Thank-you all for your advice. Some were very helpful, others as I expected not so much. But thank-you all. It has given me much to think about.

Firstly, my apologies Sheryl for posting in the wrong section.

I have been covering many of her bills since the factory she worked at in Ayutthaya was flooded, I have not minded this. Now she is asking for a large amount of money to open a shop with her brother.

Her Brother is putting in half the cash and she is putting a lot of pressure on me to foot the bill for the other half about $7500. Her concept is so she can earn her own money and look after her family, and I won't have to work so hard to send her money every month. I understand her idea, but is this just to get a large sum of money, knowing the strength and blindness of my love for her and her children?

I guess I just need an outsiders perspective.

Hi all,

I would be most grateful if I could get some advice from a Thai woman’s perspective.

In so many forums throughout the internet I have found only bitter Farangs giving destructive advice about relationships with Thai women.

I am already embarrassed about asking this question, and I am prepared to receive a lot of flak for even asking this. However, my girlfriend and I have been together for about three years. I have met her family, and her two daughters about two years ago (youngest is now 9 and the oldest almost 12). I love them more than anything in this world, and I know the children love me so much. Lately my girlfriend and I have had some difficulties and it has led to some arguments. Now my stupidity and insecurity has got the better of me. I ask, would a Thai woman use her children to scam her Farang boyfriend?

And yes I am feeling ashamed and stupid for asking this.

Thanks
