It's Over

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.

It's Over

Post by Ronny »

I finalized my divorce yesterday and it was the most emotional moment in my life. Don't know how I held myself together but I think a few beers and 2 Xanax helped, lol. What a painful experience. There's something about Asian woman that, when they get a divorce from one of us Western guys, they are so cool and collective? But divorce is a big thing for me. Maybe it has something to do with that..."For better or for worse, 'til death do us part" thing. I don't know. But anyways, in 3 months I'll be heading to Cambodia and I'm hoping things work out and I can start a new life there. Just wanting you guys to know.

Yea, I bet it's a really great feeling getting your divorce papers,,, knowing that you can now get married again to the next bargirl you meet and go through the whole procedure again.
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.

Wow Duncan that's a bit harsh, geez.

Ronny, It's a grieving process like any other - you need to grieve the loss of the life you thought you'd have.
It's not easy, sending supportive thoughts <3

Congratulations with being able to move on with your life. I'm sure you'll find plenty of women to commiserate with you on your loss in the KOW - at a small fee. Cambodia is a popular landing pad for men on the rebound and you'll no doubt find plenty of bar buddies to lament with you also.

Thanks for letting us know.

I escaped from a Thai many years ago and there was incredible relief.

I've been considering marriage recently with a woman I've known for more than a decade (yes she's Asian) but struggling to control my own reality that I'm just not cut out for it.
Maybe not quite the damaging psyche of a divorce situation, but I just can't find the means to settle down.
It's not the companionship part that I am struggling with, it's more that I can't see myself staying in one place or establishing a family of my own.
The settling down aspect doesn't relate to my wandering lifestyle.

i can relate to this
seeing all my friends settled down, with houses and spouses and kids, makes me feel like i should be doing the same, as im 30 next week,
and a part of me, coming from a traditional family background, is kind of programmed to believe that i should be doing the same,
and feel like i should be settling down with a missus and have kids by now and that im lagging behind (my younger brother and sister are both married with kids) etc
but then every now and again i realised ive got so used to my freedom especially living out in Asia, that the thought of settling down would bore and suffocate the life out of me
i guess you just have to wait to, not find the girl to settle down with, but the one that will wander with you, i guess

someone was on the radio the other day talking about they were celebrating a big wedding anniversary and the presenter was asking whats the secret, and they said something about not finding the "woman of your dreams" but finding a "best friend" or something

my song controbution to you OP


All my life I've been searching for something
Something never comes never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around, when it's taken away
Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
Feel it come to life when I see your ghost

And I'm done, done and I'm on to the next one [8x]

[Yelling:]
Done, done, on to the next one
Done I'm done and I'm on to the next one [2x]

Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down [2x]

[Yelling]
Done, done and on to the next one
Done, I'm done, and I'm
On to the next.
