Thread: Living O/S with a Thai wife.

Can we please stop quoting that picture.

Can somebody enlighten me what does "O/S" stand for? (for all the people commenting it's no problem?)
By googling:

Acronym	Definition
O/S	Operating System
O/S	Outside
O/S	One Size
O/S	on sale
O/S	Offset
O/S	Overseas
O/S	Outstanding (unpaid insurance claim)
O/S	Out of State
O/S	Oversize (Canada Post)
O/S	On Scene
O/S	Outstanding Shares (stock market)
O/S	Operational/Support
O/S	Outstation
O/S	Ocean Surveillance
O/S	Outlaw Shark
O/S	Organisation/Schmelt (Germany/Poland)

^ I'm guessing overseas.

Very soon to be changed to "Living O-N with Thai Wife"

On Noodles.

Sado-masochism among Asians seems to be almost the lingua franca of their personal relationships.

Just a thought really. Nietzsche considered that women were at best cows and should only be approached with a whip in one hand but then, he was fucking insane.

I was with you in your previous effort up until the wifebeating... and then you top it off by reaching down into bestiality and and an invocation of the sauciest slice of German militarist intellectual porn which you quickly hedge against at the end - 'cos you know what you're playing with... almost like you went into Marks & Spencers with your missus, quietly slid a wonderbra into your pocket, and when she was off in the changing rooms, you quickly sneak into a cubicle yourself to nervously try it on... and then later on at the checkout, make some withering comment about trannies to try and purge the guilt and shame off your withered body.

but then again, addressing raised issues has never been your forte has it.

I've been offering constructive, on topic input.

You've been a total bell end.

Something which is very much your forte.

Because I find ethnic and gender stereotyping selectively unacceptable.

Are you as much of a secret Nietzche fanboy as SA then?

Thai women have an odd attitude to sharing expenses. My wife and I both work here in Oz, but it took a long time for me to wean her off being dependent on me financially. I supported her for the first 2 1/2 years while she went to college and then got work. I paid all bills and rent. Following that, I paid for her public transport card and mobile phone bills. They were not much but I felt "used", paying them after she got a job, so I asked that she pay with her own credit card. There was a bit of resistance but not too much. We go 50/50 on electricity.

Then I broached the topic of rent. We were sharing it 60/40. But here there was massive resistance and she says that "the husband should support his wife". Well, we have no kids and don't plan on them, and I kinda understand her logic, but because I pay other expenses, such as all petrol and car expenses as well as being her chauffeur, she has managed to save more money than myself. Twice as much, in fact.

Now I have lost my job.

This irks me. It feels too much like that scenario ....which we all know so well.....in which finances are slowly re-distributed from the Western man to the Thai woman and/or her family (in this case she does send a small amount home, but not a real lot).

I read a book many years ago entitled something like "Thai Culture And Behaviour Patterns" (or something very close to that), in which the author recommends that a Western person never allow a Thai person to be in control of the relationship....whatever kind of relationship it is.

So maybe I should not push my luck too much ? Maybe if I pay more rent than her (despite not having a large income till I get another job), I am in the role of "patron", as seen in Thai culture, which is something she is comfortable with ?

Any comments or suggestions, anyone ?

Only
I wear the pants in my family. She just tells what colour pants to wear.. only joking. But there is a myth that asian wife is subservient. Total bollocks (( i wish) in my relationship decisions are disc
Ussed and then we reach an agreement. Or not. But i doubt its any different between farang marriage. Yes i do have more freedom living in asia but the bottom line seems to she respects the famy unit as do I. So far so good . Ive never tried to take here to live in oz. She been for holidays several times but i doubt she would integrate becauase she so close to her family here. Thats ok.but yes. Im the houna so i pay all bills. It is how it is. Very thought provoking post by tbe way. Cheers
