G54 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I am curious as to how your 'other half' treats you in respect of information. I find it annoying if a g/f tells me an hour before hand that she is going somewhere she knew about a lot earlier. Especially if we have arranged to go somewhere together on that day and time. The question then, relates to :- Your wife / g/f / other, knows she has a prior engagement. This could be a party, dinner, going to mothers, whatever. How much notice does she give you?

tuky Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I find this to actually be a great question. My ex-wife never gave me notice of forthcoming events. I decided it was due to the difficulty she had with speaking English. She has a speech impediment which causes/caused her to have trouble speaking Thai, never mind English. However, even if hounded for an answer regarding today's activities in Thai, I still never received an acceptable answer even when I was one of the main participants. I have often wondered if others experienced the same, or if it was just the ex' excuse for sheer laziness to let me know what her (read 'our') plans are.

sanook2me Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Spot on observation.. While I'm driving not having a clue how to get to the destination, she (wife) is supposed give me directions/information but always after the turning ! then when i complain she says = " you drive like english man not taxi driver, too much story from your mouth! " followed by some unintelligible Thai sentence i guess means "moron t0sser foreigner/farang" and the obligatory thousand yard stare and the silent treatment ahhh time for the radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonthai Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I always have to ask what her plans are for the day - she doesn't talk about them first, just in case I will object. That way she feels she is in controll, but it's impolite and happens I just choose not to go together with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyd Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Thai women only work on a strictly "need to know basis". Did you not read the instructions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khundon Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I didn't know until 2 hours before, that I was getting married. 9 years latter things are no different but I like it that way, it keeps me on the hop and makes life interesting. I never know, in which country, I am likely to sleep in that night. Exciting or what. !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuky Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I didn't know until 2 hours before, that I was getting married. 9 years latter things are no different but I like it that way, it keeps me on the hop and makes life interesting. I never know, in which country, I am likely to sleep in that night. Exciting or what. !! I had a similar experience. We went to the Aussie embassy to find information regarding the citizenship of our then unborn child. 2 hours later I was married, blew right past me. However, it turns out it suited me just fine as I was never one for the big fancy do. Just two people, a JP and a witness will do me, then ending was much much harder . Like you Khundon, Last night I slept in Palembang, tonight I am on a completely different Island (still in indo) but tomorrow could be at the four floors (hopefully not). A life like this does require a little bit of stability even if only from the wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent treatment guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orac Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 My wife rarely gives me information when I need it - yesterday I had an hours notice that we were going to a local concert though she was adamant she had already told me about it but couldn't remember when. A couple of minutes later she told me we had a new house party to go to in May in Pattaya (10 hour drive away) - no doubt the next I will hear of it will be an hour before we are due to leave (or half the family will turn up with bags packed) and it will be my fault that I forgot about it.
