My Cambodian wife and I live rurally, have two children and have been married for twelve years. Not always easy for either of us sometimes, but we're solid and steadfast in our love(and passion)for each other, enough to overcome cultural differences in how we approach problems.
As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.

Yep, I've lent/given money for food to several ladies at some of Phnom Penh's finest establishments and only one has ever paid me back and one bought me a beer once. The Woman's family? 100% write off.

My fiancee's family has given us more than I alone have given them. They are not hurting for cash, however. So that's a big factor in the in laws situation that arise between westerner and Asian.
