Kat is a very nice woman, she reminds me of myself when I just got here in US to be with my late husband. I wasn't dumb, but I was very shy that when I came out of my shell I felt free... you just have to be patient and gentle with her because she is storing everything subconsciously...

Hi from Long Island, been married to a Filipina for 22 years, together for 24. Best decision I’ve ever made in the relationship area.

[@AngelOnEarth0614]

My advise is to never make her jealous or feel second place to another person especially another woman. Make her feel most loved and you will be ok

[@overthere1238]

Hi Mike and Kat, I’m also married to a foreigner. I used to do pedicure and back massages to my husband, that’s how I show my love and appreciation for him being a good husband and a father. I don’t say “ I love you” too much as he do, I show it through my actions. I do serve his plate to make sure he will not over eat 😂. I did the Tampo back then but it’s better to talk about it than him guessing what’s in my mind. I don’t do pedicure and massages anymore cuz I’m already exhausted after work.. I just use my feet to scratch his back😂.. while watching tv laying on our bed. I guess I spoiled him to the bone. Best wishes to you guys!

[@AngelOnEarth0614]

Filipinas are bred to be perfect housewives because of our Asian grandmothers. We can work and provide for our family, take care of the husband and kids and still keep the house clean and prepare dinner for the family. We have that superpower. On top of this, we arent obesed and hardly wear make up but can still look good and fresh

[@ceceburrell7679]

My Filipina is so independent. Filipinas still wanted their shining armour to protect them, loved and cared for, they get jealous because the trust is not being built yet but she loved unconditionally. They’re so dedicated to take care of their man even they’re busy with work and taking care of children. Been married of 29 years now and it’s not easy, we still have up’s and downs but for better or for worse, they’re the best.

[@susanlazenby210]

I was absolutely 100% correct to make a comment of her jealous nature when I saw her telling the staff that they were going to have a meeting at the bar while the 2 female staff were chatting away during the live vlog. As a Filipina, I noticed her insecurity and jealousy. Understandably, she feels insecure because Michael is very friendly and confident of himself and obviously very attractive man. There are a lot of Filipino women who are very attractive, educated, confident and financially self-sufficient. Michael is very intelligent and very much aware of other opportunities available to be with another Filipino woman if he wishes. Kat has to learn to be more confident and less jealous no matter how difficult it is, because jealousy can destroy any relationship if it becomes too restrictive and restraining. She has to realize that a man will cheat regardless of the partner’s physical beauty, intelligence and other positive abilities. It will happen if the man wishes or intends to. Just enjoy the relationship and go with the flow. Michael is very positive and focuses on reaching goals and dreams, just continue to be supportive, loving and helpful in every way. Learn to deal with your own insecurity and jealous nature. “Tampo” is our Filipino nature, but it can destroy a relationship. Michael is telling you to be more open rather than giving him a cold shoulder. Relax and everything will just be fine. Advice from 66-year old Filipina from California who is about to retire in the Philippines 👍🥰.

Thanks for sharing your story with us. I'm also in a LDR with my Filipina and we're working on getting her Fiancée Visa right now. I'm also quite familiar with the tampo and jealousy. I'm a car guy and mine has actually displayed jealousy towards my car at one point. We had to discuss that to clear things up. But above all else, do not take her for granted, please be patient with her and don't forget that English is her second language. Oh yah, always be respectful to her. There's nothing more annoying to me than a guy who treats his significant other as a subservient just because she gives everything with her heart. Special shout out to Kat for doing this video. I know it must be awkward for you. Don't you go changing for anybody. Good Luck you two and keep the videos coming. Thanks

[@wintersojourn9356]

@VistaBlueGT. SO well said. I Ty for this comment. I especially second your advice to Miss Catherine to never change in any manner except perhaps change due to natural growth of living long life, or changes which are solely her conscious decisions to move in another direction. For example, if she wants to take a managerial study course. Just an example, she doesn’t need that as she is learning by experience & from excellent mentors like Bitoy’s owner. But imo she doesn’t havta become comfortable with speaking or being on camera, if that isn’t a goal for her. Yes her sig other is a vlogger, but she supports him in many other ways , as he has repeatedly stated. Cat doesn’t have to be heavily featured on camera. (Although as a viewer I do enjoy seeing she & L. with Michael. But to my thinking, if camera time is not her cup of tea, I get it & the channel will still survive & thrive I’m sure. Even brief Catherine cameos will always be enjoyable to view). I know many think differently, they’d like to see Cat thrive & take to being on camera & voicing her perspectives. But some peeps thrive under the shade trees, y’kno violets not sunflowers…the variety makes a gorgeous garden

[@i.r.wayright1457]

Kat is a full partner, not just an ornament. Jealousy, yes, I found out about that one with my Filipina.

[@non-monogamousmark]

As much as what you say about Filipinas raised in the Philippines is true and the right loving Filipina makes life for us older foreign men blissful, I find that 3 bisexual Filipinas who each deeply love me and love each other as much, you just cannot imagine how great life is. Men say to me they can't hardly live with 1 Filipina and it must be a nightmare living with 3. They clearly don't have a clue about how good it can be.

I think interracial relationships are better, because my last partner was ukrainian and our only arguments is she doesn’t want me to do house chores, and she hates it when it is super hot in house. The only reason why we are no longer together is she passed away from her illness, she had Parkinson and it was super aggressive, if the 5 years that we shared together i have seen her struggle worsen every month. Then she passed away last December and we never got a chance to move her to Texas were i am at now.

It's basically like Florida in August here for about 3 months.about 105F. After that is rainy season that gets humid for a couple weeks but still about the same until it breaks then it's maybe in the 80s during the day and many nights down to 68-72. November to April is the top months sitting at 65 to 75 pretty steady. It's the humid late April to June people hate the most to be honest. Of course the mountains are much cooler where some days can be 65 in the hottest time of the year and very rarely 75 as a high for a few hours maybe

I came to the U.S. at 16 years old and dated American women(Particularly White). My relationship with them never lasted over a year. At 28, decided to go home and coincidently saw one of my friends I knew since we were kids. Since, I only had 3 days and had to fly back to Tokyo to complete a project I asked her to marry me. It's been 43 years later and never regretted my decision. It sure helps dating American women to see the difference in culture.

I’m a follower of your channel since you first arrived in the Philippines with your first gf. It’s sad that her perspective in life changed and went home but I’m amazed that you have created a plan B of your life in the Philippines. You even found a good Filipina woman for a partner. Love and respect her. Don’t be like those other white men who look down on their Filipina partners and treat them like a shock absorber of the frustrations they brought from their home land. Filipinas were brought up with some unique mind set and wherever you go around the Philippines we all think the same when it comes to taking care of our homes. We’re impeccable! We’re housewives and working housewives as well. We don’t complain. We take care of our husbands and children faithfully with love and dedication! You would be the luckiest man if you are within the circle of the protection of a Filipina woman. Goodluck!

Doing household chores is a 24 hour job. No need to find work outside if your man will also look after you. . And wives working full time at home is not a maid , a servant or a slave .

@VurginiaGo-rj5vs. Amen, well said, I agree. Someone in the livestream chat/comment section was calling stay at home moms, or homemakers (don’t have to be child rearing imo) “counter wipers” & I just shook my head internally. Homemaking, or as another commenter here said “being a helpmate” is an art & a skill, MANY skills. & it is a vocation that is truly noble, especially as it is often undervalued & even ridiculed. Not that every woman can or should seek it out as their vocation. Many women don’t want to be home with their children or husband full time. They luv their careers or enjoy it or need the extra income. Some men wanna stay home, etc. I dislike the bad-good division of stay at home v working moms. It is not zero sum.
