Such has it been for 10+ (closer to 15 actually) years for me. It all ends soon.

In fact, that is now the clear implication. In fact it's stated, though in different terms. So it's no sex for me anymore, and despite her excellent skills in the kitchen, living with someone I WANT to have sex with, and sleeping alone is not going to last long. Woman who use sex as a weapon, don't keep their men very long, and mine is on a countdown without an abort button.

Soup Nazi ... ALways loved Seinfeld

Thank you.

Yes, Thai women apparently have no problem slandering their former partners and telling tall stories to the police as punishment. Hiring hit men is a thing too, I know. The rage in this one is severe. It won't end well.

I don't disagree. This is not something I want to do, my hand is being forced by a situation that cannot be adequately controlled - or I would control it!

Should I infer from your post that I am old or that my GF is "a slapper"? That is about as far from the truth as it could possibly be.

Yes I know. A congenital health issue not relevant here.

I know, and she's got one in the family somewhere for sure :o Those two sound like the dregs of our species and in a Darwinian world would be deselected.

Did these woman have relationships with you before or after their murderous behaviour? The number of farangs that die in mysterious circumstances in Thailand is astonishing. I don't wish to be the next statistic, that's for sure.

Just the car, mainly because of the complications involved with getting it in my name (don't ask) 20-50K ????????

Some of you people must have no lives, no assets and share nothing. I have a lot of forwarding addresses and she knows and has visited all of them. This "pump and dump" mentality is strange.

I didn't write that, did I? From memory, I wrote that her job was to be a mother and faithful partner. I don't need a nurse now, and with a bit of luck, never. We haven't amassed anything. In fact I haven't either. I can't think of a single thing of value that I have "amassed" in Thailand since I met her (aside from the jalopy which isn't in my name anyway). That's an issue in my case as well. She was a young widow when I met her, so it's a real enough concern.

Who will be the first to blink? Obviously things are somewhat toxic at the moment and if she believed 10% of what comes out of her mouth during her tirades, she'd have left herself long ago - or knifed me. But she's still here and I'm still contributing to global warming ???? Clinically unstable she may be, but a fool she isn't

Before it was trivial, now it's overwhelming in volume and intensity.

Indeed. I lived in CA for a while. I know the feeling! We used to say our secretary was a General in the "Space Cadets" (referring the space between her ears, not the newly formed Space Force).

In an early post I pointed out that there is a clinical issue. Re-read that one. Personally, until recently, I've never considered her a freeloader. Not contributing $ to a relationship is not the same as not contributing anything to a relationship.

Have you ever tried to be rational with an angry woman? Venus & Mars and all that jazz ...

Working is unlikely to happen for several reasons, so a new patron it will be. The boy will soon be of legal age, he's not an issue. I own >1 condos in Thailand, we live in one of them. In these bizarre Covid19 times, unloading them quickly and/or without significant loss is unlikely so me disappearing completely out of Thailand is somewhat difficult. I fully expect a police complaint and a long sad story and worse, as she threatens with that and more whenever she is in a rage. Her rages make Thai TV drama look like a well behaved kindergarten. If these rages weren't so regular I wouldn't be planning to leave :(

"When I were a lad, we lived in shoebox in middle of road" But seriously, I grew up a few hundred yards from the pit head and while I have never had the misfortune of getting pogged on bread and dripping, it was a thing only a generation before me. I'll get it sorted. In the meantime I'll try and enjoy the "normal" times and survive the rest!

ok, because she loses face or she doesnt like to hear the truth? You'd need to ask her.

I would be happy to detail my economic position to you, but since you think it's all about money and that's unlikely to change, I won't. That's a telling characteristic for a lot of people. Here's a reality check: All partnership breakups amount to money. The relationships themselves most often aren't based on that. Thailand is apparently a bit of a deviant example though, but in general this is true. An ATM? Until quite recently (and In fact during her "rational" moments, that is probably still the case), anyone suggesting that to my GF would have ended on the receiving end of some vitriol. EVERY couple where there is one breadwinner and one family caretaker has one party who is the "ATM". This is not unique to Thailand, it is how our species evolved. The reason that divorce settlements are invariably about money, is because one party (almost invariably the female) sacrifices x years for the benefit of the family rather than working at something else. It IS nothing more than compensation and it is valued in $. I didn't invent the concept, it is what it is. I'll be happy to pay her and walk away without a knife in my throat. This thread started with a question about legal status (answered). It is always wise to know the basic law before entering into a negotiation or contract.

Maybe ... that depends how much anger has rotted her soul over the past couple of years

This will be the basic model. I'd probably set up a bank account with recurring payments for x months, as long as she behaves herself, doesn't have me whacked and whatever else I need to insure for my own security. I won't weep if she stays in the condo for as long as needed.

Oh, it's far longer than that and I did know it, roughly. But Covid19 and whatever has put me outside Thailand for going on 2 years, and laws and society change. I haven't really been following this very closely as it wasn't really an issue until quite recently. My GF seems to think she does have a legal entitlement and when she's angry and screaming, says so. Obviously she has the key to the condo (she lives there), but I doubt she could be classified as a squatter. Lawyers? Maybe. I am a child of a parental divorce, so I'm not going to throw them penniless on the street. There is zero probability of that. The son will graduate High School next year and then that part is done for us all because he can make his own way, and I'll help as required. Oh, we are not apart at the moment. They are in the same room as me now. This has taken a few years to develop into a toxic relationship. It'll take a while to back out gracefully.
