It would be extremely worrying "if" the wife asks the OP what he thinks about this. In my opinion that would not be a good sign what happens after that. ie. change of mind, perhaps willing to help, something going on behind OP's back etc.

Perhaps not, hence why he is bring it here, but you are spot on. If that was not my wife's reaction, there would be a very serious talking coming. No brainer, OP, grow a pair.

Not surprised considering the ridiculous figures they were quoting back in May.

Perhaps he doesn't want the tourist's coming stealing his thunder when he's out being a humsum man!!!

Yeah... T.I.T. - where logic makes no sense at all.

Maybe even some titttie bars

And all the bars operating just as before. There are a lot of lonely guys out there willing to part with all the money they saved during lockdowns and such, requiring that GF experience.

And why should we care about those, why? Thai forum Thai related, yet you think because it happens all over the world it somehow must be ok then???

You are spot on, but only to the weak, gullible and vulnerable....unfortunately, as they appear to be quite decent & caring people.

I'm gonna go against the grain and say I'm on the side that there's a good chance the kid is not even yours [OP]. DNA should be your main priority before parting with one more baht. If she refuses or leads you on some wild goose chase, that could be telling you something. Outside of this, its one thing to be generous & to get anything going with your child on your terms [if it ends up being yours], but rule with an iron fist. Your way or you walk. By now she should know what value there is with you in her life or not. They need have some fear instilled in them, that there is more to lose by not having you around. Then you have the issue of dealing with a drugged out **** which is another major obstacle. Good luck, it seems you're against the odds, but only you will know in the end to what lengths you will go to for an amicable agreement and relationship.

bahahahahahhahaha ????

Supply and demand. Punters should be getting some real bargains, like the good ol days!

Probably thinking the good times would never end. Unfortunately, no one could have imaged something like this, but they all had a chance to plan for the future. I'm sure some did, but most, <deleted> it down the toilet as fast as they received it.

Wifey is already one step ahead and sees the writing on the wall,hence the withdrawals without him knowing. Oh a marriage made in heaven.
