His 'holidays' in bloody Thailand

[NotSoEdenRoc]

Name change.

I'm single. I've been involved in an on/off fairly casual thing with this guy for 3 years.He goes to the Far East about 4 times a year. Turns out that he goes to Bangkok and somewhere else in Thailand...I've only just found this out, he's never mentioned Thailand usually says he's going to Malaysia and/or Singapore but doesn't talk about his trip when he gets back home.

Can there be any innocent reason why a single man in his mid 40's goes to Bangkok 4 times a year ? On his own? And if it's all innocent (yea yea) why not just tell me the truth about where he goes?

I know I need to get checked for STI's. I am going to die of embarassment a woman of my age going in there, are these clinics full of 16 year olds?

But my main question here is, would anyone else feel like I do? I feel like I've lost all respect for him as a man. He's a horrible repulsive creature doing this. I feel dirty myself. I feel as if he must hate women.

ZOMBIE THREAD

This is a weird revival of a zombie thread. Why?

Anya - he sounds aggressive and abusive. What you have described is not at all normal or healthy, no.

No idea about the Thailand thing but please don't feel embarrassed about going to a clinic to get checked out. Many of them especially in cities also deal with contraception and things like smear tests - I went to the same clinic for my coil fitting and smear tests as for STI checkups. And even if not, no one in the waiting room ever paid the slightest bit of attention to one another, especially the teenagers.

ZOMBIE THREAD indeed. With the subject matter in some of these recent zombie threads, I think someone's getting off on resurrecting them... hairy hands

What does Zombie Thread mean?

He's probably a sex tourist, which makes him gross, exploitative and possibly a rapist. Run far and get yourself tested.

Wtf?

It means if you actually look at the date on the first post you will see that it's from 2012 so highly unlikely to still be relevant.

My dad goes to Thailand twice a year. He makes no secret about his reasons for going.

That is really vile.
The reason it's vile is that a lot of the 'women' these dirty old men go to Thailand to have sex with are sometimes as young as 13! They may look older, but are often really really young.
Apparently the age of consent is different there.

It makes me wonder if that's the main appeal for a lot of them. Sickening to think that a lot are knowingly and unknowingly committing paedophilia,, but there's no comeback because they're in a different country.

You should point that out to your dad.

No dad of mine would be allowed anywhere near his grandchildren if I knew he was going to Thailand for sex. No way.

ffs zombie thread.
