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.

Are you legally married? If so, get a divorce and follow canimag's advice. If not, change apartments ASAP (as in the next week or two tops) and phone number. Break off all contact. Live happily ever after. You might want to help her out, but play it by ear. She sounds like a total handful.

Not really. He said she's not evil, and he feels sorry for her. I don't even know why he's throwing her out, he just vaguely calls her "crazy."

I think close to 99% of these incidents could be avoided by males thinking more carefully about their partners before the fact, and about whether they want a long-term relationship at all.

Males and thinking about this: oxymoron.

Hi all,

First thanks for helping me get through this.

By far the best advice was not to let her go with no support !

I called her this morning, so she came to my house and I explained I will help her for the next 2-3 months, so she can finish her beauty-salon school witch ends in 2 months, and have time to reorganize her life. She agreed I pay for rent for small house, and give her weekly 30 dollar to cover the rest of her costs. She even did not ask me more, she said my offer was good enough for her. She know I make monthly around 500$ and that is maybe the reason she is so easy on me.

We had a traditional wedding, so nothing official, sorry not to mention this as it would be a big headache apparently. Running away from her, and live somewhere else is out of the question for now. If things go ugly, I could consider that. I sincerely hope everything will go as planned this time (witch rarely happens ).

I have put a lot of effort to try to make her a better person, so it would be sad to let go all that. She seems (very) happy now, and also relieved, as she can do what she wants now.

So for now nobody loses, and we are both happy. About the lose face thing she don't care, as I asked her what shall I tell the neighbors. She even considers living some houses further away as there is one for rent there.

I think there was a misunderstanding yesterday, as she meant she will not go nowhere without support. It was foolish from me I did not care at the moment what would happen to her, in a attempt to stay 'cool' I blocked all my emotions and I became the monster here. :)

I will not run away from my problems, as long I see progress.

So for the next 2-3 months everything is cool, and we can both start our new lives.

Thank you guys again for your time, and helping me solve this. As this is the first time I break up with a girl, this forum proved really helpful!

Alternatively you could buy her a bar and hire her as a manager. Face saved and priority access to a steady supply of new candidates.
