Don't think too mutt
I have read about a lot of anguish, hope, tales of dastardly deeds by TG g/fs etc on this forum.
At times it has made me question my own relationship which has been an expensive exercise for me but nothing I can't afford.
But WTF. I am realistic. I realise that my g/f has to keep in contact with other falangs in case this realtionship goes belly up.
I don't loose sleep at night wondering if she is faithful. She tells me that she is and that is good enough for me.
I have other friends, other pursuits, other hobbies etc and my g/f is just another part of the day to day challenges of my life.
I can turn the whole thing around and look at it from her point of view. Once you can do this you will be more relaxed about your relationship.
The Western World doesn't really have the "loss of face" thing but we do have "I am a dickhead". However, once you realise this, you can move on and no-one really cares if you are one as long as you aren't one all the time.
So, anguished sponsers, boyfriends, lovers etc enjoy this little bit of excitement in your life. Many people in this world don't have a life nearly as interesting as you do.

Good post Steve, you echo my own sentiments, once you get wrapped up into thinking too much it is when it starts to eat you up.

Don't think too much , How many times has my BG told me this . The trouble is you read all these negative experiences , and it gets you thinking that yours is going to end the same .
I know at this stage that I have spent most of my last years earnings on my girl . We have built the house & bought the pickup & if she were to leave me tomorrow . I have a year of memories and the best times of my life .
So I agree , may pen rai , sabai sabai . I hope the next year is just as good .

Been to the Philippines 4 times now, found a nice young lady on the first trip, the second trip she was a pain in the ass so I dropped her in the end, met someone else the last night, she stayed with me on my 4th trip, but got too klingy, wanted me to get her pregnant and calling her Mom and having me talk to her, so I did not tell her about the 4th trip, found a little cutie for the first week, left her to go somewhere else in the PI, and found a spanking hot girl for my last week there.
To all you young guys, they need money to live, if you can't send them money than they will be doing the same thing they were when you met them, if it does not work out you will find another great lady on the next trip. I have, it's not that hard.
Probably going to Samui and doing a liveaboard dive trip in April but spending most of my time in Phuket. Might take a lady to Samui, might not. If I was with a girl for a while but she did not wait for me when I was in Samui, then I will find someone else. When I get back from the dive trip, will she still be waiting for me? If not, I will find someone.
Will the first one be the best or will the last one? That is part of the fun. If you are not able to take care of her financially try not to fall in love. Hard to do, we all know that as they are so lively and fun.
