I somtimes wonder what I talk to her about.
She doesn't have the best English in the world but as she hears it everyday it is improving - as my THai is at a basic level we can't really talk to much.
Sometimes I try to remember what we were talking about the night before and normally I can't remember.
The only things important in her life are mobile phones, makeup, hair and painting nails.
But I never feel bored and yet I don't have any really stimulating covnersations.
What do you chat with you partner about?
Maybe it's because you also enjoy mobile phones, make-up, and painting your nails???The only things important in her life are mobile phones, makeup, hair and painting nails.
But I never feel bored
Birds of a feather...
banging the gong...
the usual stuff. like world politics, civil unrest down south, which of her mates are willing to do wot in bed, actually one of her mates who is married to a farang pays to have sex with thai men, she is quite ugly and fat though but still i was quite shocked.
I take it that means you do her for free!!!
My conversations revolve around "Where you go? You have lady? Who call you?"
*sigh* for some peace and quiet
If the both of you cannot communicate well, do you really know each other?Originally Posted by mrsquirrel
These relationships make me laugh.
To each their own, though.
Dude....you have serious problems.
We talk about all things, even sex, which for her, being more of the traditional shy Thai, is sometimes hard. She is more politically minded these days but as she leads a busy busy life, her time for expansive thinking of local and world issues is pretty limited.
We talk about a broad range of things, but we often hit a point where one of us finds it difficult to express or understand a certain concept, and it takes a little more time and patience to communicate that thought. That's when we start talking about how we really should learn each other's language better. :smile:
Or would you like to swing on a star?
80% of our conversations are about what we should eat[*joke*]
Actually, we spend large amounts of time talking through schedules of when we will both be in Bangkok (she works for an airline) at the same time and what we should do.
Ordinarily we have no problems discussing things - the only problems that arise are when we go away for a week and after day 4 we've pretty much said everyhting that needs to be said. In that way, we're both fairly happy not actually talking "just because" we are in each others company. Silent moments with me reading my book (or doing my accounts) and her reading "how to get better sex out of your man" from the latest Cleo as we listen to some background music can be really relaxing.
Talk is, after all, over rated!
Added after 4 minutes:
One thing she does have is an annoying habit of switching languages half way through a discussion. She speaks Thai (mother language) English (fairly fluent spoken, few problems with writing) Japanese (above average to average) and French (better than me, but that's not saying a lot).
So, depending on who she is talking to, she may start a discussion in Thai and finish in English having spoken a little Japanese and/orFrench along the way. It makes it damn hard to follow some of her saucier conversations
Also, being Thai-Chinese her and her brothers/sisters speak a dialect of Chinese that I think is only know to immediate members of the family
When my dinner will be ready
what time i may be home from the pub
how its normal to have lots of platonic female friends numbers on my telephone
when the re- assignation operation is due
Serial Wolf Bagger
We talk a lot about the fact that most of her family needs shooting, her Aussie boss is a twat and my business. Normal shit that you'd talk about if you were shacked up with some fat pasty bitch in the west.
what do we talk about, ok, let's see-
why did i get home so late last night?
why did i have to get so wasted?
how did i get home?
why is the sofa wet?
when am i gonna grow up?
"...ever wonder why they kill the weak ones, baby?"
Thats what I was wondering about marmite - I don't really remember much about what I talked to the pasty women from my life back west - just checking to see if I should be having riveting conversations about politics and stuff - or if I should just be happy with make up.
Snaff - We communicate very well - its just a siimpler level than having to listen to Tracey from Shelmsford babling in my ear about kebabs.
Make you laugh = she does make me laugh every day thats why I worry.
Anywyas Snaffy poos I presume that most of the women you meet then are the afterbirth of the attempted occupation of Vietnam by your fellow Americans.
Usual run of the mill topics:
who is suay or not...famous people we'd like to bang...how working for "the man" blows...our dog and its odd behaviors...food...film...foreplay

I wouldn't WORRY about that much, be grateful. You know what the readers digest says: "laughter is the best medicine."

How was my working day; how was his working night at the hotel. What we're going to eat, when to go shopping. If he's watching news on TV (in Thai) sometimes we talk about that. Lots of things, even some subjects in depth. One time he even asked, "Am I doing anything wrong? Do you have any complaints?" I think he's not a normal Thai. How's your family, how my family is. Mostly about problems at work, what we need to buy, cleaning the house, arranging the potted plants, when to do the laundry, etc.
