I wonder if Cowboy logic was originated in Thailand. Sure has a lot of the same things in it.

After getting excited seeing in the poll results that 33% were loved by their wives for the other, I was bitterly disappointed at reading the postings explaining "the other"LOL

Certainly food for thought in this topic.Had a meal last night with wife plus farang friend and his wife and i raised the subject.His wife said if he was pennyless tomorrow she did not know if she would stay which kind of killed the evening.She said her security would be gone.My wife said she would stay,but has her own money anyway so not a valid question.

I like this response from your wife. I have absolutely no idea why but it just seems to make complete sense to me.

Remember me telling about Waen going to visit her sister? One night I had a bad dream about her involving snakes that caused me to wake up and in my sleepy state I searched my bed for some misplaced snake that was going to bite her. She called while I was searching and she had just arrived back at the Udon bus station. Upon arrival at Udon she had discovered that someone had stolen her suitcase from the bus baggage compartment during an overnight stop. We were both searching for something at the same time.

A few months later I had another bad dream about her (involving big rain I think) which woke me up yet again. As it turns out at about that same time something had happened to her once again.

After this second time she said that we were meant to be, that "Buddah had put us together for a reason".



Does there have to be something more? I suppose that answer would have to be yes. With only love between a man and a woman and nothing to stimulate it and keep it fresh then I guess that even the best of people would grow apart.

Please apologise to your friend and his wife for me. although I always try to have stimulating and varied conversations with varied and opposing views If I had known that my beginning this topic would cause a husband and wife to have this one conversation then I would not have started it.

The formula goes sometjing like Needs ??? If both partners needs are met by each other then happy relationship. If both partners wants are seen as non nececities then happy relationship . Which brings back the age old problem of truly understanding each others needs and wants . My girlfriend needs a new pair of shoes, she wants a new car ??? She accepts that car is not a real need but she wants it more than a new pair of shoes which is her real need. So the secret lies somewhere in the formula for defining real needs and wants. And then the acceptance of that formula ? Now this one could go on for ever ?grins

because she has a secret Thai bloke to support on the quiet?

After 34 years I hope its love, but who cares

34 years thats a long time....it must be..no no i am sure it's love.

Mine tells me so quaintively "I Rufve you" ..I do wish she would sort out her "R's" and "L's" .... sometimes I don't know if if I'm a Farang or Falang
The worst bit is........Being a Westerner and liking to be told that you I am loved frequently I get the responce of...." I tell you once why I need to tell you again ..When I NOT "Rufve" you.... I tell you
So until she says she doesn't I presume she does
