hello and quick question

Post by ste860 »

well ive been reading hhad for along time now,so decided to register.
i have a dilema ive been to hua hin several times in fact spent 7 months there in the last year,now my problem is. i have a thai g/f who i have been with for nearly a year,now ive decided to move to thailand to be with her,i know its not going to be plain sailing,my problem is i told her i was moving out and she seems happy ,she has told her friends shes excited,but i have the doubt that she may have a thai boyfriend ,no proof or anything. but i am unsure if she would be happy i was coming out to live if indeed she did have a thai b/f,im just a bit unsure ,mainly because while away i do trust her ,but then because you hear so many storries it sets your mind playing tricks.can any one shed any light on if this is normal,when im there she is with me 24/7 months on end

None of us can really answer, as we don't know your girlfriend, or your/her circumstances.

Do some Thai ladies string along farang boyfriends while having Thai bf's or husbands somewhere in the background? Yes.

Do all Thai ladies do this? No, by no means.

Is your girlfriend doing this? We can't possibly know.

My personal opinion though is that you shouldn't make any big changes to your life that involve someone you (rightly or wrongly) have doubts about. If you have any doubts about such a major upheaval, you shouldn't do it, IMO.

Happens all over the globe

And it's not just a female thing. We guys stray too

What has happened in the past regardless of knowing about it doesn't matter. It's what's going to happen in the future

If you are permanently here it makes a difference. Many Thai girls think 'oh he's gone home and may not be back' They need security. If you settle with one long term they are the most caring beings in the world

Up front, though, you need to sort out Terms and conditions

I've never looked back and if I did I'd have to admit she is an amateur and my track record is worthy of an Olympic gold!!!!

Most girls do not like or trust Thai men. Look at how many have babies and father is missing?

Good luck but look forward not backward
