We are on our 8. Year, 2 year married. Found out after covid, we needed to secure our relationship so we did not get stuck seperated in future. We all win and loose as the years goes, and it is not about what we lost, but what we gained. Be it experiences and knownlege, and hopefulle smarter but not damaged. I have started and closed businesses, and eventually managed to make more money than I lost. If I gave up, I would had lost everything. Relationships is almost same thing. You need to put some energy in to it, understand what you doing, the marked, and what doesn't work, and quit in time in necessary. If you are not sure, you are sure

If you have something to wake up to, and also need to do something useful and being diciplined helps alot wherever you are. Living on an Island back in the days, it was climbing, kayaking, diving, freediving and being social with equally minded people. We did activities together and had dinner together in the evening. At most we where more than 20 people showing up to the same restaurants. Of course before internet hit the Islands and ruined everything. Reading books and exchange books was the entertainment if not a movie night (pirate movie dvd) down at the beach on a white bedsheet and horrible speakers ,with the sound of waves in the background. People who had stayed for years, and people who came and went, and came back. That was the good old beach/Island days. And of course the bars with live music every Saturday, or any day someone felt for doing so. Today, I would choose an Island with a decent hospital and possibilities to be airlifted to Bangkok or a larger city.

It is all about money and freebies for you Susan 😁 Must be a tough ride for you

Since I'm not one of those, I can agree from my point of view. I'm also one of those who feel more connected to my wife the longer we are together, but fornus it have always been babysteps establishing our relationship, finding our way to coexist. Not crazy love or lost our heads, neither promised each other gold and air castles and pink dreams. That's maybe the difference from others who have no time to be lost, and invest all they have, both feelings and invest in house and car after short time knownledge. You know something is wrong, when the girls starts talking about land and house investments 3 months in to the relationship, or want to emigrate to Europe. I had a few of those before I met my wife.

Better economy both priced for same standard and service. Reliability same as Toyota. Ford have less reputation for reliability

I see your point, and understand, but that says more about the men, than the women. Men who take advantage of poor women because they can, and ending up as Thai women haters at worst, or just grumpy old men who lost. I understand I come out arrogant, but it is in context replying to men who bash those of us who thrive and enjoy being two, and feel we have a good relationship far from what others think they know. It is possible to have good relationships with women, but I also understand not everyone is willing to walk the extra mile to make it happen. Doesn't mean it is a one way contribution, it only works if both do those small extra things for each other and make sure both get the best out of it. It takes adjustments from both parts. An retired expat with an younger girl, I can just assume how boring it can be if have no common ground, or nothing to do, that makes them get up in the morning and start doing something, and do not have daily routines, and as well weekends, same as you would do home when still working. Not to fill the life with some healthy substance

And the weirdos have no idea other thinks they are weirdos, but everyone else is 😁

Again you pulling it out of proportion thinking every Thai girls needs to be saved, and thai wife's do not have resources or possibilities or potential to make it in life. Your experience We can trow arguments at each other all day long, but, who really cares. Met enough socially awkward people in Thailand to understand where most coming from when debating here.

As every place in Thailand, do not get stuck. Islands is better to visit, than living, but if I had to choose one place to live only in Thailand, it would had been an Island.

Did you use any herbs, or did the Dr offer you alternative medication?

I agree, some is better off as single, also better for the serious girls who want something more out of life than just being a low paid chef, sex toy and cleaner on a leach

Life is easier alone for one who struggle in life, both economic and socially? You see, arguments comes easy at once you start trowing them around 😁

Special for you Enjoy 😉

Nope, but I favor the Dutch before UK and France or the turks. Hope for Spain as well in the final

Why not aim for something long term sustainable diet? Calculate your calories maintenance for your weight, and eat balanced 500 calorie deficit, loose half a kg a week eating clean food, balanced 25% protein, 30% fat, 45% carbs? Do aim for move a bit more for every week, do not give up if the weight loss is slow, do not cheat, stop drinking alchohol, drink more water, make sure you get enough sodium, and do the long run passionately and with patience. There is no short cuts, be diciplined and have believe in what you do. Cambridge diet might work, but christ sake, crap food and diet, when you can eat clean tasty food of red meat, chicken, duck, fish, vegetables, fruit, lenses/beans, oat, nuts, virgin oils, and diary produts if you only bother to weigh your food, make your weekly meny for lunch and dinner of your favorite food. Breakfest basic 500 calorie of oats, youghurt, cottage cheese, banana, spoon of jam, a few nuts and chia seeds. A Multivitamin 2000- 2300 calories is alot of food if you eat clean and do not cheat. Good luck Up and go find your favorite exorcize. Rowing is one of the most efficiently activity for weight loss.

Most likely the change in diet did the flow wonder while palmetto became the placebo. Serious conditions should be investigated and diognosed properly, not do self diognosis and self medication

Two large, high-quality studies funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), each using a different preparation of saw palmetto, found it was no more effective than a placebo (an inactive substance) for BPH symptoms. Saw palmetto products are made in a variety of ways and differ in composition. Some studies of saw palmetto products other than those used in the NIH-sponsored studies have suggested that they might be helpful for BPH symptoms, but many of these studies were of low quality. No saw palmetto product has been conclusively shown to be effective for BPH https://www.nccih.nih.gov/health/saw-palmetto

At least the Swiss played or tried to play offensive compared to the overpaid Uk stars. Such a cowardly game of them, a shame

My illusion is as good as any other illusion, after all I'm the creator

How many days travelling? Activities planned to do? Motorbike, passenger of motorbike taxi, diving?

I would understand if you said "The risk is not worth the joy/pleasure anymore, therefor I decided to quit riding motorbikes on thai roads".

I have seen enough old men think they are 19 again, not a pretty sight

Some of us eat alot of pizza when younger, and are now moved on to finer dining 😉 It's called growing up

Shenigans Silom Wherever you go in Thailand They are lousy to pour beer the correct way, even they know how to do it.
