It takes a lot of hard work and commitment to develop and sustain a long distance relationship (LDR). For those who are willing to give it a chance to keep it alive, they must be willing to stay committed and never let temptation and hopelessness distract them. It needs 100% commitment and if you give less, it will never work out.
The challenges of LDR are probably the most difficult to win for couples and this is one of the battles being fought by some Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and their spouses. Another OFW story related to LDR issues has gone viral and is now the talk of every social media site.
Marian Santiago Barte, the wife of an OFW Nathan Barte who works in Alaska has shared her story on Facebook lately about her husband who cheated on her with his workmate abroad. Marian stressed her grief and heartaches in her post for losing her husband to a woman named Maggie Mae de Jesus.
Her post, which was reposted and shared a thousand times got varied opinions from netizens who are mostly furious about the lady named Maggie who flirted with her husband. Marian stated she got married to Nathan in 2016 and blessed with a baby girl and lived an almost “perfect” life as a couple and a family until the trial came in 2018.
In her post, Marian said that she knew from someone who knew Nathan that he was having an affair with Maggie. It was not clear in her post whether or not her husband Nathan admitted he was guilty but she further expressed her disappointment with her husband who allegedly said that distance was the reason for falling with Maggie.
Despite everything, Marian still wished her husband and Maggie good luck and said that if both of them are really happy together they can go on with their relationship. She asked Maggie to take care of her husband.
On the other side, a certain Maggie Mae de Jesus also came out in the open and told her side of the story. She expressed her grief and regrets for the heartaches and pains she has caused Marian and her family. She explained that she was weak and fell into the sweetness of Nathan to him. According to her, Nathan was sharing to her his disappointments about his wife Marian.
Maggie was quoted saying, “He told me everything his wife couldn’t gave him, all her runts, her complaints about the money, her judgments towards him and everything. He even told me that she couldn’t even say things that he was longing.
“I’m sorry for the words Mrs. Barte but that’s what your husband is telling me. Everyday he kept on showing me the care that I am searching for, he was so kind, pure, sweet, handsome not knowing that I was already falling for him.
“Yes I know, I am “marupok” I am “kabit” I am “ugly” I am not “perfect” and that’s my fault. That’s why I admit it and I am here to take all the responsibilities on what I did. Go on, bash me. I know it’s my fault but I already cut ties with him…” Maggie posted on the Facebook account she made exclusively to air her side.
Many netizens reacted to both Marian’s and Maggie’s posts and they have varied opinions but most of them expressed that the blame is still on Maggie for flirting with Nathan considering the fact that she knew he is married.
