I've got some people in my life like this. One was a FWB who i candidly told everything she was doing wrong in dating (she asked) on my way out of that relationship just prior to leaving her for another woman i fucked 6 days later (we had exclusivity, dumb, i already know).

A year later she is 31 and she wasted 9 whole months rebounding on a 25 yo fuckboi that fucks 4s and 5s and she is still doubling down on everything she did wrong (trying to date guys at the night venue, chasing baby faces obviously younger than her that just want to fuck) on the last breaths of her fertility

Some people just never learn. They don't want to. Their hamster is too powerful

Some people simply can’t be helped.

To make it sadder, he is earning in the $200K+ range.

I'm trying to nudge him enough to start questioning what she says and ask for some sort of accountability.

He will be making another trip to Thailand in a few weeks.

I don't know if the Thailand Marriage is legit, even though there is paperwork. He is not married as far as the Government here is concerned.

He did tell me that on one trip he didn't get laid at all, with the excuse being that her house was too close to a relatives, and she didn't want anyone to hear them having sex.

As we were told, She apparently overstayed a Visitor Visa to the UK which would be flagged by other Countries. I know he has sent money for "Lawyers" to help getting a Visa, and we question whether anything she tells him is the truth.

I think he's been married for 10 years now.

Good grief.

I suppose that's the silver lining to my one-two punch of being both a minimalist and not particularly ambitious: I lack both the means and the motivation for a woman to exploit me financially. As evidenced by my post above, as long as I'm reasonably secure I'm not much bothered about climbing ladders or conquering empires.

A couple have tried, which I'll always find bizarre; I've never had any desire to affect the appearance of wealth. Regardless, it didn't take them long to realize they were not only barking up the wrong tree, the forest they were seeking was on a different continent.

Wow… that’s harsh. He got to bang a (presumably younger) Thai chick a few times, and a couple of times a year if he flies there, and in return he sends her tons of money? And that money just disappears? And they may not even be legally married? And for some mysterious reason she “can’t” even visit him in his country?

That seems legit. /s

I wonder how many “husbands” she has.

I have worked with people pulling in $150K+ yearly incomes that live a constant life of hand to mouth, paycheque to paycheque existences and OT when they can get it.

Many are commuters working a 14/14 schedule and traveling long distances. Many of them blow their money on unnecessary items bought with credit, and if shit goes sideways (as it can) they are left with a very large Monkey on their backs.

Others are trying to keep their Wives happy (not possible) and end up in Divorce which costs them so much more.

There are some that went on vacation to SE Asia and found a Wife. You are not only supporting her, there is an entire Family that now EXPECT to be fully funded.

We have a friend that is in the worst possible situation (entirely his fault) of being "Married" to a Thai Woman that is, for various reasons, ineligible to get a Visitor Visa let alone PR status. They are only married in Thailand, not his home Country, and who knows if they are legally married in Thailand.

I don't know how much he sends her monthly so he can "prove" to the Government that she is his Wife that he supports. There is always a need for more to cover some new expense. He has bankrolled her various "Businesses" and has never seen a dime in return.

He gets to visit her twice a year (missed at least two years due to COVID) and bears the cost of each time.

He is maxed out on Credit, has a large Mortgage, rents out rooms and works constant OT to keep it all running.

He still believes it all...

We've been slowing chipping away at all the layer of cheap paint that has been slapped on this sham, and I think he is finally starting to see a bit of the real life he's living.

He just turned 60, and if there is any hope of retirement in his future, he needs to make some drastic changes.

We don't believe she will tolerate him moving to Thailand, and there is no incentive for her to move here even if she was able to.

I literally cannot imagine making a six-figure income and still being financially insolvent. That just breaks my fucking brain.

Tell me you've never been married while being a "yes, dear" kind of man without saying "I've never been married while being a 'yes, dear' kind of man"...

I earn ~25k/yr and I have more money than I generally need with enough set aside to cover small emergencies such as my car breaking down and needing a couple thousand in repair work.

She's not worried about me, and as I've said many times: I'm far from being a Chad. I'm 5'7", have completely gray hair, and I weigh 149 pounds.

The seeming discrepancy is that I work very hard to make the most of the things I can control. Trust me... the things I can't control offset my selling points. College cuties aren't trying to poach me.
