WarpSpeed Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 (edited) Demanding? I wish she was at least a bit more demanding. Even after almost 10 years together, I still need to tell my wife to calm down, and remind her that she is NOT my maid, but in fact my dear wife. She seems to have this buildt in function to make sure Im always 100% ok. She still looks surprised when I do the dishes. She still thank me when I bring out the garbage. I keep telling her not to. She is sorry she can not help out when I make western food, so she hover around me to watch. I want to hire a maid, but she insists taking care of everything. And she does. Her x-husband (Thai) was lazy, hitting her, drinking, and screwing around. I know she is worried I would replace her with a younger woman. I keep telling her that this is not really how it works where Im from, and she should NOT look at all the foreigners here and think that is the rule. Sounds good and like my Mrs. too but I suggest not telling her not to say thank you for doing things it's common courtesy and manners, it's nice to hear as it's said so seldom these days and taken for granted.. I always say please and thank you and insist my children to do so likewise.. Edited July 26, 2011 by WarpSpeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generalizing only starts ugly debates and talking in circles. If you had a bad experience with an ex wife whether western or not does not make it where all other woman on the planet will act the same. My grandmother always told me 'It takes 2 to tango". I realize I had a part in the failure of my marriage but life goes on. We live and learn and attempt to not repeat the mistakes. To the OP, demanding is a harsh term. I would definitely sit with her and understand why you perceive her asking you to do things as demanding. Maybe try and ask her to do things for you. If she says NO, then you have a issue to resolve between the 2 of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerryk Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Asked some Thai people and got the response that 60% of Thai families are controlled by women. That fits my experience. Although you won't get the same response on TV because it is male dominated and I doubt that many men will admit that they are dominated by a female or the few females posting here would not admit they are the dominate party in the relationship. So are Thai women more dominate/demanding than Western women? My feeling is yes but that would change given my personal circumstances. It may be easier to talk about one generation removed. Like my paternal grandfather was the boss and my maternal grandmother was the boss. One house smelled like cigars and kraut and the other like perfume and corned beef and cabbage.
