  • Long distance ‘romance’ is a mugs game. Being a ‘holiday husband’ is nearly as ludicrous. She knows it and has moved on, so suggest you do the same. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    One of the numerous (other) suitors, on a dating website,obviously came in with a better offer. If this "ripped your heart out", I'm afraid Thailand is not for you.

    Never happened, still have contact with my Thai ex from 14 years ago.  I think you are over estimating the "sincere love for each other" part on her side and that she does have a new friend. You

Wrong example. No comparison.

Thai girl dump farang, farang dump Thai girl. Indeed no comparison!

No.1 rare and shocking, No. 2 standard procedure.

She has definitely moved on ....... you should do the same. Don't dwell on it .......... no point. She's found something else that just might be better than what she had ............. Thai thinking is their family & what she can do to improve her quality of life. It's always money, money & money ............ which is of course "survival" here. My view? ............... relationships are for fools here. The women are beautiful & enjoy your stay here ................. "pay as you go" ......... you'll be a lot happier! Good luck & happy hunting eh?

Mr Daveyh or whatever your name is your probably the most sensible reply. The moment the tires of the aircraft you are traveling in touched down on the runway in Bangkok the game begins. It's just like a computer simulation my friend.

All these farangs started the game without reading the rules no wonder they got into troubles.

I m going to write a guide book called  "How to play the Simulation Game in Thailand for the recently arrived Farang".Or perhaps a better title for the guide book should be "In Siam Nothing is Real."

The moment you become aware that it is all not real you got a big relief. You then start to enjoy life like what Mr Daveyh said in his enlightening comments.

...it never 'was'....

 

...so after she made all calculations....the decision was clear....

 

...do you really think you ever were 'the only one'....???

 

...move on...and hope she didn't cost you too much....

I'm not young & I'm not inexperienced.

 

What it is is I'm too good looking with a big banana but not rich enough. ?

I may not have read everything correctly, but I thought she didn't know about the BIG banana.  So that can't have had anything to do with it.

 

If you're not young nor inexperienced, you must be a bore.  Perhaps that's what it's all about.

She never would be.

Weak males allow that.....

Education is a place for the weak to study and the lame to work...total lack of maturity and business sense.

She probably thinks the op is gay because he didn't give her the meat when he had the opportunity

We do not talk about pimps here.

She lost her phone , her parents got sick, the buffaloes died, cant afford to buy a new phone, so no communications. Just hold on she will call you when everything is over. On another angle you can try calling your former colleagues to inquire of her whereabout

I am sure, you were the only foreigner she ever flirted with....without hopping in the sack....

Go get some. Show what a Casanova you are without breaking out your wallet, because that's what I didn't do & I'm not regretting that. I get a good laugh at guys like you

It would have cost 2500usd for a 2 week trip,  a few weeks or months after the friendship grew  some heat.  

It would have cost some dosh but then you would know.   I believe in internet romance but not mamy women can last more than 3 months without real touch. even if you had some sexy times on line or whatever term you used.    Then if things went well on your trip she could come to Canada and that 5,000$ would be an investment in your life.   Calculate it as $/ night. Are you going to keep living life through a window or jump on the rollercoaster?  

 

You must realize women and men look at the financial picture.   You did with her parents.  I do too.  So why not her.   It's hard for your type to compete with a slightly older but retired guy.  In Los support is big part of love.  Support for their family is love. Your support to them all is love.   That's why so many prefer the PAYASUGO system.

Hey if this term is new I want credit as the originator in Urban dictionary.

I think I can add some to a few chapters.  I think a modern book with modern tools is needed.  Those older books were written before dating sites matured and the line and FB.   Before these Thai gals networked so much.  I do think the book needs to start 2 months before wheels down.

What did you expect. Some have touched on the reasons already, you made no commitment, you flatly refused to help her parents even before any commitment. She was not prepared to waste time turning up a cul de sac!

A petulant 79 word response to a harmless, 7 word jibe.

 

Yes, you are SO over her aren't you?

If you were in thailand you would get a replacement within days or even hours, you would not be spilling your guts all over thai visa.

 

Must be cold and lonely in Canada, all things considered.

A Thai would cause you to lose face and thus she would would face if she came out and told you. Dude, this is not Kansas.

I retired in 2011 relocated to los.with a Thai lady that I met in Aus lived in aus for 13 years.after 1 year in Thailand and her heading off to hundreds of temples. I did a few with her but not as many as her. She meets a Thai lad. So after catching her out. Booked her on a one way ticket back to Australia.stayed alone for 6 months. Then met a lovely Thai lady we got on extra well. Then late 2016 she has a bleed on the brain never really recoved. Sadly she passed away in January this year.i think about her a lot. So sad but life can be so cruel. 

That is sad. Life can be cruel but try to be positive and you can meet another partner - there are many out there.

Without intending to hijack the thread (because I have been accused of same previously, on more than one occasion) I have to state that personal or professional loyalty does not seem to be a strong point among the Thais - even educated, upper-class ones.

 

I worked for two and a half years at Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University when I was suddenly advised, with two weeks' notice, that my services were no longer required (1986). 

 

I composed a reply to the relevant Committee, pointing out that they had offered me a professional position, having brought me down from Japan, and that such a peremptory dismissal was not an accepted professional way to deal with foreign staff.

 

This apparently hit a nerve because they gave me a six-month extension of the contract, to arrange further moves and employment. I found that none of the contacts I had cultivated were interested in helping me find another professional position in Thailand (including the academic who had first arranged for my hiring) even though there had been no issue or problem during my stay there.

 

My conclusion was that your employment is anything but secure, above and beyond what is stipulated in your contract. 'Out of sight - out of mind' seems to be the attitude of Thai associates, even those with whom one has closely worked and shared personally. I was accustomed to the kind of support you receive when working in Japan (admittedly, the other extreme) but was amazed at the frivolous attitude I encountered among those I knew and trusted.

 

Just sharing some experience that might be relevant. Just because an organization can use you, do not assume they have any lasting interest in your welfare.

You're a professional hijacker aren't you.

WELCOME TO THAILAND MATE!!!

Would not have a serious relationship with a Thai woman for all the tea in China.

Enjoy, get bored, move on, NEXT.

Thats my advice.

I know the happily married ones on here will disagree.

I dont really care.

If a relationship is only based on sex then yes, I understand why you get bored and move on. If you ever meet a woman and fall in love, you may find it doesn't get boring.

Did she find you active on a dating site? Maybe you were bored and just browsing?

Lose face, avoid confrontation....dreary me.

They are very  easily offended and precious aren't they?
