Well it turned out that she was not so traditional after all.  I'll tell you what happened.  After we got married I found out she had been married before and had two daughters.  They were in her ex-husband's custody.  A year after we got married, the ex-husband sent them back to her, and she said 'My girls are coming back now; you can leave if you want.'
 
So I felt pretty bad.  She had deceived me.  I was clearly not her first priority.  And how could she make a vow before God in MY church (we got married in Saskatchewan) only to say a year later I could leave?  But I decided to forgive her and stick it out.

Up to that point, we had a pretty good life.  I was working very hard for a number of years and had saved $10,000.  She was not working.  I had paid for our trip to Canada and was paying for our life in Taiwan while we had a plan to save more money and move back to Saskatchewan and buy a house.
 
But when the girls came back, that plan went down the drain.  Our living expenses increased six times.  We had to get a bigger place to live, our food bill increased four times, we had to pay for the girls school because there is no free gov't. education here.  And we were constantly fighting over money, and she complaining that I 'wasn't taking responsibility for her girls.'  But their father wasn't paying anything, I was paying.
 
Without my knowledge, she was withdrawing money from my bank account until there was nothing left.  I lost my job last year and decided to take some time off.  I went to the bank and found out there was nothing left.  I confronted her and she got mad at me and told me to get another job or get out!  It was a pretty vicious fight.  I packed my clothes and books, got on my motorcycle and rode south to Kaohsiung.  Since then I've been living on my own and working, trying to rebuild my savings.
 
Now I know plenty of other men here who married Taiwanese women and are much happier--but they married young single women who didn't already have some other man's children.  That's the point here: doesn't matter what race the woman is, when a man gets involved with a divorced woman who's had another man's children, only trouble will come of it.
 
I feel so stupid and so used.  I've learned a valuable lesson and will be very selective in the future.  For a few months I drowned my sorrows in alcohol, but now I've stopped drinking and am on the way to rebuilding my shattered life.  Next year I'll be forty, so I'm still in my prime.  There is still time for me to achieve financial security and find true love.  The world is a big place and no government controls me.  I have been knocked down, but I have picked myself up and am carrying on.  My head is bloodied but remains unbowed.
 
Thanks for listening and let this be a lesson to all men in Asia and everywhere else: stay away from women who will make you pay for their previous mistakes

This story is a very good reminder that not all is well in the rosy world of Asian brides. I rarely hear such things. I have heard of a man who was dead after a couple of years to a Filipina (she had gotten her family over here by the time of the death) and I have spoken once or twice with a dissatisified husband but for the most part I hear nothing but praise and wonder at the goodness of these women. And when these women make advances toward me, they speak highly of their ability to make their husbands satisfied. Thanks for the article, Henry.

This sounds a lot like the circus sideshow relationship my younger brother had (maybe still has, we are uncertain) with a gold-digging Filipino woman. She had a husband in the Philippines who left her with their son, whereupon she promptly left for Canada (Saskatchewan) and struck up a common-law relationship with an older, very well-off man in a rural town. She was taking his money and sending it home to her family and son in the Philippines, though she also had at least one other younger guy on her string, also. When her meal ticket eventually died, she got the remainder of his money (screwed the family) and took what she wanted for herself, shipping the rest offshore.

Along comes my brother, whom she met through another dupe. She takes up with him, getting him to buy her things (which she would hock for money to send home) and fix her old car, run errands, etc. He bought her a new car, which she promptly pawned, (on at least a couple of occasions) then he would find out and buy it back for her. (Don't worry... it gets even MORE bizarre!)

She once asked him to marry a friend of hers stuck over in the Philippines, to bring her over and then divorce her after she was safely landed. She never asked him to marry her, though. I guess because it would have complicated the two other scams she was running concurrently with two other suckers, unbeknownst to him. One of those dupes showed up on my brother's doorstep, one night, claiming the car my brother had finally confiscated from her from the last time she pawned it, telling him she owed him money and she'd given him the car as collateral. He was promptly run off, and after that I believe the truth finally dawned on my softhearted/headed brother that his honey is the Antichrist personified. I don't know where the bitch is, now, but, I'm sure she's working some other rube/s for everything he's/they've got. In my experience with this witch and from others' I know, all Caucasian men are to these oriental sirens are two-legged wallets, pure and simple, and Canada is a place for the plundering.

Our liberal-with-the-taxes, touchy-feeley, politically-correct government is to blame, too, for the laxness in supervision over whom or what gets into this country. I've seen so much abuse of the system and the pilfering of hard-working, indigenous Canadian's tax money, flushed down the tubes to these parasites whom only steal opportunities from those that were born and raised and contributed to the tax base in this country, whilst creating an even bigger social burden upon it. Canada and dupes like my brother are simply a means to an end to immigrant Medusa's like these. The daily injustices perpetrated by these opportunists, inclines me more and more toward racism, every day!
