I was thinking Thai when its time for Bride 2.0, any horror stories there? For now I am happy with Bride 1.0 but the nagging and domineering took years to control. If there were a relapse, I could snap.
Yes, there are horror stories with Thai women. Remember that they survive/prospered under a male dominated society. To do this, the learned to manipulate and marry for money. Its almost ingrained now. When I was in Thailand, there was a news story of a women who shot her husband when she thought he was cheating. Thai women tend to be a bit more volatile. In addition, the Thai women who are looking for foreign mates may be ex-prostitutes. Ex-prostitutes are not marriage material in their own country, so they look outside. There are exceptions though, as there are in all cases.
Best thing to do is look for a ‘partner’. Having a wife that is 100% submissive is like having another child around that you really can’t depend upon. It gets very tiring after a while. Look for someone you can talk with, sometimes loosing all sense of time. You also need to realize there are differences between people so don’t look for a mirror image of yourself. Narcissism is not healthy.
And a clue to the men. It helps to have a good memory when there is an argument.. often women bring in the ‘kitchen sink’ and all past transgressions or perceived transgressions. If you keep a good memory of the past, this doesn’t work. In addition, if a ‘kitchen sink’ is thrown in on the argument.. make sure the argument keeps relevant.
