My mind must be really fading. I do not know what was edited. Is there a place I can find my original post so that I can see what I did wrong and and then I will know not to do wrong again? If it was just grammar or something ok. I screw up too. If it was something offensive, I don't want to do it again.

It was just a misspelled word, which I fixed. No harm, no foul and no need to point it out to everyone. If I remember correctly you had written "patty girl" instead of party girl. :)

Ok. No problem. It is nice to know though and no need for me to point out except that everyone can see I had something edited for some reason. Thanks.

Which is why I would prefer that when anyone has a question about how we run things or why something was edited, changed or deleted that it not be done in public. As for this time, it was already a done deal and due to me being in the Eastern US time zone I didn't catch it until after all this was posted. Like I said, no harm, no foul and I'm sure that no one will think less of you because I edited your post. I certainly don't. I've edited just about everyone at some point in time. It comes with this thankless, non-paying job. ;)
By the way, from our rules:
"The moderators and I retain the right to delete, edit, comment, reject post, moderate, ban, reinstate members, or whatever else we feel may apply. And we are not required to provide notice or justification, though often we do."
Like I said, no harm, no foul. :)

Lee-Too has pretty much wrapped up the arguments for age gap marriages. It works for him, it works for others on this forum and it works for me.
But marriages/partnerships without 'love' can still work. Visiting the shopping malls in Angeles invariably means seeing a larger proportion of expats than many other locations. Last time we went there I was struck by the sight of several older men, one in a wheelchair, who were accompanied by and cared by younger Filipinas. My initial reaction was "why would a Filipina want this?". But after joking with my wife that that would be us in years to come I started thinking that if the 2 people concerned are happy with the 'arrangement' then all's good. Whether it is love, affection or a partnership based mostly on a financial working relationship - why not?
I suppose any relationship between an expat and Filipina, which fills a need of both parties, is fine. My eyes have been opened by the limited exposure I have had to expats and their partners in the Philippines, and I would not be as judgemental as once I might have been.
I suppose Filipinos might view all this differently.
