I've actually become a worse version of myself, after learning from my mistakes.

I tried to open a TMB bank account, they told me 'not for foreigners'. So I asked them why their website was in English. 10 minutes later account opened. I tried to open a Bangkok bank account. They said "not for tourists" I said, "I'm not a tourist, and showed them my 1 year VISA" Then when they brought me the application form it had "Account for Tourist" at the top. I said, "1. you told me no tourists, 2. I'm not a tourist so this is the wrong form" They came back with the correct forms and I opened an account. Amazing how ignorant Thai bank staff are about their jobs.

Quite often their TF 'name' is their LINE address. And if it isn't their LINE address will be offered in the first chat. I always found TF to restrictive for anything but initial contact (I ain't gonna pay).

And you are a prime 'soft lad'.

Who paid for the house build and solar install? I'm betting her contribution was ZERO cash that she earned or inherited.

Men not people ....... Women rarely buy life insurance, they don't care about their family after they die.

I was doing fine in a 30 year relationship .......... until I wasn't. Now I'm doing fine in a 13 year relationship ....... but not risking as much! Many men are a little delusional about their relationships.

Many men are a little delusional about their lives, is it really a lie if you believe it yourself? She is my best friend, how can you live with someone you don't trust, she is faithful to me, etc. All delusional!

They're all bad ones, if you stay with them long enough. The guys that think different are the guys that never had LTRs.

Never trust any woman and you won't have this problem (in Asia). Only give her what you want to give her. So many soft lads wanting to believe women!

What woman ever is?

They're not as common as your fear tells you. And most are easily cured.

So she pays 50% of everything in your relationships, 50% of restaurant bills, utils, housing, food? .......... I think not.

Subject is 'care homes' which cater for people who can no longer cope with living on their own. Health care is an entirely different topic, and usually furnished in hospitals. Care homes generally provide, food, accommodation, and 24hr monitoring/assistance. Plenty of old folk needing care homes but not needing health care. BaanLaLisa in Chiang Mai start from 20kbht/month (4 sharing a room). Seems to use the same photo as that in the OP. https://baanlalisa.com/nursing-home-chiang-mai-thailand/ They provide transport to and from the home to the hospital if you get sick at no extra cost (obviously you need to pay the hospital).

I never wore condoms with bar girls! Why do they have to wear condoms?

Most wives/gfs will also leave if you stop giving them money.

The first step in any full time agreement with a bargirl is to remove her from her environment/location.

As with any employment contract, you (the employer) make an offer, and she (the employee) can take it or leave it. Up to her! Mine keeps asking for a raise, but I point out the product is now well past its 'sell by date', she is free to leave/seek another employer at any time.

Glocks don't have a safety. Pull the trigger and it fires.

TTB gives 1.4% on their 'passbook only' savings account, if you have 5 transactions a month on your 'all free' account.

Why would I care about people I never met?

The whole point of visiting Thailand is to bang the locals. If you don't want them, why would you come here, there are many better places for everything else.

What if you are (like me) superior to almost everyone else?

The right to kill your children is not freedom.

I think 'credible threat' is the point. Housebound elderly folk can't really be much of a threat to anyone outside their house.
