boosta Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Im betting your wanting to leave asap ,these so called ladys are nothing but grown babys ,if she still persists tell her your incapable of producing offspring Can't just pick up and go. Have to go through the process of applying to schools first. Also I'm in a contract here, and I wouldn't just ship on my students. None of this is their fault. So I'd be looking at an April departure, I suppose. - Many would advise you not to let her know in advance of your impending departure, do it James Bond style and just disappear one day when she goes out to buy your beer. Others call that cowardly and you should stand up to her like a man. Group A then says it's only practical, save all the drama breakage and possible injuries. see saved four pages of thread fluffage right there. . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eesat Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Mate I've mentioned this on another thread but I'm a 6'0",110kg/17 stone guy,no idea what makes you think I'm a girl is it the username or what?-I told you it's the underlying personality that shines through your lovely writing. You never did answer my question as to your sexual preferences. . . Chiefly because I'd rather not fuel your homo-erotic fantasies,thankyou very much!

GooEng Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I'm curious, OP other than a forced separation to study abroad from this lady, do you wish to remain in a relationship with her, or are you looking to end it anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post thunder30101 Posted June 19, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2013 She is losing her cash cow, she has now pulled the falang card on you and is acting in the typical thai childish way when they dont win the game. Now for you it is time to play the thai game and do what they do, lie and tell stories to fit the situation to avoid any confrontation and put all the blame on you bad falang.. Thais are all children mentally. Tell her what it takes to keep her off your back and make your plans to go home and take care of yourself because trust me no thai will ever care about you or your future falang only themselves. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aTomsLife Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 I'm curious, OP other than a forced separation to study abroad from this lady, do you wish to remain in a relationship with her, or are you looking to end it anyway? If I wasn't concerned about my career, I wouldn't be inclined to end it with her. However, the way she's handled this matter thus far is highly unattractive to me.

benalibina Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Anyone else inclined to share a bit of their own break up history, or is this just gonna keep getting slung back at me?I've never heard of a clean or amicable break up in Thailand in the 20 odd years I've been here.My own experiences of ending relationships echo those of boosta - threats, violence, hysterics etc.It seems a national trait for the one being dumped to turn aggressively adversarial, and it's mainly to do with face and its often the case that when the dumped party has been dumped for very good reason(infidelity, theft, etc) the aggression is even worse.When a lady i was seeing on a pretty casual basis a few years ago wanted to stop seeing me, which would have been no big deal, rather than come out with it she behaved in such a bizarre fashion - standing me up on dates, being distant, leaving dates unexpectedly etc, that I ended up telling her it was not working and we should stop dating. i was then subjected to a month long campaign of SMS threats and insults, facebook insults and silent phone calls in the middle of the night. It came out much later via a mutual acquaintance that she wanted to end things with me as an ex-bf of hers, had unexpectedly announced his return to Thailand and she wanted to be available to him. This, precisely, is my fear. It seems there are no amicable breakups here. I was hoping someone would chime in and tell me otherwise. CANNOTTTTTTT ! Make sure you do not get her pregnant is the best advise ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Beetlejuice Posted June 19, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) “I came to Thailand, started a relationship and am now returning home” The girl is right.

This is a sort of; well, you served a purpose while I was here, but it`s time for me to move on now, byeeee. If the OP cannot see the errors of his ways, and probably the hurt he has caused this girl, than he still has a lot to learn. I am sure this pertains to relationships worldwide, not only in Thailand.

lannarebirth Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Thanks boosta, that was a great reply. We, however, are not living together. She would never go for that. At present, we are still a couple. She is trying to get me to change schools. She says there are Thai schools of good quality, and that it isn't necessary to work at an international school in order to have a stable work environment. I am considering this option. As you say, she is still the woman I've cared about to this point. Nevertheless, with ASEAN around the corner, and Thailand growing leaps and bounds, an M.Ed would create much needed stability for me, before deciding to start a family here. I am not a proponent of online degrees, but an online degree from a decent western university would have more value than a degree from ANY Thai university, except perhaps in the sciences.

I think that many farangs over here short time, consider these sorts of relationships as just one big adventure, a sort of ego trip and often fail to see the hurt they cause to the other parties concerned and in many cases they don`t care. It`s a form of selfishness and immaturity and perhaps one day someone else will treat them the same and that`s the only way they learn about life, by experience when it becomes personal to them.

pattayadingo Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I've had break ups that have gone both ways - good and bad. One, who I thought would be the worst after being with her for 2 years actually came to my aid after a car accident when I was hospitalised. She could not do enough for me. (This was maybe a year after we'd broken up - but had kept in touch). She turned out to be one of my best friends. Another one, I know I can never go back to her hoime town again. Vicious, vindictive and with plenty of friends and connections. TBH, there can be a lot of drama here over a break up, especially after you have been sleeping together. More so if she has told friends and family that she will be marrying you in the future. That can lead to a massive loss of face especially if they are boasting about it and making more of it than you know about - in that case you could expect some repercussions. Odd that when they break up / divorce a Thai man it seems acceptable in the main, yet to lose a Foreigner it seems to be a whole different kettle of fish. Be prepared to accept you might not be able to go back to that city / town / place again. Yet only you know her and can guage her true reaction - drama queen or a real threat.

Dude, that's tantamount to saying that as soon as you enter a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship with a "good girl", you're more or less committing to marry her at some point in the future and that's ridiculous. Thai guys don't do it, why should farangs? I know several Thai men who play the field with so-called "good girls" with little in the way of drama when they end the relationship. It's amusing how so many of us accuse Thai women of being pathological liars yet we can't credit them with the ability to tell their families/friends that THEY - not the guy - ended the relationship if they're so keen to save face. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David48 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Many times I got asked by English speaking Thais :Is this your wife?" Answering from a British perspective I would answer "Not Yet." She let me know this was the wrong answer OK we'd been together over 6 months, but I was answering from a legal point of view. Trust me living together over a few months. She thinks you are married This advice warrants a second viewing ... . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have emotions and feelings wherever they come from. Although nobody really knows all the details, and we can only surmise what has happened from the OP's version, I tend to agree with Beetlejuice. Western men see things from a westerner's viewpoint of relationships. It's not the same in Thailand. Proper Thai girls don't sleep with western men unless they think it is a serious relationship. No matter what is said, proper Thai girls take it very seriously when they have sex. It is probably like it was for teenagers in our parents day. The Thai bar girls have far more in common with the free love western girls, and that is where western men make their mistake. A bloke from Australia, the UK or North America is used to having short term relationships with western women. And, the western women also understand the game. Sure there are hurt feelings, but everyone gets over it in a hurry. I think the pain goes far deeper when it comes to young Thai women. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canman Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Op, what do you think her reaction would be if you asked her to come to the states with you while you completed your degree? If you are confident that she would reject this then it may be a good but risky strategy to exit gracefully. She woud be able to save face as you have offered her a way to continue the relationship but she now had the choice to decline. Just a thought. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
