TLDR : Answer Summary
The phrase from your girlfriend suggests that she feels disappointed or frustrated because you are not following through on promises or commitments you've made. Many comments offer interpretations like "You said you would do something, but why aren't you doing it?" or emphasize the importance of keeping your word in relationships. This seems to be a universal issue in relationships, highlighting the need for clear communication and follow-through on commitments.

First it starts from small amount of money and then they start asking for more. Ask her to work hard and take care of herself. Been there done that and suffered. Your hard earned money don't giveaway once you stop giving them you will be humiliated and even be abused.

1) run on sentence.

2) do what you say you will do. If you are not going to do what you say you will do. Then do not say you will do.

Do you understand now? Lol.

She thinks you are letting her down. Not keeping your promises to her. Lying to her about it.

Why would you want us all to know this? Just be honest with the lady and keep your word
Bob ********
@Tim ********
He probably wouldn't want us all to know this...If he knew what it meant ?
Lincoln *******
She is calling you a hypocrite

I guess this is the right interpretation "Why you no give me money when you said you will give me. You always say you will pay me but, never pay me". Lol

Thai ladies are well known for unsignaled changes of mind and plans. Ironic she would accuse you of that.

Overall dishonesty between boyfriends and girlfriends is a huge problem here, even between Thais, so suspicion is high until you prove trustworthy.
Aaron *******
Send money.
John *******

1. She may have had a stroke. Rush her to the hospital immediately! 😄

2. If you say you're going to do something, you'll do it! She doesn't need to remind you every 6 months.

3. She listens to what you say, but believes what you do. Or don't do.

4. Fix the dang sink!

And you'll get a permanent gift

I was brought up with the principle..."Your word is your bond".

If your word is worth nothing then it follows that ...etc., etc., etc.,

You promised to do something, but you are not actually following through on your promises. This can be frustrating and hurtful for the people who are relying on you.
Chris ********
You ain’t keeping up on the payment plan you pre-agreed!
James *********
Why don't you do..what you say your gonna do.
Us *****
It means she wants that monthly salary you promised her.
Stéfan ********
Follow through with your promises
Marianne ********
A wild guess would be "You said you would do something, why are you not doing it?"

Or why don't you do things when you say you are going to do it.
Mitchell *******
Yup! 🤣
