Popular Post Conan The Barbarian Posted June 20 Popular Post Share Posted June 20 Sitting alone in my quiet flat in Manchester, the silence is only broken by the ticking clock on the wall. At 53, life had taken an unexpected turn. My wife of thirty years left me for another man, leaving me heartbroken and lost. The divorce was quick, and suddenly I found myself drowning in loneliness, trying to navigate a world that felt alien. One restless evening, flipping through channels, a documentary about Thailand caught my eye. The vibrant scenes of markets, beaches, and bustling cities sparked something in me. On a whim, I booked a ticket. Thailand seemed like a place for a fresh start, a chance to find myself again. Touching down in Bangkok, the warm, humid air enveloped me like a promise of change. The city's energy awakened something dormant within. A week into my trip, I met Apple. She worked at a beachside bar in Phuket—radiant, with a smile that lit up the room. Apple was in her mid-thirties, stunningly beautiful, and unexpectedly caring. In her company, I felt valued and alive in ways I hadn't in years. We explored nearby islands, shared meals under starlit skies, and had conversations that spanned our different lives. Apple's warmth and affection revitalized me, yet doubts lingered. Was I being naive, chasing a fleeting connection with someone much younger? Was this just a way to escape my pain, or could it be the start of something real? Reflecting on my journey, I turn to you for advice. How did you embrace change after unexpected upheaval? Your insights and experiences would mean a lot as I navigate this unfamiliar, yet promising, chapter in life. 6 3 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ungrateful slut did you a favor by the sound of it. Apple is not much younger than you, is about right for Thailand. Take care of her and if you have kids with the UK wife make sure little Apple dresses sexily at your kids weddings, etc. Did you know the bloke she ran off with? 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marry her! She is obviously your destiny. And just in case you think that maybe you should think again, then read Private Dancer by Stephen Leather. You can buy it in bookshops and even download it for free. It will open your eyes. Enjoy! Edited June 20 by OneMoreFarang 1 1 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdemundo Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Have fun with Apple but don't over invest emotionally or financially. There will be others, don't worry. Nothing wrong with a love affair (or whatever it is) not lasting forever. And remember this Bruce Springsteen lyric: "It’s just nobody knows, honey, where love goes But when it goes it’s gone, gone…" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post johnnybangkok Posted June 20 Popular Post Share Posted June 20 Very eloquently put and don't be too put off by the naysayers. Thailand offers many great opportunities of which beautiful, younger ladies are just one. Just go with the flow but keep an eye on your bank balance and for gods sake don't go buying land for her or buffaloes for her 'sick' mother. There's a lot of genuine Thai/Western relationships to be had (I will testify to having one) but you do have to keep your wits about you for the gold-diggers. Either way, it all still beats the cr@p out of a wet and windy day in Manchester. Enjoy the adventure! 2 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
