If it doesn't, then you're with the wrong partner What is "love", to quote Charles. No one knows what one person means by it as it has many meanings. I don't believe in "love" in the way I think you mean it, but I do believe in friendship. Once lust left my marriage I would have been happy enough with friendship, but she apparently lied about that, too. I WAS with the wrong partner, but no longer.

If you both live long enough, they all become the wrong partner. For the lucky few, one of you will die before that happens. Back to the OP, One of you having a job, will extend the time it takes to reach that 'wrong' stage, being together 24/7 is wearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the mood for love Simply because I pay you Sure thing that when I pay you I'm in the mood for love Baht signs are in your eyes Bright as the stars were under Still is it any wonder I'm in the mood for love Why stop to think of whether This little dream might fade Funds may stop altogether But for tonight I'm not afraid If there's a cloud above And if it should rain we'll let it But for tonight forget it I've bought the mood for love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are in constant need of sex with a 30 year old it stands to reason she will pass her sell by date and become a "wrong partner" over time. For many others (not the few) the love, friendship and companionship continues even if the sex wears off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 60+ and fairly confident I'll be dead (or disinterested) before she passes her sell by date. I've put her through high school, and she's just finished her second year at university!

theguyfromanotherforum Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I'm in hilton bali at the moment. Oh, how refreshing is it to see a hotel not infested with worn out Thai "girlfriends", especially around executive lounge where old punters with their Hilton diamond status treat their dates to evening cocktails (read a cheap dinner). Quite a difference from that ho-house on "hi-so" sukhumvit 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can go to the Hilton with my Thai wife or any other great hotel within the world (like when I have taken my wife to Boracay, Indonesia, Australia and said other similar establishments) and she is suddenly a 'worn out girlfriend'. I will just wonder what others think back in the same light because for most, do not think that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just something that I noticed to be a sad fact in most Bangkok hotels. In any case I find Balinese women very nice looking. How's the rest of Indonesia?

When I was young, I did a lot of surfing there (around 1985). We spent most or time at the Padma Hotel in Legian (3 days) on a layover and had a great time. It certainly has changed since the 80's is all I can say. I prefer Boracay in the Philippines but once again, compared to the 90's, it is overdeveloped now and just killed the place. Have a great time. I am told the Hilton is very, very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is indeed nice. Very big, old hotel (I'd like to know the history of the building), but once you get past the hallways and somewhat old looking rooms it is a pleasure to discover its many charms. Swimming pool and a beach view room is great....all for less than $120 Inc tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
