I never post nonsense.

I came to Thailand to see Thailand.I was talking to a woman doctor and told her I would meet her while I was there visiting during Songkran. I always liked the look of Thai women. After I came here, I stayed at a hotel the friend recommended. My soon to be wife worked there. Easy and simple. My daughter was born from this relationship so it wasn't a failure. This is what happens to most relationships.

Politicians are the same everywhere, Most lie, exaggerate and are in it for power. People can vote there to add or remove, unlike here. P{roblem is, most they vote in are no good, at least after they get in. A president is unnecessary. A group of like minded people who are out to help everyone is. Infighting doesn't help.

I left because my ex didn't want to move there. Now she does. She wanted to stay near her family,most of whom don't care about each other. The US has everything Thailand has and much better, with more freedom. I don't lie nor exaggerate. You assume.

Assuming again. Better to take a walk and forget about this forum. You aren't adding anything besides negativity and trolling. If you really want to help, don't reply. Having a daughter I love isn't a failed experiment . It brought a smart, beautiful little girl in the world that is my responsibility to show a safe, teaching environment, just like i did with my other children back home. She's the only reason I'm still in a place that looks at women as inferior slaves. This I will teach her is wrong behavior. Maybe you don't have any children so cannot understand this. I not miserable but am missing what makes me happy. Many farangs here aren't happy but stay because it's cheaper than their own country or they can get younger women easier. All of tis gets old eventually, as we all do. Better to be in a place you're comfortable in.

The US has all anyone needs, no matter their preferences, at least as far as hobbies, sports, outdoor activities, beaches, mountains, lakes, forests and dining are concerned. You can find a younger wife in Asian countries easier, but if you have enough money, as some do, you'll always be followed by gold diggers no matter where you hang your hat.

No, it really shows your need to try and control. You are condescending because of a lack of self esteem, trying to make up for this by correcting others who are making minor and intentional mistakes. It doesn't matter how long my paragraphs are, as you and only a couple of others have ever said anything about it. What you are doing is not helping but rude, and it seems you don't know or were never taught the difference. Thinking I don't want to make smaller paragraphs because I don't know how is not helping anyone here. You are constantly being brought out on your one line mockery. Correcting an obvious typo just to make yourself feel superior doesn't work. Narcissists aren't superior. They were taught at a young age to control, by either neglect, abuse or being spoiled. I know full well it's never too late to learn. That's why I read daily, much of which is about human behavior, why others act the way they do. The last 35 years actually have been spent in this endeavor, mainly to help others who are suffering with depression and how to be a better mate. Guessing that people who speak Thai are much happier is saying you know all the farangs here , what they think, and that they are happy. You only know a tiny percentage, and if they are your friends, I'm suspicious of their thinking also. I always admit when I am wrong but this time it\'s all on you. Your need to constantly correct others and straying from the topic makes you a troll. One with a fragile ego that has a constant need to be fed. If this paragraph is too long for you to understand, try reading one sentence at a time. Replying is showing everyone your real motives.

Correcting others typos shows both a lack of restraint and an inferiority complex brought on by either a narcissistic personality disorder, an insecurity associated with a need to always be right, or jealousy , in your case maybe, because you cannot comprehend a long paragraph. It comes from a fear of being wrong. You assume what others know, and make comments trying to act superior. You aren't, although you'll never admit this.Most of your comments are one sentence long, and are just there for the sake of arguing. You go off topic, not really caring what the topic is, but having a want to again, correct others you either disagree with, or can't fathom what they are talking about. Google pedantic and see if it fits.

67 now in good health, and I have a few jobs I can do there. One is working with a family member making decks and gazebos. I'll need the extra income as things have have increased in price.

You only needed two there, so I'm guessing you don't understand what makes a paragraph, especially if you felt the need to correct mine.

If you would read what I write you would see that I said I understand what makes a paragraph. Maybe I really don't care to separate my thoughts into smaller paragraphs. Maybe you can't understand when I write a long paragraph. A smart person doesn't assume what others know. That would be a poor education on your part. You are wasting your time asking me to put things into paragraphs. Why are you bothering? Just to troll? That's arrogance and childish. Arguing just for the sake of. If you could comprehend what I've been writing, you could see I'm educated. Many others use long paragraphs here, and I can understand every word. Again, it's on you.

In Isaan most of what you see is all the same. It is pretty in many areas, especially the northern mountain regions. The beaches are also nice, but it's an 8 hour drive , so my location isn't good. It again is all about what you like. I have hobbies that I can't enjoy here, with the exception of driving hours to a pay and fish location, and that's not really what I enjoy, preferring to be able to fish any lake I want, like I did back home. There is no hunting here so that's out. If I had a motorcycle, day trips would be okay, but the dangers of driving here override that. Of course you can say you've never had an accident by many have, and on a bike is can be your last.

And your school teachers failed you.

I really don't think that the hour once a year and the minute every 90 days is what's been bothering him. It doesn't bother me but many other things do.

Actually, I do have a clue about what makes a paragraph, and what I write is not much over the amount of words "allowed". If you are reading on your phone, and have vision issues, I understand if you're having trouble. If you are on a computer and cannot comprehend a long paragraph, that's on you. I'm not arrogant, but I am stubborn. Who says I don't fit in here? I've been here over 6 years and everyone I meet gets along fine with me, because I respect others, and treat women and children well. I don't "belong" here because my thinking is that I can enjoy more the things I like in life, my daughter will be in a better place back home, and here it's becoming harder for a lot of people to be comfortable. This is one reason many move back and many locals move to other countries. I didn't create it. This has been going on for centuries. And it will only get worse before it gets better. I have opened my eyes to reality.

I know exactly what a paragraph is. Again, you don't have to read it if a couple hundred words escapes you're comprehension ability. Your replies are usually to antagonize others. Everyone has surely seen this and many have replied abut it. And you're another one who assumes they know others by a few posts in a forum. The only Thais that I know hate me are those that took my ex's side in the divorce. Only a handful and man haters the lot. Everyone else I come across here is fine with me. I get along, all of my life in fact, with most everyone. The only exceptions have been those who are mentally ill. Most diagnosed. Strange that is. Is this paragraph short enough for you to understand?

And still you reply? And laughing to yourself doesn't help. I repeat, if you don't want to read it, don't read it. If you can't read a few hundred words and comprehend it, there are schools that teach this. And by the way, that was a paragraph. Just over 200 words, many of them small and most will comprehend that amount. If you can't, just stick to GG's posts. He makes sentences paragraphs.

Who said I wasn't happy? I just said I'm not happy living here, not in life in general. I will be "happier" back home. Being stubborn can be a blessing. You don't allow others to take advantage of you for long. And it isn't about being flexible. If a place has things you enjoy, you will be comfortable living there. Some never leave their homes unless they're going to a bar or the store, and they're content. Some have things they enjoy doing, and can't do them here, and can in another place. Life isn't all about drinking and having sex with as many as possible. gets old after awhile. Then you find the need to return to who you really are, in a place you can be yourself. This is a foreign country for foreigners. Many who live here feel trapped, are in fear of something or other, and feel out of place, although they're being :"flexible", at least for now. You might be content doing what you're doing, but you have no idea how all others feel, even if they post things here. And by the way, people don't change who they really are after around age 30 or so. That's your character. You can adjust to a place, but if you don't belong, you will want to leave.

Clean air is a preventive for a very real problem. Upper respiratory disease is high here and won't get any better if they don't stop the burning. Being able to vote in potential candidates for office, and having them stay, is a sign of freedom many other countries with democracy have. We have proven to vote in narcissistic morons who's only agenda was power, but at least we had that choice. I lived in the US for 62 years, and never saw any violence, but of course it exists. Same here. Violence daily many will never see, but things are allowed here that others countries will not tolerate. Your next walk through bliss might not end that way because of the fact many boys raised here have no father figures, and they target what they perceive as weak, with 5 against 1, and holding sticks, machetes and knives, with the occasional gun. A country walk is usually safe anywhere, so that's why you feel safe.

If you don't want to read it, don't. Don't try to correct other's writing. A few hundred words in a long paragraph are very easy to assimilate, IF you have the ability.

We are all miserable at times because of our choices. All choices involving relationships are doomed to fail without a lot of time spent and communicating. Most people fall in love fast and make bad choices for this. Some people are narcissists that don't care anything about others, have no conscience, and look at the other gender to use, so they "get away with" their choices, not looking at anyone as a permanent thing but a temporary fix to sooth their negative thinking brought on by a bad childhood. This doesn't last forever, because the thing they really needed all of their lives was someone to be a partner to, and most end up all alone. Marrying someone fast happens daily because of attraction. if there wasn't attraction and chemistry, the world wouldn't have 10% of the people it does. If women weren't so attractive looking, we would make our decisions based on things in common, friendship and future alike plans. Every man that has been in a relationship, besides those that are high school sweethearts and luckily found a good partner early, has a story to tell. Some are picking the wrong person to trust, as I did a few times, and making kids with them because I like family. They didn't know how to function in a normal, communicative relationship, and did things they learned as children, and it ended the relationship. Of course taking a lot of time to get to know one another is always best, but again, that attraction sometimes makes you do things you know you shouldn't do. Some people marry at the drop of a hat and stay together happy forever. Some date for years then marry, then divorce in a week. No guarantees in life, especially in a relationship with another human of the other gender. It isn't about blaming others as much as seeing things as they really are. Venting helps people get over bad choices, and I and Bob are just telling things as they are. Thailand isn't for us . I'm a family man and want a real relationship. The one I had with my ex wasn't real. She to this day wants to come back, but without trust it's gone. I'll be much happier back home, and I don't need a woman for that. Having a good one will of course make it better, but my happiness comes from family and hobbies I can enjoy. It isn't always someone else's fault, but sometimes toxic people can bring you down, so you do what you can to avoid them, and if that means moving.

Staying in a place you aren't comfortable in, feel fear in, are looked at like you are an outsider, a place where women and men pull knives on you for the slightest provocation, a place where you are seen as a walking ATM, isn't as good as trying your luck elsewhere. If you have the means to go and set up shop in another country, you might find it's where you really belong. People know their own countries and that's also an option, unless they really hated their birthplace for some reason. If you haven't any children, leaving is a lot easier. If you have a wife you love, she needs to follow you wherever you go, because not being happy in a place puts it's mark on the relationship. Some problems you always have with you. Some are from the environment you live in. Just like a person with depression, leaving a toxic environment greatly increases your chance for better mental health. Same for those not suffering from clinical depression. A bad environment (to you) isn't a place you need to stay in.

Try reading more, easier to comprehend when you come across a large paragraph. . GG writes one sentence at a time, which is not right, but no one says anything. Seems it's easier for some older folk to comprehend if it's written in one sentence at a time instead of a large paragraph.

Like many had said before I moved here. rent awhile to see if you fit in. If not, you leave. I miss home,and also would like to see places like Europe and other parts of Asia, but being re -established back home around family, hobbies and a better environment for bot myself and my daughter will give me those options more. I was one of the ones they warned about. Putting all your eggs in one basket. Not a good idea, as a few of my friends here still have homes back home to return or retreat to when you wanted. I don't have that so will have to start all over. One more and the last move of my life. pain in the arse but it will be worth it, as I'll feel better when my daughter is around a family that actually cares, and isn't there to take selfies to show off on facebook and hide your true feelings about. I'm a hunter and fisherman and hunting isn't allowed here, and fishing is only good in pay to fish places, private lakes and the ocean. Unlike America, there is no conservation of the waters so they get netted out by people only thinking of their next meal, and not tomorrow's. If I didn't have my girlfriend here, I would be a lot more bored. My daughter has only two friends here, as she is looked at as an outsider because she is half farang. That's something they grow up with, and it isn't a good thing if you aren't truly accepted. I know you can't pick your kids partners for them, and they can find idiots anywhere, but here to find a good, faithful husband is near impossible unless you want to be a farmer's wife, and that's not something I want for my daughter. Nothing wrong with being a farmer, as we all need them, but it's a very hard life with very little joy.

Yes, and have been to Bangkok and other cities north, south and west, and some beaches.
