Interesting perspective...

[Zebson]

My fiance and I have been cleaning out a bunch of boxes and things upstairs in my attic. Helen comes along a box with an old Cherry blossoms issue. She takes it and walks away. I am thinking: "Uh oh...I really messed up leaving that thing around in these old boxes". Then I walk up to her and shes reading the different womens profiles. I said is everything alright, she says..Yes..I just like reading about them and what they say..I said, Your not upset or angry? No, no.. not at all, this is interesting to me..So even now as I write this she is looking at it and asking me questions about all of these agencys..What a trip!

She's really saying to herself "Gee, all these beautiful girls and he choose ME!"

Zeb,

My wife did the same thing with an old CB issue - she seemed very interested by it.  I don't know what the facination is.  Maybe it's a feeling of comraderie with those who brave the unknown by jumping into this MOB business; maybe she likes to critique the faces and self-descriptions of fellow Filipinas; maybe she wonders about the other, far-away side of this business because, for years, she's known only the whispered rumors of her friends.

I think Helen and I need to talk, LOL

We're in Orange County and you're in San Bernandino. It would be nice if Jeff and Mariko can come too.

Yep...I know what you mean.

Since Tess has been here she has gone with me to work and helped around my one-man law office.

Twice since she has been here I have had ladies call me from the phils to talk to me....and Tess is sitting 5 feet away.

I just talk to them and tell the lady about how I am now married to a wonderful woman.  She takes it in stride.

I made the BIG mistake of throwing out all the old photos of past girl friends neatives too before my wife arrived here. Most were years old dating back to highschool. Lots of fond memories gone...
I knew how INSANELY jealous filipina women are, they would had caused many a tampo bouts.

Now that I am Divorced I would love to  have those old photos back!  My avice here is put those photo away somewhere she won't EVER find them like a relitives house ect... 20 or 30 years from now IF your still together chance are she will no longer be jealous and you can pull them out.  Nerver throw out part of your life like this!  It's not like you will be lusting after these old girl friends its part of your past !   Humabdos

Yea Hum, last night she even found some old letters with photos too, from my first back and forth correspondances to PI... I told her before she could say anything, I'll toss those...She says; no, I want to read them.  Well ok I said, but don't get jealous...He he. Helen is really something else, she was even surfing the internet yesterday and pulls up lingerie sites and starts going through checking out the different styles of lingerie on these women..I was just standing behind her smiling. She was saying, Ohhhh and Wow, and what do you think of that, to me...I just said those  would even look better on you dear...Ha ha.

Hi Hum,

Very good advice. I think if the lady is so jealous that she can't deal with your past, the marriage won't last anyway. At least that was true in my case also.

When I was in the Philippines, my ex and her husband stayed at my house, to watch the kids. She had sold her house and the closing on her new house was several weeks away. I wasn't happy, but it was the only way I could go. My fiancee's photos are all around the house. To have a little more fun, I put out some photos of the ladies I had dated since our divorce. All were much younger than her (35). Most were in their mid late 20's, several in their early 20's. My ex was a little tight jawed when I called to check on the kids and made several comments. When I got back, she tried to lecture me on the evils of dating women "young enough to be my daughter." I told her my formula: A/2 (my age divided by 2). She lost it! I laughed and told her to mind her own business. She responded that she was trying too look out for the good of our kids. LOL

I have a buddy, 52 who married a Mexicana, 21 about a year ago in Tijuana. He moved her up here a couple months ago. His oldest daughter, 30 tossed away all of his wedding pictures. I did the photography and kept the negs, so was able to reprint them, but geez, I guess she doesn't like it at all.

Dave, when we were going through my photo albums..There were lots of questions about the pictures of different girl friends I had. Like; So how many girl friends have you had? etc..I just have to be honest and say, Well they were nice..but not as nice to want to spend the rest of my life with. It's tough sometimes in reflection to have someone elses eyes look at your life and then you have to re-assess how all these things happened and all the different experiences. I just figure as you guys were talking about, we have to live with ourselves and be at peace and if someone really loves you, they will accept you for your past, present and future, Lord willing..Right?
