jpbago Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 I'm almost 57 and Myrlita is 60. How often do you see that here? There are cougars here too??? I have seen that with Filipinos and once close with an American who was the same age as his wife. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virginprune Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 I am 60 and my significant other is 43. I have two daughters aged 31 and 28, the eldest was up for it pretty much straight away. However, my youngest was really not into the idea mainly for two reasons. Her own selfish feelings of wanting me to remain and also worry because of a previous relationship I had with a woman in Thailand. In that instance it was a relationship for over 3 years, with a lot of time in country, that started off great but descended into money and termination. I like to think that I got my diploma from WBU but without spending too much. My daughter is now coming round to the idea, possibly because she got married last year and is now pregnant so feels more secure in herself. Who knows, if that helped who I am I to argue. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Steve Posted January 19, 2015 Author Posted January 19, 2015 kazualteaze69, it sounds like this move is front and center on your bucket list and I hope it goes better than planned. I've had several extended visits there, but many established expats here have reminded those like me that reality sets in after 3-6 months and then you will know for sure if it's going to be "home". Full speed ahead and good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpbago Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Along the lines of the bucket list, think of it this way. When you are born, you are given a jar of marbles maybe 75. Every year, on your birthday, take out one marble. Now look at how many marbles are left. You know what happens when all the marbles are gone.

i am bob Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) That's the nice thing about a bucket though... You can always fill it back up! :D Edited January 20, 2015 by I am bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryneves Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 @ kazualteaze69: just go for it - it's your life and a lot of the negativity will in fact be driven by envy that you are taking a step that many would like to take but haven't the courage to push through with! I have a couple of expat friends in that situation, one here in the Phils and one back in the country I grew up in, Brazil! been here 10 years now, and no, its not all roses, but happy and no regrets. Good luck with the move! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i am bob Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 That's the thing people forget... A place may be perfect for you but it won't be perfect for everybody... If it was, there wouldn't be room for us to get in there! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
