My Filipina wife began a relationship with a guy she met at the gym, who treated her like this - worse even. She came home with her eye swollen shut and bruises all over her body from his punches, but she refused to stop seeing him. In fact it was HIM who threatened to break up with HER. But she was always on the phone, begging him to take her back! She told me she was sprung on him because he was a REAL man!
