LaosLover Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 My second post here was can you live in Thailand on $8K a month? Like, what would that be like? Tremendous anger. One guy said I'd likely end up kidnapped or (real quote) "with a bullet in my head". More outrage than usual from the English. It's against their religious to ever state a number.

I suspect for many it's more a case of making up for, rather than reliving. Nothing wrong with that though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you know nothing about evolving together and grow, same as things in the bedroom also evolve with the feelings for each other. Takes two, and it takes a bit chemistry and work, and willing to do the work. But I expect no understanding from those who have not experienced themselves. Waking up and feel in love and be loved is great even it sometimes feels like this is it, and turn it back to day one again just by a smile, and both accept they are wrong and better than this. Sounds cliche, but it is possible if both is willing to meet on neutral ground. Edited August 3, 2023 by Hummin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are other reasons for getting married - I got married as some things were easier for the kids, and also I got Thai citizenship through being married.

I just lost interest after that. Different ideas. I regret not getting married at 21 and having kids then with somebody else. Too late now. Anywhere the new gf who knows. We might have a kid.

Actually a bit better than here, TH, when single. 2nd wife here. 17+yrs, has been excellent, as have the rest of the 40s, 50s & 60s here. No doubt, I've been blessed. Only came here for a change of scenery, and cost of living. Starting to get a bit bored over there. Been there, done that syndrome, nothing else interested me in USA. Along with not wanting to be any part of the new invade and occupy decades to come. Damn embarrassing. Edited August 3, 2023 by KhunLA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too busy working for that. On what I earned I couldn't afford drugs, tobacco or booze and nice girls didn't ( I only knew nice girls ). I think thats true for a lot of us that grew up in the 60/70's. There is a perception that it was all sex, drugs and rock n roll. That may well have been true in the urban areas, but for a lot us in rural area's society was still pretty much the same as it was in the 50's. Now I'm talking from an American perspective, but talking to Brits and other Europeans I think that was pretty much the same for them too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
