Does your Thai wife do your head in sometimes?

[Aqualung]

Honestly, they can act like babies sometimes. And ignorant buggers aswell. 

Tonight my wife and the step daughter went out of town to a birthday party and 3 hours into it I needed info from the wife regarding her Swedish passport as we are travelling to England on Monday and I wanted to clarify details. 

Well,as expected a few messages later plus a video call ignored. 

Now we all know these Thai women are glued to their phones 24 hours per day so I got mightily pissed off I didn't even get the respect of a reply. 

She's now sulking in bed as I write as she damn well knows she's in the wrong. So is the daughter in law.. A 28 year old baby. 

Apparently a party is more important.

No... because I don't have one and doubt that I ever will.

 

The non stop loud and high pitched talking would drive me to quick insanity.

The only Thai girl I would consider doing a long time deal with is very quiet, mature and respectful (except when I am shaggy the begeesus out of her). 

If it were to ever happen I would put her up in her own room nearby. When I need my own "space" she can go hang in her nicely fitted out room.

If she is not happy with that arrangement (if the time ever comes...) then it will be time to move on down the line.

I feel your pain brother.

My Mrs will call me, it'll ring off then I'll call back within a second, only not for the phone to be answered. This happened again just yesterday. Does my melon in.

As you say, they're nearly always on the bloody phone to someone, or watching tiktagram or whatever it is they watch, but the moment, the very second you need to know or contact them, it's a wall of silence.

The other thing that really annoys me is stuff getting moved around. I was doing the accounts this afternoon, looked for my stapler and couldn't find it anywhere. When I roused the wife out of the coma she was in looking at the phone, she told me she'd moved it to the office supply cupboard. Yes, because I use it every single day numerous times, she had the critical thinking skills to move the fucking thing to somewhere I won't look for it, for no other reason that tidying up my desk space.

Yeah I would be annoyed if mrs smiler ignored my calls BUT don't think I would bother her if she was at a party over her passport details....

Mate, we are leaving Sweden Monday lunchtime. As always, it's me that's organised everything and I needed her passport details to be able to check in online as I like to get things done. 

Her passport wasn't in the place it's supposed to be and she had it with her. Her surname in her Swedish passport is different to how it is normally spelt. It's a kind of pronunciation thing ie:- her surname is jonsson but in her passport it's joensson. I needed clarification as I was worried I used the wrong one when making the booking. 

Party or not, it was only 2 minutes of her precious party time and when she did eventually return my call I told her that if there were any f**k ups at the airport she could fix it herself. 

Can't wipe their arses for ever. Anyway where I'm from it's just good manners to return a call. I'll bet if her mother called her she would answer! 

I've accepted her Apology BTW but it will happen again I'm sure.

Mate my old dad once gave me some advice I have lived my life by - Never, ever try to understand women.

Doesn't matter what race or colour or where they come from.

They are women and I am not.🙄

Totally agree. Your dad was a wise fella.

 I think I totally agree with you.................Except......... If one wrote a Book on the subject of not understanding women there should be a whole chapter just for Thai women.

Basically, Thai women are ALL nuts interspersed by often long periods of "normality". We love them to bits however one has to accept that rare the occasion maybe they WILL at some moment in time completely and utterly lose the plot when it is unsafe to be in any room with them containing sharp or heavy objects.

Another post I completely agree with. 

We are off to Los in January. Guess who paid for the 3 tickets. That was of the understanding that my step daughter repay me her share as I'm not a charity organisation. 

Well. Guess what!  Rather than transfer the money to me she transferred it to my wife in installments. All well and good from my side but it would have been nice to be asked on what I preferred in the first place. Piss taking on a big scale imho. 

Anyways, as for now, all is good.

Don't get me started on the simple task of replacing the finished toilet paper roll.

Yeah.... I had to let one go years back for doing similar stuff. I couldn't take it anymore.

Asked her on 4 occassions not to put a certain item in a specific spot. I pointed to it specifically and emphaisized the importance of it. These incidents happened all within a relatively short time frame. After the fourth time that was it. 

They are doing it because of one of two things.... It is some kind of power trip for them, or they are just rock head stupid.

And their way of training you is often the silent treatment leaving you trying to figure out what the fcuk you did wrong. 

Communication is important to me, even if it sometimes means being direct, or some may say abrupt. I just want to get my point across so there isn't missed message which is difficult enough in the best of relationships. I would rather come off as being a bit controlling than to have a misunderstanding. Because you know damn well any misunderstanding is going to be your fault. Slow, calm approach with a smile usually gets the job done, but not always. Sometimes they are just looking for something to pout about. Go ahead honey... I will be in the other room not giving a shit. Let me know when you are finished with your fake hurt feelings and we can get on with the day. Otherwise, the door is unlocked, use it.

3. They want out of the relationship?

Over the years, I've often bought the GF a small gift on the spur of the moment. Then she usually does something that pisses me off and I just stash the present in the top of my wardrobe. The damn thing's a big double wardrobe and almost the entire top of it is now bulging with stuff that I bought for her but never gave her because of her stupid and inconsiderate behaviour. It's her loss, she just has to think of someone else for a change and behave sensibly, but that mostly seems to be beyond her.

Instead of buying a new present each time and not giving it to her can't you just not give her one of the presents you have already bought?
