My wife’s father was Chinese and her mother was Chinese-Thai. When we met and married, in 2002, she was 48 and I was 57. She was divorced and had a lovely 17 year old daughter at university. All he parent’s children were university educated.
The village wedding, and we count that as our wedding date and not the one at the Amphur, was at her family house.
I gave her brother 70,000 baht, he went to the bank and exchange it for new notes. We showed that money plus a gold necklace, bracelet, engagement ring and wedding ring etc. After the wedding everything came back to us.
We bought a house here in 2005 and I paid about 80% of the cost. We lived in the UK from 2002 until when we retired out here in 2007. Yes, financially I pay everything now but it allows us to be free to do whatever we want.
I’ve actually been retired about twenty years. We are together basically 24/7 although she has a few days away with friends from the past once a year and meets them every month or so. I go sometimes, but ex-schoolteachers by definition are noisy. Also goes to see her grandchildren most weeks, I go sometimes ....
So, I have an Aging Asian Babe, 43.5Kgs, 163cm and doesn’t look her age. We do get through a fair amount of money but what the hell, I am happy with my lot and hope to enjoy this life somewhat longer. She has a lower golf handicap than me #### !!!!! She is basically only light brown but hours on the golf course has fixed that.....
Not sure where I fit into your list...............................
