Filipinos: What are your views on a divorced woman?

Show all answers

girl ur looking for!

Divorced women are brave women because they were able to speak out what they want and what they need. Especially those buttered women because they have overcomed the problem they have.

Front view, side view, back, a profile, a shadow, its ever the same - a woman, to love and be loved.

They used to be castigated or looked down by society as the one who had done wrong, one who caused the rift or break-up of a marriage. Times have changed, however. These days, any broken relationship is not blamed solely on the woman. These days, society is more lenient or understanding towards a separated or divorced woman. There is no longer a stigma against a woman who has left her husband or vice versa for whatever reason or cause.

yeah, annabelle p said it, it's not the same as 20 years ago.but there are still many families who are afraid with the connection of this separated member from their former relationship, unless they are far apart, as in residing in foreign countries.

edit:
bato: not in his defense, even got TD's,he's right, it is a sad fact, many are more easily duped into a more dangerous liaisons.

I am a Filipina, though we are really thought to bear all odds when in a relationship, bear the pain of being hurt in the process. It's time filipinas should be brave to stop bearing these differences just for the sake of having your family together/ intact. We should stop accepting the blames of failed marriages.

In this century, martyrs are not "IN". I have high respect for women who are brave to leave their husband and moving on with their lives. ANd they even become more successful.

during the very early years, divorced women were looked down upon and were made to look as if there was something wrong with them that is why they are divorcees. however, times have changed. even if a woman is divorced, it should not mean anything except she and her husband need to separate from each other. there is no divorce in the phil because of consideration by the govt for the catholic church, filipinos being 90% catholics. women who have the courage to leave a marriage because she has had enough should be applauded for having done so. what usually stops a filipina from leaving an unhappy marriage is consideration for the children or for financial reasons. my vote would be for divorce to be legalized in the phil. however, we should have strict rules re. obtaining divorce. make it hard but cheap to get a divorce. so that those rich and fickle minded people who just want to change spouses would have a hard time getting divorced and those who have legitimate reasons but cannot afford the legal fees can get it. that would be fair for all.

I will view her as a very brave woman, unless she's been divorce for the nth time.

i have this great admiration for them for being strong-willed and stiff with their decision to let go and move on. especially to those who have kids and not getting any alimonies from their husbands. sad, but many women today ended up divorced. maybe there's a lot of stupid men nowadays or women of today were smarter than before.

nothing, just like a single woman.

it depends on the reason. if the reason is that she is being maltreated by her husband then, that is reasonable enough and definitely a good choice because that's what she should do before her husband kills her. but if the reason is that she finds someone interesting then for me its wrong to divorce. both parties should fix it. temptation is always present in a relationship and couple should fix it and should keep their relationship still healthy and strong. I mean couples did a sacred vow in front of god and should stick to it. isn't it more sweet and encouraging to look at couples who are very old and yet you see them having a date in a park holding hands and still are sweet to look at? that's what you call a healthy relationship a stronger one=) I jut hope that every couple could be like that.
being divorced is ok as long as it has a good reason and ont be stepping on anyones feeling and dignity=)

I am not Filipino, but I have Filipino friends if that counts. I think they all come from fairly conservative family backgrounds and divorce is not looked upon favourably. Of course that is true for many cultures and countries.
If you are in Canada or the US, you should be okay. Personally, I have no problem with it. I dated a woman who was divorced and had a kid. I am a woman too. No big deal.

IT'S COMMON. HAPPENING EVERYWHERE IN THIS WORLD. FOR ME, THEY ARE HUMANS TOO AND THEY ALSO HAVE FEELINGS, LIKE YOU AND ME.

In the Philippines where double standard of morality still exists...I'm afraid that divorced women are always look as IMMORAL...not contented/satisfied with one husband....etc...etc...

Personally, they are brave and fighter...the real martyr...especially in the kind of society we have...
