Met her in a bar in Thailand, she was a freelancer, now I want to marry her. Am I being an idiot?
Bangkok/MiddleI need honest advice, not judgment. I already know how this sounds.
I'm in my late 40s, divorced once, no kids. I've been traveling to Thailand regularly for about three years. Two years ago in Bangkok I met a woman at a bar in the Sukhumvit area. She was a freelancer, meaning she wasn't tied to any specific bar, she worked independently. We both knew what the first night was.
What I didn't expect was everything after that.
I extended my trip. We spent real time together — markets, temples, day trips, just walking around eating street food. She was funny, warm, and surprisingly easy to talk to despite the language barrier. I went home, but we kept in contact. I came back four months later. Then again. Over two years, I've visited six times, each trip longer than the last. Last visit was two months straight.
Now she's talking about the future seriously, and honestly… so am I.
