That's sad. My fiancee is from Cambodia, and the culture is similar, particularly with love, etc. In my travels to-and-from Cambodia, I had broken a lot of Cambodian girls' hearts until I met my fiancee. Americans and Cambodians, (and I'm assuming Americans and Laotians) have different attitudes about love. In those cultures like Cambodian and Laotian, most girls only have a single person they ever love and marry. Americans tend to date around, and don't generally commit easily. I had the courage to tell the other girls that I would not marry them and they should move on, but I know some guys that don't, they lead a girl on for different reasons, and then hope to just leave and forget about them.

In the case of my fiancee, I had to be 100% sure she was the right one for me before I confessed any feelings and before we caled eachother so much as boyfriend or girlfriend. And now we are so close to getting married, I am so happy!

I am so sorry and sad for your friend. I hope her heart can heal and she can move on and find someone who will love her forever.

wow...I'm sorry for her. I understand the OP's concern but I agree with this post. It's all about culture and those dating Americans should understand the American culture before they enter into a relationship. Although an engagement is as serious and promising as a marriage in other countries, it is not the case in the U.S. This young lady will have to face family and friends who may not understand our culture. I'm sure she doesn't want to deal with the shame and rather avoid returning back home. I'm really sorry for her and wish her luck....

i think they just didn't try hard enough because i've seen plenty of laos citizen and americans able to marry in laos and get marriage certificate. most important is to get a village chief to sign the papers for marriage and that cost money and the laos citizen having to go to the chief. once you get that it's not too hard. just gotta have some money.
