If one of my sisters were to marry a millionaire i would probably say a similar thing..

"Sis get what you can and i'll have a new porsche please! hey, remember nudge nudge wink wink family first!"

Me too.

Expats are too sensitive and paranoid and many don't realize how rich they really are compared to their GF.

Apologies for using "attempting" i wasn't suggesting your aim was to break them up.

I was suggesting that breaking up was one possible outcome from meddling in something that is still only a conversation and one persons rant.

A fool and his money are soon parted regardless of what you tell him. As for my situation, my wife is a lot tougher than I am and she handles the "requests". I once gave her drunken uncle 100 baht to go away and was severely chastised by my wife.
