Why does nobody question the western LTR relationship fantasy?

Yes, in YOUR opinion, which is exactly that, you don't care about hurting someone's feelings with a blatant lie, as you did with me....You have a creepy mind set......😒

And you have a mental illness mindset.

 nor taking your non-Western spouse back to your home country to learn how to be a Western woman.

This rarely ends up good, you put a Thai girl being one of the only ones in basically a city with tons of even 'nicer farangs' that all seem to earn decently. Then the first little bottleneck on the road will make het cheat, I guess that is why it happens in the west in general all the time. People divorce for peanuts. In TH people not have that luxury hence even if there is cheating happening they do stick together as family units.

 

A few I know that moved them abroad lost them within years, even it was mostly illogical naive thinking of that girl to then have the exact same issues and complaints with the new guy, they do do it and then there is no return. Like the grass is always greener on the other side logic.

 

The western guys there see it as a lottery ticket of course, someone was stupid enough to bring a hot Asian girl who is not too feminist over. Would be no different for a latino dude showing up in Europe, rare to see = tons of attention and interest. Same we are that here + our moneys.

Just a thought, I notice all the negatives against Thai / foreigner relationships are throw at the Thai, usually females mentioned.   Whether working gal, village gal, neither gal, here or if returned to home country, they up & leave, with take whatever they can from the foreigner.  Probably well deserved for putting up with some of the mutts.

 

Maybe, just maybe, and especially since one didn't have success with partners before and after arriving TH, the males are the problem.   Especially the oh so faithful ones, that love to tell us how they cheat on their partners.   Have obvious drinking problems, and let their bodies go to sh!t, if not that way to begin with.

 

Yea, you're a real prize to keep, especially when your BS & money runs out :cheesy:

 

I've observed lots of relationships, self included, and it's not always the woman / partner that is the problem.

 

Finding someone that is like minded, with same dreams, thought, future living expectations is hard enough.  Expecting that to last, as we age and change from first meeting or 5 -10 years in, is a roll of the dice.  And the way some sabotage themselves, it's no surprise they can't seem to remain in LTR.

Off topic,

Every adult Thai I have encountered, male or female has sex with multiple partners.

It doesn't seem that big a deal, and they mostly stay together.

 

Once her three brothers wanted to take me out to explore the Thai side of naughty night life. I said, I can't because of you sister. Their reply, you don't tell our wives, and we won't tell our sister.

Maybe a cultural thing in TH, as if lead by example, top down, yes, it does seem to be accepted.  Also back in home country, as know a few relationships that survived.

 

But that's not the way my mother raised me, and certainly wouldn't be acceptable to my wife.  That's what friends w/ bennies are for.   Those times in between relationships, or after a night out and no takers, you can always rely on that like minded friend.  Or simply start the evening with your friend.  Plenty of those in my world, and no need to cheat on a partner ... ever.

 

Trust is one's most valuable asset, lose that, yours or partners, and you are forever lost ... IMHO

that was years back before COVID, too old for all that nonsense now.

I'm either at home or out cycling 

We are evolved apes, a small number of humans think reflectively and try to transcend their evolutionary biology. Personally I've never met a woman who has ever attempted it.

 

Without thought and sacrifice humans are animals. Men seed sprayers, women resource extractors. Love a fiction used to virtue signal "hey I'm not acting selfishly"

Good thing this is not real life, could had been challenging living in such reality. 

 

And when it comes to drugs, I think there is others than me who should cut back or find better quality. For moist sane, the best thing would be to quit to forum and never come back, but seems the solution is to just start a new nick and continue where they left with the same battles and dirty contributions. 

 

 


You should up the dose.   First you derogatorily tell someone they should be on lithium….and then you cop to it yourself.

 

Memory problems now?  Brain fog?   Could it be the Covid vax?

 

Weirdest dude on AseanNow.

And had to travel to Pattaya before you found any woman that would agree to be with you.

Where you used your western financial advantage to leverage a much younger and desperate Thai single mom into your bed.

 

Same as the rest of us.


I think he found a dude….or a ladyboy.  He uses the word “partner”

 

But that’s ok.   I’m not into stinky rectum myself but who am I to tell someone what tastes good and what doesn’t.

And you are stupid enough to not research what lithium orotate is 😉 

 

It is not a drug, but a innocent supplement, and not anything close to lithium prescription medication. 

 

The laugh is on me

Interesting to see he's an alcoholic lithium user

I love how he claims I have a multiple accounts.   He’s becoming paranoid.

 

I’m just waiting to add him to my “list of former prolific poster who are no longer with us”.

 

Speaking of cannabis…..you should see what I’m getting in Las Vegas.   Really nice.

How do you expect it to play out?

You will wear him down until he quits? 

 

Thing is Thais get divorced about as often as Westerners (on average, maybe more - as many don't 'sign the book').

As for divorce in general - and what drives at least part of it? I guess it ain't called 'the seven year itch' for nothing.

You got shafted and you will die single. Deal with it and stop projecting. It's not a good look.

We all die alone.

LTR in the west aren't a fantasy and my parents definitely have had a good run.  So have most their friends. 

 

It's you Britman as well as me and  probably many here in Thailand .  I never got screwed over by a western woman but never was interested much in putting myself in a position to get screwed.    I  slept with the ones that I found attractive when the opportunities arose and only once  lived with a woman.     Sounds shallow but I found most women in America quite boring.

 

I'm here because I don't have to play the western LTR game. Funny, playing the game here now for the last 6 years and it is going great but only because I was in the right place and was on a lucky streak. By the time the streak probably ended I realised I liked hanging with her and decided I would never lie to her and see where the relationship takes us both.  I  had to drop most of the things I did on a regular basis to keep the no lie promise I made to myself.

True, but enduring your final days, months or years in poor health without a partner can be depressing I assume.    Most relationships here seem to be wanting but probably better than withering away alone. 

 

Many options here to play hard while it is better than settling down with a good woman.  It helps to be  lucky and  as thoughtful as possible about your choices befores the  decision to partner up.  The best part is that it is much easier in Thailand  to walk away from poor choices gracefully or battered and bruised.

This is where people differ. When I'm not feeling well I want to be left alone.

Different times, different laws.

Thailand still uses the laws our countries used to have.

Well I married a Thai girl in US after my discharge from USAF and 19 months in Thailand, prior to her I was a cuddly little dude and dated a lot of ladies in US as well as Thailand. I wasn't the hayseed GI who never had a girlfriend in USA then got lucky in Thailand and married the first lady he found. Anyhow dumb luck or whatever but we'll be officially married 50 yrs in 5 months.  I spent 43 yrs of that traveling repairing drilling rigs in some really uncool places for extended periods of time. She took care of the home, kids and all the finances no mobile banking back then.  I know very few women that could handle that no matter where they from.  Anyhow she's 71 an I'm 73 now so I guess we both chose wisely. Retired here 6 yrs ago and buddy that chick still gets my motor running...

But sadly off topic, as this thread is about the failures of LTRs in the western world 

Pretty much any reasonable guy can manage a lifetime relationship in Thailand.
