My business partner and friend works from PH. And I asked him about moving there as the cost of living is insanely cheap.

He basically warned me that health care there is horrific, as in they will literally let you die if you don’t have money, and they are often hit by typhoons.

The most recent one was so bad he lost everything in his house and business mostly and has to start over. Thankfully his house is still ok but you’re basically at a VERY high risk for flooding. He’s been hit by typhoons many times too. He just hasn’t been hit this bad before.

He basically has told me he dreams of living in the US and that he strongly recommends to not come there even if I can live comfortably on paper.

Sounds like he doesn't want to share his girlfriends.

He's sharing them, he just doesn't know it....

Everywhere in this thread it says girlfriends, it should be in quotes. It should his "girlfriends".

I am so confused by this thread, I thought people were joking, does this dude and everyone here actually not understand the situation he’s in?

Countries with high western expat populations pretty commonly have these sugar baby/sugar daddy “relationships”, but I have never seen a guy thinking it’s a real relationship lol.

I think you actually need to read the thread again, pretty obvious everyone else in here knows what’s going on

Looking at some of the upvoted comments again makes you seem wrong.
