Oh on the contrary my friend, I have very high intolerance, I cannot tolerate seeing a good cognac and don't drink it.

OK.

Let's assume each bottle of Martell XO cognac is 0.75 litre, 2 bottles is 1.5 litres.
Two bottles consumed in three evenings is equivalent to about 0.5 litre an evening.
May sound like a significant amount of XO cognac.

Not very significant but its enough. Just nice.

Back to Bangkok tomorrow, so sad because past 3 days had been very relaxing for me away from my pressure cooker. Noce trip.

bro charle, i also donno how i got into this mess. its messy now and i dont knownwhat to do next. mainly my fault, really.

Many will wish for the position you are in now and some may be even envious. Unless they have been with you for years with kids, etc in tow, else to resolve this, you may need to think of cutting of ties to regain some sanity. (making sure that they are well looked after financially at least)

Else have them attend some sort of mediation (not sure if counselling exists for polygamous marriages)

Maybe select the 1-2 that are closest to you and leave the rest. Think of it this way:

1. Who was with you through thick or thin? Who is the most likely to say no if you pretend to threaten to want to leave all this behind. (not suicide)
2. Who would you think will be there when you are old and sick (still be by your side).
3. Who will be/or is the current the bearer of your kids/children.
4. Finally, which of them must you see for one last time right before leaving this world?

We all need some time out sometimes. Everyone needs to unwind at some point.

Please do not blame or fault yourself, but try to make the best out of the not so pleasant situation.
Be happy with whoever you have for the day.
Take care.

Sorry buddy I'm a Lexus guy as always and always will be. Early last month experimented a 528 now knocking my head. Naaaa no European for me.

If you like to know I can just ask my purchasing dept to ask, which model in particular?


Don't know which models were on display but they were quite big. I was just curious about the prices as there were no prices on display.

A Rolls is not a practical car in LOS. Can imagine the challenges of driving on those small sois:biggrin:

Paragon is a place wife and I don't go often unless necessary like I have visitors or something so special there that we have no choice. We can get most things in Central Latphrao or Fashion Island which we go more often but never on weekends cos its corwded.

Well meaning advice, but me thinks mediation thingy won't work in this trio situation (not in LOS anyway). :p

Will unravel, 1 way or another (maybe later rather than sooner). You come to a intersection, then must decide straight or kiri kanan. Meanwhile, enjoy your roller coaster ride ..just try to remember to get off sometime. If you up north, can help you de-stress in new CNX spa run by a lau pan niang.:p:wink:

I'm more of an MBK guy. It's more than big enough to get my daily exercise & all that I would be interested in.
However all these 4 malls , Siam Paragon the 2 adjoining malls and MBK are conveniently within walking distance of each other.

The 3 Siams are now connected to each other. It's a far cry from years ago when it was difficult to walk around. Even walking around Central World and Grayshorn is much easier as they are linked by a skybridge.

In Spore I don't normally eat out because it's become boring. However there's more choices in LOS. I usually find myself eating Japanese. I also tried a Korean BBQ much like a hotpot but instead of soup stock you barbecued the meat & veggies.

Think of it this way sir, the women are in your life because you wanted them and they wanted you too. Those who were with you wanted you enough not to leave even when you brought another woman into both your lives. Like it or not, they will remain a part of you no matter what you decide to do. Best case IMHO is to keep all and continue your responsibilities towards them. In LOS, having multiple partners are very common, in certain areas even expected for those who are at a certain level.

One of my secondary school friends, his dad has 7 wives and at least 2 mistresses, i am not sure how he keeps his sanity but last i was told, he was still very happy. What he did was to be very fair in his time and finances to all of them, the first 4 wives, gets most of his businesses. The last few ones get the smaller shops, etc. The mistresses only gets a stipend monthly but expenses covered. Most of the nights, he always arrives home to sleep, he never spends his nights at his mistresses place and instead always comes home to sleep. Having multiple partners is never easy, hope it works out for you in the end and no one gets hurt.

Best case is still to keep them all (if they are willing to), worst case let some or even all of them all go if that is what they really want.

On another note, i noticed bros here have 4x4s in one way or another. Been researching on them and noticed the new generation of Ford Ranger XLT is amongst the best, some bros and mechanics even told me better than their Hilux and less prone to theft too. They told me not to look at the DMax, the Mazda one is not bad, mechanically similar to the Ford Ranger and the Nissan Navarra is not bad but a bit too cramped. I heard the XLT parts are done in Thailand but heard its not so common over there plus no one even want to bother to steal them. (big plus for me)

Any thoughts? :smile:

thanks to all bros, especially bro wuqi.

i am going to be a father in 7 months time. called my mum this afternoon and she so happy that even volunteer to come here help 'do moon'. advise cannot eat this and drink that all the loh soh. but i never tell her is no.2 and not no. 1 cos' she only met no. 1.

no. 1 is also my main business partner here and i really donno what is going to happen if she knows about this. anyway, i cannot think too much at this moment. i am arranging for no.2 to return to the north and open a shop at month end cos her mother and sister can look after her. and if possible, complete her university education after delivery.

wuqi is right. i don't know how i manage my sanity but the partners who choose to be with me, i need to look after them. only thing is that it's difficult to be fair or equal. really tired of being fair.

anyway, i was depressed the whole day but not anymore. drink also will not solve problem. now just waiting to be a father. if possible, i like my child to stay with me. that's all i asked for. was guilty of treating no. 2 coldly few days ago as she verbally abused no. 3, who is innocent. now i understand why.

anyway, things might not be that gloomy. but i promised myself there will not be no.4. i admit i cannot handle at all. love is love but i cannot handle too much.

thanks for the concern and care, bros. i will recover. noe looking foward to take the pic of my child. :smile:
