I married my wife because I love her.

+l

did market trader know this?....

I dont mind letting the wife have these things now and again,it usually means i can carry on with work,beer after work and coming home with another retro motorbike when i find one

.....here's another one who lets his wife wear the trousers

It means im happy to take care of her when she would like things now and again.She does also wear trousers but we have got more than one pair in our house.

If she wants one, she can go get one but she has as much chance of me going to buy one with her as I have of her coming to the tool shop to buy some hardware with me.

Rule 1

Don't go shopping with your wife/gf.

Rule 2

Don't give your wife/gf money, let her spend what she earns.

Rule 3

Don't consort with a woman you have to pay to be with you, unless you are very rich.

If most old farangs took note of this they would be a lot better off.Why would you want to pay someone to be with you,that is sad.

+1

Agreed. I have never understood why older farang men in Thailand pay women to be with them. Some even put their wives/g/f's, whatever...on salary. And the endless gifts? They would not do that in their home countries; why here?

Because an old guy will never be called a hansum man by a 19 year old back home.
