What security did the family put up for this loan ?

Your house ? Or you ?

If he was to set up a school and teach the art of living on $ 300.00 / month, I would be the first to enroll the wife.

It was my Birthday last month. My wife told me what she wanted for her Birthday. Me, I got FA.

Reversible Vasectomy - I don't know if this is possible or not, but I do know there is a procedure where they can extract sperm from a man that has had a vasectomy and use that. A friend of mine living in Indonesia had this done (clinic was in Indonesia, Surabaya I believe).

An old story with a new twist.

I always enjoy reading these Harry Potter stories.

Maybe your girl has already decided that you are NOT the one, and she is just treading water until the right guy shows up.

You could always rent the apartments left & right of you plus above & below, leave them empty and use them as a sound buffer.

Is this Lawyer the Defence Lawyer or the Prosecutor ?

I would start by unplugging the rice cooker every time I went past it, and plug in the toaster.

Why the need to say "ladyboy" in the headline? What if he were gay, or bisexual?

Because he is a Ladyboy. That is his job.

OP you may love your wife, but she has let all this happen. As you said she had all now she has nothing. She may have pressure from the family, but there comes a time where she must say enough is enough OR if not its time for you to move on.

I know it is easy to say (hard for you to do), but if it was me I would have already left, she went way past the limit.

OP your problem is NOT how to reduce your cost of living, because you are NOT LIVING you are just EXISTING.

As others have said you need to increase your income to meet your expenses.

I am more concerned about posters tips on how to cut costs and reduce spending. NO popcorn, NO cake, No whatever. You put even the Cheap Charles to shame. Do you guys really live this life ?

OP continue to enjoy the things you like, but top of your list must be to find a new job.

Not easy to agree on a price it would appear. Two days of discussions and a shooting.

Now son, watch and learn. This is how you do it.

If you want to remain in Thailand then you need to find a suitable school (both education and fee wise) even if it means re-locating from Phuket.

You said you are not working, so invest some of that spare time into the kids education, you can teach them a lot. If you are only in Thailand part time and you work in the UK maybe you should consider taking them back.

I think Thailand should be considered as a great place to develop your own stills in home maintenance and repair, we should all be on ED-Visas.

Even if you don't do the job yourself you need to learn a little about it so as you know when they are cutting corners and BS you about what is happening.

A lot of tradesmen are only capable of putting lipstick on a pig.

Can not help with your request. But I would be interested in hearing about the display you are preparing as it progresses. If you do find the carved aircraft please add a photo and some details.

Thanks.

Out of Pity for what ?

She has no legs.

She has some handicap.

Or

She has no money.

She has a family that needs to be taken care of.

What would make you feel this pity.

Very sorry for your loss. It sounds like the two of you made a great couple, sad that it came to an end so soon.

Stay in touch with the family, sounds like a very nice family.

So OP, what was the final decision ? Stay - Go - Update House - Drop the House update ???

OP, I believe you have made reference to the Land and House being yours, well it is NOT yours and it will NEVER be yours. It may go to your wife when the old man goes toes up, but as the elder sister has taken a loan against the Land you had better hope that father-in-law does not pass on next week. If this happens I would suspect that the sister will not continue to pay the loan and all your wife / you will receive is the choice of paying off the sisters new car or allowing the bank to take the land.

I really think it is time for you to rent or buy your own house and live happy. Good luck.

Costas, if you have a couple of virgins left over when you are finished point them in my direction. At least it will make the trip worth it.

I think the Wife might miss me, well at least until everything is settled.

So when is the release of Fast & Furious 8.

I could think of a lot more words to describe the Ex-Wife.
