Only you can tell if it is love for yourself. In terms of Ann, actions speak louder than words. You will need to take time to see what it is all about just like you would if you were back home in the UK. If it doesn't hurt you to stay then that would be your best option in my opinion.

Jo, thanks for your note and I appreciate your support. Things have settled with the relationship and although we have decided to divorce we are still good friends and our actions indicate that we care about each other. I totally agree that there are commonalities and uniqunesses in each situation b...

You fail miserably at your attempt to explicitly show similarities between your Thai girl's story and mine.

Snowball, how long have you know this woman? Is this the first time you are going to meet her in person? I wouldn't recommend just going to meet once and then bringing her home to the USA. Why don't you live in Thailand for a while and get to know her. Just like any relationship you may have here, y...

Can you accept a Western working husband?

Sukanya - first I want to say that I am sorry to hear of all your troubles. The more I learn about Thai culture the more I appreciate the differences and the difficulties they can present between Thai-Western relationships.
