Rescued ... 

Think you got that backwards, they rescued the foreigner from a sexless life 

No. No need. And salaries here are a freaking joke. Works as a housewife...shops, cooks, cleans and takes care of me. That's work enough. I pay for everything + a generous monthly allowance. Much better deal for everyone. She's making my coffee now haha. 

My wife works at eradicating what little grey matter I have left.

You can't make your own coffee?

 

What kind of man does not make his own coffee?

 

Does she also wipe your bum?

My wife is a teacher at a local international school and has been for 18 years. In two years time she has to retire from her job due to her age, but at the moment seems to enjoy cooking after her return from work each day, but she sometimes picks up some noodles on the way home. I'm now 70 and enjoy driving out to rural locations with the retired dog to fly my drone and take photos, I also enjoy amateur photography with the few cameras I have. I stay away from malls unless with my wife and generally travel in the opposite direction to our small city centre which is currently full of tourists.

I don't require my misses to do anything else.

Spent over 50 years tied down by work schedules of me and two wives.  Now I pay the salary that makes her available anytime I like.

I hardly see my wife, She will bring me a coffee in the morning while I'm on here, she has her own shop, goes to work around 8am sometimes earlier if she has work/customers waiting, runs 3 different business from her shop, repairs clothes/makes items for resorts, beauty salon, sells junk food to kids after school, and sells produce from 'our' land has a drink at her shop after (only 1 klm away), sometimes I'm asleep before she gets home, even when she comes home early, she watches TV in "HER" room, 9 times out of 10 I cook my own dinner, do my own laundry. I have no interest in going to bars or whatever now, waste of money in my eyes. Lonely? not really but after 9pm when she is not home I am, even if she is in "Her" room I'm not lonely. 

Wife has not worked for last 16 years ...when we got married  and I retired almost 7 years ago  absolute bliss !

Of course I can make coffee and cook and clean and do laundry and pleasure myself too❗But WHY would or should I with her around❓❓❓

 

Enjoy your self-"indulgence". I'll leave mine to the little lady. 

 

555 no, I wipe my own ass, thank you...but there's a thought. TILAC❗🤣

No.  Who will make sure no one steals the sofa.  But joking aside this is up to the individual.  Some have no problem working and keeping busy a few others will be on the phone constantly and expect you to make all the plans.

Mine works with her sisters, baking pasties  that are sent and sold in Bangkok. When not doing that she is in the greenhouse tending the crop.

Are those the things that look like this?     I had something like that in Bangkok a few years ago..  Made by a British guy.  Damn they were good and I miss being able to eat them again!

Off course she works. Hardly see her.

My GF works helping a cousin with a food stall. She says she would be bored if she had nothing to do.

pour man

She has her own business/shop. Good money for a thai.  You wouldn't date/marry an unemployed person back home would you? So why do it here.? 

Mrs M recently celebrated 10 years with her employer, accounting/audit work, and no intention of giving up; good company and colleagues, social life, no thoughts of leaving (healthy bonus system) or stopping work.

She's never been out of work, previously with Viriyah Insurance, before that Procter & Gamble, a solid career progression.

Works well for us.

Just curious as to how many expats have wives/partners who go out to work. Does it bother you that they do, what do you do in their absence, do you feel lonely at all because of it or indeed do you welcome it to have time alone.

My long-time girlfriend has enough work by looking after a grumpy old man like me, so she don't have time to work. She however allows me having plenty of time on my own, so just as good if she was working...

My gf works at home garden everyday. The problem is I'm under surveillance all the time. "No way out" 😆 

fortunately I could get away 2 days ago. In BKK for a week. I feel I'm alive again.🤔😆😂🤣

My wife works, but my partner doesn't. So I spend time with my partner while my wife is at work.

My wife owns 3 stores, a convience store, pet mart and a hardware store. She works a lot - takes up most of her time. But, she makes over 500,000 baht a month. 14 years ago, I financed her to get started with the convience store. Within 2 years she paid me back and went on to open the other 2 stores with her profits. I'm really lucky to have her.

I guess I am hijacking this topic since I am in the west now, but my Thai wife of 20 years is a full-time nurse and brings home the bacon.

Yes she has a job and goes to work or she wouldn't be living with me. Plenty of guys happy to take care of a pretty freeloader that's sits on her phone and watches tv all day...but not me.
