ParticipantI have to disagree with the comment that the divorce laws favor women. The laws favor the lower/non-earning spouse. I know more than one woman who has to pay alimony to her ex-husband.
Unfortunately it is true, though you could say it is not ‘written law’ but ‘administered law’. Compare the amount of alimony paid by female spouse compared to amount of alimony paid by male spouse under the same wage situations (be careful of cross-correlation in statistics). Also look at child support enforcement separated by gender of the parent with custody. There is still a stigma on a male who depends upon a breadwinner wife and this makes its way into the courtroom. Whether this is fair or not is a separate issue.

October 28, 2009 at 1:26 PM #474829ParticipantI 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.
