What I hate is I keep getting little bits of doubt on the edge of my thoughts- I keep reading about stories and bad things that happen to the farang boyfriends/husbands. I do know that most good news is never reported and bad news is, yet still... doubt gnaws at me every so often.

Of course, that's the most difficult thing when you don't have a good line, a good grasp of each other's language, and complete certainty about the relationship. There's been a lot of good advice here about getting over some of the technical problems.

But, getting back to the "heart" issues. If you are just spending within your means on visiting her, or having her visit you, and having good experiences, then you don't really have a lot to lose. If it works out it will be great. If it doesn't you still gained a lot, right?
