humqdpf Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 The women is 33 and the man is 66. She is half his age of course there will be a troubled relationship. I don't know what the hell is wrong with people thinking this kind of a relationship can work. About the same age difference that was between my father and mother who were married for 25 years until he died of cancer. And what about all those guys in Udon and nearby with second families? Many are very happy. Why should it be that a big age difference automatically lead to a "troubled relationship?" Wouldn't it be more likely the infidelity, allegedly on both sides, that led to the trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micmichd Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 So, if you're not too rich, nobody could take any advantage of your premature death. And that might be a prerequisite for a stable relationship. Good luck ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what the hell is wrong with people thinking this kind of a relationship can work. I think you are just jealous. I am 61 and my wife is 35. She is a working professional with a multi-national company and I am retired. we have been together for more than 7 years and will be together for a long time. My wife is half my age and we get along very well so your comment is based on pure prejudice and or jealousy or just plain ignorance Take your choice Yeah mango Bob is full of Mango Diarrhea there are thousands of relationships like yours that work problem is that you only hear of the negative ones that get to make the news nobody wants to hear about the successful ones. I know many that are married to younger ladies and have normal healthy relationships as I do married 10 years kids 7 - 9 etc and happily married People like Mango Bob just reads TV and does not get out much or know many people because if he did he would easily see these stories are the monority not the majority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uptheos Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) I don't think there's anything wrong with a 60 year old guy having a 20 year old bride. However, I very much doubt if the relationship is built on anything other than the guys sexual pleasure. But that's OK if what both people want Oh, and his disposable income.

Whyamiandwhatamidoinghere Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Mango Bob just makes ridiculous statements when he is lonely so he can debate with rational thinking people. Age has nothing to do with divorce rates. Immaturity and infidelity, on the other hand, might not only get you divorced but just might get you dead. Maybe her cell mate won't have infidelity issues, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only shows how ignorant you are, many relationships work with an age difference - get out a little more You keep on believe that if you want, but it not me who the ignorant one here. Facts are the facts, it's doesn't work out. You look around you here in Thailand all the fail relationship with some 60 something guy courting a 30 something female. Actually more suicides than murders. And all marriages work? Why pick on those with an age difference as ones that won't work? More than half these days don't.

balo Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Its hopeless to discuss the age gap here on Thaivisa where 50% of the members probably have a much younger wife. I have no problems with 20 years difference, but 50 years difference is just not right on so many levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put a picture up of about 50 years earlier but it must of offended one of the ones who are practising this. If you go to 50, why not stretch it out to 80/90 years.....come here great granny, get this into ya. P U K E ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Credo Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Anna Nicole Smith proved that age is never a problem if there is enough money involved and there are some good drugs to be had. Unfortunately, she didn't get the money and the drugs got her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what the hell is wrong with people thinking this kind of a relationship can work. Not surprising but you paint with a broad brush and seem not to allow for individual differences. After reading of successful relationships here in Thailand I have to discount your opinion. And yes, I have read about the relationships that end up on the rocks ... but not all. Might have thrown in taking her to a different culture could also have a bearing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arunsakda Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) This part of the thread is pointless. Once you get above 12 years age difference the only reason for marriage is economic. Don't forget the state of Texas seeks to execute a woman here, a barbaric practice that should be banned under all circumstances.(even if guilt is proven). Life sentence at hard labor picking cotton or an un-airconditioned prison laundry I'd say.

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Let's compare: --Three folks arrested for murder in the U.S. Held on $1 million bail (approximately 32 million baht). They're all likely to be remaining in jail for some time. --Same three folks arrested in Thailand? The Thai woman would have been out on bail, what, maybe 200,000 baht, before the sun sets. And even if she had been convicted of murder, she could have remained out on bail post-conviction pending any appeal. Conclusion: if you're going to kill someone as a Thai, best to do it in Thailand.

SweatySock Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Unfortunately too many people have focused on the age difference in this relationship and missed the whole sad sorry outcome for the victims in this tragedy. Richard was a close personal friend, I had known him for almost 30 years. I also knew the "wife" albeit for a much shorter period. Richard was one of lifes good guys, full of optimism, good humour and a positive influence to all who knew him. He was innocent victim number one. He adopted his partners daughter from a previous relationship and treated her as though she was his own, giving her an opportunity for a life full of endless possibilities and not ending up as a "rice farmer" in Issan. Innocent victim number two. They also had a daughter themselves, again another victim of this tragedy, who is now left without any parents. Innocent victim number three. The greed of these three people who cut short the life of a man who gave so much, is beyond description. I am glad they committed the crime in a country other than Thailand where the possibility of true justice is far greater than here where money can "purchase" a reduced or non-custodial sentence. RIP Richard, you will be missed by a great many people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
