I would just like to share my personal experience as a GM... And our relationship going for 2 years. 

OUR STORY: We first met and were in a GF/BF relationship 13 years ago. We are very young then, just around in our late 20's. We were passionate to make something of ourselves - we both dreamt big! We thought we were a match. To cut the painful story short - She chose another man over me! To be honest, I had some regrets letting her go but I believe it was for the better since I also had to leave for Singapore and pursue my dream as to be the Best Engineer that I can be... She eventually married the "other man" she chose over me and they had a child.

At first, we still kept in touch as friends through social media, SMS and calls while I was in SG for a while. She was candid on the fact that they were both not making enough here in Philippines and to make it worse, their child had a condition that required them to be "more" financially stable. Thus, she had to leave for Taiwan (as an Production QA) to pursue Greener Pasteur while her husband has to stay in Philippines to take care of their child.

We had a big argument before she left for Taiwan because I strongly advised against their situation - It should be the other way around! I explained that her husband should be the one to leave the country to work and provide for their family, not her. She, as a mother, should be the one to stay and take care of their child but she ignore my plea. During this time, I was hurt and was also convinced that she no longer needed my advise from thereon. Thus, caused us to stop our communication.

Fast-forward 13 years into the pandemic, she was forced to come back home in Philippines because she lost her job in middle-east while I was offered a year earlier by my company to manage our investments here in Philippines.

Again, to cut the long story short, we had an opportunity to meet again but this time we already are very different. I already have a family of my own and she was separated from her husband (not legally) and left with their child. She was forced to work odd-jobs and once was in Pasay as a **you know what** to support her family :(

At first, I was so disappointed on what she has done and what she had to went through. It was very far from her plans. And then it struck me, what if she chose me? What if we chose each other? Thus, I made her stop working and just supported her financially. I also had a lot of time because I have the opportunity to work at home during the pandemic. In fact, we already have our own child together but she had a miscarriage **OUCH!**

I tried to support her as much as I can emotionally and financially... Or at least until she could get back on her feet and not let her be eaten up by flesh-slavery industry - my apologies for the term.. After more than 2 years of answering most of our "WHAT IFs" she's again leaving for Taiwan since the pandemic is over. She is a very strong woman... I have to admit that I LOVE HER but perhaps, I'm just an instrument to give her a little push into the path of her dreams again.

This time, she's no longer starting from scratch but from a good experience. Goodluck to her! Goodluck to me! Goodluck to us! Godspeed!

Thanks for having time to read my... our story!
