That wonderful Thai wife

[wuron]

I have read so many heart-warming stories on here about that wonderful Thai wife. Your best friend in the world, always there for you, always got your back.
So I have been thinking about maybe trading my old clunker in for a new model.This old clunker, things are starting to sag, and it is not as tight as it used to be.But I have a few questions about the "best friend model". My first question would be..how much did you pay for her? And did she come with any accessories? You know, large family, sick mother. But I guess the most important question might be, did she come with any kind of warranty? If thing don't work out, can you get your money back?
This is Thailand. You get what you pay for. Maybe I will have to keep the old clunker and just rent the "best friend model" for short rides.

Shitty love life eh?

Probably cost you much less to get a new Thai partner than the Settlement amount the courts will award your current wife if you choose to piss her off.

I make some hostile comments about women myself, but I hope you are dumping your wife for a much better reason than the fact she is showing her age.

Good luck finding a Thai wife, there are many success stories, but often the extended family sees you as their new source of income and most demand that you support at least their parents. It's also one thing to have temporary female visitor to your home, but living permanently or long term with someone who cannot carry on an intelligent conversation (because of the language) is not my idea of fun, I have my dogs for that.

Good luck to you.

If you're not happy, get shot of her. You might wanna think about moving to a different part of Thailand too, if you value your meat and 2 veg

It's obvious you have some problems. And I am sure most if not all of us on here have had problems with our Thai wife or girlfriend.
Yes by all means try to talk it out. But again like most of us on here will agree honesty is not their strong suit. In your other post you thought she might be cheating. I cannot tell you if she is. But by the way you made it sound something's were not adding up. So you can put up with what's going on or move on. And when you have moved on get a new model. Don't invest everything in it. Because the returns always look promising, but most of the time they fall short. I know it sucks I have been through it. Good luck

I don't want to come off as smug or anything, but I've never married and I'm close to 60. It just never seemed like that great of a deal. I've had a long term live-in girlfriend and can definitely understand the appeal of having that close companionship. I was never legally bound to my woman, though. Thai women are notoriously dfifficult to kick to the curb. She might even kill you. Be careful how you handle it...no loss of face,etc.

Your dog looks pretty

Thank you, that is my boy Moo. I have heard many people say that street dogs are ugly. Not if they are healthy and well cared for.
The post is just a joke. Yes my love life sucks, but I try to keep a sense of humor about it.

I have to say in Thailand if you marry you really better understand the fine print part about "Until death do us part". As my time rolls on here it appears that woman stand to lose a lot more then just face if the foreigner man leaves. They lose the ATM which is probably far more important then the relationship failing. Some clearly took one for the team in marrying a foreigner so the family could live a better life and then the money leaves like you turned off a water faucet.

Regardless women are women all over the world. I do not care how pretty, sexy, gorgeous, loving and caring they start out being, eventually the women deal kicks in. At some point they all behave the same. I have witnessed it first hand with friends and even my GF at times. I am not doing that deal again. Date...Live together....nooo problem. Marry..Not gonna happen and especially here.

To the OP; Just remember trading her in as stated only means you start the program over. New family and a new set of bank acct numbers to remember and a new set of hands to pass off your wallet too . I have to believe that a good portion of Thai/Foreigner relationships here are always under a descent level of stress due to cultural/communication issues, expectations, the foreigner trying to acclimate to life here, the constant Visa check ins, and the wife making virtually all the decisions.

I personally struggle with the entire "after you meet the family" expectations. Its amazing how radically things change. Just because I met them does not mean I should have to marry her and yet that is the pressure here. What if the dad is a friggen drunk, the Mom a meddling control freak, the nephews meth heads and more unnerving is the expectation I will immediately take on a family and care for them? I have told my GF I do not want to meet her family if it means I am committing anything other then saying "Hello" and maybe buying dinner. Thus far I have only met a few of her friends/colleagues and I like it that way. She doesn't, but I do.

Your attitude sucks more than your love life. Life is never a bowl of cherries everyday and continually wishing for something you don't have is your own downfall. Be happy with the choice You made and be a man and make it work. Too many of these crying Joe stories lately and I bet if you catagorized the wives by location, we would find a common denominator for those that are happy versus those that are not. Too many people think this is all a result of Thai girls when it fact, there are problems with women of every nationality if you make poor decisions and don't honor your comittments. I know many, many happy men here that have been married for years and years and years.

That is not Thai Moo. It is English because he looks like a cow.

Thanks for reading.

IYour best friend in the world,

Yes, she is.

always there for you, always got your back.

Yes, she does.

So I have been thinking about maybe trading my old clunker in for a new model.

Maybe she is thinking of trading you in too.

This old clunker, things are starting to sag, and it is not as tight as it used to be.

Are you sagging? Tight as you used to be? "ard as you used to be? Are you built like some Greek god?

But I have a few questions about the "best friend model".

If you have never had a best friend in a wife, then I bet you do have have a lot of questions.

My first question would be..how much did you pay for her?

Nothing. That my friend is your biggest problem.

And did she come with any accessories? You know, large family, sick mother.

Nope.

But I guess the most important question might be, did she come with any kind of warranty?

Are you talking about a wife or a vacuum sweeper????

If thing don't work out, can you get your money back?

We both invest in the relationship. She makes money, I make money. We both spend it and save it. So what money should I get back?

This is Thailand. You get what you pay for.

If you are in the habit of going for women that get paid for relationships, rent wives, sex etc., then you arrive at said dilemma. I find it interesting that men think a relationship birthed on sex and money will morph into something entirely different later on. Did you really expect true love and bliss?

Maybe I will have to keep the old clunker and just rent the "best friend model" for short rides.

With that attitude, maybe karma is biting you in the butt.

If someone is looking for love in Thailand, then stay out of the beer bars, short time / long time establishments, the BJ bars, Nana etc. Find an educated lady that has traveled abroad before and has some sort of world view besides a village in the jungle. Make sure she speaks decent English, has a business mind, is neat and clean, can cook, makes you number 1 and not the family and NEVER wants to be paid for anything - marriage, companionship etc. I would also stray far from a girl that smokes, drinks and gambles - those all recipes for a Thailand wreck! Find one that understands that you have a culture and country too and that although her's is important, it is no more or less important than yours. There needs to be a meeting in the middle on culture, country and traditions. One thing that I hate is to hear of a Thai women that will absolutely refuse to try anything Western - especially food! Mrs. Chi has tried and regularly eats everything from an English breakie, to pizza, to cuisines such as French, Italian, German, American, Brazilian, Mexican etc. Once she tries it, she loves to find a recipe and tries to cook it herself. On our most recent trip, she enjoyed Oysters Rockefeller, grits, Cajun food, ocean perch and thoroughly enjoyed all of it and a whole lot more.

Another important attribute is the ability to plan ahead and think of the future more than just what noodle stand she plans to eat at that night.

After you sort that all out, then date for 18 to 24 months or longer and watch for littler headaches. Little headaches before marriage will turn to major ones after the ceremony. If you marry a Thai, Korean, Mexican or farang, there are no guarantees. There are no guarantees with anything in life and anyone that thinks so is a childish preemie.

On a side note, I find that there are lot of farangs that are rude, lord over their wives like a father or drill sergeant demanding perfection 24 / 7 and are just PLAIN MEAN. These same farangs spend a majority of the day drunk, complaining, criticizing, and hanging out like a teenager when they are in their 50 or 60's or older. These kind of farangs treat their wives at best like a remedial toddler and at worst like a soi dog. All the while, they openly whore about town with any lady that will get it on for 500 baht (or a bag of Jasmine rice as I saw someone post here once). They are never home, they are not there for their wife and they really do not care about her....until the Thai wife runs away from him. Then she is a gold digger, a whore, a cnut, a scammer on and on and on and on.

I have no sympathy for these kinds of farangs.
