Can someone make this same thread on resetera please?

 

[casablanca]

Good guy he couldn’t refuse his wife request.

 

[Ionian]

Well he's paying for it, dunno why she gets all the glory.

Wouldn't like to be him though after a few months, castrated with a cabal of women against you and taking all your money.

Sign me up! I'd live behind the bookshelf like in 'Parasite'.

What is its real value? Exchange rates are currency market prices. They don't account for local buying power.

You should read Wild Swans. I imagine this is going to be much more like eastern concubinism than anything the west has as a norm. Even though the article is an irreverent puff piece, this woman is most likely indentured. She's probably more like a slave to the wife, and one of her chores is fucking the husband because the wife is sick of it.

Ah no doubt, was just the way it was phrased and the picture that I found amusing thinking anyone would believe otherwise. Happens around the world, sounds like torture to me. Imagine one woman nagging you so she gets 3 more?

You'd need a security team to protect you.

Well, maybe for a day it would be sexy, but for life? You'd need a massive oil reserve (pun intended) or a decent goat farm to sustain living expenses.

I'm fully willing to go to Thailand and fully research question for you; all I need is a $25,000 grant.

The 44 year old married woman, called Pattheema, has a successful business with her husband selling and hiring out crane trucks in Samut Prakarn. But the mother of one believes she is a bad wife, always tired, and cannot please her husband. So, she wants to make it up to him

It's only August but I think we can all crown her Wife of the Year.

If you read it, she basically searches for a complete care taker of her household that does everything she can't do. Basically she will just zone out on the background have no responsibility anymore and stay in the family for the cash as she does already nothing at this point without having to be afraid of the guy ditching her and she becoming poor. And as she has no sex with him anyway, its the only thing she has to give to the guy to make it appealing towards him.

This actually makes sense.

Still i would honestly, get worried if i where her that his new "mistress" and her "best friend" isn't going to replace her completely and she still gets ditched as result. She will figure that one out sooner rather then later, specially as the one she picked had to have a bachelor degree, so they aint dumb. This is why u don't do this shit and try to work it out in a way u can.

I give it a year.

I live in Thailand. There's less incentive for the husband to ditch the wife, because the marriage visa is very crucial for him being able to stay in the country. There's no guarantee that the mistress can get the paperwork cleared, and no guarantee that she would be as compliant as his current wife. The current wife is a known quantity, and if she's willing to hire a mistress, then there's really little reason to switch up.

It's a well-known, but not overly-emphasized reality that marrying (or even just dating) a foreigner is a pathway to a better life. I'm under no illusions that I'm able to bat way out of my league romantically due to my foreign status. I'm common law married with a Thai woman, and we intend on getting legally married soon. I actually love her, but the visa would be a very nice bonus. Right now, I'm on a more expensive work visa. My wife is also compliant with some of the extramarital stuff. We've only discussed it a few times, but she understands that there are urges, and we just establish ground rules. It's a matter of looking the other way, because I'm faithful and with her like 99% of the time, and I genuinely love her. But you know....urges.

There's a certain amount of guilt about this, at first, but this is really the way it works for many expats. You have a good woman at home, and a random hookup or steady mistress on the side. You open a business with your wife. She keeps a majority stake in the company, because of Thai laws. You provide support and security for her and her family. If things fall apart, she at least gets a business that she can grow to support her and her family back in her home province. The occasional (or regular) hall pass is a fair trade.

[lostinblue]

I've seen shit like this with disabled people in relationships where they are bedridden or strapped to a wheelchair.

Usually, unless one of them is filthy rich, they care deeply for each other and don't want to separate, but with one of them being "normal" means they can't get their needs fulfilled. Or will get them fulfilled some other way.

Sometimes it works, I wouldn't put her love for her husband (and his husbands love for her) on the line as I don't know her/them.

The idea of concubines is still more of a thing in eastern cultures. It’s not exactly “an open relationship,” because some women put more value on a stable household, and figure men have a higher labido anyway. We’ve all heard those jokes about sex slowing down after marriage, so this takes account for it.

I tried that life for a while. It was nice and all, but not for me.

 

[TrueLegend]

Well sometime hiring a mistress costs less than hiring an attorney to live alone.

 

[Vicetrailia]

she’s a good partner for being able to make these adjustments considering the extraordinary circumstances (her mental health) influencing the relationship in a way that doesn’t work. Hopefully everyone is honest and this works out for them. There’s that thing again, honesty.

Good luck with that.

But you know....urges.

Are those urges under the age of 14?

 

[MastaKiiLA]

Good luck with that.

It's not luck. The key is honesty. This is a different culture than the west. If you understand that aspect of it, and understand why reliability would take precedent over fidelity, then you can come to amicable terms with your SO/wife. In some cases, there are guys who'll just lie about the infidelity, and drive an already hyper-insecure/jealous woman over the edge. ASEAN women are notoriously and justifiably jealous and protective. Ignore that at your own peril. You'd have to be a pretty green expat to not be abundantly aware of this, as you'd have encountered it very early in your dating (some women you're merely chatting with online will get exceedingly jealous). Be honest from the get-go, and you can weed out non-compliant prospects. There is absolutely no reason for me to lie about my sexual predilections to a woman I intend on spending more than casual fucking time with. Think about that concept for a second, and it makes a shitton of sense. You want to swim upstream your entire trip, or go with the flow? You'll find the current better with honesty, especially if you no longer fear missing out on that hot piece of ass due to being a dirty dog in the sheets. There's the balance, my friend. The numbers will always work so that you can find someone out of your league that is also amicable to a more flexible/compliant level of fidelity. Honesty and communication are as key here as in any other part of the world. Just that the boundaries of the envelope are much further.

Are those urges under the age of 14?

C'mon bruv. Porn-quality legal trim everywhere here, and you're gonna fuck with underage shit? I pity the man who winds up in a Thai prison for child molestation (watch A Prayer Before Dawn).
