Me and my Thai wife

Post Reply New Topic

From what I understand, its the same here in Mass.. Judges seem to give everything to the women.

Maybe the best solution is to go and live in Thailand, enjoy all the women that you want, and then, if things get rough, just leave the country.

Sources, please? I wonder why it would be different from other states.

Divorce laws vary from state to state, as do marriage laws. I knew a woman who was planning to divorce her hustband, but was contemplating moving to California to file from there, because the divorce laws are so much more favourable to the women.

here is another film that might be worth watching:

If you are familiar with bit torrent, it is available in the usual places.

Thailand is rather safe, except parts of the south because of muslimextremist activity. The women don't think you're weird when you are quiet and like to be alone.

If you go to the main tourist areas (especially the sex-tourist areas), someone is bound to try to hussle you. But, if you just learn how to brush them off, you're fine. Also, if you jump in a taxi without first negotiating the price, you will be hussled then, too. Also, if you are looking for good deals on gold and jewelry, you will probably be cheated, if you have no idea on what you buying.

Actually, the same thing happens in the USA all the time, most commonly when you seek to buy a house or car.

Is it still the weirdo hippie State? You must have a decent marriage contract. I was not naive.

Well, they do keep electing second-rate actors as governor.



Well done!

A lot of girls who work at the bars in hopes of marrying a foreigner seemed quite hard core to me--a nice, quiet one can be wonderful!

I don't go to bars. The women approached me. Just look rich, smartphone, and its done.

Thailand has other violent criminal groups also spilling over the borders in the north. It is part of the golden triangle.

Don't get me wrong I don't think it is that terrible, I have lived in a war zone it was fine. I am saying it is naive to think you are somehow automatically safer in Thailand than the Philippines.

Women might not find you weird in Thailand, if you over them more than they can expect in Thailand. It is all to do with social expectations. In USA for instance. Groups of women (the ones that interest you, as you will ignore then ones that don't despite people claiming not to be picky) have a much different social expectation, and given the opportunity to have a more confident outgoing man, with status they will probably go with that. Simply due to the fact they have that opportunity

That is exactly my point abduction are then unheard of in the tourist areas too. Sometime they keep them locally other time they take them over the borders.

Besides they have coup d'état practically every year these days. Granted most of these are relatively bloodless.

Did you decide to live in Thailand, or to go back to wherever you're from?

You being approached by women in Thailand might bother the wife. And, men approaching your wife in your country might bother you.

I think the video is fascinating. (As are the other videos about Thai relationships on the same site, even when they caused me to wince). I'm very glad I saw it.

And because I know enough couples where one person is North American and the other is Asian, I understand the family responsibilities involved, especially (in my personal knowledge) when it comes to American/Filipino marriages. Taking care of one's parents is an essential duty to most Asians (female or male, doesn't matter), and this is just understood as a fundamental center point of adult children's lives. If someone from North American culture is not agreeable to providing regular monetary support to their in-laws-to-be, then they should not be in a marriage or a committed relationship with the adult offspring involved.

It's the same thing as an American woman marrying a Saudi national and going to Saudi Arabia (or Yemen, Ethiopia, etc.) to live: if you don't want to live under those kinds of realities and restrictions, and you don't want your children (especially your girls) growing up in those kinds of restricted, highly crippling circumstances (which could, according to that family, include routine and expected female genital mutilation), then do not marry that man.

The one comes with the other--in Asia, or the Middle East, or Africa, or wherever else there are substantial and basic conflicting cultural norms between what "we" feel is right and proper and what "they" do.

In the sense that it might break the arrangement. It is not a given that there is going to be any love lost. That is what I mean about being realistic.

If this is what you want go into it eyes open, and don’t get lost in your own fantasy.
