For my thai girlfriend and I.
I've been with her since joining the forum over 2 years ago and have posted a few times RE problems and worries over her.
I'm 43,she's 41.She's never sold her body that I know of,comes from a hard working family,lives with her 81 yr old mum and looks after her more or less 24/7.
She can only work from home doing irregular things like 'ironing',sewing buttons on clothes etc.
She's an issan girl,great company,beautiful,slim,good SOH.OK English.I've learned SOME thai,enough to get buy,but not understand conversation.
I've been over to see her 6 times,taken her to Phuket,Samui,Jomtien,River Kwae,BKK,fed her family many times,buy her clothes,shoes etc,I love the girl,I trust her and yes I send her money by W.U.
She's a woman so can be moody and miserable sometimes.
Recently I had some 'lack of money' problems and so didn't send her any in June.I pulled her up over her moods with me and said to her 'I hope you're not in a mood coz you've had no money,I'll send some when I have it'.
She's been asking me to pay her insurance policy for the year,she sent me the document to show how much(11000tbht).
I said I'd send it to her ASAP.
It comes to £260 in sterling,I'm not flush with cash, I save money by staying in and not drinkin in pubs n stuff and regularly send her around £150 a month,PLUS what I spend on her on my trips there.
I called her on 'Tango' tonight and she had a 'gob on' as we say up north!
"Money not enough,you not send money for take care"...I was taken aback a little and said to her "well,thats what I can afford,I've got bills to pay too,so don't be so ungrateful,you wanted the money for the insurance..I've sent it"
we got cut off and I got a text sayin 'UNGRATEFUL??...good to hear this word,never said to me before,I will send all your money back soon.we don't understand each other,we never care about each other'
She's known from day one that I wasn't rich,over the last year,she's been less sweet than when we first met,the amounts of money have gradually increased and I'm starting to feel the pinch.
I'm thinking that her change in attitude is linked to her 23yr old niece marrying a rich 69 yr old who's about to be fleeced out of his life savings!...there's maybe a loss of face there and she feels like I'm not producing enough baht.
Money number 1,no money no hunny etc...its so true...even with what some of us would call a 'good girl'
I'm posting to get it off my chest.... I feel shattered about the whole thing...'I thought she was differant'..I feel betrayed by her...those 6 trips could have been spent ...on myself..
