Pack your bags and leave for good. If the wife cares more about money than you, it's not worth it. While the kid is a spoilt brat.

Pragmatic thinking isn't about feelings. Its the truth or practical understanding of a question as posed by you. Every Thai wife or Asian wife (Western wives as well) believe that money is far and away more important than personal happiness or family.

Money is security, status, the future. Go back to the job and earn dammit! Do you're job and quit whining about it.

Kids don't think, they act. Not their fault.

One could easily see that financial security will be the ever-reaching importance as applied to spouses [female], but shouldn't be a substitute for personal happiness/familial extensions - this truly applies in all cases....

Especially Asian cultures.
Not in all situations.....love = cash

off you go then, make lots more money so they can enjoy life

^^O.K. not all...but....it is apparent that you live in a different set of circumstances no doubt?

We're not talking about 'LOVE." We're talking about being "practical." Pragmatic thinking. I'm sure most here who remain among the working class would have a very difficult time selling "I'm tired of working and I don't want to work as much," to their spouses who are living off a fair income and security that it all entails.

You must have an "exit," plan. Not just a dream of one, but a real one in place. Without it you're doomed to being the "donkey," for the balance of your life.

So you think it will be easy to talk my TG out if having a kid?

Or it will be easy for her to set me up with someone who doesn't want them?
