    If my wife left me, I would go back to the real world. Thailand would be flushed down the toilet where it really belongs.

    I have just returned to Thailand after traveling thousands of KLM around India, my 4TH time there.

    I must say it was a happy day when I arrived back in Bangkok, the secret to this place is to leave it for a while and then one will be very happy to get back.

    One can bash those Indian curry's straight up one's arse, the Thai green curry on the plane tasted like heaven.

    Thanks for the Op Nige.

    As some have said once you achieve the inner contentment most of these irritations become insignificant.

    The gas bottle issue you dealt with expertly and as another posters car usage stopped once the realisation of having to contribute sank in.

    You have gained another family here in Thailand and if yours is anything like my new family they will indeed give you the skin off their back if needed.

    Just look at your shoe collection and then look at their flipflops.
    A tray full of GOLD is not worth a moment in time.

    Just sitting back in my little piece of heaven. Most of the things I used to worry about dont seem too relevant now. Life's a smoothie served by up your partner in life.
    Glad to see your building threads, the new home looks good.

    Thanks for that Terry,it brought back memories of sitting with My Thai BIL and he had been on a business trip to India,and I enjoyed so much his tales of how dirty India was. Thats all he wanted to talk about,and it was so funny listening to a Thai describe India.
    I didnt have the heart to tell him that I thought Thailand was dirty.

    Day 70 after divorce. I am not going to lie, it has been very lonely and depression has set in many a time. I am determined not to go down the road of whores, booze and cocaine and my radiohead collection has been locked up in my safe, don't want any accidents now lol Had 6 dates, mostly set up by my friends, utterly pathetic women, very worried now that I would probably have been better off with the ex and just stuck it out and maybe been a bit more naughty behind her back.

    On a bright note, my back swing has improved, I am getting pretty good at pool again and I can go to bed when the fuck I want to.

    I really actually think I am going to stick it out on my own for a year and get used to and liking being on my own. Good advice whoever it was !

    I took the kids down to the local swimming pool, I have a beer there and a chat with Swiss guy who runs the concession.

    Passes the time and the kids get some exercise.
    I usually have a beer and order some food, which his wife makes.
    I said to the guy who runs the concession, how goes it?

    Well, not good! It seems his wife ran away with another country man some months ago, so no food.
    The guy seemed fairly Blase about his loss.
    There can’t be good living where there is not good drinking

    Mate seriously, Thailand is spotless compared to India.

    There are 1.2 billion punters over there and there is shit from one end of the country to the other. They just throw their shit in the street.

    Nothing has changed though from my first trip in 89 except its far worse.

    You will see the real deal in my picture thread.

    Mate, you really need to take your time being on your own and being happy with your self. Take advantage of being single and go do stuff that you want to do, be friggin totally selfish for a while, ain't nothing wrong with that, its your life.

    Once your happy in your own skin you can think about getting a partner again but its you who will make you happy.

    Way to many punters rely on their partners for their self worth and happiness.

    This group fall at the first hurdle when finding themselves alone.

    We are always alone in a way.

    ^ Indeed. The word 'alone' derives from 'all one'. Good to be single to get to know yourself...

    Emotional reliance on a partner comes from deep personal insecurities we all have to varying extents.

    tx mate, I think you are right. There are a lot of things I have wanted to do and go and see. Starting with Tokyo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    One thing I have been doing is just buying loads and loads of music and just listening to it, great passer of time.

    Some people are just happy to be single and have in and out relationships , my own brother springs to mind , the moment the M word was mentioned , he was off.

    Very different to me , dunno if its cause I,m a Taurus , but I love routine and stability, I also like to provide and look after my wife.

    However it dosent make me dependent on her or her on me , we both domour share of cooking , cleaning , laundry etc , its just knowing for me I,m not going back to an empty house , and at the end of the day a little warm hand comes over my back and gives md a cuddle .
    I'm proud of my 38" waist , also proud I have never done drugs
