Dear Hillary,
After living together for six months, with me paying for everything, the Thai GF demanded I give her joint access to my bank a/c, and put on a right scene, telling me I was ‘keeneow’ and she didn’t like asking me for money all the time. Hillary, I was not at all mean, she was given money to cover anything she asked for. She settled down after that, but then changed the bank account into her name as she said it was better like that to get a loan for a house. It’s now five years and we got a loan (she got a loan), so we are in house, but she is showing less and less interest in me, despite the fact she is where she is today because of the sweat from my back. I am thinking of divorce, but don’t want to lose everything (like I did in the good old US of A).

Dear Elwood,
It looks to me that your relationship went bad some years ago. When based on money, it isn’t a good foundation. However, my Petal, there is some good news. With divorce in Thailand, assets are divided 50/50, so you will get half a house and half of any other significant items.
