		<description>Oh I forgot to mention too .. she is in Jakarta and I&#039;m in Australia and we only get to see each other every couple of months for a few days visit. If she shows that much patience after we are married, I think we have a good chance.</description>

		<description>Maybe I&#039;m labouring under the conception that love will always endure in the end.  My Indonesian g/f is over 30 years younger than me, she knows my financial status has taken a serious downturn (pretty much broke!) since the GFC, she knows I dont have a house of my own (usually my home is a small 13 foot caravan), she has never once, in the three or more years I&#039;ve known her, expressed any heart-felt desire to leave Indonesia - especially never shown any sign of trying to use me to just get Aussie residency/citizenship.  She has been patient for almost 2 years while I&#039;ve gone through a separation and the 12 month divorce process.  She knows I&#039;m not likely to ever truly &quot;convert&quot; to Islam - she knows all the differences and yet has remained with me.  I can only hope that we will have a long (as long as I can stay fit and well) and happy relationship and not end up like some other mixed marriages that only last a few years.  She does like the fact that I still have my hair, and that I look a lot younger than my 56 years! I can only wonder what will happen if my hair goes, my belly increases, I get more wrinkles and perhaps, if I&#039;m lucky, more money.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Dave&lt;/strong&gt;, sorry to hear about your very bad luck. Although I must admit, the bigger the age gap, the higher the probability for story like that. In Asia these relationships are legend. 

I&#039;m not saying, that is what happened to you, but older men here are easily deceived by younger women. And it&#039;s happening every day. Most relationships with larger age gaps seem to fail here, couples staying together longer than just 5 years are mainly around or less than 5 years apart. 

Also Americans are probably more prone to fall prey, as some want to get married as soon as possible, or also due to the visa situation. If a woman stays with one for 1-2 years without getting married right aways, things usually look better and the chance of having a gold-digger are lesser, as most of them go for the &#039;low-hanging&#039; fruits and don&#039;t want to invest 2 years of their lives in an uncertain things without any love involved. 

Wish you all the best in the future. Just don&#039;t take it personally (it was probably just business) and don&#039;t let this experience ruin your ability to fall in love again!  ;-)</description>

		<description>Hello. Almost everybdy wants love but some use love to get what they want. MY americian friend married a woman who overstayed her visa from peru. He made her part of the business, sent her to college, bought her a car. His first wife had dies so his little sone called the wife from peru, &quot;Mommy&quot; One day the proud husband comes home to find it empty, the car was sold, the bank accounts empty, the credit cards maxed out adn the wife? Gone back to peru. He lost his condo, he lost his business and now lives at home with his mother. 

I met my now x ex peruvian at publix, She was another on ewho came her on a toursit visa and overstayed it. She was 17 years younger than me and took good care of me for a few years.  My wife started cheating on me two month safter we were married. She used to watch me leave thehouse from the window for work. Most other days, she got up early to walk to the dog to her lovers condo and be gone for an hour or so. She didnt want to even sleep with me or make love to me and that was a bad sign that I later understood. I convinced her to leave my house and she then went and filed false police reports for domestic violence and rape. 

All she needed was two police reports (Both made after she left) a few meetings with a counselor and a really cheap room at a womens shelter (She chose the shelter because she didnt want to pay rent and needed it as &quot;Evidence&quot; All immigration reguirs is two police reports and some counselig, they do not requre proof and do not even speak to the man. The restraining order court was full of women making false baseless complaints against men that they owed money to, cheated on or were after custody of the kids. out of 9 cases, only one had probable cause. It is very scarry for me being a professional. The false accusations harmed me in my career and I had to move and find another job becasue some of my competion spread around the accusations which were false. She ruined my repuation. I loved her and even went to he final immigration after she I found her cheating on me and after she made the false police reports. She was trying to get me to let her ove back in with me and pursued me for two years to get back together. watch out forany woman in the unitied States who overstays her visa. Once overstayed, you cannot return. But if you get married here, you can get residency and have all the right of an americian. I have seen this with european woman, russian women, italian, romainian etc........ and of course latinas. The thrid peruvian I know married a cuban guy much older and used to cheat on him,. She also made the same domestic violence claims to get her papers.   Man are not the only ones who cheat in the us of a either. I will never get married again.!</description>
