What is a decent allowance for a Khmer girlfriend?

This is the part of the forum where we discuss Cambodia's nightlife! While most bars, nightclubs, pubs, beer gardens, and hostess bars are in Phnom Penh, we discuss the Cambodian nightlife across all of Cambodia, including Siem Reap, Kampot, and Sihanoukville. The main nightlife areas in Phnom Penh are on Street 136, Street 130, Street 110 and Street 51, but there are other party spots that aren't girlie bars where expats, tourists, and locals drink until the sun comes up. Feel free to post specials and promotions that relate to nighttime fun!

I'm going home for awhile, call me when the shooting stops."
Yep it's it's like the car mechanic who 'won't change oil', the Tefler who 'don't do gramma' (to be fair, this is actually a requirement), or the hooker who 'won't suck dick' etc...

That was a fun time :)
We would live to expect to have fun times through the course of our lives. Sometimes it may come along for free and be most welcome, other times we may have to put in a little effort, even monies toward our reward on achievement of fun times and pleasures, has the saying goes "nothing in life is free".

He his far from the only one who's selfishness and protectiveness and his qualified girlfriend whom is needed by so many to use her trained skills, a person whom trained in the work to help heal the sick, or at least show some last care for the ones that can't be cured.
The country has a lack of medical skills and care on the whole. Treatment is expensive, its no problem for the wealthy, they don't believe in the health care in their own country anyhow, seeking treatment outside in other nearby countries. What of the poor! Treatment, some can't even afford pills, so they just die, in many cases with lac of care. I am not talking shit because I have known a few in both cases. I found once I was in need of urgent medical care in this land, I was one with money too, the end result I had to seek the operation and care outside of this land. I find myself questioning "why"! I come to the simple answer the ones with high skills have money, but also show a lack of care towards the needy.
We have control mostly in our lives, but at times "life" will throw in the unexpected, this is where I find myself, we, now at this time, my girlfriend was diagnosed with cirrhosis and other complications, the two doctors (both certified overseas) opinions "she will be lucky to last the year" with the damage to the liver, transplant in Singapore cost $100,000+ was an option, but the doctors opinion, she would not recover. Its two years on, we live in Phnom Penh because its near medical facilities, being told she will need dialysis treatment at some stage. Monthly needed medication I can only get from pharmacies in 3 cities here due to the power of suppliers who can and who can't have.
She sold her motorbike and gold plus her own savings to help her family, they know she is sick and now have disowned her. This has not helped with her condition, she as since developed a few anger issues to add to the ongoing illness.
So what do I pay! Medication, food, $30 monthly towards her sons keep to a family neighbour and friend. Only care I can provide free.

Hey thanks, sometimes I write a bit obscurely (it makes it harder for the lumpen to understand) but I surely dont need rescuing from a dude like Capt Boner that asked, on a public forum, to look at vids of my pink pulverizer of passion. Yuck.
It was a joke not a dick, don't take it so hard :thumb:
Im not taking it anyway, you are the one that wants to gaze upon my male genitalia. I dont need to say more tha that.

What price love ? And care. Dying people are often angry. Good luck to you both. Make the most of your time together.

This has to be some type of joke,right? A trained nurse walks off the job because she might get sick. Youre paying her WAY too much mate.
He's very serious.

Recall that when she had an English teacher who didn't like her, she complained to administration that she was afraid he would rob or rape her.

Now she gets out of work by telling NKOTB that it's too dangerous and she's afraid she might infect his parents.

Even the eternally nice rozzieoz said last month that she is playing him.

Currently the girls are asking guys for $400-700 a month to stop working and be a live-in companion.
