Try it and see if you like it. Responsibility should be what happens to other people, not you.

It was withan question mark, I had my 19 years experience, and done with it at 36.

I'll put that suggestion to my wife, I'm not holding out much hope though.

You should have found anther one then.

 

Good luck

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.

Why get married in Thailand. Like going to a restaurant and ordering the same dish everyday.

I think many are trying. Fair enough too. Younger women. Party towns. Even weed shops.

I suspect for many it's more a case of making up for, rather than reliving.  Nothing wrong with that though.

Why get married anywhere?

If you want to export a Thai it is easier to get a visa. But you are right. A gf is just better

 If you stop eating at the restaurant you dont lose half your assets.

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.

No, I'm not a child any more, or that childish.

Been there done that. The spark wore off after 12 years.

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.

Well at least you experienced it. How is it when you think back at it? I regretted every day I did let go on one in my earlier days, but I was young and egoistic. This time Im in for it as long it lasts, and hopefully she is to, which I believe

It was great mostly. 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.

…or going to Disneyland and staying on the same ride all day. 

I never had anything in my youth that was remotely similar to Thailand. If the best I could do was relive my twenties, I would just as soon stay in the USA.

Reliving there youth?  From what I see a lot haven’t grown up.

I never will, but I wasn't an irresponsible Ahole back then either.

My teens, 20s, 30s and 40s in USA were excellent.  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.

I am a baby boomer and had no drugs, sex or booze in my younger days. 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.

Some flames leading to bickering have been removed

I lived my youth in Thailand..

Alcohol is 2nd rate or 3rd rate in Thailand. Drinking that stuff each day isnt much of an achievement or interesting.

Why does it need to be an achievement? Why does it have to be interesting? Can´t it just be easy and relaxing?

Ok fair enough. Ice water can be.
