Am I a sucker for falling for her?
Gulong Ng Palad



Dear Ate Lena,

   Mayroon akong isang babaeng dini-date ng may sampung taon na, at our
relationship is something that I can describe na “hot-cold” relationship.
Matanda siya sa akin, she’s 56 & I am 46 years old. Siya ang may say sa aming
gagawin sa aming buhay, what you’d call she’s in control.  To tell you the
truth, I am really very fond of her, kahit na ganoon siya.
   Last year, nang gusto niyang pumunta ng Europe at wala siyang pera, ay
ginastusan ko siya, mula plane fare, hotel, meals, at lahat-lahat na for two
months vacation. Most importantly, we had so much passionate love-making that we
both enjoyed. Enjoy kaming dalawa talaga!
   This was followed by another vacation in Australia and New Zealand, na the
same situation rin. Ako lahat ang gumastos at we both enjoyed our passionate
lovemaking once again.
   This year, she wanted to fly to the Philippines.  I had to shell out again
for her plane fare and hotel accommodation. But this time, pagdating namin sa
aming expensive hotel (Shangrila Makati), she declared that ayaw na niyang
makipag-lovemaking sa akin. Never again daw, and I was so stunned! At hindi
naman ako ang tipo na gagawa at mag-eenjoy sa “horizontal refreshment.”  Hindi
naman ako nag-pakita ng galit at ako ay acted like a perfect gentleman pa rin sa
kanya.
   Ngunit pagdating ko dito ay nagalit ang aking mga friends ng malaman nila
ang ginawa niya sa akin.  Sucker kaya ako sa pagpapagamit sa kanya? Mali kaya
ako by not showing my anger for the dirty trick that she did to me?

   Ang hindi ko maintindihan ay bakit tinrato niya ako ng ganoon, na para bang
walang respeto at ginamit lamang ako? Do you think I still have to see this
woman?

                   SUCKER???



 
Dear Mr.Sucker???,


   This special girl you fell for got you hooked up  with her passionate sexual
activities (which
both of you have enjoyed), in exchange with those expenses personal expenses
which you shelled out in your frequent travels with her.
   By the way, what kind of work do you do, and what does she do? It amazes me
that within a year you were able to take vacation to three countries, You must
really be
loaded to pay for all the expenses. I wonder if she gave you a little bit of
share in those travel expenses.

   Iyong nangyari sa Pilipinas, hindi mo man lamang ba siya tinanong kung bakit
biglang nag-iba ang kanya atitude towards you? Kagilas-gilas ang iyong reaction.
Hindi ko masabi na ikaw ay gentleman o ???. Hindi ka ba nagalit o nagpakita ng
pagdaramdam?

   Maaaring sa tagal ng 10 years relationship, nahihiya lamang na manggaling sa
kanya ang tanong na, hanggang kama na lang ba ako?
   Please analyze your relationship with her.You never mentioned anything about
"love."

   To love and be loved. Trust, honesty, respect, caring and concern for each
other, are the true essence of love and being loved. Being fond of each other
and being in love are two different things especially with your age difference.
   Both of you must seriously examine yourselves and your feelings towards each
other.
   Mag-usap kayo ng masinsinan. May kasabihan tayo "na ang nagsasabi ng tapat
ay
nagsasama ng maluwat" (telling the truth & expressing what you feel results to a
long-lasting relationship).  Hindi tama na hindi ka na magpapakita sa kanya.
Sabihin mo na nasaktan ka sa ginawa niyang pagtrato sa iyo. Kailangan mo ang
kanyang paliwanag at alamin mo kung ano ang gusto niyang mangyari sa inyong
relationship. Magpakalalaki ka sa pakikipagtuos sa kanya.
   My goodness ang laki yata ng nagastos mo. Hindi basta- basta iyan unless
you’re a millionaire or billionaire or something. At also, try to find out for
yourself, ano ang mas importante sa iyong buhay, sex or money?
     I hope I have enlightened you in some way.  Good luck.

             Ate Lena
