bibblies Posted August 29, 2002 Report Share Posted August 29, 2002 "Also Thai girls are not nearly as adaptable as other nationalities" Oh, I don't know. You can flip them over pretty easily, they're fairly bendy and they've got the same number of orifices as any other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibblies Posted August 29, 2002 Report Share Posted August 29, 2002 "Haven't received to many posts answering the original question. Just as a reminder, what do you do in a LT relationship is the sex is not as good anymore, but the level of conversation and common interests are so limited that there is not much alternative to sex." Ironically, lazyphil answered this as clearly as it is possible to do in the post that preceeded this. It's perfectly clear. Couples do simple human things together. No rocket science involved. I don't get why you can't understand this. Most couples don't feel bad if they don't spend a lot of their time together discussing the finer points of science, economics or literature. If you do, then you're the odd one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would happen in the next fifteen years when the baby has grown up and left the house? Now there would be only him and his ex-bg wife. Assuming that they still live together after fifteen years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know what they'll be doing then, do you BKKshaggy. Honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasmine Posted August 30, 2002 Report Share Posted August 30, 2002 Hello, I used to wonder how a lot of Western men who married Thai women who appear to have limited understanding of the husband?s language can cope and do well and happy together. I have found that there are many ways to communicate, especially if ones are willing to accommodate. Lust and sex start with any relationship no matter what nationality. What keeps a relationship going is beyond that and we should be thankful for it. I think what keeps a relationship is the growth a couple shares with each other and it can be common interest, intellects and supplemental and complimental needs. Depending on what life stage the couple is in, if the partners can supplement and compliment the needs, ones are happy. I commute on a MARC (Maryland Transportation) train 2.5 hrs. one way to work everyday. Just yesterday I went to sit next to a Phillipino lady and had a great conversation on relationship. I usually sit with my husband, but not all the time. This lady is married to an American who is 17 years younger (I would not dare) and at this stage of her life, she does not care for the needs and responsibilities that the young husband has with his children from the previous marriage. But because of the love, and many sacrifices they make, the marriage is working. Further more, they both respect each other differences. I met a couple, he is a German and she was from a slum in Bangkok who barely could communicate. This woman was the best cook I have ever met. She took care of his elderly mother better than I can do for my own mother, she appreciated her husband to a fault and because what she gave was what he needed, they were one of the happiest couple. My husband and I are in the same career field, work in the same company and the common interest does keep it interesting, however, I hate to discuss work at home. Personally, we try to accommodate what we need, and at times we do have to work hard to keep each other satisfied. There are some not-so-usaul needs, for example, I need space and time to be alone, if I were to live with someone who needs attention all the time, I am a dead meat. Most problems, I feel, can be worked out if a couple has sincere commitment to a relationship and the willingness to see another persons? view. Lives are full of surprises and it makes a world of difference when one has a partner who is willing to work with you. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thalenoi Posted August 31, 2002 Report Share Posted August 31, 2002 I spent 40 years with "highly educated people" and got such an education myself. I frequented CEO's, CFO's Vp's Directors etc. What qualifies most these people is "dictator", not my type of friends. I know of 3 real human beings and none of them went to school over the age of 12. Something must be wrong with me or the "system" I am happy today to live with an ex-bg. No more bullshit. She has not learnt to lie, which is her biggest quality. As for sex, I can not follow her pace, after 9 months we still have a long way to go before getting bored. As for the conversation, getting to understand what we mean is the biggest challenge. Keeps us busy for long time. We are not of the socialising type and sit happily together in the sofa for months. As an other punter mentionned, our relationship might be called "love"?

As an other punter mentionned, our relationship might be called [color:red]"love"? color=red> The key word. No doubt I'll be flamed for this as it certainly appears that some, whilst pontificating about god only knows what, forget about basic human feelings that go beyond sex and 'socio economic' status.

BelgianBoy Posted August 31, 2002 Report Share Posted August 31, 2002 Phil, Actually,there is no reason at all that ANYBODY would consider flaming you for confirming that LOVE is the key word in any relationship. Actually I'm staying with my GF at Thalenoi in Chumpon, and yes, it is love............. Cheers ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
