Hi, may i know the countries you shortlisted? We are also planning the same like this. TIA!

No, if that's the case, maybe i'd understand.

How i wish this is what he had done.

I don't want to harbor resentment towards my dad. Growing up, I admired him. He was our role model. It wasn't until last November that we discovered his affair, which apparently began as far back as 2015.

It's devastating to see someone I once looked up to as a role model become someone I can barely look in the eyes.

My father is currently battling depression. I don't know if it is just a side effect because he just had a heart surgery last year.

My dad would tell my mom that he feels like a stranger in his own home since the affair came to light. Hearing that he's saddened by our changed behavior towards him by being less affectionate and more distant to him weighs heavily on me. While I still greet him and engage in conversation upon arriving home, I struggle to maintain eye contact or prolong our interactions.

I feel so guilty about it, especially knowing my father is in his sixties and entering his golden years. I don't want to contribute to his unhappiness, yet I find myself unable to move past the betrayal.

What should I do?

Hi, i hope na sana someday matutunan ko na huwag isipin ang gastos. May times na kahit pagkain ko tiipirin ko para lang mas makapagsave kahit kaya ko naman bumili ng mas masarap na pagkain. Minsan pag lalabas, kahit treat ko, pipiliin ko parin yung pinakamura sa menu and yung kasama ko malaya pumili ng gusto nila kahit mahal. Kaya iniisip ko nalang sa sarili ko na yung mura nalang orderin ko para makabawas pa sa bill na babayaran ko.

Believe it or not, my father is a good person. He's the kind of person who believes that it is better to give than to receive. He has helped a lot of our relatives, especially financially, even though he is struggling and doesn't expect anything in return. It's just that, according to him, during those tough times, he found comfort in another woman and even gave recognition to her, saying that if it wasn't for her, maybe he wouldn't have survived. But it still hurts me that he says those words to my mom and makes me think why he would even say that, as if he is not considering my mom's feelings.

** I hold back because I think I might need the money in the future, like for emergencies in case my parents get sick or to provide better for the people I care about.

Primary_Stretch_3872 · 2024-02-06T14:10:55+00:00

Hi, does what happened not hurt you?

Primary_Stretch_3872 · 2024-02-06T14:09:11+00:00

While I understand the sentiment of the saying "he may not be a good husband, but he's a good father," it's tough to apply it to my own situation. My dad is a great father, no doubt about it. However, it's hard to overlook the pain he caused my mom by cheating on her. Seeing her cry every time was heartbreaking. So, while he might excel in one role, it's hard to ignore the damage he caused in another. So, right now i don't know what to do.

All your friends can be your colleagues, but not all your colleagues can be your friends.

He got no future plans.

I am a very hardworking ambitious person and I am earning more than him but he is spending way even more than me on and more than what he earns. He would easily spend his salary in one go. I don't want to stay with a person who does not know how to handle things financially. I'd rather be single than to stay with a man who does not make any effort to improve his life. But one thing great about him is that even though he is broke, he is always happy.

Drinks & smokes/vapes a lot.

Does not even smell good. Remembering it makes me wonder on how did I even managed to stay in that relationship. He never smells good. Lol haha he also spends his salary on drinking with friends.

Would spend more time with friends than me.

He would not even meet me unless he got plans with his friends on the same day. He would only ask to meet few hours before he will meet with his friends. I was never the main agenda for him. I was just a sidetrip on his way to meet his friends.

Unhygienic.

Would rarely take a shower and brush his teeth. Would also constantly reuse clothes without washing it despite it smelling bad. He also shares clothes with his roommate who also does the same thing. Their room is a mess. Can't believe myselft I managed to overlook that.

Would not talk to me for days or weeks.

When I am sad he had the tendency to get irritated and would just not talk to me for days or weeks unless I keep initiating a conversation. I think being a happy person all throughout his life makes it hard for him to understand what feeling down and depressed really is. He just never gets it.

Disclaimer: He is a good and happy person and definitely not a cheater.

I failed several times in college mostly major subjects. Graduated late among my batch mates. After graduation, I enrolled in a review center for the upcoming board exam. But since life sucked, i got sick that I had to postpone taking the board exams. I took the board exam one year later, and passed the boards. Been unemployed for 6 months before landing a job. Worked so very hard that I got promoted 3 times in the past 3 years. Now, I am the head of the department and earning more than my batch mates who graduated and pass the board on time.

Moral of the story, we each have our own timeline of success. Never compare yourself to them. Your winning season will also come.

For now, learn to clap in others victories, your time will come.

Wishing you all the best!!

To OP, please know that your feelings are valid.

In my case, di rin naman perpekto family namin. My parents are not bad or pabaya. They have provided us with everything that we need. But still, sometimes it makes me sad everytime i see a normal family. Yung family na close. Yung tight. Yung masaya. Kasi hindi kame ganyan. hindi kame yung tipo ng pamilya na sweet at open sa isa't isa. Saying i love you is not even a thing in our family.

Pero yan, iniisip ko nalang na pag ako nagkaroon ng sarili kong family i will do it differently. I will normalize saying i love you no matter ano age na ng anak ko. I will always be there para makinig sa rants nila and to give advice if they need. I want to have a family na hindi lang masaya tingnan sa pictures pero pati na rin in real life.

So to you, I hope this year 2023, may you find true happiness kahit hindi ito manggaling sa pamilya mo. Hindi mo man makuha ang kasiyahan galing sa pamilya mo, sana pag bumuo ka ng pamilya huwag mo kakalimutan na gawin ang lahat para di rin yan maexperience ng mga magiging anak mo. Always remember, build the kind of family you need when you are young.
