thai_narak Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 First of all I'm happily married with my Thai wife... So how many more farangs here in LOS are happily married with their Thai partners? I noticed that some farangs are either happy or married. First, when they arrive in Thailand they seems to be very happy but after getting married everything seems to go wrong. Or is this just true with some farangs with retirement benefits (pension + new local thai wife)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toptuan Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Ha! I love the dilemma your thread title poses. It's like walking up to someone else and demanding: "Yes or no! Have you stopped beating your wife?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toptuan Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 (edited) Ha! I love the dilemma your thread title poses. It's like walking up to someone else and demanding: "Yes or no! Have you stopped beating your wife?" Just curious, as you broached the subject, Have you stopped the beatings? YES or NO In my case, more appropriately: Has SHE stopped the beatings?

manjara Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Happily married, 2 kids, both daughters, plus one stepdaughter that she had already. I do wish she would stop the beatings, but I know she means well! That's it on the kids front for now, but maybe in 3-4 years??? (once I start paying for international schooling it won't seem like such a great idea!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh my,you must come in a shock coming here, after being here in the late 60's,you must have so many nice stories to tell us, expats-farang in thailand about.Must have been so clean in those days....

Khun ? Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Happily married but not to each other. Her to some sorry sucker and me to my work. I'll be divorcing work soon to live happily ever after and her, hard saying but I will avoid contact as much as possible. Her part is what I heard and my part is fact. What is the old saying, how is your wife and my kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dclaryjr Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 My Thai wife and I recently celebrated our 31st wedding anniversary and we're very happily married. Not living in LOS at the moment because we are helping raise some grand kids--but we WILL live there in the not too distant future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaBlue05 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I'm guessin that the rate of happiness among farang/thai woman married couples would be generally higher than farang/farang. High maintenance gets stale after a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldenbead Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I'm guessin that the rate of happiness among farang/thai woman married couples would be generally higher than farang/farang. High maintenance gets stale after a while What a ridiculous thing to say! Many of the Thai/farang relationships that I read about on this forum sound extremely high maintenance to me. FTR, I am happily married, 17 years, 4 kids, not to a Thai. Could it be that some intelligent farang woman got the better of you some time ago? Sounds like sour grapes.

dumspero Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Looks like the were-marrieds are shy. I was married to a Thai woman for 15 years. Am now with a Thai girlfriend for three years. Have never been happy, but have grown to enjoy the beatings. Some never learn... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tracker Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Married... just a word and a paper. I'm 8 years togehter with my thai wife. Loved her from the beginning. Got married 3 years ago because it was simpler to stay here with the marriage certificate. Marriage didn't not make me more happy then I already was. Its an institutional thing. my few cents...
