i have this aunt of mine who's recently dating a 49-year-old irish. she's a filipino and just separated from her husband last april.
i don't know if their relationship would be successful. i mean, she hasn't even filed the annulment papers. and the irish dude already had these plans of moving in with my aunt, who happened to have 3 children with her former husband. i just think it's too fast. what do you think?

Inter racial relationship is not bad if there is no motive behind. Most ladies who dated foreigners are into different issues. Most ladies just wanted to change their life styles and improve thier lives that is why they are into inter racial relations. In the case of your aunt, she is the only one who knows her motive. I am not sure if she is serious with her relationship with the Irish man or she just do it for revenge from her former husband. You did not state the reason of her separation with your uncle. If she will be successful in her relationship with the Irish? we don;t know yet. Only the future can tell.

i'm pretty sure my aunt does not want the guy's money.. she's earned more than enough for her family to live comfortably.. i don't know if it's love. when i look at her while having their vacation here, she seemed deep in thought whenever we were with my other aunts and my grandma.. but when they're not around, she seems quite contented.. maybe she's worried about what other people might think of her..

The question is.... does her irish boyfriend knew that she was married? If not! she better told him if she chooses to be with him. And if he is really true for her then he will make a move! if there is LOVE!

he knows she was recently "separated".. but he never met the former husband.. actually, he, too, had 4 children. it didn't seem to be a problem to them..

Okay I have to be honest here and say that I dont see how this situation is the least bit an inter-racial issue at all...The way your aunt andthis guy are going about things has nothing to do with race in the slightest...

i don't know. the guy's irish. i don't know how they handle their families. i have a lot of questions on my mind. like, does men like him inflict physical pain to children and wives as a form of punishment. or, id he even sane? or how he acts when he's drunk. do they like long term relationships?... no idea..

hello virna_lee! I am into inter - racial relationship too. I am a filipina and my husband is american. It work out well to us but the difference is I am single and never been married before. Are they both (your aunt and irish guy) living here in the Philippines? If that's the case, it really doesn't matter if it's too fast or not as long as they love each other. When love strikes us, we only want to to be with someone we love. Just be happy with your aunt because she already moved and that she still found a man who will truly love her. An age like your aunt who has 3 children would find it difficult to find a man.

actually, they live in Ireland. But they're planning on retiring here in the philippines. I only want my aunt to be happy. I can't help but worry about her. her boyfriend seems nice though..

It is very fast indeed.Your aunt must think twice before embarking into another relationship, it is too early since her relationship with her husband is not yet fully disbanded. It's so nice if she must spend her life thinking what should be done and fixed everything in her surroundings. She must think the welfare of her kids above her own happiness.

There are occassions on which inter-racial relationships work far better than non-inter -racial relationships. This may be because in inter-racial relationship, you come to know of an entirely different culture itself. but in non-inter-racial relationship, we are stuck to the same culture.
