My husband of 48 years keeps disappearing to Thailand and sending hundreds of pounds there every month - but when I question him he says it's 'none of my business'

[kcpattaya]

Assuming this is her....
I would never come back.

So funny... "why does he do it"?   lol

[wombat]

It puzzles me why she didn't go to the Gambia along with all the other UK women who holiday there...I mean fairs fair and all those suck of the sav clichés

There are two sides to every story. Personally, I don't understand why he wouldn't just get a divorce. But, it is very possible he has not had sex at home in years. And there could be multiple issues. She would be smart to just let him do his thing. 

Maybe smarter to secure the shared assets, house money etc... before he gives it away to the girls in Thailand.

 

We all know how the men get seduced in Thailand and then lose everything. Next we will hear a call from a man who has been married for 48 years complaining that he went to Thailand as often as he could, leaving his 70 year old wife at home and now he has lost everything to a 20 year old girl. He has nothing now and is living off his poor pension in the UK

Why bother at that age, allow the status quo. After 48 years it's not a broken heart through a lost love, just disappointment and hurt pride, he too will wake up to the truth of what is really going on, let him have his last fling and don't make waves, you may get drowned.

Why be a doormat? Secure everything and divorce him, he has no respect for her even after 48 years.

The guy obviously comes to play bridge with pattaya Bridge club ladies. Just has constantly bad luck if need to send money here instead going home with what he won.

IMO, this is a made up story just to fill column inches in newspapers and neither him, his wife or a gf exist .

  Like who goes to Thailand regularly on Wednesdays ???? ?

    I reckon that this is a made up story 

Some go shopping every Wednesday. Some go to Thailand every Wednesday. Some even combine the two every Wednesday.

This guy in  the story is being probably being unfaithful and spending money on prostitutes.

At last, there is a credible detective on ASEAN Now ????

So because you have suffered, it is ok for her to suffer to? 

 

Two wrong doesnt make one right.

On Tuesday she should ask hubby to drop her off at the airport. She is flying to Gambia to take golf lessons. Then start sending honey there to pay for her lessons.

Then put a picture of her instructor on the bedroom wall. An athletic looking Gambian man with bulges in all the right places. Any questions ? None of hubbys business. .

Well, she could at least coordinate her departure day with his - save on the taxi expenses. No need to carry any golf gear - Gambian God has a club and some balls.

I'll take a wild guess here, he's donating this money to the poor and needy of Thailand and engaged in charity work in Pattaya waling street. 

Thanks, I think you've nailed it! I was baffled as to what the explanation could possibly be.

[proton]

she could always start going to the Gambia and getting herself a beach boy

I thought about blocking your posts. But from time to time, they are so funny. Thanks!

Or assisting with the upkeep of a herd of sick buffalos.

Yes, because he's being a <deleted>.  He's treating his wife extremely badly and she should divorce him and take as much as she can.

It's not all roses for him either, likely the thai girl has more than one "boyfriend" and of course it's based on money, more of an employee than a girlfriend. The perfect scenario for her, a boyfriend who lives abroad

Is that all in that article? Amazing!

The caller was anonymous....  So perhaps read the article properly or use some logic.

She probably wouldn't want you back with that attitude.

He clearly sends money to his TGF and visits her.

Thanks for your explanation. I am sure most of us were trying hard to understand what is going on. You explained it to all of us. Thanks! What would we do without smart members like you? 

[Cornishman]

Some interesting phrases:

70 year old woman

Married 48 years

Thailand ladies

Hundreds of pounds

Several trips

Let the guy enjoy his remaining years...

[paul1804]

There 2 sides to every scenario and without knowing the facts how can we positively comment. Sure he has got some Thai chick on the go so its fairly certain there's no "go" at home! He's probably at bit naughty but again we dont know the facts and sadly the old girl maybe getting a rough deal. She has a house and is most likely well looked after so maybe she should just get on with what she has left of her life and enjoy what she can while she can.

He met Buriram Noi in the Pink Pussy bar and believes he saved her from a life of prostitution. 

I feel sorry for his wife, and grandkids. I've known a few pensioners who have been disowned by their families. Sad, as in the twilight years, one should be renunciating, not fooling around with Buriram Noi.

[OneMoreFarang]

I find it always amazing how many guys in this forum analyze such articles and explain to us what is going on.

And then they have advice for everybody involved how they should change their lives.

Amazing!

Revenge? What new beginning is a 70 woman going to make? She has a home and apparently he is there most of the time, arranging herself with the new situation is probably more advantages, by accepting the status quo she could make her own life within this framework. His fling isn't going to last that long anyway at his age when he realizes he is just being used, there is no fool like an old fool.

So, Freddy, are you saying Deidre looks better than Julie?

 

You're scary too with your rediculous comments.

IMHO in your twilight years you should be enjoying yourself anyway you like (within the law of course).

[Silencer]

Divorce is expensive. Wonder how long she will let him play? Just another episode, like countless others, that have played out over the last decades.
