Korsow Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Yesterday had an arguement about money. I'm busy paying off a 40k euro loan from the bank and I'm worried about our finances. I tell her to try to save money because of the economic conditions and she gets angry because she can't buy her pair of Gucci sunglasses for 230 euro. Talk about short sighted... like someone said: If they can't eat it or can't buy it, they don't understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OriginalPoster Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 My wife's has this annoying habit of leaving the kitchen. Agreed on that. Women should be barefoot and pregnant, otherwise what's the point? Might as well shack up with a guy if you're going to let her out of the kitchen and wear clothes.

OriginalPoster Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) Yesterday had an arguement about money. I'm busy paying off a 40k euro loan from the bank and I'm worried about our finances.

Talk about short sighted... like someone said: If they can't eat it or can't buy it, they don't understand it. We've had similar arguments about money. Usually it ends in both of us agreeing that we like to buy good things instead of crappy things, and with us getting into a spending contest with each other.

thaibeachlovers Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Everytime I need her to help me with something she's invariably having a very long telephone conversation ( she must be psychic because if I don't need her to help me she's always under my feet and demanding my attention ).

Atmos Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 had to think about this, and I have one - very minor but the best i can do reluctance to wear wet weather gear when we're on the motorbike. I say it looks like rain soon and put coat etc on, she says maybe it won't. 10 min later we'll be stopped roadside while she puts her coat on. Only occasionally I'll say "I told you so" - but occasionally I am wrong . . . and get it back. After all, what could be more humiliating than being seen in a raincoat when it's not raining?

OriginalPoster Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I have no doubt that my habits are at least as annoying as hers. I wonder how this thread would look like if it was posted by a Thai woman on a Thai language forum and the original post said something to the effect of "what habits of your farang husband bothers you the most?" I'm going to guess that most of us aren't lily white when viewed through Thai eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaddeus Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 After all, what could be more humiliating than being seen in a raincoat when it's not raining? Being naked in the hotel lobby when you have locked yourself out of your room because you went to get some ice from the machine at the end of the corridor, just as a party of Japanese tourists are booking in. You did ask. (it wasn't me, it was a friend) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChangMaiSausage Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Could be applied Fable of the hedgehog It was the coldest winter ever. Many animals died because of the cold. The hedgehogs, realizing the situation, decided to group together to keep warm. This way they covered and protected themselves; but the quills of each one wounded their closest companions. After awhile, they decided to distance themselves one from the other and they began to die, alone and frozen. So they had to make a choice: either accept the quills of their companions or disappear from the Earth. Wisely, they decided to go back to being together. They learned to live with the little wounds caused by the close relationship with their companions in order to receive the warmth that came from the others. This way they were able to survive. Moral of the story: The best relationship is not the one that brings together perfect people, but when each individual learns to live with the imperfections of others and can admire the other person's good qualities.

MrJohnson Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Sorry I haven't posted for a few days. Another of the many annoying habits of the wife. She springs one of those surprise weekends away on me. Arrives with the hire car and driver and whisks me away for a weekend of leisure, fine dining, big sleep-ins, champagne sunsets and so on. I really don't know how much more I can take. Please, give me some advice. Should I file for divorce now or wait until I'm really at my wits end. I must admit I'm getting pretty close. I mean, I really empathize with many of the other posters but really...my situation is truly awful. heeeeeeeeeeeelp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
