Yes definitely. 14 years married plus 2 years courting and 2 great kids. We still talk to eachother, we still joke, we still hold hands and do all the things we did when we were newly weds. We have, of course, had are ups and downs over the years, but I would say the last 3 years have been as good as the first 3 were - and we are still happy together and very much in love. I have never cheated on y wife, nor would I. I am 40 and she is early 30's, so still a long time to go together (I hope!).
I was married before - I was very young (the divorce took longer than we were married for!) - 2 years end to end. I was engaged at least 3 other times - but each time I knew/learned they were not the one. I have had a partner my whole life - from about 5 years old on - and never been alone. I had loves (and lusts) before and made plenty of mistakes, but my current wife is so much my soul partner. There have been times when I was the major wage earner, and times when she was - neither of us carry the other, we are a family and sacrifice like a family does (although she does have more shoes and handbags than Emelda Marcos - lol!).
I wish everyone as much luck in love as I have been blessed with!

The consensus is that I am most excellent. Posted 2012-02-11 11:08:14
No.
3+ years together, We are not thrilled with each other, but I haven't cheated. We'll probably split in 1-2 years. Happy Valentines Day

Probably not, who's to know whether there might have been something better?
But, after 20 odd years of ups and downs we are in a comfortable armistace. A bit like the two Koreas. #54

No. 3+ years together, We are not thrilled with each other, but I haven't cheated. We'll probably split in 1-2 years. Happy Valentines Day That is probably quite normal. But, just look at the alternatives. I keep stressing that if you can have a few good years with a women without it costing you everything you own, then it's a pretty good deal. The few bad times are usually more than compensated for by the good times. #55

Yes, absolute "Love of my life"! Been married before in west, lots of quite serious relations in west and a couple of serious relations here in Thailand. But now after 7 years with the lady/girl that is now my wife, she is the one.
The one that I have most fun with, the one that respect me 100% and I respect her 100%, we be together 90 % of the time, we work together, we travel together, we sleep together. And she is never tired of taking care of me 110%. And she is the best Tahi cook!

love of your life mean the sweet young thing that gave you the best sex you ever had. Hahaha .. that is "sex of your life" obviously. Love is love sex is sex, lust is lust, relationship is relationship. I think these are customarily mixed. Greatest love is also not the "greatest depth of feelings, or strongest feelings" because we often experience these as a result of rejection or otherwise loss. And suffering is also not love. For the love of your life to happen one, actually the two, must be capable of selflessness and wishing to bestow love to each other. - Dr. Love ;-) PS. You can ask me what's love next time .. keke. Happy Valentine's Day to Everyone! #58

No and never will be here, love's of my life came from the West (Farang ladies) so guess i am going to be a sad lonley old man.   . Got so many friends who have loves of their lives who came from bars, just dont get that, still if folks are happy with that up to them.Yep !! that is sad, get yourself up, dust yourself off and find that companion unless your happy being on your own. that was a long time ago, and forgotten. Happy being on my "own" now, as in not a regular relationship. #59

Yep Swindon Town FC has always been the love of my life. We've had our rough patches, like when we were relegated last season, but still the relationship is as strong as it ever has been. The wife's pretty cool as well. This reflects exactly my feelings about Wrexham F.C. My marriage to them has lasted 60 years this Easter. They can send me into orgasmic delight or into contemplation of suicide. Just like a woman. #60

When these forums are often full of negatives about life here in Thailand, it's good to read of so many positive relationships.
I married a teacher here in 2006. Married her after just 4 months ... something I'd never have done in the west, and if you'd told me I'd do such a thing, before coming here, I'd have said, 'no way'! But it was about feeling this was the right woman. And that's the way it's worked out, so far. I've learned more from my wife about being a good husband, friend, lover, person than I have from any previous relationship. I've never been unfaithful to her. Never wanted to. Every day is a joy to wake up to. If it's possible to be blessed ... I have been! DIG #61

Always! But remember relationships rarely last (especially in Thailand). The sort that dont last in Thailand are the sort where your 50 go into a bar fall in love with a 20 year old ,marry her in haste and repent at leisure ,the same as ones anywhere in the world , but if you marry an ordinary woman from the same sort of background as yourself ,then chances are it will be the same as marrying a woman anywhere in the world and the chances of it lasting are the same ,not rocket science. You have no evidence to support that theory. I have no desire to live with an 'ordinary woman' and would quickly tire of one. Chances are that marrying anyone will result in divorce, so why choose someone dull. Although my wife is Thai and younger than myself we met thriugh buisness ,went out for about a year and lived together in the UK for 6 months before getting married ,so we were prety certain that we were combatable before tying the knot ,and it seems to have worked out. Just curious ... was "combatable" intended. It could work. |
