colinneil Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 OP you are in a very difficult situation, whatever you do, whatever happens, take good care of your child. The child is the most important, to hell with your wifes family. Stand up to your wife, no need for arguments, if she wont compromise, get out. As long as her family are there pushing her there will never be a solution to your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sleep in the same bed as my stepson (6) when his mother isn't there. We're father and son, got an issue with that? If you have got an issue you've got serious problems, sicko, in my opinion.

soistalker Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 You're not dealing with sophisticated people. At the center of the problem Is you, and your ability to provide for the extended family. You are the outsider in your marriage. Your wife is first a member of her family. Second, she is your wife. That's the order. Guys....if you are going to marry a thai woman, which I would never suggest, then you have to lay down the rules for behavior of your wife, and especially the members of her family. Make a set of rules that cannot be broken. For example, no unannounced visits. The number of times that I have heard of thai relatives showing up and staying for weeks at a time is too many to count. I heard firsthand a story about a guy who decided to take his girlfriend to a nice beach. She told her family about it, and next thing this guys knows, there are 15 relatives showing up. Everyone eats and drinks like a free buffet, because it is a free buffet...a farang paid lunch. At the end, the waitress brings him the bill, and he said he paid the money, with a stupid look on his face as he knew he had been played by them. No one said thank you or was appreciative at all. Bet you didn't see that coming. He broke up with her the next day, telling her, "this isn't going to work out. Bottom line: stop being a sucker.

If you expect the child to live in Thailand the rest of its life, let the mother do most of the "parenting". I have a son (14 years old) and let the parenting mostly to my wife, only giving guidance where it pertains to common sense or moral/ethical matters. My son will spend the rest of his life in Thailand. My wife knows best what works for him. Get over your ego and go with the flow. Just focus on giving and your child will recognize it. Are you his wife hiding behind a disguise? if he was going to do that best just leave, make money dependent on seeing child, and live a more relaxing life by the sea.

Wake Up Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 1 hour ago, Spidey said: Others have said that it's a business, I prefer to see it as a partnership. Both parties need to be seen to contribute equal amounts to the partnership and that doesn't necessarily mean money, one might contribute the greater amount of money, the other the greater amount of time and effort, but it must balance. Decisions should be made jointly which, of course, often means compromise which also should be seen as equally shared. Some say business, some say partnership, semantics really. I agree but in Thailand as compared to USA the Thai mom and dad and family have a lot more influence over the wife/ girlfriend. Some wives have difficult time trying to please their God mom and their husband and children and choose their God mom. I like Thailand and like the idea of taking care and respecting the elderly but some of the elderly parents are not good people. They expect to rule with an iron guilt fist. People say guilt does not exist in Thailand like it does in the west. I say the whole Thailand family hierarchy is built on guilt from birth to death and beyond. OP you have some tough decisions. I don’t know any marriage counselors or people to recommend you too. But try to seek out advice from a professional. All of our comments on TVF are what worked or did not work for us based on our unique experiences. Do what is best for you and that will end up what is best for your family IMO. I lived in a bad marriage for many years because I believed it was noble and right to do what is best for the kids and put them first. I was wrong and I wish I had of asked for advice like you are doing now. So props to you for trying to resolve these painful and emotional family issues. Good luck. ????

brokenbone Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 option 1, crawl back to the shithole and get a mixed company. option 2, stay in condo with no company. option 3, stay in condo and get company. too bad coins dont have 3 sides to flip, i think i would opt for going out and party for a while, being single does have some nice attributes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you offer is a pointless cliche, and you’ve now offered another one. If it was just him and the wife, he could tell her her to bugger off, head for the seaside condo and enjoy life. But that’s not his situation, he has a kid or kids. So he needs some smart practical advice, as it’s not actually possible to grow your own balls or a backbone just by wishing it, your “advice” is not only impossible but also has no practical value. My advice was to move out, as he’ll never have any control over the children’s future, live by the sea and have fun, tell his wife when he wants to see his kids, and explain that if she’s not happy with that arrangement she’ll be even less happy with the absence of money.
