sirchai Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Could you show her something that's one way the other, more important? Do you really communicate with each other? Blame the phone.....- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemac Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 There is one absolutely guaranteed way to retaliate. When she pulls out the phone, you pull out the newspaper. Works a treat.

tw25rw Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Mine gets engrossed in her phone too. Gets annoying when I need her to speak Thai for me and she wants to finish her game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanBBK Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Buy a mobile phone jammer.Worked for me. I was annoyed by the wife constantly calling over dinner and the niece facebooking on her i-thing. Now all is quiet when we eat, and we can talk ....Easier to buy a jammer than trying to discuss the issue.

GrantSmith Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Mine gets engrossed in her phone too. Gets annoying when I need her to speak Thai for me and she wants to finish her game. Likewise, but it's not exclusive to just my wife, it's my entire in-laws that are engrossed with Candy Crush in particular. But at least they want me to be included and continually ask to download and start playing too hahaha... But it would be an exceptionally cold day in hell before that was to happen When I'm not feeling the love, I've since countered the lack of attention by downloading GTA on my iPad, kick arse graphics and sound soon turns the tables...

tropo Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 It usually only happens when the guy isn't interesting enough and there are not many common interests. That is what you get if you go for looks only. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Well, my wife is pretty obsessed with her iPhone (and iPad and MacAir ) .... but really it's about Skype, YM, Whatsap, Tango, Viber, YouTube, Google, a great camera and other exciting apps all at her fingertips rather than an obsession with the device. After being together day and night for nearly 10 years, there's not too much to talk about. I don't have any problems with that. Having a good relationship doesn't necessarily mean having exciting conversations all the time. I don't believe having common interests is all that important in relationships either. I'm not concerned she's not into gym, for example. Your wife works a job and is out of the house much of the time, so it's more important for you to have high quality time together when she gets home and if she was on the phone all the time it would likely be a problem. When I want to chat with my wife I just ask her to put down the phone. The OP is incorrect by assuming that it's an obsession with the phone - it's about having a hi-tech communication device which provides easy contact with all her Thai friends..... I'm sure a Thai girl will feel quite isolated if spending all her time talking with her foreign husband.... she needs Thai social contact and the phone provides this. Having a relationship with a girl who speaks a different language from a totally different culture could be very isolating for her if you are not understanding. . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like she would even notice Like she'd even care - or more to the point, she would prefer he read the newspaper so he can stop bugging her.... Do people still read newspapers these days?

boomerangutang Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Yet another reason why I steer from getting another Thai g.f. If I was 18 years old, I might try getting a Russian g.f. There's a 17 yr. old gal I met (am friends with her Russian mom), who told me she doesn't have email and doesn't care a whit about Facebook. I told her 'yea, baby!'

marquis22 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 " Its just hard because I know that I'm a perfect person and all that..." You can't be too perfect or she would be jealous and put down her phone once in a while...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLock Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 The OP took a bit of a warranted beating and never came back. Beta males always seem to struggle in Thailand. But they make me smile with the situations they get themselves into. I do find them entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsideOut Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Did the OP ever reply to this thread? Or did he get too many honest answers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
