I AM AN EXPAT

Broken Marriages, is this a common thing now? As we hit the new generation, more and more cases of broken families are there.  As if, it's already normal for people to marry then divorce or get annulment/separation after a while.  This is not common in the Philippines before, as much as I know when i am still a child, couples tries to save the marriage as much as possible, for the sake of the children, reputation and so on. But as time passes by, separation and annulment in my country became a normal thing..  What are the common causes of this break-ups? The number one cause of it is: 1)  INFIDELITY  - or cheating, or adultery, or having an affair. Call it whatever you wanted but still it's the same.  The most excruciating feeling a partner could ever feel (believe me it is), is to be in this situation.  I don't know why this one becomes a common thing to couple, maybe because    a) LOVE IS GONE ? - There could be a lot...

Leaving your country for the first time would be very, very hard.  Just like what happened to me.  I've been working in my country for more than 10 years, leaving your comfort zone would not be as easy as you think.    Your family, your friends, neighbors, colleagues, the life you've been used to, your routine will change instantly. Before my flight, I am too much excited and nervous as well.  But as the day of my departure is almost approaching, the butterflies in my bellies are moving more and more, hahaha.  And when that day finally came I can't move my feet, leaving your family behind.  I told them not to bring me to the airport because what I've heard from people leaving the country, it is much harder if family are with you to say goodbye (our place is 5-6 hours land travel to NAIA - Philippines). So literally, I was crying so hard, so painfully that I need to get my things, put it in the car and release my arms from my sleeping angel...
