Did I Give Her Too Much Independence? (Wife Went to USA)

[@richesongaming1924]

Why would a married man or married women need independence? If you are married you are one. The strongest relationships that i have witnessed did every together as a couple

[@paulruano1903]

I am going to share a personal story that happened to me in my lifetime. I married a girl from outside the United States when i was 35 she was 18, and we had 2 beautiful children she took care of the children, and i provided there were never any problems. I decided 6 years later to send my wife to the United States so she could work and we could live in the United States. Once she started working in the United States, she did a 180. I believe if we had stayed living abroad, we would still be married today. Women change when they become independent in the united states there is no way to change that no matter who you are. You need to make a decision as you are the leader of the family. Living with less and being happy. Or living with more and having nothing.

It's important to know that marriage dependency is a two-way street. This helps each individual feel that they are needed and worth something. It's important to keep away from one polar opposite at any one time. As you wanted a wife to be dependent on you, what are you doing so that your wife is finding you dependable? Other than KZbin video uploads, you have not discussed what your plans are when you return to America. Are you planning to work again? Have you got a job lined up already? As you are aware, the cost of living in America is by far different to that of the Philippines and a husband needs to step up to the plate. If there are money concerns now, what is going to happen when you arrive back in the US and the wife becomes dependent on her husband until she secures a job of her own. There's no housemaid or the other perks as enjoyed in the Philippines for a middle-class family in the US. Securing a place in an American medical school need $US000

Tim, Krissy is a good girl. The problem with independence is what the other western girls will put in her head. Couples fight and that's normal, but in the Philippines, Krissy will be reinforced to be a good wife, respect and honor you and serve God by loving you. In the west, she will reoriented to a new perspective to see you as a low life and see her self above you, educated, and "deserve" better. I respect your decision as her husband, but I would advise that you keep her firmly rooted to God, you, the boy, and the marriage. She doesn't need independence - you two are married. IMHO - you're pushing her toward a career. IMHO - you are pushing her out into the world and away from the family. You married a girl who was everything you wanted already. It is like you are trying to catch her up to speed to the standards of the West. Just worried for you. You asked - that's my advice. God bless brother.

NO!!! You did not do the right thing!!!

[@Yashi-j1s]

It's up to you my friend. No one can dictate you how to treat your wife.

[@durianwalker]

Don’t worry, Chad will take care of her there.

[@fonsecarichard]

Mr ThunderStroke? Chad ThunderStroke? 😂

Bottom line is we’re living in a world where people are always looking for the next best thing. Not just a problem here in my country, the United States, but it’s becoming a worldwide epidemic, All thanks to social media. I’m 54 and I’ve figured out it’s best to be alone and focus on my health, business, relationship with God. If he has someone in my future, she’ll show up at some point.

[@spitiful5800]

She comes to the US you already know how that’s ganna be.

[@janetcatalano8391]

You are doing the right thing. You and Chrissy will be fine. She will look back in the future and have great memories and appeciate you for standing by her and being there for her growth.

[@ipro3838]

I am confused. How does she just leave her kid like that? She is a mom and wife. That is a commitment, and that means she has a role that usually does not involve her taking off when she feels like it.

[@PabloChicano]

In the west now due to the feminist movement, women really don’t need men. They are very strong and independent. You have given Chrissy that right. Because of the age difference- you did the right thing IMO. She is not only your wife but she must be very thankful to you. Right on Tim!

[@R1COR3ECKLESS]

You're done siiirrr!!! She gonna find better love in the states!! She deserves better! She's probably going wild right now without you being there

[@jjvidalu]

Ella no va a soltar tu billetera, hasta que tenga otra asegurada y que sea mas abultada. Buscate una mujer normal, parecida a ti, que te aprecie por lo que eres y no por lo que tienes, buena suerte amigo.

[@kingmaafa120]

Yep

[@RichieRichAbroad-us6ol]

nobody knows your wife better than you do, Tim! if you feel good about your decision and your relationship, thats all that matters. Im sure it will all work out. We're supposed to help them grow, not hold them back right?

[@JDOlea]

I'm 42 on an LDR with a 20 yo province girl, this is an eye-opener for me and I appreciate your honesty. Watching your videos is like having a small glimpse of what is yet to come for me, I know everyone is different, but I am blessed that my girl is very humble, down to heart, hard-working, and very supportive. You did good with Chrissy, everything is possible as long there's trust, respect, communication, and love between y'all, good luck to you both!

[@RonRichards-v5f]

Hopefully you are going to moving to the Philippines permanently. Otherwise, you have no idea what she is doing when she isn't talking to you. It's very common for Filipinas to be 4-5 LDR's with foreigners at a time.

[@JDOlea]

@ moving is out of the question, I have a career here in America and many years to go to retire, I know that some Filipinas do that, she has introduced me to her friends and family already, I guess time will tell, I am planning to go there soon

[@energiavadasz3328]

Well you will lose her. but the good thing there are motch more oportunities for you in the Philipiens.

[@Mjman56]

Good luck Tim, time will tell.

[@GaryC1957]

There’s a saying that “If you love someone, let them go. For if they return, they were always yours. If they don’t, they never was.” Every relationship is tested over time. There was a time a few years ago that I wondered if she was yours. But time has shown that I think she really is yours. I think as Dale has grown, so have the both of you. You’ll know soon enough. Best wishes.

[@bmactattoo1219]

She left her husband and son for a vacation on New Years... 🎉😢

[@trumpeta2]

key thing don't let your thougts get the best of you. maintain control.

[@poundtrader1414]

this is clearly on his mnd

[@myswedishside]

You are inlove Tim 😂❤ nothing is wrong with what you have done to Chrissy 😊

[@iwashere9670]

That is the true love. Trust, freedom. Filipinos OFW are one example. Just trust and be calm.

[@CP-h9i]

It sounds like you're trying to mentally prepare yourself for her leaving you for whatever reasons, now you're scared & thinking about what you may have done wrong, or just cause of the age gap?

[@caparn100]

Are you sure you are not just after a bit of freedom for yourself?

[@naidabrown677]

That’s awesome Tim !

[@KIMBER-x7x]

It's worth it. Watch Overstay Road and see the alternative. Living with your wife and not even able to have an adult conversation.

[@taebebe9528]

He got many wives and yes even he not understands her, he understands her 😂😂😂

[@AC3Phistos]

I had to stop watching Marcos it was too depressing far out

[@TB-xx4gc]

I think the better question is, is her independence even yours to give?
