My wife and I have been married for 2 years The marriage is unregistered and we have no kids. 80%of the time all is well with the world and then she occasionally goes batshit jealous (usually when I get ready to leave the country for work) is there any legal fallout of I walk away as im about fed up. 

"is there any legal fallout of I walk away as im about fed up"

 

ABSOLUTELY NO !!!. 

But it sounds like she loves you and just gets in a panic, when you leave for work...worried you wont come back.

 

My wife was similar for a few years.. It's taken time to build up trust in the relationship..

Not gonna try and tell you what to do but if you have any feelings for her, then tough it out, you have nothing to lose.

My marriage was registered, so I had and still have lots to lose

Would you rather see she is very happy to see you go. !!

As the op is not married he has no legal obligations.

With respect,  have you asked her and talked through what the imaginary things are or are you looking/wanted an excuse to leave.?

No I like being with her  I just get aggravated every time we go over the same issues. I explain them and she agrees then the next time I get ready to roll out the last three days are unending irrational conversations. Lol. Women. ?

I went through it as well... It gets better over time !!! Hopefully....

Even if legally married, since there are no children involved, the family court would only order a 50:50 division of any assets in Thailand acquired after marriage. 

 

Thai civil and commercial law doesn't recognise common law marriages.  There are only a few legal situations where cohabiting with someone of the opposite sex has any legal force.  One is where a Thai person cohabiting with a foreigner buys land and needs to make a declaration as if they were married.  But that is not enshrined in any law.  It is just in a letter of 1999 from the Interior Ministry to land offices which ended the previous ministerial regulation that Thai women married or cohabiting with foreign men were barred from buying land completely.

if she worked in a bar  legal and proper job not sex at night would you think what she might be up to some times who chatting her up   i use to get jelouse  at first now im ok after 13 years  if you feel you want to leave then go but i think she more worried there other fish out there you might be interested in and dont want to lose whats good for her

I’m old, once upon a time morality was as important as legality, times have changed!!

You are not married.  End of.

 

Therefore, leave if you so wish or stay for more of the same.  Up to you.

Why do you think you are married ?

why don't you take her with you this time so that she can see that you are faithful to her because there are many farang that do cheat on their wives when they are not around and it needs for you to show her that you are not like many other farangs, unless you are cheating on her

So in Thailand a defacto relationship is not looked at legally. Hmmm..

That's because it's not.  Not sure what your point is.

You obviously don’t care for her, if walking away is so simple ! 

80/20 happiness sounds like most married couples of the world.. also asking about legal responsibilities, hmm here in Australia we call it a defacto relationship !!

Correct.

 

You try claiming bank Balance’s, pensions (as a Thai ‘widow’) without a marriage certificate.

Assuming you are not trolling - there may be a reason for not coming back on here, put it another way...

 

Do you have a marriage certificate ?

Point is, he’s married and she could easily prove so, with wedding photos and witnesses ! Being legally married by registration may not be required.. as a friend was never registered, but the courts ruled he had to give wife half his assets in Thailand

Australia is not LOS.  There is absolutely no legality to a village marriage ceremony.  Why do you keep banging on about it when it doesn't change the fact that it has no basis in Thai law?

Please provide a link or substantiate your claim, otherwise we all know you're talking nonsense.

A village ceremony is not a wedding,  it's a blessing on the couple.

For some strange reason, mihalis, believes it's a legal marriage.  Waiting to hear back from him on this most salient point.

Been there myself with two different Thai women.  Would like to think I am a reasonable person and made a decent effort at working through things but both times I eventually decided (after wasting way too much time) that it was best to walk away....  Good luck, it isn't easy working through issues with Thai women!

My thoughts exactly,  I was wondering what an 'Unregistered Marraige' was.........did he actually get married in an Amphur, or did they do the 'tie a string around his wrist' ceremony.........which Thais seems to think is a formal marraige.   It amazes me that a lot of Farang's refer to their spouces as "My Thai Wife"  would the  call there wives back home, my dutch wife, my american wife, my british wife I call my wife  "My Lady".........becauase that is what she is to me,  we have lived 20 years together and not 'married' in the traditional sense of the word.  -  I don't believe in the institution of marraige, don;t need a piece of paper to tell who is my soulmate.  and it has become a cash cow for far too many women...............

it's only a legal marraige because the Thai's think it is, how many thai men just abandon their families??  because the marraiges are not legal...........it is only a blessing of the couple by the relatives, like a promise ring or somthing teenager's do in he western world.

some States in the US call in'Common Law marraige' if you have been living together or  certain period..........many a GI has been caught up in that in Alabama, Kentucky, Georgia etc etc
