    As a man, I would say that you must consider your responsibilities to the woman and her child when you enter their lives. You need to make sure that you don't hurt their long term life prospects. If you have determined that the love and respect from the woman is genuine and you have the respect of her family, I believe the man is responsible to add to their lives in a positive way. The foreign man's financial situation is most likely to be at a much higher level than the woman and her family. So, if the man chooses to become part of their lives, he needs to plan for the woman and her child's security and future. If there is mutual respect, the man will find satisfaction in this endeavor and the bond he creates with the woman and her child.

      There's a flaw in this logic. A male choosing to be a stepdad with no rights to her kids has very low self-esteem. For some reason they don't feel they deserve to have kids of their own. Kind of a eunuch complex.
      A male with this issue is going to have a very hard time judging others. A male who doesn't respect themselves is never going to be respected by others and because of this will have no ability to tell if other respect him. Instead he'll create some crazy measure of respect. Like he'll buy a Filipina's parents a bunch of stuff and assume that buys respect and love. But the opposite is true. Filipinos don't marry single moms or support another man's kids. They make fun of stupid foreigners who throw away their money and partner up with single moms.
      However, such guys really have no choice. Their low self-esteem forces them to rationalize why raising another man's kids is a great idea.

This was the best decision I ever made! We never did have a child between the 2 of us, but that did not matter!

    Hi Chrissy, totally agree with you. I met my wife in HK, I was getting on the inter-Island ferry as she was getting off. That was 26 years ago. after a few dates she was upfront and told me she had a son, living with her parents in Isabela while she worked in HK as a helper to support them. Seems the boy's father who she married did a runner when the real wife and 4 kids arrived on their doorstep!! Anyway, after we were married in 2005 I brought the boy to HK and adopted him. He's now 27 and running a bar in a French Michelin star restaurant in HK. Later my wife's youngest sister passed away leaving two small girls 1 & 4. The father went off the rails and himself died shortly after. I adopted both girls and brought them to HK. The eldest is now working and living with her partner, very happy, and the youngest I still have 2 more years at international school while she takes her A levels then off to Uni. Sometimes we struggle, but I wouldn't change anything for all the tea in China. Our son has also given us a beautiful grandson who my wife (Luz) spoils rotten. In fact Luz and James (Grandson) are on a flight today heading to Clark now, where I have a car waiting to drive them up to Isabela as it's school summer holiday in HK. Sadly, I'm working and our youngest has got a summer job so didn't want to go. It you truly love your partner then a child is a blessing. I'm now 67 and Luz is 58 and we are very happy. Hopefully one day we will get over to CDO. 😃

    Although not necessarily age related, men often fall victim to being O.L.D. (Overlooked, Lonely & Desperate).

      Six signs of a desperate and lonely "Pay Piggy"
      1. Retire after 20+ years of work, get financially ruined by the ex-wife and family court system, devise a plan to enjoy the 3rd/4th quarter of your life abroad, move to your chosen destination with the intent to live a simple life on the savings, and/or pension the courts were "kind" enough to leave you with.
      2. After arrival, fall in "Lust" and attach yourself to a young local woman with kid(s) because she makes you feel "young", abandon the plan that you laid out in step #1, put on the old "Step Dad" cape and assume the financial responsibility of raising kid(s) that you have no rights over while the real father is down the road gambling, smoking and drinking.
      3. Build a house for your new girlfriend/wife and let her extended family move in, pay for her kid(s) private school/college, buy braces for her mouth, a new iPhone for her social media addiction, and lots of sexually revealing clothes for her attention seeking nature. Provide an allowance to "upgrade" her lifestyle, provide her parents with a monthly allowance, buy the brother-in-law a motorbike, build and fund the sister-in-law a Sari-Sari store and pay for every party/fiesta that happens.
      4. Notice that your girlfriend/wife is becoming more distant, annoyed and combative towards you. You also notice that she has become more westernized, is surrounding herself with other westernized women and has become thirstier for online attention.
      5. Spend the majority of your lonely days struggling with the items listed in steps #3-4 until you become bankrupt, mentally exhausted or physically compromised due to stress.
      6. Rationalize steps #1-4 by saying. "She and her kid(s) should be left in a better position than when I found them" or "I can't take it with me" or "Someone has to step up to the plate and do the honorable thing" or "She loves me and will never betray me" or "It's just part of the culture for a foreigner to take care of her and her family" or "I am providing for her in "exchange" for companionship" etc...
      Gentlemen, take off your blinders and at least try to be honest with yourself. If you have relocated or are thinking about relocating to another country to find love then either you are now, are becoming or have been a Pay Piggy to some degree.
      "Present yourself as a Pay Piggy and get roasted like a Lechon.

    I am currently engaged to a Filipina who has a 10yo daughter. I'm in my 60's and have already raised 3 of my own children but I'm very glad to have the chance to be a father again to this wonderful girl. We are going through the K1 visa process right now, and that is stressful both emotionally and financially but we pray every day for the time when we will be together again and be a family. For all of the haters that think we western men are being manipulated I feel sorry for them. They have never known the love a truly good and Christian woman, and have never seen the adoration in the eyes of a child that has never had a father in her life. My own adult children are accepting of my new bride to be, and they are looking forward to welcoming a new "ate" into our family. I consider my life to be blessed by their presence, and I hope and pray for you and Rob to continue to be blessed as well.

      Hamburger B: Single woman I can father a cute daughter with.
      In both cases I have a cute daughter. Which do I choose? I pick Hamburger B.
      Why would I pick the single mom instead? It's not like there's only one Filipina in all of PH who would make a great partner. IMO what's going on is guys are getting online and falls for the first Filipina that is nice to him. And single moms are hitting the dating sites hard. Lots of single Filipinas working, going to college and don't have the time to be online 14 hours a day. Many singles moms have nothing but time to be on dating sites to get to these men before the Filipinas without kids. For the guys it's lazy dating.

    We Dominican men often prefer single mothers, particularly if they only have one kid and he/she is under 5...And we are also not shy to marry a former pros...Why? Because we understand women. A woman who has a child by an irresponsible man or a man who was abusive to her will appreciate your "caballerosidad" way more than a spoiled bougie girl living with mom and dad, particularly when that single mom sees that you don't judge her by her past or her mistake in choosing the tiguere that she chose...I was a teacher for many years and worked in a small touristy town and my students were between 18 and 32...the best girls in class were the pros...they behaved better BECAUSE of the already existing stigma towards what they do, which they try to conceal with very decorous and ladylike behavior...the 304s in my classes sending me invitations were the middle class girls with a nice husband or a handsome boyfriend...of course, as with everything in life you have to be picky...a single mom that finds a good man the second time in a country like the Philippines is well aware that this is something to cherish and protect...which is why they are so loyal...I would rather marry a Pinay pros from Angeles than any of my cowerkers at a lawfirm in NYC...no doubt...

    Most foreigners are older men who don't want children but do want a woman. What surprises me is that these men need to ask questions and be taught how to understand what Filipino women think about this. It seems as if they can't think independently. I would think that the most common scenario is that men who date women with children ensure that these children from previous relationships feel like they have a stepfather who cares about them, providing the best education in the Philippines and thus a better starting point in life ahead of them.

      Great video Chrissy. As a 55 yo divorced man, I'd like to address a couple of your scenarios.
      First, this priority thing. This is such a lame excuse, saying you won't be her priority. If you're married, with children, and your wife comes in the house to you and the children sick as a dog, who do you think she is going to prioritize? My hope would be the children, and this should be the result whether dad or step dad.
      I've been married twice. 1st wife had a son when we met and we has 2 boys together. 2nd wife had a son and daughter. No children together. In both instances I had full authority to discipline. It's not that rare. If you are a rational, fair, and trusted man, a woman will naturally let you lead, if you pick the right one. If you are a tyrant, or you pick a woman that has no expectations of her children, hell yes she's gonna waffle back and forth. And yes, I am divorced, but for entirely different reasons.
      Once a man has had children of his own, it is much easier to fall into a step dad role. For him, the priority of his mate and her child has to be equal to the priority he places on himself. Again, this all leads back to choosing the right woman, the man being aware and comfortable with his role, and accepting that she can truly love him enough to trust.
      To simply say no single mother is worth anything comes from a very immature, self-centered, black pilled, I'm alpha so I should be priority and lead no matter what, mindset, in my opinion.
      Many of these men aren't fit to lead a home unless the goal is to push it off a cliff. There is a huge difference between leading and ruling, and sadly, a lot of men can't tell you what that difference is.

    Hey Chrissy…I’ve enjoyed watching the video’s you and Rob produce and a couple of reasons I watch your videos is because of how informative they are and regardless of the topic. To me it’s easy to see the love and respect both of you have for each other because of the teamwork you both present in your videos. What a team you guys are together and it’s so satisfying to see the professionalism as well as the fun that you share together. You’re very intelligent Chrissy and so is Rob. I also agree with everything you said about the responsibilities of family in a loving relationship regardless that the children didn’t come from the two of you. When a man loves a woman from a failed marriage, being responsible for her children and loving them should be the natural choice in my opinion. In heaven there’s no such thing as orphans or unwanted children because God is love and He is the Father to everyone born on earth. His agape love for us is the most powerful love known to mankind and it’s endless. He is the example we should all be following. I wish the two of you continued success in everything the two of you strive for as a loving couple. Thank you again for another wonderful video.

    My now wife was a single mom in Davao when we met. I made it clear I could not give her any children because I got fixed a LONG time ago after having 4 of my own. Her son has never met his father, so he has known only me in that role. I have never asked my wife of 12 years anything about her past relationships, and frankly I was not interested in that part of her life when what I could observe for myself more than answered any important questions I had. I also did not have a problem with her (our) son and her parents being a higher priority for her, which is not to imply I am not a priority. We talked it out and I can understand why she feels that way. An example of what does not make sense is why I live in a place that has been over 120F for the past couple weeks.

    I’m 62. Can’t have children. Dating a single mom would be fine with me. She would probably be more mature than a young Filipina. Less likely to play games. My ex was a divorced mom. Her daughter became my daughter. We are very close even after the divorce. Yes I would consider a relationship with a single mom.

    Very insightful, my current wife has/had 2 children when we met, I put them through school and university, I’m no hero, if you accept a mother with children, be responsible, accept your decision. Willingly, or move on. Women with children come as a “package deal”, if they leave their children, they can leave you too. Loyalty becomes universal. Good luck with your choices. By the way. My decision has been very rewarding and it’s had its trying times. But in the end, I feel it’s been worth every moment.

    I think this sugar coats all the issues of becoming an instant family. As a man, you must understand that you will ALWAYS come "second" to her children, no matter what others may have you believe. That's how it's supposed to be. But, you need to know what you are getting into. Take into consideration all the additional costs, mentally, physically, monetarily, and everything in between. You have to sacrifice so much as well. If you are willing, then more power to you, but you should know that blood family will always come first. She loves you because you provide her so many benefits for herself and her child. She will never choose you over her flesh and blood. If she does, then she's not a worthwhile person.

      Even if we take your comment literally and at face value, don't you think Chrissy had a big enough heart for all? Rob is supporting the family, she doesn't really have to work though the UA-cam channel and consulting brings in some additional funds. So with him doing the traditional support role, she has more than enough time and capacity to be there for both him and her child. The boat just isn't sinking. I think in the West, when both parents work, the woman has multiple kids maybe from multiple men, and many are living paycheck to paycheck, and men are still somehow supposed to provide and do more chores and be a dad and everyone is divided against each other. . . what you said is more relevant because everyone is stretched so thin. Sometimes we in developed countries look down on developing countries but when you think about family dynamics, taking care of the elderly, social support from friends and family, having two-parent families raise kids. . . I think we could learn a lot from places like the Philippines. In case you didn't notice, the US is a hot mess right now.

      @@DrJamesBWood That's your assumption. No one, especially not me, is looking down on third world countries. I come from a poor family as well. I know the value of a dollar. But, reality is that there is a reason why Filipinos are looking for older and much more established men. They are reliable and able to provide for their additional family. It's not a diss, it's reality. You seem to be taking it a bit personal. It is an exchange. But, when you state that "you don't know who you are going to save, your son or husband." Come on! It is great that she is contributing and now she has more flexibility to do so. Her son is going to a private school. Something that your typical Filipino family can't afford. I have no love loss for the U.S. That's why I left. I never felt at home there. But, you have to be aware that it is transactional. It is very, very, very rare that she (or anyone) would choose a foreigner that is broke and can't provide. Young foreigners mostly provide looks and probably a "good time". That's why older men are very popular. They gain stability, upward mobility, and a "father figure". Western men get not to be lonely and have a purpose.

They appreciated greatly! I’m 53. Past the stage of wanting to change diapers. Because I was actually a stay at home dad. That was fun! But that stage is over.

    In the Philippines, under Philippine family law or child protective law, a man can't be alone in private or public unless it's one of his own blood. So, if you are married to a single mom, or living with a single mom, you can't ever be alone in the house or in public with that child without risking having a complaint filed against you at the local police department. This can happen in the event a jealous father of the child/children finds out his ex-gf is living with, or married to a foreigner who has financial assets and who is giving his ex-gf a better life. And, adoption can't be done unless the father is willing to sign over all rights to the child. The courts give the blood father full rights, even though he may or may not have given one pesos in support. There are situations in which the father of the child will demand money for signing over rights. Date or marry a single mom in which the father's name and signature is not on the child's birth certificate. If it is, then expect long and expensive legal process to locate the father, deal with him (if possible), and deal with the long and expensive legal hurdles to adopt a child in the Philippines.

    "In situations where tough choices have to be made, a single mother will often prioritize the well-being of her child over that of her husband. This is because she recognizes that her child needs more care and attention, while her husband is an adult who can take care of himself. Furthermore, the bond between a mother and child is stronger, as the husband may leave her, but the child will always be a part of her life."

      That's why it's a great responsibility for a man to take on this role. Most single mothers already have it in their minds that the man could leave at any time, so they subconsciously sabotage their relationships with the man by showing him how lesser of importance he is in the relationship. A humble single mom is what's needed for a successful relationship. Yet a lot of them walk around with their heads held high, almost as if they believe their Sexual marketplace value (SMV) is on the same level as a woman with no kids coming into a relationship.

    Very brave of you to do this video & it was well answered for the most part :). Couple of things though.
    1. What is the situation now with your former husband/partner? This issue (which I think is biggest for us foreigners) of how the ex partner is still involved in the child’s life is a HUGE potential problem. If they can come back at anytime & be fully in the child’s life it will cause many issues for the foreigner. The kid will not look at them as a dad like their own dad. I have heard a number of stories where everything was going great until the ex randomly chose to reenter the kids life & upheave the relationship between the foreigner & his wife. Surprised you never addressed this issue at all.
    2. What is Rob’s input in your child’s life now? Everything I have seen up to now has not had your child as part of anything. I believe you said he is living there but sleeps with grandparents? I’m curious what part Rob plays in your boys life if much at all? We don’t get to see him interact with your son ever, so I do wonder if he’s quite seperate from actually building a father/son connection or we just don’t see it? Would be nice to see some future vids if them together & see how they connect. I only say this as when I look at single mums with kids, I’m very curious to see how that connection does or doesn’t work.
    I know it’s a touchy subject but as you did the video I thought now is best time to ask. Thanks!

      I think I understand your point. Usually, in the west, the response women have to a man cheating is something like "Men are such dogs." But often when a woman cheats, the response women have is "Her husband didn't appreciate her enough, so it was just a matter of time until another man did. 🤷". So, when a man cheats it's his fault and when a woman cheats it's also his fault. 😉
      That might be a little too cynical a take, but I understand how it SEEMS like it's the case. Most women who cheat say they do so because they don’t receive emotional satisfaction from their partners. So, in their mind, it's their husband's fault. However, they are more likely to engage in emotional cheating than sexual cheating. Men are more likely to engage in sexual cheating...although that gap is narrowing more and more all the time (probably because society is telling women they are justified in cheating. "You deserve to be treated like a queen! Replace anyone who doesn't treat you that way!").
      It's all a mess. People should keep their promises...about how they will treat their spouses AND about how they will be faithful to their spouses. That's the only answer that will ever work. Unfortunately, it takes two decent people and not all marriages have that many.

    I concur with your perspective on single motherhood. I was raised by a stepfather who was an exceptional mentor.

I am fully committed to providing the necessary guidance and support to ensure the child's success and well-being. In fact, the prospect of raising a child as my own holds greater appeal to me than the notion of starting a family with a woman who does not have children.

    It's really a sign of a healthy and mature man, that he has allowed his heart to be healed and has opened himself to love more.
    A man that will love not only his lady but all that is important to her, shows his character.
    It shows that he is at a place in his life to truly give of himself.
    The comments here that go against this video, you can feel their personal discontent.
    Forgive all who have wronged you, so that God can clean your heart.
    You will have a healthy outlook in life, and be a partner worthy of a filipina flower.
    Otherwise, what are you looking for?
    You can choose to be with a single lady, but don't have a toxic heart.
    Speak a blessing to Rob and Crissy, and be happy for what they have.

    I think you two are GREAT and I think you both have a healthy attitude. And I also think what I and others think doesn't really matter, as long as you two are happy and taking good care of each other and your child, all is well as that is what matters, not what others think. But since you asked. . . Unlike you two, I've never had kids. I've not previously wanted kids as I didn't think I could do it all, provide, give them enough time and stay competitive career-wise. Also, I have concerns about divorces which are the norm over here. My own parents had a horrible messy divorce and as a child, I was caught up in it. I don't want to bring children into this world and subject them to that. There are some big cultural differences between the west and Ph, you don't hear modern western women using phrases like "light of the house" and talking about having kids as a joyful duty. Honestly many seem to resent the option of having a child or doing anything domestic. We are so darn competitive over here and so divided that society, education, health and childcare are not good. So, since I've never had children, I'm in a different boat. I think that at this stage in my life I could provide for a family in the Ph, and maybe find a partner who would actually look towards her ability to have children with joy, and I think I could both provide and be present. So, If I do decide to go for kids, I would greatly prefer someone who also doesn't already have children so we could take that journey together. But that is my thoughts for me, no judgment for you two. Actually, that isn't true, there is some judgment for you two. . .I think you both are great and great for each other! Cheers.

Furthermore, she had 3 more kids. 2 she did the same thing left the child with the dad and 1 died from crack addiction. She finally found the right guy for her, a drug dealer.

    I just broke up with my fiancé who has 3 daughters. What I realized over the year we were together, I’ll never be a priority and she’s using me for money and a visa to the U.S. I also believe her parents are in on it too. I lost a lot of money and have a broken heart but at least I won’t end up in a miserable marriage. I know not all Filipinos are like this but it seems lying and scamming is very common in the Philippines. I’m not sure if I’ll try looking for anyone else over there again. I like the people, the culture and the women in my opinion are far better than here in the west but it seems to be difficult to find someone without ulterior motives.

    I would only allow my affections to be for a single mom if she is a widower. There's no way I would involve myself with a woman knowing as a foreigner, the father has a huge advantage over me with the woman and her children or child.
    On the other hand, if she is a widower, and this was a love that would had exist if the guy lived, then thats a plus because, it shows her devotion without the emotional scars of a bad relationship. Therefore, if her mourning was complete, and shes open to have a new healthy relationship, then I see nothing wrong with taking her into my life. There are no options for the child, you are the only example of a man she/he would come to know if the mom and the man loves eachother.
    I am currently in this situation where my lovely beautiful Filipina significant other died and they had one 6 year old daughter. A year later, i came into their lives and we both love eachothers very much. The daughter call me uncle... i know i could never be her father, but i can be there for her.

I feel that as a mother, a woman would definitely be more mature, settled and levelheaded. While some mention the added expense, I feel that if a guy feels that way, he really needs to look for a woman with no children. Great subject/content Chrissy, enjoyed it.

    Chrissy, it will be clear from a search of my comment history that I have an inordinate amount of affection for you and Rob despite the fact that I only “know” you through UA-cam. 😄 That’s partly a testament to how good you two are at making these videos, but I also think it’s because your genuine personalities shine through and you’re both very likeable people.
    And I don’t disagree with anything you said in this video.
    However [HERE IT COMES! 😆], having said that, let me offer a different perspective. 😉
    I married a single mom with 4 kids (two boys and two girls). One of them was a special needs boy (not that that is overly relevant to my story). When the woman and I were dating - for about 5 years - she acted like she thought I hung the moon. Nevertheless, people thought I was crazy to marry her with all those kids. Who do you think ended up being right?
    When we married
    - I became her lowest priority…meaning behind her, her kids, and anything else she had going on in her life. The only way I could have gotten any lower would have been to cease to exist.
    - From the beginning, her oldest daughter - a teenager - refused to accept me and she had a lot of influence over the other daughter (but the youngest daughter and I still had a better relationship than I had with any of the others because she knew she was the SECOND lowest priority her mom had).
    - The woman essentially wanted me to raise her kids while she worked as a nurse and took online classes to become a Nurse Practitioner. Meanwhile, I had lost my day shift computer position and was sent to a swing-shift, high overtime, high stress hellscape of a blue-collar position that only allowed me time to work and sleep and that was all.
    - The woman became more and more upset that I wasn’t spending more time with her kids watching TV and hanging out. She didn’t care that my job situation had changed. She began to pick more and more fights with me. (To be fair, I'm sure she was also tired of hearing me complain about my job).
    - At the same time, she started talking about and regularly texting a doctor she had started working with. Even though she was just one of many nurses that worked with him and he was only one of many doctors she worked with, they definitely had developed the stereo-typical “work wife” and “work husband” relationship.
    - We went to a Halloween party at his house and, despite the fact that his wife was beautiful and actually won “sexiest costume” at the party, the doctor was obviously flirting with my wife and blatantly eyeing her. (To be clear, I am not above confronting a guy if he crosses a line…but he didn’t go that far. He could have played the “I’m just kidding!” card and I would have looked like the jerk. Plus, I never believed for an instant that she would really cheat on me. Because I trusted her…).
    - She wanted us to take a scuba diving trip to Mexico with him and his wife. I don’t scuba dive and neither does his wife. She said we could do what we wanted while she and the doctor scuba dived. She was furious when I said I didn’t want to do that.
    - I found out she had three bank accounts other than the one she shared with me. The other accounts were supposedly dedicated to different things like her kids’ social security deposits, etc. The account that was used to pay the bills (including the bills related to her kids) was, of course, the one she shared with me.
    I could go on and on and ON. You can predict the end. I never caught her cheating, but there is only so much smoke I can put up with and still deny that there seems to be a fire. I kicked her out, we divorced, she and the doctor went to Mexico for their diving trip sometime later, his wife filed for divorce (I have no idea if the trip and the divorce had anything to do with each other), apparently my ex and the doctor had some kind of falling out after that, etc.
    The point of my tale is that I took the leap of faith with a single mom (who seemed to ADORE me when we were dating) and all I got from it was a lot of trouble, a slightly smaller bank account, a larger distrust of women when they tell me how amazing I am, and 3 wasted years.
    I should add, however, that there WERE red flags that I ignored when I started dating her. So that's on me. And I don't believe my ex is representative of the typical single mom. But she also probably isn't as rare as one might like to think.

I hope in time your heart will heal and you will find the ONE that is meant to be perfect for you. Try hard not to let one bad apple define your view of all Filipinas or an entire gender.

    No, been in this situating here in the states, never a good thing. Man takes on the responsibility of family and raising the children with none of the authority for the child. Gets attached to the child and then she runs off and cheats or worst decides she wants a divorce. You, as the man became attached to the kids and never gets to see them again. Really. will tear a man apart. In another case, a friend of mine decided to adopt the children and then after a year or two she files for a divorce. That man that was generous with his heart, will not have visitation rights but will be required to pay child support. Which was a choice by the man, yes. Is also punished by the courts for having a good heart. I myself have dated single moms but it will never go anywhere, because of life experiences and friends' experiences. I am 60 years old; I have never been married with no kids and not really looking to get married in the future, not a priority. Not to be critical of the content but you said write my thoughts. Plus, opinions are like ____, everyone has one, you can fill in the blank. God bless

    I didnt hear a benefit for dating a single mom here. Did I miss it? He is older and didnt want kids so he can pay for yours?
    You want more kids but decided not to because he is taking care of yours?
    This can be solved with just finding someone who doesnt want kids or cant have kids. You suggest a compromise which can also be accomplished with starting a new family.
    Just be straight, there is no benefit for dating a single mom. To say it any other way is disingenuous.
    On the strong, independent part. It matters not to me, how a couple decides to set up their relationship financially. But arent men running from the west to avoid the illusion of strong and independent women? Definitely running from single moms claiming to be such who are dependent on men.
    This video is such a weird take in general.

Her husband abandon her and her 5 children 11 years ago and has never even visited his children or provided any support. For me the relationship was never a problem or challenge. For me if you love the woman, then you accept and love the children. I did and do. Now we have a 6 year old child of our own so we now have the 6 kids you reffered to. In our case the only problem is getting her single so we can get married. We are hopping the divorce law that passed the house of representatives will also pass the Senate and then be signed into law. Other wise we will have to wait on an annulment. I enjoyed your vlog.

The Philippines and the Vatican are the only two places where divorce doesn’t exist(maybe soon). If I had it to do over again I WOULD NOT DATE A MARRIED WOMAN. With that said I would date a single mom if she were unmarried or if she had an annulment.
