I think the preponderance of public CCTV in the UK answers that question. Recording someone in a change room or toilet might be different, but everyday activity, including anti-social behaviour? Its perfectly legal. CCTV's record people in public and common areas where they have no expectation of privacy. Covertly recording your wife during private encounters in your home is a very different animal. I'm not claiming to know the answer. Just that it's not as simple as we'd like to think, and doing it wrong can cause more problems than we started with. That's why my first advice is to get an attorney. Or the OP may make things worse for himself. Edit: Not being from the UK, I do know that you need permission of all parties to record a conversation in some US states, while other states just require permission from one of the participants. So you really need to know the rules before you go down that path, or you may end up in jail- with a recording that can only be used against you in court, and not in your favor during the divorce.

I couldnt use all the fingers of one hand to recall any successful relationships. The tripping point was invariably about money - your money I frequently show my gf my brokerage account and tell her when I die, if we're still together, she'll be taken care of for the rest of her life. This has allowed me to do pretty much what ever I want to do while having all the benefits of a loving, giving and peaceful live-in gf. My advice to the OP, protect yourself, see a lawyer and get the F- outta Dodge as soon as you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers I have seen warming bar stools, sprouting dribble, and falling over, indicates in many circumstances the IQ is not that high, or has diminished if it was ever any higher.

I try to put a little sarcasm or tongue in cheek into my posts instead of just coming out and saying that Farangs that get duped are stupid horny jerks. There are many guys on this forum that are bright, but have still succumbed to the "charms" of the opposite sex . Some of us "old farts" as we are called admit to a failure or two , no matter what our IQ. And amongst us there are many that later found success.

Odysseus123 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 The brain is a muscle.It is amazing to see how little exercised that muscle might be used in Thailand.

HaleySabai Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 She's definitely NOT a keeper! Any chance of getting her back to Thailand on a "holiday"...perhaps you could just 86' her there...assuming she wouldn't have any means of getting back to the UK to kill you! You got married in Thailand,right. This might be the loop-hole you need to get her talons out of your financial backside in case of divorce. Good Luck - save yourself and throw her under the bus -NOW!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traubert Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 19 pages, 16 of which are expats squabbling as usual. 13 of which are Americans shouting 'get a lawyer!' What I would recommend is that the OP reports to the Home Office that he's been duped into a fake marriage for visa purposes and she is making threats to ensure she gets ILR. He will get open ears in this as its a common enough scenario and the Home Office is well aware of it. They have even been raiding wedding ceremonies of late. There is a helpline number kicking about although I dont know it. Essentially this IS what is happening so there's no need for any subterfuge and it circumvents any police/legal/courts nonsense. Make sure you get to the Home Office before she gets to the Police and then she hangs herself by making a false report as you told them she has said she would. Job done.

SenorJorge Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I'm guessing that since he married her in thailand she's also his wife in the UK. What happens if he just dumps her in thailand and he never goes back there? Can she run up debt and mangle his assets from abroad? Leaving her stranded in thailand is easy. But what about him?

You make the rules and she has to follow then. If not she can <delete> off. That is what Thai women are used to. But obviously that's not what you did. You were not the boss so she is clearly the boss. And she does what she wants and you jump when she tells you to jump. Now it's too late to change your established pattern. good post, well summed up. id like to add, in many ways one gets what one deserve for going down this compulsory road for marriage, why dont people look before they leap, or maybe they do but just enjoy the jumping.

damen Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Take more surveillance video and audio of the abuse she gave you. Make her sort of angry to spill out her plans to threaten you. Once is out, report police, hired a better lawyer. Sue her instead. I'm laying out simple plans for you. - Buy lots of hidden camera for surveillance - Taunt her in order for you to record her worst behavior - Hired the best lawyer you can afford (Consult them immediately) - Hired a PI (Probably she got a bf in your country) Since she doesn't even let you touch. - Contact Police - Prepare all your experience, compound them nicely and give it to the press, mass-media. - Shame her, I will gladly help you personally summit to SANNOK news channel and similar. - Make sure you can win, don't give up or be soft on her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got older and stopped getting customers so it was back to the factories and offices with them. So it's very hard to tell what kind of woman you are really dating. And English ability isn't always a litmus test -lots of good Thai women speak good English from working in bangkok offices. Lots of bar girls just didn't care to learn more than "you buy drink me?" And "3000 long time you honey". I love my wife but I wonder sometimes myself. The harsh reality is if women in the west don't see you as a good catch then women here don't really either. They're after something else about you - usually money or immigration. I've been fooled once and divorced already. you are not a very good judge of women then are you ?
