Foreigner Buys Land in His Cambodian Wife's Name In Siem Reap; Loses Everything

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

As I have always said, in Cambodia you can buy it , pay for it, but you can never own it.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

^ Just one question, does that go for all nationalities? Are the Chinese the same?
Always "hope" but never "expect".

It can be a bit of a blessing to be jaded, couldn't imagine doing anything like this.. humans are masters of deception be it towards others or themselves

All generalizations are false, but in general, no. However, Chinese culture is not as accepting of interracial/foreigner marriage as are SE Asia cultures... where it can be seen as perfectly acceptable to 'work'/snag a foreigner husband... and 'take him to the cleaners'.

Every bald, fat, middle-aged+ 'white guy' should do a reality check and ask himself exactly why an attractive 20-something SE Asian woman has fallen in love with him. Unfortunately, self delusion is all pervasive. Every single one of them believes "My woman and relationship is different". Ninety-nine point nine percent of the time, it's not.

All generalizations are false, but in general, no - a Chinese woman is more likely to have 'true' feelings if in a relationship with a foreigner. However, Chinese culture is not as accepting of interracial/foreigner marriage as are SE Asia cultures... where it can be seen as perfectly acceptable to 'work'/snag a foreigner husband... and 'take him to the cleaners'.

I'll have you know I only have widow's peaks. The hot weather means I'm not fat. My wife is guilty of many things, a hot asian temperament being one of those, but she's not ever been a liar. I have crawled through her history and I have taken note of everything she said when pissed, dates, times and names. I have met all her relatives, and cast judgment on everyone of the cunts. The first time I met her I would not give her a penny. Plus she's a 33 year old hag, I have no interest in vacuous teenagers and their fucking obsessions with Ed Sherhan.

As I've mentioned to a few guys over time, if you were that guy who women approached and tried to hook up with you on a daily basis in the West, then fair enough. If you weren't that guy - and you weren't - what the fuck do you think happened to you on the flight over that suddenly made you a fanny magnet? :Yahoo!:

It's funny, I've seen it said (not necessarily here) that actions to try to protect oneself against loss are indicative of lack of trust in wives/girlfriends. That such actions may even cause the problems they are designed to guard against because the wife/gf gets irked at the lack of trust.

Then, on the other side of the coin, when somebody gets burnt, there is no shortage of wise old hands saying "Dumb cunt, didn't protect his assets and money, was far too trusting." So it seems you are damned if you do, and skint and damned if you don't. On balance, I'd take the "You no trust me!" over the "Ha Ha! You fuck off now. I divorce you and keep all. You go home now!" anytime. :ROFL:

EDIT: To delete a post there is a red box with an X at the top right of the post, third box in from the right. Unless you are on a mobile version, in which case, fuck knows.

Did anyone else notice that guy's Facebook page, almost all his "friends" look like teenage girls, and the fucker is about 60? His posts are totally cringey too, all self-pitying bullshit memes and sad selfies.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
