My gf has gone to study abroad in Europe, she got a scholarship for two weeks to travel and do reports, etc. She hasn't emailed me for 3 days. She is/has kind of been a **** to me for the past 5 months... now we are apart and she made me promise to email her everyday, which I have... with no response from her... what gives?

I am in Thailand, she is in Europe. I won't go into details about how much she and her travelmates mentioned "eurostyle" dudes before they left, but I am a little miffed... perhaps it's all the hot Thai girls down here but... really... come on... 3 days... don't they have internet in Europe.

She borrowed money before she left and mentioned she might need more. If the only time I hear from her is a request for more cash... my head will explode... I'll never return to Korea... the land of the inane and superficial has really torn a hole in my fiber.

So many hot girls, so hard to balance that alongside an abusive, lying, neglectful, girlfriend... I think that says it all... but she does owe me money... what to do, what to do...

it's crazy, but true...there are girls out there who will email you, call even, lots, just 'cause they feel like it and want to be in touch..and never ask for loans of money just before they take off.

you can't really ask for relationship advice on a web forum. relationships are personal, and only the people involved know what's going on.

but my friend told me once never to date anyone who didn't make you feel like a princess. that sounds real paris hilton-ish, but she meant if someone cares, they do. it's not supposed to be a struggle and worry. it's supposed to be good, fun...happy....etc.

sure sure... good fun, reciprocal, etc. what if that other person takes steps to erode your self-confidence, and then says that is their "style"... regretfully i truly do care for this girl but she continually wipes the shit from her shoe with me... i am tired of being a doormat... if she doesn't email me tomorrow... piss on her... i will do as i choose and then wait for my money to be repaid... hopefully, and in full... again hopefully...

How much money are we talking about here?

Judging from this thread and your last thread dealing with your girlfriend.

http://www.eslcafe.com/forums/korea/viewtopic.php?p=841270&highlight=#841270

You need to break up with her. Sooner than later. Your insecurities matched with her immaturity will lead to disaster. If I sound harsh its because thats what I determine from your posts. You know you need to break up with her just grab your balls and do it. Take it as a lesson and if you see yourself filling in as a doormat again you will know what to do.

Some women/men will keep a guy/girl on the side as their backup. It sounds like you are in one of those relationships. Things only matter when it is convenient for her. However its not entirely her fault. You let this happen. Learn and move on.

you must be taking the piss, er something here.

care for someone all you want. that's fine. just don't date 'em.

uh, when it gets down to eroding self confidence, it's time to get out. that ain't healthy. i know this because i have lived it. really...it's not supposed to be a g-damned struggle all the time.

god, i always feel like i'm talking to trolls. i have mega trust issues. seee...seeee what can happen?

just call it quits, and enjoy the freedom.

chaz...with all due respect, it seems to me you've already made your mind up what to do, and you're looking for validation...so consider yourself validated like a parking ticket (?) and go have some fun!

I lent money to 2 women in my life when I was young and foolish. I never saw a dime from either of them so I learned a lesson. Now if anyone asks to borrow money from me I ask for collateral(watch, electronic eqpt.) or jewellery, a signed promissory note and a post dated cheque for the full amount. Of course I don't know if any of those except the collateral would work in Korea. For some reason no one has ever taken me up on it.

Finally, cessation of communication from a Korean woman usually means the relationship is over. Take your bump, learn your lesson and move on.

Hey Chaz,

This isn't a first-love by chance is it? Because if it is, no advice is going to help you, you're just going to have to work through the process, as painful or rewarding the result may be.

And if it isn't a first-love, then you are in obvious need of the justification for a fling. I say, go ahead and try it. It sounds like she let you down first.

I understand how you feel. But hope you try to think there are lots of other things to do. Girl friend or boy friend are not everything in your life.

If I were you, I would not think about money back from her.

Didn't you post a thread about your gf coming home

It's like something from Jerry Springer. Rolling Eyes

Eat your spinich, grow a pair and leave your, "oh, my
gf did such-and-such to me, what am I gonna doooo?"
for another site.

weak, man, weak...

I agree. She's treat you like crap for 5 months and she's asking you for more money. I guess it depends how much money she owes you. I hate to say this but sometimes getting out of a bad situation means taking a hit. In the meantime.......Dude, you're in Thailand! Go to town.
