    It is typical female behavior in the states, I don't blame the guy for being a bit jaded. I understand the clinginess of filipinas too.
    It's getting really annoying, really fast at how some of them want you on the phone, video chat, etc non-stop. Leave me the f alone sometimes.

      Being in a relationship doesn't mean being up each others asses all the time, Mike. It is no different than a guy that follows a woman around like a puppy dog.
      It might be good for codependents, but my family is dead, and nobody ever gave me anything in life. It is great having someone to lean on, but I still need time to myself occasionally.
      It is unhealthy to drift into obsession.

      @@mikesphilippineretirement If the woman is left with only physical material possessions (depreciating assets) she is virtually penniless. She only has items she can covert to short-term cash. But she has no long-term path forward financially. Worse, unless he helped pay into her social security account, she will be unprotected in a workplace culture that disposes of women after the age of 35 or so. She can’t start over in the competition for the good jobs. So yes, I use the term penniless. That man financially destroyed this woman! That’s why she was so desperate to hang on.

      How about treating them with respect and not using them for temporary sex?

      What a bullshit move this was. He is giving every foreign male a bad name in the Philippines. Stuff like this spreads. I missed one relationship because the girl I was engaged to was told not to marry a foreigner, because they kill their wives. She got this stuff from her friends who read it in the Philippine newspapers that a foreigner killed his Filipina wife. They ganged on her until she started to believe it, so she left the relationship. This too will get out and make it more difficult for foreigners to find women in the Philippines.

Relationships to a Filipina in the Philippines means everything regardless whether it is a local guy or a foreigner. There is no excuse to cut and run without at least leaving her with something to make her life better. No Filipino guy will touch her so she is left alone without even a child for companionship and or emotional comfort. Life is or can be tough in the Philippines!

    You are an excellent storyteller Mike. I want to acknowledge that. It’s a gift. I agree 70 is not old. I’m close and I am more capable and vital than almost anytime, plus the maturity, good judgment, wisdom, insight and humility.
    I’ve had to break up. It is hard. When I first meet I look for emotional stability. Thats very important. Also in the basic human rights a person has the right to change their mind. It takes years to know someone. Sometimes people don’t reveal important things until years later. I’ve had experiences like that. “To thine own self be true”. Honesty with oneself is critical and honesty with a partner is critical. If someone honestly tries many times to break up civilly, and it’s too dangerous or emotionally fearing, then possibly just detaching physically is necessary. We have only one life. We have to live our own life. I agree George could have sent an email letting her know his decision and possibly send her some money to help her for a while like Reekay suggests. Great video.

I understand where he is coming from, the only thing that sours me….once in the states he should have sent her a civil email telling her it was over and that she should move on, being kind and civil. Then he can live his life in peace and drama free, him not disclosing where he is in the states was a red flag, he doesn’t want her “hunting” him down. My two cents. 😊

As for leaving them better than you found them isn't much of a consolation. The girl goes back home in disgrace. You may as well have just left her a $100 on the night stand for her, she gets out of the shower after a night together so you can leave without feeling guilty. Leaving them something before you leave I think would be more of a slap in the face. It just makes her probably feel cheap 🤬🤬✌🏽❤️

    Good topic, Mike. I appreciate how you encourage men to, if they are going to leave (including dying well before their lady friend), leave them in better shape than when you arrived. But in the circumstance that is the topic of this vlog, how does one remotely compensate a Filipina for the “flower of their youth?” You are setting a good example by helping and encouraging Janet to have an independent source of income and be able to support herself once that time comes-the time that comes for all. She can live her life without having to return to family because she will have invested her youth wisely and not fallen for a scammer of youthfulness-sometimes the only thing a Filipina has to invest in a comfortable old age. Good job.

It's hard in itself to walk away from a 15 year relationship because of all the emotional investment. On top with the ghosting will have devastating effects. I can't imagine the psychological scaring left upon this poor woman.

If they have their own place in a lot of cases it is just a bed in a boarding house or very small room, that you wouldn't be comfortable in. The Philippines is not like the west, most earn and live off of $200- $400 per month.

    I agree with you on being upfront and honest. If you’re gonna live with somebody long-term, do yourself a favor and treat them exactly the way you would want to be treated. Sometimes relationships just don’t work out no matter what your ethical standards and practices. I’ve never found Filipina’s to be as difficult as Thai partners. Because Thai partners lose face with their friends and families if the foreigner leaves them. I’m sure you get crazy jealous Filipinas, But that is where a good screening process should show up some red flags. The reality is if you’re dating a younger partner you best have some common ground to base the relationship on. The chances are very slim that a Filipina 20 years younger than you will have the same life experience and maturity as you, so you have to be very forgiving and show each other your better angels. Thank you for the video.
