I think it would be nice if you asked questions before you get angry. She asked me for that. She wants that life. I thought she was going to find work

If he is as much of a head turner as he claims - why is he single at 50 and needs to buy a bride?
You have the facts wrong
I am not 50, that was the other guy’s post
You misunderstood the situation of $200
I get the feeling you have many assumptions
Please let me hear them and clear out the misunderstandings
There is love and respect. If there wasn’t, her entire family would disapprove of me

Why do you care what a bunch of random strangers think? If you are both good with the arrangement, what's the problem? I just dont want to hear you back on CD a few years from now complaining about how she took your house and all your stuff in the divorce and you have to support her luxurious lifestyle with your alimony payments.

It escapes me how anyone in their right mind would be good with one spouse wasting their degree, giving up their good job, income, vehicle and home to be a lazy housewife/husband. At the same time, the other has to 100% financially support them, give them an allowance, and fly them to a vacation destination twice a year.
And one being submissive to the other. Dosent sound like a healthy relationship but whatever floats ya.

How is it mail order? Please ask more questions before you jump to conclusion.

The first time I flew to see her, she said no to me on the first week. I was heart broken. After spending two more weeks in person, she warmed up to me and asked me to fly back to spend more time with her

So would she actually be a housewife, or would you need to be paying for cleaners, laundry service, takeout, etc.?

I understand you feel I am completely wrong and you will yell that in my face.

Now imagine you saying that in front of her and her entire family of 10. Can you tell her and her entire family that she is doing the wrong thing? Her choice is invalid

How did you meet?
Did you propose the first time you saw her?
How long have you known her?
What is her degree in.
Where does she work.
What job do you have that you can take so much time off to fly to the Philippines? I'm guessing you must make high 6 figures and have lots of vacation time.
Has she already got her visa.
Are you going to marry in the Philippines or US?

Why would you think you are exploiting her?

You misunderstood
After all her expenditures like car, insurance, etc, she can save $200
If you understand Phillipine environment, it would make more sense. Filipina who has a child are often having difficulty finding a new husband. Country is full of dead beat men and stubborn men who will not raise another man’s child

We met on a dating website for Filipina looking for a foreigner
No proposal
I asked her to be my girlfriend after 4 weeks of knowing her. She rejected
Bachelor psychology
Call center
I make 6 figures: business
No visa
I let her decide what she wants. Again, I am submissive to her
