david96 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Why are Thai wives insanely jealous of an ex wife? Heard this the other day, wife keeps on claiming that ex wife contacts him by phone and visits him while she is at work, claims he gives her money and wants to return to her. He has been divorced 6 years and has not seen his ex wife for more than 2 years and he has only seen her in public, not to speak to. Her Thai friends do not help and spread gossip and rumour, she believes them and not her husband. It is affecting his marriage and it now occurs every second day or so. He has been told by some of his friends to get rid of her as soon as possible. He is getting to the stage where he may snap as everyone has a breaking point. She has been at him for the last 2 years. Seems to be something to do with a Thai womans thinking process, it is quite common I believe. She does not understand the seriousness of the problem.

jackr Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Sounds like a touch of insecurity and selfishness to me. If it's getting him down and she believes everything her friends say over him (which they have a habit of doing), then I'd be calling it a day if kids weren't involved.

david96 Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 I think he hopes she will leave him shortly, he has to be careful otherwise there could be a DV issue. He has made statements to his solicitor on the matter as what has been said by the Thais border on slander. And here is another one! Thai wife goes to Thailand from Australia to visit family for 1 month, goes to a fortune teller at a Wat and is informed that her husband is having an affair with a young girl.( A Japanese exchange student was staying with them). Comes back from Thailand and accuses him of it, and has a go with him with a knife. All the time is is innocent, lucky there was no damage. They are still together but only just. Seems to me that Thai women have a real problem. The minor wife syndrome perhaps? Where he lives all the Thai women fight amongst themselves and none can be trusted to keep their mouth shut.

jpolten Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 What i would do is confront the friends in front of the wife.....be nice but firm.......explain the situation and that its hurting the relationship! Another question would be....have her friends an agenda?....why are they making matters worse for their friend? Or maybe her friends see something you and his wife don't......is he being a good boy?

Gary A Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 It took me ten years in Thailand to find a good wife. My experiences tell me that the two fatal flaws in a partner are gambling and jealously. Those flaws are worse than drugs and they don't/can't change. You may think that jealousy is cute but it smothers you after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough said. Same in the UK,we were there for 4 years ..when thai women get together all they do is try to out do each other with a show of material wealth, or start a gambling school, my wife didnt mix with any, but our friends had some serious problems to the extent where at least one wife was stealing off her husband to gamble,.

LivinLOS Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 And jealousy is somehow a Thai-only characteristic? No but the intensity is on another level here than other cross cultural relationships I had.. The fact that their financial security often comes from you alone, the fact that finding another woman (quality variable I admit) is as easy as falling over, the fact that after a certain age their chances of meeting another farang or even Thai guy are slim, all leads to a long fall from grace that can happen to the Mia Farang who breaks up.

I cannot agree that they are "nearly all from the industry" My GF (and never been in the industry) is always going on about my Thai wife even though I haven't seen her for more than five years. All this bullshyt such as "yes I stay with you but she stay in your heart" Take a look at this link http://www.chiangmainews.com/ecmn/viewfa.php?id=2586 it explains a lot about the psyche of Thai women. Obsessive jealousy bordering on paranoia is very hard to live with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I have to respectfully disagree (not with your personal experiences, but as a general statement on Thais). I have seen egregious cases of jealousy in many places in which I have lived or stayed and from many demographic groups, to include Korea, the US, Mexico, Nigeria, Canada, the Philippines, Russia, Columbia, Brazil, Jamaica, and Spain. In Korea, in fact, I have seen insanely violent domestic rows caused by jealousy. And I personally knew a woman murdered in Russia by her jealous husband. Jealousy is a common human characteristic, and I really don't think it is restricted to Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUDAS Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 And jealousy is somehow a Thai-only characteristic? Absolutely not. The most possessive and actually dangerous female I knew was in the UK. Attractive, intelligent and quite capable of attacking anyone she felt was a threat to here relationship. Was relieved to get out of that one, and have never met behavior in a female which comes close to that here in Thailand. Not bashing UK women in any way, just trying to balance this thread out a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
givenall Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Re-locate,seperate or put up with the nightmare. Absolutely do not put up with this crap. Setup certain rules and make sure your family comes first, including your kids from previous marriage. And also let her know you can help your ex if you want and is really not her place to tell you what to do Do not let her know how much money you really have since it is really about money and she thinks she own everything you have. This are some of reason why you probably are divorces and you need to set up proper setting for you life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G54 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 And in the background there could well be the schemers stirring the sh*t for their own reasons such as jealousy. They could well be jealous of this relationship and doing their best to undermine it. Yes, there could be something going on that others see. Thailand is a great place for schemers and gossips who love nothing better than to cause problems and then sit back and watch the ?fun? develop.
