Thank God for small mercies.

I can see that you and your cronies are still here...enjoy TV then.

I am outta here since its the same old p_______bunch.

but if you don't take the advice you're a bluddy fool. You know what they say about fools and money, and you are the living proof.

Better be careful as I called him stupid and Dr. PP said I was flaming...

Not actually flaming, it's a true fact.

I guess things have not changed much on TV eh? I havent been here for quite a while.

Reiteration...........

From what I see from your postings here, you don't really want advice, you just want someone to tell you what you want to hear...which is that the bitch is worth it and to stick around. This is not likely to happen as no one is THAT stupid.

She may not be a go go girl but she is definitely a "go go get all his money girl!"

I swear on a stack of bibles that my story is 100% true. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction

If it is really true, then you are on of the MOST stupid person I have ever met......and stubborn too.

Are you that ugly or desperate that you cannot find someone else?

can't you stop her UK Citizenship process? I would do it just so spite her as it would be easier for her to get to Switzerland if she has a UK passport rather than a Thai passport.

Will you listen to yourself for christ's sake?? You are making a whole load of excuses. Did you read what I said at all?

You need more self restraint and will power. Stop hanging out where you used to, change your phone and stay in a different hotel etc. If this woman wants your money, she will know how to get it......probably with sob stories etc.

IMO, it all boils down to YOU. You let her do this to you, you have no one else to blame but yourself.

Be a man!

What do you like about her? The fact that she is screwing someone else on the side, lies to you through her teeth and wants all your money? That's love? Wow, she really must love you a great deal.

I think you need to find out what love is really about......and grow up. I hate weak men.

She says she loves me and not him.

Bloody hel_l, if you are really that DUMB, no one else can help you.

Are you putting me on? You believe a woman who lies to you and is ######ing someone else? What are you? A complete moron?

Move to another country and have break all contacts with her (email, cell phone, phone etc).

Mark my words, you will end up losing more than money....get a divorce PRONTO, what are you waiting for? For her to come back to you? She will keep doing this (having affairs) because she knows she has you wrapped around her little finger. Don't be sooooo stupid.

I reiterate.....think SMART like your name.

Dump her fast before she gets all your assets, that's obviously what kind of woman she is. It's crystal clear from your post, can't be any clearer than that.

She is just after your money and everyone elses for that matter. You will be much better off without her. No brainer there. Time heals all wounds.

Think with your correct head and not the wrong one. You used Maxwell Smart for a username, then act SMART then.

Sorry if this is a little blunt/direct but it's just so obvious without having to think about it.

The truth hurts doesn't it?

I have but that was 2 years ago. Mine was free.

Why don't you just call them and ask? You would get precise and correct information.

Weather is beaauuuutiiiffuuulllll Explorer! Nothing sets a Christmas mood better by having a white Christmas. Soft clean snow on the ground, nice warm drink and nice cool pleasant clean weather! Fresh air (breathes deeply)!

Christmas was great, had lots of pressies!!

Hope you spent your Christmas and your upcoming NY in your home country!

Educate your daughter in the UK. NOt here unless you can afford an International School and even then they are not that great.

If you want her to learn to think for herself then keep her out of schools here.

I strongly agree with the above!

My dilemma is this should I sell up & get back to where I am comfortable

Extracted from 1st post.

I would advise against selling up. Had a friend who did that and lost everything he had. He is back home living with his mother now.....and he is 45!

If you can afford to move to LOS with what you have without having to sell anything, then that's fine. If not, do not take the gamble! No risk is worth it.

Nice to make your acquaintance too Glauka!

Happy Holidays.

Thanks Brit and Jeff!!

Something to ponder on for the New Year.

If you have absolutely nothing in UK left for you, then move. Just remember, visiting/vacationing is way different from actually living in a country.

Hi All

Just wanted to wish those who know me and all the nice members of TV (not the not nice ones) a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2006.

May the new year bring your family and you much joy, happiness, health, contentment, luck and wealth.

Cheers

Brit.........Prostitution is not legal in TH?? But I see them everywhere, just that they have a different name for it. They try sooooo hard to deny it and hide it, don't they?

You are right, prostitutes are easy to get but a real relationship is not. Just the other day, I met a guy (nice looking, mid 30s, slim and tall) who told me it was difficult for him to find a gf in Europe because the women were too picky and thought he was not stable enough. I was dumbfounded as if he was in Asia, he would be snapped up like hot pants on sale (pardon my expression, just lightening the mood)

Once again, I stress, it all depends on the strength of the relationship. It always takes two hands to clap.

Definitely in your face and its rather comical when you think about it!!!

Quite right.........it is very comical to see women stumbling, fighting (wrestling in the mud) clwaing at the other, spitting..... to try to get the man's attention! Get a grip already!!!

Your happiness is what counts. If they don't like it, too bad! They are not paying your way in life. If your friends cannot accept it although you are happy......you still call them friends?

A lot of people accept homosexuals now.....so why not "transexuals"? Men are scared of them because it makes them insecure about their sexuality (?) and women see them as competition (?).

I wouldn't bother what others would think.........not their life, not their money and not their business.

Good luck.

In order to have a real relationship, there must be TRUST. Without that, it would be difficult. I am sure your guy is a good guy, if not you will not be with him. Don't listen too much to stories, there are positive ones and there are negative ones. It all depends on the couple's strength and relationship.

"Fidelity - ask yourself this would he cheat in the west? If no then I'm quite positive he will be no different in thailand. "

As for the above, I would have to disagree. Not saying that your guy is ugly or anything but the chances of a western guy getting laid in Europe/US/Western country compared to Thailand is less likely than in TH??? Even the butt ugly ones can get a shag in TH. The women in Europe/Western countries are more picky. Moreover, the Thai women are more.....errr....."persuasive" and persistent.

I am likely to get <deleted> for this, but it's quite true if one thinks about it.

Good luck with your move. I moved there 3 years ago and I am out.....and still with the same guy!

sometimes I think world sucks!, you can be loyal to some one, but you never know, life changes all the time, WE MUST BE PREPARED,

I applaud your attitude in life..........very realistic.

Hi Ladies

Just thought I would share my thoughts and experiences having been a female expat in TH and having left TH. I left TH for Europe more than 3 months ago after having been in TH for 3 years. Hubby was transferred, so naturally I gave up my career and moved on too. Not to say I was not happy to go, I was, especially after 3 years in TH.

I must say it is a semi-relief to be out of TH. I, for one did not like the congestion, pollution, loudness and hustle and bustle of TH. I had to get out of BKK at least once a month or I would go mad.

I personally have found some very nice friends and some people who are real hypocrites. When I was getting ready to leave, there were mixed-feelings. One part of me was sad to leave and the other was relieved to go.

Being back in Europe and having adjusted to the life here, I must say I am glad to be here. The only thing I miss is the real Asian cuisine. Asian cuisine in Europe sucks, big time. It has been adapted to European taste buds, hence....yucks.

What I noticed the most in Europe was that most of the women are very confident and if they are single, they are fine with it. I also do not see any begging, crying or wailing for the man not to leave. I would say it is much different in Asia. Sure, a lot of people say they are fine with it but inside, most are not.

That's my 2 bits for today. I am sure I am gonna get shot for saying the last bit.

Have a great weekend.

I chose birth control pills as a contraceptive. Had accidents with other forms of birth control and using the pill is less hassle and easier to deal with.

I would recommend going to a gynaecologist to ensure that you take the right kind of pill.

Breaking up may sometimes be hard and other times not. It all depends on the reason for the breakup and whether the break-up is mutual. Just be strong and do it if you have to (i.e. no more feelings etc).

I would suggest moving to a different area after the break-up in order to move on. Change apartments/house if you think the house makes you think of him more. It is never easy to let go and move on but only YOU can do it, no one else can.

I know of a lot of expat women working in Thailand, mostly English teachers. Some like it and some move back home after a year or so. Moving to a different country is not the same as visiting.

Whatever you decide, good luck and never look back with regrets once you have decided!
