Popular Post thehelmsman Posted July 10, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2014 This might pertain more to the guys making good coin outside of Thailand who have households in Thailand. Or, is your lady simply satisfied not knowing all the details??? For me, I've been honest about real estate holdings but when it comes to a income dollar amount working offshore, I don't give details away. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post smotherb Posted July 11, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2014 Depends if she is your wife or girlfriend? My Thai wife of 40 years knows everything and has full access. I think we see a difference of relationship in these responses. If I were in a shorter-term physical relationship with my woman, I would not disclose my finances. If I were in a longer-term emotional relationship, I would disclose my finances. It seems a matter of trust--and yes, trust can be misplaced. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suradit69 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) Says a lot what you think about your darling/lady, whatever that may mean. Probably a lot of problems stem from Mr. Newbie Farang inflating, exagerating his wealth either explicitly or implicitly when trying to impress/snare his potential darling/lady. Then when reality hits the fan, connubial bliss could be replaced by metal detectors and a resident food-taster as "until death do you part" sounds increasingly imminent and ominous.

I did not say anything about not being honest, I said I don't give all the details. Not giving all the details is dishonest if it is a wife or girlfriend you respect. If it is a rented "tee rak"or subservient country peasant you feel you are superior to, fair enough. To which are you referring? If you get hit by a bus today would you want her to have access to your hidden cash or not? Edited July 11, 2014 by Neeranam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being honest or forthcoming are two totally different things. The biggest mistake i made was being forthcoming about my income to my significant other. Oop's Expectations!!!! Much better to cry poverty, only then you will find true love in the LOS....LMAO!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehelmsman Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 It's easy being honest if all you have is a Social Security check deposited monthly. I'll bet most guys who are still getting better than average paychecks working offshore don't tell all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
