exploit their vulnerability* instead of relying on their personality to pair off with one of the many women in their own country.

*and before anyone says these women are happy with the choice, or exploiting sad fuckers from richer countries, even where that is the case - it doesn't detract from the fact that "romance tours" are designed to exploit financial differences.

What kind of cunt goes on them?

This is a site that support women, so I think you should piss off.
