Thanks K1_Journey & TBoneTX for your responses - I feel like I right idiot but hopefully it will pass.
The house she is building will be the parents with a brother who doesnt work, when they pass away it will be the brothers - I'm thinking great so we are working for your family for the foreseeable future - great stuff
It seems that the country is irrelevant. It happens from all countries. There are many people from these crappy 3rd world countries that feel entitled to not only the money that they make (as married) but also some of money that YOU make. They should no appreciation to the person who basically rescues them from the xxxxxxxx they grew up in and gives them a better life. And they abuse it and make lofty demands about sending money back to a bunch of lazy siblings, or even parents, who think they hit the lottery when their sister/daughter hooks up with an American, or another Westerner.
I have seen people from my wife's country (Costa Rica) and others from South America pull this nonsense. You hear "For Latinos, family is very important." It's important for everybody, that's no excuse to demand that you send $750/month which is probably 3 months salary for the whole family combined. They live like royalty over there while you have sweat dripping out your ### here working to provide it for them. Like TBone said, if my wife tried any of that before we got married, I'd still be single.
OP,
Don't feel bad. You did what you could for her, but she's a user. She would probably leave you after she bled you dry anyway, so she did you a favor leaving early. Or her boyfriend got antsy and made her come live with him. You're better off, trust me. Change the locks and break off all contact. Let her do what she wants.
