What people should or should not do is always based on the rule book in accordance with the society to which we were brought up.
It is not a relationship based on sex, that is something that is growing and improving with the mutual enjoyment of each others company, and with that a gradual but true love.
There are couples that are engaged for 6/7 years that get divorced after a year or two of marraige, so why wait if it is something I have not yet tried, I don't have much to lose and it conforms with the culture of her family - the one who have been my hosts.
I am assuming that the divorce rate is higher in the west tha it is here and that more effort is put into a relationship.
Physically, I still look at her with the same awe that I did from the start, and I know she won't stay like that for long but now the actual and genuine love has started to develp after 4 months, that doesn't matter.
On Slimboy's thread somebody said something about familiarity and security keeping a relationship solid even after the love has idled into like, or even tolerance.
Finally, I can see why many relationships don't work in Thailand. As westerners who have spent considerable time in Asia we have become used to doing what we want and getting what we want and it can make us selfish, it is also so so so easy to be unfaithful.
Sandra is the first very attractive woman I have been with that I have felt safe with. I don't feel I would lose her to a richer or more handsome man, i can't explain this. Maybe because she's had all that working in HK and she knows a Brad Pitt look-a-like wouldn't make her secure as he would be a fanny magnet to potential rivals.
I am beyond any hope of a 'normal' relationship/engagement/marraige with a middle class British girl called Emma or Kate who works as an estate agent and drives a Renault Clio. "So how many girls have you slept with?" Come on mum and dad, that just isn't going to happen.
So I should not lose this chance, and I have made the decision with the pressure off and not under the whim of pregnancy, though I am not out of the woods yet in that department and if she is then she is, i'll stay anyway.
"I'm an outsider by choice, but not truly. It's the unpleasantness of the system that keeps me out. I'd rather be in, in a good system. That's where my discontent comes from: being forced to choose to stay outside.
My advice: Just keep movin' straight ahead. Every now and then you find yourself in a different place."

Def a one star thread.
Isn't it everybody.
One star
^ It's not a ratings war, it's just reality TD.
That's all very true and good too. You're being real. Ignore the cynics and go with what seems right to you in your unique situation.What people should or should not do is always based on the rule book in accordance with the society to which we were brought up.

Therefore a ratings war
One star here we go.

If you had not been such a skinflint and rented a apartment or hotel with your money (shudder) this pressure would not have happened.
Therefore your greed and obsession with saving money has caused her to be ostracised from her community if you do not wed.
The real emergency will be when you move out of the hovel - how will you support your new family? By continuing to sponge off the third world relatives would certainly be a turning of tables and would make them the laughing stock of their neighbours.
My advice Scampy - do not marry her unless you have a job. Statistics show that most arguments and divorces are due to financial problems. What job can you do in Phillipines? What job can you do anywhere?

^^ In the Phillipines I can make very good money indeed as a videographer for the wealthy ones. I was told this by the very well educated cousin after she had seen my gift to the family - a DVD of the brothers kid's christening.
I wanted to stay at Villa Fillipina from the go but Sandra wanted me to stay here first and meet the family. This really pissed me off until I saw Villa Fillipna a week into my stay, it was the lonliest place on earth (apart from Chernobyl).
I have paid the family's electric and internet bill, spend fifty quid on Sandra's birthday and I pay for a weekly food shop which Sandra chooses without taking the piss.
I also get the old man a beer whenever I go to the shop.
I have spent less than I would do in a hotel but I have done my bit and am happy to, but yes - I need a job.
Are there no NGO's out there that need editors or videographers
^ That could be worth looking into. I've got some money owed to me in Thailand, quite a lot actually, which will keep us going until the end of the year if I don't piss it all up the wall when I'm there.
I'm not short of money yet, but it will come.

By the way, the urge to perform sex with one's Missus does evaporate. So don't rely on that attraction.
Wives also demur from sucky-suck after awhile.

We know Scampy loves oral gratification, and so what will he do one day when his wife refuses to put her moist lips next to his feculent nethers?
I think there is a whole industry devoted to this problem.Originally Posted by The_Ghost_Of_The_Moog
