If it's over it's over. If your personal safety is in question then it's a no brainer, just walk. 1 out of 10.

1 out of 10...

10 out of 10 for having the balls to do it

While I can see your situation must have been unpapatable loong I'm failing to see what relevance it has to the position of the OP?

[smokie36]

No. Why leave money if he feels like that?

Sounds to me more like a lack of emotional backbone.

That said he is free to leave...they are both adults with little shared responsibiliry.

Edit: Removed the stupid Sent from message. Is that part of the app? If so can it be removed??

Can't really say, but discussing it in internet does bring you a +2 to the total score.

Id be disappointed EC if 460 wasn't reached. I'm a numbers man and I like to know what is ahead

Good thinking re keeping Mrs Clapham away from TV. She may get some ideas herself.

I only hope the Op is keeping his GF away from TV as well.

Ahem, please note Mr Smokie I didn't make any reference to the money, I said....'Just walk'.

Just sayin'

To Mr Bookman...

thats another rule Mr Quietman should add to his list of "happiness" never underestimate Siamgirl if you want total happiness.

Just remember one thing and one thing only, Thai girls are very vindictive, if you do a runner this will come and haunt you in the future. So be prepared.

Do they get so nasty by watching soap operas I wonder?

Try telling her you went gay. That could help her save face.

Some " GF's " may see that as a reason to stay.

Money and no need for sex with that farang anymore.

Just slip out the back Jack.

Change your phone number to avoid those awkward 'I kill myself calls', no audience then no reason to threaten self-harm.

But why waste money, I wouldn't be leaving any behind.

Thanks Tommo !!

The perfect song for the OP's dillema

[poanoi]

I just did the alternative,

i explained the depressive stuff and suggested i get a 2nd wife to heal up.

She is taking it quite well and suggested steps to get my old gf back

[pattayadingo]

I have to agree that when it is time to go, you go. Often there is no way to really explain it all in rational, grown up terms.

A score of 1.

Good luck in the future.

When I did my first run I did it in the dead of night, a thunderstorm raging and all the electrics wiped out. I collected my belongings by the light of my mobile phone and I disappeared into the night using her truck. I left the truck outside her shop and phoned the next day to tell her.

I'd tried to go before and failed. I left her with the shop I'd set up for her, the furniture etc in the house so I did not feel too bad, especially after what she had done.

I felt all the better for it too afterwards, but not at the time.

I just think you don't give such financial condideration if you're living in fear of violent retribution.

You get out as fast as yiur little legs can xarry you...thzn stick two fingers in the air....

[farang000999]

Dont do a runner. Tell her you are bankrupt and need to call a meeting with her family and friends to discuss borrowing money.

Seems this thread really has attracted the cream of the crop. If you guys think that it's absolutely fine to leave someone you've been with for 3 years in the middle of the night with just a note, you deserve every bad relationship you get. I understand that a lot of you buy women from bars and then expect them to be your girlfriend only to later find out you aren't the only idiot supporting them, but to label every Thai as the same because of your bad decisions is more than a little harsh. Unless you are leaving some sort of abusive relationship, what possible reason could there be to not sit down and talk it over? It seems to me like a really weak move, one that takes little balls and a pretty low conscience. Leaving money is hardly the same as a real reason told to their face. Thai people aren't all the girl you paid for one night, if you don't want to respect them, then don't get into a relationship with them. What a bunch of wimps you all are for actually supporting this nonsense.

Seems like the OP didn't wimp out, though. Good for you, OP, that's how it should be done for anyone over the age of 8.

Please explain why?

No kids, not married, therefore no ongoing responsibility IMHO.

AND l have not read why the runner but there is a reason that I can imagine and l know many who would if they could.

[farang000999]

He should confront her about breaking up like a man this way she can threathen to kill herself or threathen to kill him if he does not give her x million baht.

[Ohyesuare]

If you leave her money and all the belongings and she never really cared about you anyway I think it is perfectly fine as she would be ecstatic and move the Thai boyfriend in immediately.

[edwinclapham]

I'm just trying to recall where I brought my wife from?

[ripstanley]

If you have made a decision to leave why do you need TV members to justify it for you.

[transam]

I'm just trying to recall where I brought my wife from?

""Bought''

[edwinclapham]

I trust my elders!

Bought or brought?

In speech it isn’t always clear whether someone says brought or bought, but I really hate seeing them written in the wrong context so here are definitions to help people get them right…

bought: to have purchased something. It is the past tense of the word buy.

They bought their car from a registered dealer

brought: to have carried or taken something/someone with you. It is the past tense of the word bring.

She brought a friend with her to the conference.

‘After you bring something you’ve brought it’ is a handy reminder of which is which as many people get confused over these two words.

Well thats something to ponder on Transam... I have duly placed that into the hypothalamus
