senshusband Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Oh CRAP!!! This thread is being hijacked by pirates!!! Part of life......if you have something good there are always plenty of people around to try and knock it. What they do not realise is that those that are truly happy......just at their attempts.

eurasianthai Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Well, people who are happy do not really need to advertise it. But people who are not, sure need to do it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senshusband Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I find my self with a small surplus of money that I don't know what to do with. Thank goodness for my wife though, she knows EXACTLY what to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Osborne Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 To be fair ... they do make good wives.. Mine gives me breakfast in bed everyday and then goes off working in the rice field. She then cycles back during her lunch break to make some food for me along with a couple of ice cold Chang. Then after a 12 hour day picking rice, she makes me my evening meal and does the house hold chores... Although, I have promised to buy a second-hand Honda wave next year so she doesn't have to cycle everywhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am surprised if you don't have a line of women outside your door begging to take care of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villagefarang Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Not everyone is carrying the baggage of past failed marriages but we do seem to be in the minority. I love my wife because she saved me from my life of debauchery and helped me to become a better man. And what, pray tell, is wrong with a life of debauchery? So far it's been great for me for the past 14 years. Nothing wrong with it per se. If I were in your shoes, no doubt I would live as you do. Fortunately, I am not. My years of debauchery extended for more than 20 but I felt as though I was approaching my sell-by-date. No offense but I dreaded becoming a dirty old man cliché and perhaps falling victim to a young Lothario, like myself. I had a very good run of it while I was young and at my peak. Now I am a happily married man with no desire to be single again or a daddy for that matter. Love and companionship are what I value now. I vote for young and pretty, myself. Never could get next to ugly. That has always been a weakness of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jubby Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Don't knock him. She's obviously a woman who likes a routine. I should have given mine a routine all those years ago. Its much too late to start now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
473geo Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Well, are there rice fields in Pattaya...? About 10-15 kms out, all that cycling keeps her fit Is there not a danger her health will decline if you buy the second hand wave? Better look for an extra job, to fill in her freed up spare time, and replace the beneficial activity of cycling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoastLamb Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I love my Thai wife too, although more important is that fact that she loves me in return, and I know she does. She gave up her job in a bar (not a bargirl though) so that she could spend time with me. Then she moved in with me. Two weeks after I met her I married her, paid the sin sod, and thanked my lucky stars I'd finally found the one. Now we're often together 24 hours a day, eating all the food in the world, drinking, smoking, playing cards. I'm having a blast. The only time we're apart is when she goes out with her platonic farang friends. She stays out all night so she doesn't wake me, and then when she does come back in the morning she always brings me food. The only problem is that I'm running out of money and will have to return to the west soon. I'm not looking forward to telling her, but as she loves me I know she will understand and will wait faithfully for me to return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaimai Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Take a look at how many happy mixed families you see around town. You'll see hundreds of happy Western guys with a Thai woman and a baby but fewer with 5 year olds and fewer still with 10/15/20 year olds as they are usually no longer together and if they are usually not very happy. Pretty much the same in UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much the same in UK. alah.... plse consider another point of view.... young mixed couples (or not mixed couples) usually would take care of babies' needs and disruptive changing demands cooperatively together.... by the time the child is 4 or 5+, the demanding child's interests change to something more human-like.... lol, so, mostly, only one parent would suffice to take care of the child.... taking the child to school, picking up the child.... so on and so forth.... and as the child grows older.... their needs become even more alike with adults.... and each tends to have their own preferred circle of buddies and friends.... to summarily conclude that because of the absence of any one parent in a close family circle..... shows that the family is usually not very happy.... is rather spurious.... don't you think....?

Ijustwannateach Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 ^Among my acquaintances in mixed marriages who have children, the age range is fairly mixed over the number of years they have been in Thailand- admittedly none of them have been here long enough to have college-age children yet.

Now, you may not have noticed but in this charming thread, the general tone appears to be appreciative of the love and support provided by the Thai wives........if you and your friends are not experiencing this aspect of Thailand......I understand your frustrations....but as the topic title includes.....not all bad....and this little topic is just a small amount of irrefutable evidence that you and a couple of others appear not to be able to stomach. That being the case I suggest (as one other TV poster put it in another thread) you go chew on another bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanForbes Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I still fail to see why any of the negative comments would matter in this discussion. If a man loves his wife and his wife loves her husband then nothing else matters. It doesn't really matter how long their marriage remains happy... except to the couple. Some marriages end in tragedy, some end in divorce and others carry on with very little love between the couples at all. That doesn't deter from the fact that many couples remain happily in love until one or the other passes on. I had 20 good years with my first wife and yet never really loved her. Maybe that's the reason why she had the affair that ended our marriage. I loved my second wife as much as anyone could love another, but that marriage lasted only 5 years because my wife couldn't handle the fact that her son was a druggy. No matter, I had 5 good years with the lady before things started going sour. I wouldn't trade those 5 great years for anything. And, I wouldn't trade the 20 years I had with my first wife either. Statistics don't mean a thing. You could have one foot in boiling water and one foot in ice water and the averages would say you should be comfortable. Everone can want something different out of a marriage and who are anyone else to judge what makes others happy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And start counting. Ooops what did I just ask? Obviously, counting and statistics have never been your favourite subjects... By the way, is 15 a magic number?
