Problems With My Thai Girlfriend

[AngelofDeath 1]

I've got another thai girlfriend after the breakup with my previous thai girlfriend. I've known my current thai girlfriend for more than 1 year. Recently we were talking about the future. For example, we discussed how many kids we want to have, what we need in the future, whether we will move to her province to stay after marriage etc. So she listed down the things she expect from me. If I can't fulfill her expectation within 2 years, she will break up with me. Her reason is that she can't wait 6 or 10 years for me to fulfill her expectations. We are both in our mid 20s.

** More information about her is that she's from Issan, she's not a bargirl and she holds a normal decent job(10k baht/month).

Her expectations:

1. I have to build 2 houses in her province, one for her parents and another for ourself. (I looked around in the Issan forum and I figured that it would cost around 3-4 million bahts for 2 houses,)
   
2. A decent car to travel (600K baht?)
   
3. Buy a condominium in Bangkok (1-2million baht)
   
4. She wants to own a shop selling stuff. (I don't know what kind of stuff yet, and I don't know how much it will cost, probably 5 million baht?)
   

What her expectations mean is that I have to earn between 5 million to 10 million baht within 2 years to fully pay for all these things she wants. I can fulfill her expectation but I will definitely take more 2 years. Positively speaking it would be 5 years and the worst case scenario would be 10 years.

I told her that I will try but she showed me this: However, she said she love me; I love her too.

Anybody in here can show me guidance or give me advice or tips on how to proceed on with this relationship. I just need more perspectives and more brains is definitely better than 1 brain. And seriously, I'm bored of going in and out of relationship. Repeating this process for 4 times over the years made me very tired. I just want to settle down.

However, she said she love me; I love her too.

It's been said that a better translation of 'I love you Honey' ... is I need you Honey'

Maybe some things are lost in translations between our two Cultures.

Bloody hell , she don't want much does she. Takes most people a good few years to get all that. Get rid and get back into the game.

100% trip-trap over the TV bridge.

The guy's a clown; he's lost without ever firing a shot.

Even a well-healed man would balk at those requirements. Two houses, a condo, a car and a business, all in two years.

What does she bring to the table besides the standard equipment?

She has unrealistic expectations. If you want to keep her, you need to make her understand, which ain't going to happen.

OMG, just tell her that you will give her the same as a Thai B/F would give her and watch her jump on the next bus out.

I cant believe you actually put up with this clap trap from your G/F.

I can't see any positive replies at all? She's a very nice lady and she will be a very good wife. She said in her culture, the boyfriend pays for everything. I tried explaining to her that sometimes we can go dutch when we go out for meals. But she said if the boyfriend doesn't pay for the girlfriend, then what's the point of being a boyfriend to a thai lady.
