Take my wife..... please. Just wondering about others' experiences. My wife is a wonderful woman, full of love and caring but after 6 years in the US she is still just plain stupid. ESL, college courses, ongoing tutoring by yours truly and she still can't write a complete English sentence nor figure out how make an appointment. Frustrating to say the least. I thought we would have children but I wouldn't trust her to care for a baby. Oh she'd love and care but would be too confused to call the doctor or get to an ER in an emergency. It's continuous endless head shaking stupidity. I imagine life with her illiterate Isaan Mom would be similar. This lovely woman I married has a Thai college degree and was a working accountant when I met her in Bangkok. Boy did I expect something different.
I often shake my head and say that no intelligent girl would have married me and come to America barely knowing me. Funny, but too true. We only know a few Thais here in the USA. A lot of Laotians in our area who speak a dialect similar to pasa Isaan. Most of them haven't managed to learn English and seem quite stupid too.
I stick with my wife because I made a committment and an agreement and she does take care of me athough her talk of working is useless as she can't succeeed at a job interview. I just wonder if other Farangs have lived through the frustration of discovering just how hugely stupid these cute girls can be. The inability to learn despite help and effort is a very limiting and frustrating thing for her and for me.
