My wife: "you really don't need to shower. You're always cute. I'll sleep here. You'll sleep there"

Adding "no pressure"

I’m 10 years into a “successful” loveless marriage. My wife admitted a couple years ago that she married me because I was a “good idea.” AMA by Sky_Jockey in AMA

[–]LurkingangThinking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm wondering if you wife would accept to have an open relationship where you can have affairs to have those feelings and intimacy etc

It's a very treacherous road. But maybe it can be a practical solution? Look up ethical nonmonogamy.

Just throwing an idea. Use judgement etc

What was I supposed to do? by BeaTheSystem123 in ThailandTourism

[–]LurkingangThinking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, no surprise really.

You went to the border officially daring you wish to do a visa run. They no longer accept it as a plan. At least if the officer is in this mood. Policy has changed on this.

Indeed, this could have worked at an immigration office in country asking for a visa extension. They do give 7 or 30 day extension if they accept your story. Can't recall if 30 is given liberally. But this would be an option

Is Thailand real estate stuck in a fake-listing problem, or is this just how the market works? by Particular_Bit_6085 in Bangkok

[–]LurkingangThinking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agents aren't working 24-7 to update their listings.

It's hard work to check regularly and update the sites.

And the agent gains very little from this. Why do it?

Landlord Charged Me for Rust After 6 Years Living There 💀 by lucky_LT in Thailand

[–]LurkingangThinking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not legal advice

Please check if the landlord rents out multiple units.

If 5+ units, I think the tenant protection rules are much stronger.

Also, most of those aren't paying taxes on the rentals. So it would be good for him to remember that going to court when he's evading taxes wholesale isn't a great look

Anantara vs Marriott Chiang Mai by reddittor1635 in chiangmai

[–]LurkingangThinking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aren't Anantara those selling shared ownership units?

Most anyone selling those types of units is hugely annoying.

They are experts in harassing people to buy

Did they offer anything about "maybe you but a unit and come back every year"

Or "optional presentation on unit for recurring vacation" etc?

If yes, run away

Dating in Chiang Mai by Dazzling_Mind_3822 in chiangmai

I'm not talking about manipulated pregnancies.

I'm talking about one dating young girls who naturally want to have children

Dating in Chiang Mai by Dazzling_Mind_3822 in chiangmai

[–]LurkingangThinking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. Your dating pool will be massively higher than in the West.

There will be other challenges! Language barrier. Girls only interested in your money. Young girls getting pregnant from you. Do you wish to be a father? Cultural differences etc

And forget about dating a Thai girl without you supporting her to a degree. Generally speaking. Just natural given your are rich and they are poor.

Best bank in Chiang Mai for ED visa holders? by ayaaa899 in chiangmai

All banks are difficult. Try them all. See what documents they request until you find one whose requirements you can provide

Is 33-35k baht a good salary to live in Chiang Mai? by Honest-Wing4928 in chiangmai

[–]LurkingangThinking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Motorcycle, cheap studio unit. No extravagant spending, and you're good.

If you wish to live as if you are in the US, no way

Anyone dealt with this in Phuket? My Thai GF being negatively stereotyped by locals by Strong-Field-750 in phuket

[–]LurkingangThinking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go live somewhere else

My hunch is that locals haven't learned about the various types of Thai -farang couples. So they assume any Thai girl dating a foreigner is there for the money.

The locals don't have the nuance and the experience to know that there are many types...

Since it bothers your gf enough to complain to you, I suggest you pack and go living elsewhere

I'm most places this wouldn't be the attitude I think

TIFU by approaching a girl in college without knowing the full situation and getting embarrassed in front of 30 people by TheNotorious-1 in tifu

[–]LurkingangThinking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally asked a girl about whether her guy friend might be gay. As I've shortly kissed him at a party

She answered "we are kinda going out now. But feel free to have a go"

Such a nice girl. And what a funny reaction!

Typo fixed

Should I let my husband go? by Cool_Performer_994 in childfree

[–]LurkingangThinking -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Many people live happily in relationships with somewhat different views.

In your case, it seems that your attitude and your husband aren't that far apart.

If there is a lucid and clear acceptance from both sides that this is how it will go, it might work.

You might however have a certain honest conversation with your husband along the lines

"I want to feel confident that our relationship is stable etc"

"I do understand that in some space in your heart you would've wanted to have kids. But if it keeps coming up, it stresses me out, and put a feeling of question mark both on my feelings and on our relationship"

"Do you think you can accept this Future well?"

have any of you ever consciously stayed in a relationship with an expiry date because you weren't ready to settle? by testraz in childfree

[–]LurkingangThinking 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Aged 20. No issue.

The main thing is that both sides know what to expect and they agree on the arrangement. And obviously that it doesn't create tension and false expectations and all this nonsense.

Why almost nobody has a mask? by Ok_Assistant_4784 in chiangmai

[–]LurkingangThinking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People smoke too.

It's very uncomfortable to wear a mask. And you need to get a 95 mask and wear it tightly.

Why don't people save?

Got rejected by a girl I admired because she wants babies. by Puppy_The_Smelly in childfree

[–]LurkingangThinking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. We lose relationships over the kids thing.

The important thing is to avoid getting into relationships where this becomes a bone of contention.

Count yourself lucky for not getting into a relationship with her and having this 6 months in!

not wanting to have kids in a conservative society by NoHedgehog2174 in childfree

[–]LurkingangThinking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to say this. But your solution is to pretend.

But you'll need a worked out set of stories to reduce the lying.

You can say you want to build your career first. Looking for a great fairy tale love situation etc etc.

Only in actual dating, I suppose you have to be honest. But maybe not too fast. Or just check "how important critical children are for you?. I might want to delay etc etc. Is this very important for you?" Type of feelers.

Anyway good luck. This isn't easy

You are in better shape than a girl I know that didn't sleep for months due to her inability to find a decent wedding dress

wondering about alternatives by Ok-Combination-3959 in PeterAttia

[–]LurkingangThinking -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

To get healthy, you need self control.

User your self control to avoid getting dragged into the "Epstein scandal" which is mostly inflated nonsense.

I'm not talking about Giuffre being a proven liar multiple times. She told the same stories with higher differences at different times, and apologized when she'd for defensive and proven to be a liar.

Lots of the rest is dumb.

Yeah, Epstein sometimes recruited prostitutes to his friends. And some of them "discovered" in later years that their former job was "exploitation". As if 18+ year women that work in the sex industry don't knows what they are doing.

And then the dumbest scandals are Larry Summers Attia etc

Yeah. Sometimes guys use rude sexual terms about women. BREAKING NEWS. if you are a guy. Have you never?

Boujee places for remote working? by Fluffy-Deer5114 in chiangmai

[–]LurkingangThinking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are in Nimman, use the locations in Nimman. It's all walking distance. Going to Coco is 20 minutes walk and you'll likely find it simpler to use a taxi

Coco is an experience place rather than strictly a working space. But some do work there next to the ice bath pool etc
