It takes alot of patience to make it work though. The cultural differences are huge, and you will both have to adapt to eachother, making sacrifices in your way of life. Me and my girl found a good book to learn about eachothers cultures and such, it was written both in english and thai. Not gonna name it here (scared that the mods delete my post for advertising).

When it comes to money, we share. Her livingcosts are way lower than mine, and she works herself for the money she sends to her family. She's 10 years older than me, and I guess she's used to working hard to make a living. Younger girls might just be in it for the money. But I don't know.

Acid Crow,

I'll throw my oar into the water. Having said that I have absolutely NO experience being married so my "pearls of wisdom" come with no money-back guarantee. In other words, mate, you're on your own!

If she's 10 years older than you are [I'm assuming she's at least 30+ and you at least 20+] then there is probably very little chance she's scamming you. Past 30, I am told, and most Thai women think they're over the hill. The good news is that if she's worked hard that many years and has been at least moderately successful it's doubtful she'll be running around on you. [Unless you deserve it by mistreating her] That doesn't sound like the case either - in spite of your Nom de Plume.

That said, I would still take your time. I'm reminded of that other "pearl of wisdom" - marry in haste - repent in leisure. Good luck and best wishes
