My Thai wife is the relationship of my life. We have been together for almost 24/7 for 8 years. A part of what makes it work is the financial security that I bring to her. (You got to bring something to the table.) Personality and good looks are not everything. (I have learned that.) It’s a total combination. The total package. And it must be a personally satisfying package. My Thai wife has three sisters. 2 of them are with Furlong husbands. We all are different. And they all are different. I live within an extended Thai family. We all (except one sister who lives off-compound) live in separate houses in a single compound which includes aunts, nieces, nephews and parents and grandparents and etc. I see the many different personalities all around me. And sure those personalities are formed in the matrix of Thai culture and values but they are individuals. I can’t tell what is going on in your relationship. If it is about intimacy or emotions or a lack of expressed appreciation or what. But my Thai wife is very different then her sisters and they all are not interchangeable. Also I don’t feel the need to talk about my emotions a lot and my wife can be moody. I feel secure enough that if it’s important we will deal with it in a concrete fashion or it’s temporal and will fade away. I don’t prod. I might ask, “What’s going on, babe?” And most of the time she will say, “Nothing.” But obviously something is going on. However, it could be that her feelings are hurt from a variety of sources. If it is something I am doing I eventually will find out because I will continue to ask and show up ready to hear what she has to say.

I will contact you. Brand new to this forum but I have spent years living in Thailand. Thanks.
