Oh you are awful......but I like you.

A bit extreme I thought but it spared the teen prison time and the the two cops the paper work which was all they were concerned about.

Arrested, how civilized. About 20 years ago an Englishman told me he was having his bar renovated on Koh Samui, the workers complained that two days in a row some of their tools had been stolen overnight, so he waited that night to see if the thief would return. Sure enough he caught a Thai teenager red handed and his wife called the police. When he handed him over to the two cops they asked the falang what he wanted done with him, surprised he said you're the police, arrest him. They just shook their heads and said the teen wasn't worth the trouble so they took him outside and broke both his arms......as a warning they said nonchalantly and then drove off leaving him groaning in pain.

A bit too royal for a Lamarche-saint-Louis.

Especially if he won't share it

He's Canadian, nowhere near St. Louis

He should be arrested for his name alone. If he has made a false statement and signed it he is in big trouble, this will be a court case.

I couldn't give a flying fart

This breaks my heart, it's beyond disgusting, normally I don't read anything concerning a child's death because it affects me emotionally, I made a mistake this time, I thought the child would be saved.

The worms are breaking out of the can.

I never received such a letter from Trendy House, the visa transfer wasn't a problem, took 20 minutes at Surin IO 8 years ago.

Yeah, the British embassy will swing into full action on this, an aircraft's engines will warming up at RAF Brize Norton air base right now because the UK looks after its citizens.......you're on your own mate. A second mortgage on his parents house and an IOU to His Majesty's Government and the embassy will do something.

She looks like a nice girl, what's her name, asking for a friend.

Reminds me of an incident 50 years ago, a colleague was woken up every night by a howling cat in his garden, one night he shot it with his 12 bore shot gun, the cat disintegrated. Checking what was left of it the next morning he realized it was his neighbour's cat, a little old lady, about 80 years old. He felt sorry for her and decided to break the news to her gently. He rang her door bell and when she opened he said, "Your cat has had a spot of bother." When he told me this I couldn't stop laughing.

So he is now 50k down

Only one funeral that I attended was very emotional. It was a motorbike accident death of a 15 year old boy, a friend of my son, he drove a motorbike late at night to buy alcohol for his alcoholic mother and was hit from behind by a car. The emotion erupted at the cremation. A choreography of the finest sort. His headmaster had arranged that all his male classmates assembled unseen behind the crematorium but still under its jutting roof. As soon as the smoke rose from the chimney, deep male voices roared out in an emotional sad slow hymn perfectly in tune with one another bewailing the loss of their comrade, it echoed all around the crematorium and beyond, everybody, even the monks, wept unashamedly, me included, it was one of the most honest emotional moments I have ever witnessed.

Buddhist concept, it is as it is. I watched my father-in-law die last night (78) the children did their duty holding watch all night for a week, one daughter had to drive 500 km to be there. He died at home, no pain, no illness. The last two days he didn't wake up and then, very undramatic, he just stopped breathing. Many people were there during the week making preparations for his death, laughing and joking within his earshot, all the villagers came and went. The room was crammed full when the monks came and did their chanting around the bed set up in the living room, the onlookers reciting when they should do. The monks had to come 3 times because, as his wife said, he was taking his time going. No tears were shed, his children were busy deciding which photograph to enlarge for the cremation service 10 minutes after his death, all very 'matter of fact'. I found it OK. What did disturb me was the lack of dignity when my wife and her sister changed his diapers in full view of whoever was present. A good time was had by all.

Depends on your age, financial status, debt ie mortgage, children, etc. divorce can be ruinous for both parties.

That is at best only a theoretical consideration. One changes throughout life, character and life goals aren't static and when two people are involved the equation becomes even more complicated.

This site only has the option of giving an opinion or advice, whether one could follow ones own advice if in a similar situation is uncertain.

Revenge? What new beginning is a 70 woman going to make? She has a home and apparently he is there most of the time, arranging herself with the new situation is probably more advantages, by accepting the status quo she could make her own life within this framework. His fling isn't going to last that long anyway at his age when he realizes he is just being used, there is no fool like an old fool.

A hansome wallet more likely

Why bother at that age, allow the status quo. After 48 years it's not a broken heart through a lost love, just disappointment and hurt pride, he too will wake up to the truth of what is really going on, let him have his last fling and don't make waves, you may get drowned.

On the other hand can you blame him

Because it is a second part really, I did a post about the bank's helpline and all their 'experts' who fed me nothing but platitudes and BS, through this experience I know a lot more than they do now, not that it helps me, I see this as causality at its finest, working for entropy.
