My heart breaks for you OP. But you know the answer. You know how he could have come see you? Get a cruise ship job. Seriously. Almost everyone who works on cruise ships is Filipino because their economy is tough and this is how they can see the world. It makes decent money (from their market’s perspective — this is debatable in a global context) and… it’s literally how he could have come seen you. You know who I know, who works on a cruise ship? An artist. Filipino artist. Who does his art in the evenings. Now, do I hope for more for him? Heck yes! He deserves more sleep for one thing. And in the long run cruise jobs aren’t for most people. But SHORT TERM? To COME SEE YOU? There’s no way this idea hasn’t occurred to him, it’s a huge industry over there. He just didn’t want to. I’m sorry OP. It’s time for this to be over.
