Successfull Farang-Thai Relationships

Post by **jai yen yen** » August 29, 2012, 2:46 am

I think men have a natural talent for picking the wrong women wherever they are. I know I picked some real dandies in my time, doing good now though with my Thai lady.

A refreshing thread. Nice to know I'm not alone being hopelessly in love with my wife.

Married 4+ years, 36 year age difference, with a two and a half year old daughter. Live right next door to her parents with many of her extended family nearby. No problems there, in fact it's darned convenient having free on-call babysitters 24/7. They almost compete to see who is going to take care of the little one. Life is good.

Married 5 years and a 6 year difference in age. One step daughter and two boys, have our moments but few and far between.
My wifes family are good and her mum lives with us to help out with the kids, maybe thats where some of the stress comes from. I find if you look after there family they will inturn look after you. Not talking huge money but we help out where we can and the family helps out with their time if needed. All up very happy.

We live in EU but plan to come to stay here near her family (never had a problem with them).
Usual up an down, we nearly enjoy every time both there and here.

I met my wife in Iraq while we were both there on temporary duty. So far we have been married 2-1/2 years. Her first marriage my third. I was interested in a woman that wanted to stay married. I seemed to have picked two western women that didn't. The standards she exhibited were much like mine, value of the marriage bond, respect for others and a love of travel. We have a 16 year age difference. I have baggage from my earlier marriages with grown children mostly in my head I work on. She didn't bring much baggage only a servant attitude toward me. I am amazed at how well she treats me and I try to do the same for her. Never a loud fight. I expected a large generation gap and there isn't much of one. My biggest challenge is making sure she tells me what her needs are. She has an MBA from a US university and was a little westernized by the time I met her. We tried to live in Thailand for a while but I couldn't find a decent paying job there and I didn't want to live on her salary. We now live simply in the States and are looking to travel more once the US citizenship comes through. I adore her and she seems to me as well. I make sure I try to understand the Thai culture and respect that in her. I also make sure we stay out of debt so she can go back to Thailand every year and keep those ties with her family. That seems to be the biggest complaint from Thai women in the States I have met that 2-3 years between Thailand visits is not enough. After 2-1/2 years of marriage these things seem to be working. I feel so blessed that I am in the best part of my life with a woman I love to come home to every day.

My first marriage with a Thai wife lasted 32 1/2 years, she died of cancer. She was 6 months older than me.

Now with a second Thai wife, she is 13 yrs younger, married almost 8 years. Still going strong.

Personally there seems the big "hoo harrr" about Thai/ Farang
relationships. Lets be honest here it's all about being
realistic here Thai woman have enough common sense to
determine who is washed up ugly ,fat ,bald, handsome
smart , funny Etc Etc. It all about choosing a partner who is
compatible and a common ground not just with Thai woman but
every race and creed around the globe!!! The
chances are if "Joe Soap "chooses a woman out of his relative
league there is a good chance a ulterior motive could come
into the equation. (burp)

12 years and still going strong $\:D/$

12 years of wedded bliss owing to the fact that you are not a 'seed lord'.

Hi laan yaa

"Seed Lords" (senior citizens ) can also be successful in a Thai / Farang relationships however keep it realistic but not aim to high because as I said before ulterior motives come into play if the relationship has no chance to reach common ground before it began .

PS All relative across the globe no just Thailand ..

Thanks respect Urban Legend (he does what it says on the tin)

9 years together, 4 years married with a daughter 3 years old, together working and living in Belgium!

Still loving and caring each other.

Indeed, the Urban Legend is a leader not an egg-stained follower. Furthermore you are right, as usual, that the seed lords can have successful relationships too if they understand what it is going on around them and with the lady and her family. As you say, this applies everywhere not just Thailand.
