You are dealing with the frog that lives in a well, they have no concept of foreigners or the world outside. As for the inlaws, best to live as far away as possible. You are never going to be accepted as a member of the tribe. I would not want to live like a Thai anyway. On 5/18/2020 at 4:34 PM, darrendsd said: So you have pretty much paid for it all your life? As they are parasites, a woman will always cost you money. Often, slapping the money down on the bar works out far cheaper than marrying one of em and is a lot less hassle.

EricTh Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I think this is more of a cultural clash than anything. You can't accept your wife's parents thinking and they might not accept your western thinking too. So try to accept each other's culture. Wearing a boxer short isn't considered 'naked'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orchis Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 "Is my marriage in trouble if the in-laws don’t like me?" you should rephrase the question according to the priorities at hand:"What can I do to protect my daughter?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc26 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) I will never get this attitude of "let the Thais handle it", especially when it is concerning your young children I actually think that's the problem in a lot of Thai/Farang marriages..........there is this sort of separation between farang and Thai I treat my marriage and in-laws the same I do any relationship I have been in, while understanding there are cultural differences. Sure there is issues that I let me wife handle(i'd do the same with a farang wife), but I find it absurd that people think a father should not get involved in a matter this serious. My wife always says "My family fear you". I have an awesome relationship with all of them. I think what she means is they respect I am going to share my opinion and not just stand to the side and let things be handled by my wife. There is no chance in hell I would not be involved in any matter concerning my kids............ Edited June 17, 2020 by marc26 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
