It's a good thing she didn't ask Sebastian from Venezuela.

I haven't tried another lady in 20 years. I guess it depends on your type of relationship and type of person you are.

We met in the USA where she was a graduate student.  I was taking a senior level statistics course and she was the grad assistant for the course.  Married for 23 years until she passed away in 2005.  

That's sad! Did you guys make it back to Thailand or did you stay in the States?

Perhaps that is the secret to a successful marriage not being able to converse .

Hmmm I gonna relate to this.

 

Unfortunately I speak Thai and Lao, and strangely when she is <deleted> off with me always reverts to either Thai or Lao, or a verbal diarrhea of both.

 

There are times I wish she spoke a language I didn't understand!

 

I always laugh when I watch a British movie 'Still Crazy' when Bill Nighy's Swedish wife goes off at him in Swedish

An internet dating site, 4 years ago. I thought from her uniform that she was military.   

 

Chatting, "Hello."

We chatted hours per day for 5 weeks, about our lives. Met in person when her assignment changed to CM, from the South.  Love at first sight. Together ever since. In a few years, she'll be a General.   Literally works her ass off at her office, keeps the house clean, tirelessly helps many people. Looks great in a dress, clean, healthy. Does not watch TV, reads, speaks more languages than I do. A credit to her country.

I didn't think Thais married to foreigners were allowed to be generals.

Fast forward two decades later plus some later, my daughters grandparents from her mother's side who didn't want me as their son-in-law recently passed due to old age, and my daughter is going to inherit tens of millions of dollars when her mum passes eventually,

... unless her Mum writes/re-writes a will to the contrary.

We're not married, but she's my wife. If we were in America, she would be my common-law wife. (Depending on the State).

 

Her family has a lot of juice in government and police, a few of them live in houses that were constructed out of teakwood, so it's not going to be a problem, I think. 

She knows people all over the country, she's been assigned everywhere.  Lots of people owe her favors.

 

I do everything I can to support her dreams, while I live a quiet Life in CM as a retired military veteran.

Yes, lived and worked in Bangkok for 12 years at one point.  Now I tend to bounce back and forth between the two.

Lol, no other kids, and will's can be contested in a court of law, suffice to say, it's all going to be hers.

It's happened before particularly as to your use of the word 'all'.

I'm sure it has, but given she is her only daughter and lives with her, trust me when I say, it's going to her, like I said, no bubble bursting here. 

 

Too bad I won't be alive long enough to ask her for a loan in the future ????

Persons who have been made to swallow a "bitter pill" sometimes do strange things especially if they can afford a good lawyer.

Ok, whatever makes you feel better.

 

I will just keep saying that she will give it ALL to her only daughter.

It has northing to do with my feeling better -- you are the one who chose to post about your family financial matters on a social media.

I was walking through the clothing section of the main market in Loei.  She was helping her sister sell clothing.  I asked the sis if she had a local hand made pakama. She did, but not on her cart.  So a couple days later, we met at a local Wat where the Khao Phansa ceremony was going on.  Turns out they had befriended a British VSO volunteer teacher gal, so we all became acquainted. I have no idea of our first words as her sister did most of the talking.

 

A year or so later (43 years ago):

 

 

She was standing with two other female friends in the hotel in Pattaya where I was staying, she was down from up country with two of her friends. Her beautiful face caught my attention right away, also her height, she was very much taller than her two friends, the three of them started looking at me and I just looked at her and said your beautiful.

It all started from there and she ended up taking me home with her.

Something similar......wife to be was sat with a couple of her friends on the steps outside a small mall. I stopped as she caught my eye. Sweet, pretty, coquettish.

 

One of her friends thought I was interested in her, so it was a bit embarrassing saying sorry, not you, her.

 

We spent, in total, three days together before we married. That was 15 years ago (today as it happens!!!?

If the meet was in a bar in Pattaya ...

 

I imagine very often,  the future wife's very romantic first words would have been

 

...... "Do you want Long Time or Short Time ?"

Great to see all the positive and humorous posts negating all the doomsday posts about thai gold diggers ive seen here over the years. For me met in oz 20yrs ago and still going strong, first time we met i'd had a few and she brushed me but i soon redeemed myself and rest is history ????

Well it is true, contrary to popular rumor, regular couples do exist in the farang/thai couple world.

 

Now is that an adventure in itself? Hell Yes

 

My wife grew up and was educated in the US, but there is something in the DNA that makes them different.

 

Feisty doesn't quite cut it. Put it this way, a Thai woman is as loving as it's possible to be. But pi**ss that girl off...don't let her near knives! lol.

 

So that 'normal' situation is for a lot of us, but the problem always get down to the fact that so many farang/thai hook up's are with some kind of sex worker.

Generally doomed to failure and they feed into the perception from other farangs that your spouse fails into that category. And if you want to see my wife with the 'knives' thing, that a red rag to a Bull
