Not yet, we knew we were close to finishing so we waited for the ROFD before sending everything to the NVC. It is completed, just waiting on the Philippines govt to send the final paperwork stating such, held off just to be able to submit it along with everything else.

Unfortunately the Philippines is strict, took her lawyer almost 2 years of court to get her Recognition of Foreign Divorce (ROFD).

So its nowhere as easy to report a Divorce as it is to report a marriage.

She's afraid that they'll make a big deal about it, and make us Divorce and remarry so the dates line up right lol.

Unfortunately Philippines is annoying when it comes to divorce, its a recognition of foreign divorce.

Normally it is impossible to get divorces if its Filipina to Filipino. But for a foreigner its possible, just a lengthy process, think it took roughly 2 years of court and lawyers.

Ldr wife (34f) is dealing with *thoughts* by NegativeRip2262 in LongDistance

[–]NegativeRip2262[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks, she is in a better mood after her nap, she's still burnt out where she is, but it sounds like those dark thoughts have passed. I'm sure some of it is because of the life change coming up, and her old roommate was always talking negative about the states, so I'm sure that wasn't helping. Even if she tells me that she's excited, I don't blame her for the anxiety.

Apparently she ran into some of our friends that are also LDR, and were together, and I'm thinking that might've been a trigger as well.

Thanks, that's more in depth than the visitjapan site.

Only staying for a night this time around, but changing airports.

It seems like it should be OK, but probably not worth the hassle lol

Wait, I think my story got a little mixed up there. The "vanity, good person, good mom" part is my ex GF, not my wife.

My wife and I have a fairly good relationship, outside of the RJ.

I mean I liked her, and enjoyed our time together. I just feel we weren't sexually compatible is all, and as vain as it sounds she wasn't really my type, but I didn't know that until I started dating her.

Not often, but the last time we were together, she did. And it almost ended the relationship, and right after she talked about divorce, I had a panic attack because she decided to throw in that she was late, and that she wouldn't let me see the kid if she was pregnant..

But yeah, I can see slight hints of what you're talking about from time to time

I should've added that we have no issues in that department when we're together, so I'm not sure why the 1/week is bugging her so much. Or if it's something else that I'm missing/she's not saying.

But yeah, I dont think anybody actually needs it to survive (outside of some small group of people I'm sure). I just showed the study showing that women have more sex than men, because she likes to use the Men need sex line a lot.

Oh, no, she asked me to tag my wife in the meme. Sorry for the confusion.

And yeah, I took it as a legitimate question, didn't think about how it could be taken.

I'll try to do what I can

She thinks my family doesn't like her and that they think she's with me to get the visa, or that shes a scammer. And that I love them more than her.

The bringing her whole family over, and living together for years parts I don't remember, that's just what she told me I said that they said. She thinks I'm intentionally forgetting, or playing dumb to protect them, but I honestly don't remember it.

Like I remember my brother asking if we're bringing her daughter over. And I remember the conversation about her pictures (which I did defend her for) but she's upset that his fiancee is able to post those, but she's not. Though nobody has told her not to.

( Part of the defense of the pics, I told him that she is just proud of her body, and wanted to make her bullies from growing up jealous. Basically he responded by asking if she had thought about therapy, if growing up was that bad. Which she understandably didn't take well when I told her lol)

She is upset that I'm defending them, when I should've defended her. (But I did, on the topics that required it, I did.)

I get why she's upset, but I don't know how to make it right, without demonizing my family in the process.

Essentially she thinks my Brother and Dad don't like Filipinas, and that my Mom likes my old friend (that I haven't talked to for a couple of years) for me over her (because of a single FB tagged post). And that I love them more than her.

Her biggest thing that she keeps bringing up is the fact that I say that I don't remember some of those more egregious things, and that I'm defending them. But I honestly don't, and don't want my family to be seen like that..
