    <description>&lt;P&gt;Dear Heartbreakoz~&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Welcome here to our friendly forum. First I'd like to express my sadness over the loss of your son, he must have had a big heart to volunteer at the Soi Dog Foundation.&amp;nbsp; To lose someone by suicide is a special form of grief. and putting up a memorial can go a way towards being able to remember the matter more easily, so I hope the memorial was placed, even if not how you would wish.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;39 years of being with a person is a very long time, and I don't realy know enough about your years together to be able to form a clear picture of your partner.&amp;nbsp; He may himself have been very moved about that death and the memorial - or maybe not. If he was there are plenty of people that will take advantage of a person's grief for monetary gain and be very cunning how they do it.&amp;nbsp; If not he may have seen it as an opportunity to play up..&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I cannot say I like his response saying you can go and he is not going to change. That does not sound like love and affection for you - though I suppose it could be guilt.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I apologize if I am not outright condemning him, on the face of it his actions and words paint a bleak picture of him, however I still have those 39 years at the back of my mind and only you can say if they were&amp;nbsp; good or not, or even if the were worth trying to salvage.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You are right to be terribly hurt and angry.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Would you like to come back and say more?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Croix&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Found out my Partner is having an affair and sending money to a Thai Bar Girl and even just bought her an IPhone 17 pro only found out by accident when I was paying Bills when he went away in August and there was a strange name on one of his Transfers after a bit of digging found a photo online of her in his Hotel Room. I confronted him and he said so what they didn’t have sex and I could leave if I wanted says he wasn’t going to change the worst part is that he was supposed to be over there arranging a memorial for my late Son who died of Suicide 27 Years ago at the Soi Dog Foundation where my Partner was Volunteering. He’s now going back again in November for 3 weeks. I’m destroyed inside and don’t know what to do or how to feel it’s such a betrayal for my Son’s Memory it’s tainted The Memorial Plaque for me feel like I’ve lost my Son a second time. I am not Suicidal as I wouldn’t want to give my Partner the satisfaction of having my half of everything we established together to share with his whore.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
