My Husband is a Foreigner, But i am not an ATM machine...

This is really sad and annoying. Because most people sees foreigners as money- yes, ATM. Maybe some foreigners indeed are rich and won't mind wasting money- but not every foreigners are filthy rich...some just have enough money to spend for luxury- but don't have too much extra.

We can't blame people to think that way, as our history tells us, we are once had a naval base full of Americans and most of them are money spenders, as a result people wanted to have foreigners as husbands specially Americans. I don't mind if people think this way because its kind of part of our culture now, the bad side of this is that some are purposely seducing foreigners and if they fall with them, they just get money from them just like an ATM machine.

I am an American female. I am not sure of this from your point of view, nor from the point of view of an American male. I suppose you mean that American Males seem to believe that Phillipino women have money. I wouldn't know, but I suppose any person who believe this is a chavunist. For places to treat you differently with or without your husband is preposterous.

This is one of the common misconception about marrying a foreigner. They always look at you to have much money. Sometimes, they are also giving you much attention when with him at some establishments. This is really the irony of life.

Well, many people think that foreigners are the rich all, it happens in here also...it is not easy to change their mind...because they may never go aboard yet. Foreigners or anyone who have to work hard to earn money also and there are rich and poor people everywhere. What i see clearly..is on flights. Vietnamese stewards are always nice with foreigners but not nice with Vietnamese passengers. It is a reason why i never speak Vietnamese on international flights when stewards are Vietnamese.

well, to say friend, the conception of getting a foreigner husband would means lots of monies. this thing would make you appreciable in times you hang with your husband when you are in the midst of the crowd. it is not pleasant to hear but naturally, you cannot erase the thought and the title being entailed to you and to your husband. you know what, do not give a damn. as long as you knew that you are not doing any mistakes that may hurt them. be proud because you are lucky of your possession. they are just being jealous about it. not of all seeking a foreigner marriage had won through it and had it. act normally and stay in love with your husband :)

I think the similar situation may also occur here. The economy still rules the world. So if you come from a rich country like America, no matter you are rich or not, other people think you are rich. Especially when you go to the poor countries. I love China

I think it is always true when it comes to poor countries, because of poverty, morals are easily forgotten and moneys becomes the #1 priority. And I hate people in my country for thinking this way. But I cannot blame those types of people, in the hierarchy of needs, food and clothing comes first. But I still believe that working hard is better than s*cking other people's money.

It's ironic, but true, here in the Philippines. Majority of the people think that Filipino women marry foreigners merely for financial security. They think all foreigners moving in the country have tons of dollars. That's why they treat them in a very special way, aside from the fact that they are afraid of making them angry or disappointed. Imagine how difficult it will be to fight with a foreigner twice your height and size! Lol. Don't feel bad about it girl. Most people are actually just jealous of you, especially if they can see that you are very happy with him. Not all women are successfully married, either with a local or a foreigner. Don't mind other people's comments, as long as you're happy and in love with him, and he to you, your relationship should be able to out stand those jealous detractors. =)

That's the wrong interpretations of the people around us. It's on their minds already that if you have a foreigner as your husband then you have a lot of money that's why you are entertain well. We can say that they are opportunist. It's sad to say that fairness that is stipulated on our law has been overriden for personal interest.

It is a culture thing, they perceived people of based on their expectations. There are some people that are so traditional, setting many do's and don'ts. In some other countries, they don't allow it to get married with other nationalities. If you do, you are outcasted. Things change, but we might just ignore the culture thing in some point.
