Johnny Depp Should’ve Just Married a Filipina

After the whole mess that is the Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard trial, it’s obvious to most observers that that woman is not fit for anyone at all.

That was Johnny’s only mistake. Marrying a narcissist.

Look, you can’t fault the man too much. Amber Heard was one of the hottest celebrities at the time. Her histrionic disorder made her appear charming, making everyone adore her and fall for her manipulative words. While Johnny was a fool for falling for her, we can also say the same for those of us who became her fans.

Which just makes this entire ordeal so much harder to swallow.

I believe that if Johnny had looked elsewhere for a bride, he wouldn’t have had to go through any of this.

Personally, I admire the man. I’ve been a fan for years and he was my idol growing up. I’ve had childish fantasies of marrying him, all of which faded as I turned into an adult.

But now, I can’t help but think about what would happen if he really went for a Filipina instead of someone like Heard.

Why a Filipina? Well, putting bias aside, Filipinas are known to be some of the best brides and wives in the world for a good many reasons.

Why Filipinas are the Better Choice

1. They don’t abuse their husbands

Marriage is big in the Philippines. It’s not perfect but you definitely wouldn’t find wives beating up their husbands. Sure, domestic abuse still happens, but that goes for every other country.

Regardless, people take marriage seriously in this country. You definitely won’t find many women like Amber Heard in the Philippines.

2. Cheating is heavily looked down upon

In America, women who cheat seem to be praised rather than scorned. For some reason, they get it into their heads that just because men have been doing it for years, women can do it too.

Newsflash: Cheating has NEVER been okay.

Whether you’re a man or a woman, the feeling of hurt and betrayal is the same. Some people who are overcome with the pain and shock of cheating do horrendous acts in turn. That should be enough of a sign for these people to say no to infidelity.

And yet Heard cheats on Johnny despite desperately holding onto him. She claims that he’s possessive, but she’s the one who goes around with other rich and famous men behind his back.

Filipinas value marriage a lot higher than that. For them, loyalty is extremely important. Cheating, to them, is considered a sin, as most of them are devout Catholics.

3. Divorce is the last thing on their minds

Even when things are going south in their marriage, they would rather resort to talking things out or even suffer silently than divorce their husbands.

In America, women make it a habit of divorcing their husbands just to get the money and the house. In the Philippines, it’s much easier to find a woman who will marry for life and love.

If Johnny had married a Filipina instead, he would have been in a happier marriage today.

Men, Pick Your Brides Wisely

Pick your brides using love, yes, but don’t let it blind you to obvious red flags.

From the bottom of my heart, I wish for Johnny’s happiness after the trial for he deserves justice and proper love. And I hope he chooses a better partner next time he decides to marry.

No one should be in a marriage like he has.
