I could have been married 100 times because I shagged more beautiful and educated women than anybody could dream of. But why ? If you don't need them for visa or business purpose, what any other reason can you find to marry them ?! I will get a nurse when I will be old enough and will need one to change my diapers... You must be so hansum. Did you ever write for Penthouse magazine? I think I recognize the style. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swissie Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 I started this thread as a hypothesis only and does not apply to my personal situation. I merely suggested this as an alternative for Farangs shying away from official marriage, (with it's many obligations), but not wanting to leave a Thai GF of many years "high and dry" once the Farang has passed away. The word "fairness" comes to mind. An acceptable compromise, once (official) marriage has been excluded as an option, I find. Among other positive "side-effects", it would not automatically put the entire Thai-Family on some kind of mental "Entitlement-Program", financed by the Farang. (Unless he wants to, of course.) - Some have critsised this as a "contract". Perhaps it is, but what is a Farang sighning at the Amphoe in case of Marriage? = A contract! Nothing less! With regard to comments like: "be worth more alive than dead": In my OP I forgot to mention, that as part of such a "contract" a Post-Mortem Autopsy of the deceased Farang will have to be conducted at a BKK forensic institution, firmly establishing "cause of dead" and not by the local butcher in some dark corner of the Isaan. All part of the contract and 100% understood by GF. As I gather, a good number of Thai-Ladys past the age of 45 would find such an arrangement as quite tempting. Cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After your demise.. I thought the pension would stop on your death, with wife being Thai.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only potions I put myself into are love potions, no 9! LOL Yes I agree, things can go wrong, but I shall worry about that if / when it happens. By the way, why do you class me as 'older people' ?

But it is their choice . A few on TV like to boast about their great lives . Personally I appreciate the more humble guys that just say they are happy with their partners without all the self importance . From what I have read on TV , there are quite a few guys happy with their situations.....as well as some not so happy.

But I feel pity for you: 1. Buy her a house and a car/motorbike. 2. For <deleted>.. sake do not tell her she will get your money when you kick the bucket. 3. Give her a monthly allowance. 3. When she is demanding more money, kick her out and take a new one. Follow these steps. You don't have to. Up to you. But if you don't there might be some nasty surprises waiting for you.

Not entirely sure why I should 'be fair' to a woman who appears to be my employee. When I die, let her find another employer like the rest of the working world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
