My BF is not a source of income. Why can't people understand that?

A lot of people out there are still old fashioned and think that it should be the guy working not the girl. I got all kinds of comments when my husband was a stay home dad with my son. They would ask "What does your husband do?" When I said "stay home dad", they always looked disapproving. I liked working but now that health problems are preventing it, I am trying to work from home. He is also trying to earn some money from the computer and I am taking classes online too. I too get tired of the comments that people say.

dont mind them. they just envy you. maybe they want to have a br foreigner too! :D

A lot of us, Filipinos, think that just because you're in a relationship to a foreign guy, they would already depend on him because they thought he has a lot of money. Sometimes they'd say that you're so very "lucky" because of that. I'd say that's totally BS. Can't they work their own a*s off and not to depend on anyone even if it's a foreigner?

they should update their way of thinking, we live in 2010 already! nowadays women don't need men to support them anymore... -_-

Hi there, please allow me to share my view regarding Fiipinas (some) who seek a foreign man for marriage. Many Filipinas seek work abroad. Since few Philippine women have the skills or disposable income to pay an overseas employment agency, finding a "husband" as "employer" often is the "job of last resort". Knowing a Pinay's true motivations for marriage and her family is essential to avoid a love misrepresentation. The movie Closer To Home is an excellent example of hidden underlying motivations that lead to fraud in the name of love.

Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions." -- Albert Einstein

Hey , first of all if you know what you are then why you ask people or try to listen them?? If you listen to them then it surly gonna hurt you because different people having different thought so you better know why you have a bf and you only know how much you love him. So forget about others coz they talk without knowing the reality.. take care

One word: Envy. Happy myLotting :D

I hate those people too. I've never had a foreigner boyfriend, but I do have relatives working abroad and I know what it's like when other people see their relatives abroad as people who are obliged to give them money. If it were me I'd just tell them to get lost.

I haven't dated a guy like that before because of my family background. Just not something I would do. Unless I just found someone that took me away. (emotionally physically and met my needs for me. What I would suggest is just to forget what they say and if they keep it up tell them that you have your own money and it's not the money you are after that if it were you wouldn't be with him because you would be with someone who had a lot of money like Donald trump money. lol. Sometimes it works. just thought I'd offer it up. thanks.

Just ignore what they say.. ^^ Although it is not easy. Just pretend that you don't hear anything. Because foreigner has bigger money than local people have! Haha.. Just like in my country. They think they make easy money, but actually it is just the same..

I think because it was already in our culture or mentality that most Filipino women are automatically rich when they will marry a foreign boyfriend but of course they must realize that not all men who went here in the Philippines are already rich. Other than that there are really other Filipino women who marries foreigner for the purpose of being stable in life to the extent that many people are thinking that way automatically. The problem is others are being narrow minded on that concept already without thinking that we have fallen in love and it just so happens that he is not the same nationality as yours.

well that's how people think to others, its really hard to accept it all we need is to understand them or just don't mind them and do our things. I think they are only concern with you if they give advice, but if their intention to criticize you then just don't mind them and let them bark and bark.
