I have a question for the expats living in Thailand? From my observation and experience, is it common for wives to basically disregard their husbands, and carry on almost a single life? But still act as married? I have noticed Thai men who seem to always be waiting for their wives? I have also had this happen to me, although I am not married, or in a relationship! I am not suggesting anything is going on, but I was wondering why any man would bother, as it seemed he is really single? Please just constructive feedback, if possible?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion raises questions about the independence of Thai women in relationships, with some expats observing that Thai wives may sometimes seem to lead a more independent life while still being married. Several participants emphasize that this could be influenced by cultural norms, financial dynamics within the household, and traditional expectations of familial support. The conversation reflects varying perspectives, from those who see it as a cultural norm to others who find it problematic, without reaching a definitive conclusion.
