When it’s time to leave the Philippines, what happens between you and your Filipina partner?

So I’m about to leave the Philippines since my company’s relocating me back to Europe. I’ve got two choices: either head back to Europe or push for a new job in another SEA country, preferably Singapore or Malaysia.

Now, I’m wondering what’s going to happen with me and my girlfriend of three years. I see a lot of potential in our relationship but honestly I’m not sure we can survive long distance.

One of my expat colleagues went through something similar and ended up staying in Malaysia. His Filipina girlfriend actually made the effort to find a job there just so they could stay together. I’m not so sure my girlfriend would be up for that. I mean, she’s got her life here, and I don’t think she’s willing to give that up. But I’ve been thinking it might be a good idea if she was open to it.

Right now, she’s feeling kind of abandoned, thinking I was only with her because I was living here. But, man, we all know this is just how expat life goes.

Anyone been in a similar situation? Did it work out with your Filipina girlfriend? Would appreciate any advice.

Listen, if shes really the one, then your relationship would have to go through a LOT harder obstacle other than LDR. Do what you want with that information. Having said that, make sure you know you did your best to make a relationship work to avoid any regret. Bless
