    @AntiTheismForever 2 роки тому +2

    Genuine self-reflection and warmhearted flashbacks to the good times you had together. This is how I chose to remember my years with my ex, there were many good shared moments and memories. The heartache will pass of course and your willingness to share such content is part of the healing process. Continue to focus on being the best version of yourself and living in the moment, the past is just that. There are many potential "soul mates" waiting to be discovered but female nature is universal, for most their "love" is opportunistic and transitory. Trust me when I say that a solo journey does not have to be a lonely one and in fact it's a more liberating one. Best wished brother.

    I’m in total shock mate .
    It doesn’t make sense , I just can’t imagine what happened between you both , but anyway , from my own experience being similar to yours LJ , my first Thai relationship failed due to her not being what she portrayed herself to be , but I learnt a lot from that lesson , and years later I met the greatest Thai woman who turned out to be the one that I was meant to meet , and I married her and my life has never been so full of love and happiness since the first day we met .
    You always have to believe that everything in life happens for a reason, and when you finally meet the right one , you soon realise why you weren’t meant to be with the other women .
    Chin up mate , as that mrs right is out there still wondering where you are , and one day when the time is right , you will meet her .
    Sometimes we meet the right woman at the wrong time ,
    Great to see Johnny trying to cheer you up LJ , as it is so good to have a good Aussie mate to help you through this tough time.

      I really like Belltown's comment . Sums it up. My opinion is later in this long reply! My recent situation is complex, as I think our distance relationship will just fade away. I'm the only one holding it up, but she is okay to keep us in limbo. Not to formally break up, but I'm not going to be anyone's insurance policy or wait until "she decides." Relationships are not about control . I am a lot more open than she is, and one does not really know the depths of another's experiences and issues they have to overcome, even if one thinks that they do. And just like this situation and maybe yours, we both thought that we had so much in common, and I thought we were inseparable. You need to be perceptive enough to see negative signs . And treat them without blinders on. But just two months ago, I got to know another woman in my profession much better than I had in the past. Was a strange thing that we caught up at the very end of the meeting when everyone was gone.... we clicked so well it's almost like I've known her all my life. I have always been attracted to her, but never in my wildest dreams thought that we would have such a conversation so special. Something rare that I have never seen before. So it sounds like I am suggesting to be optimistic and be open to trust. Actually I agree with you more than disagree. Keep open but not too much. If that true match comes, you will know it. Just keep your expectations reasonable at the start. My encounter just happened, so it's in the early stages. But it's looking very good. Hope things are going well for you!

Many people would say awwww that's not so important but to Asian women I believe it is more important then what you might believe. If you are serious and plan to live in Thailand. Please take the time to learn the importance of those things I mentioned above that are important to Thai and Asian women. LJ do a daily inspection of yourself through prayer and meditation. Use this time to learn, grow the inner man. Relax and enjoy life.

    I'm in the Philippines, I met my wife to be on my first weekend here. Now 23 years. Have a beautiful 22 year old daughter. We always got on but fell into financial problems and I became a workaholic to fix it. She left and got mixed up with bad people and ended up in jail, she's still there 6 years later. I've been by her side every step of the way and still fighting to get her out. I realised a lot of mistakes I made and understand her thinking. Although I don't have to be, I've been celibate for this 6 years but hope to get her out asap. Kind of fixed the financials and picking myself up, had a lot of help. So I know how you feel, these Asian ladies are something else.
    I could see it coming to be honest, not sure exactly why or how but Tida changed a little I think. O hope she comes back, you made a nice couple, sometimes the culture thing gets in the way, possibly language also.bif she doesn't come back, believe me, there are many ladies out there to take your mind off things and keep you comforted at night.
    Will miss you both and hope to see you back on your own, with Tida again and or with someone else. Take care.

    I have enjoyed your videos and your “pure” energy my friend. I learned decades ago that a relationship is.... just a relationship. They build on each other. We can grow as men with each passing one. We are here to grow and what better way than by being in relationship. Personally I’m a much better partner today than I ever was. It’s taken many and I have more work to do. Relationships are a perfect mirror for us to grow and learn better ways to be in relationship. You said you will work to dissolve your ego. I’m proof that day only happens when we pass-on. So if we travel our life and relationships with an ego than accept it but don’t act on it. That is the muscle we need to train strong. Our muscle to keep our ego quiet and always behind us. Of course it wants to lead but it most often will cause us pain when it does. You are far along on your life path just by acknowledging the presence of your ego. Congratulate yourself for this advanced state and work that muscle as often as needed everyday. You are not your ego. Your ego is insane and you surely are not. You are a man filled with love, compassion and creativity. Celebrate the Spirit Being you are. You are a Spiritual Being having human experiences. I’m sure you’ve heard that one given the path you travel. Learn and grow from your time with Tida (sp). And take what you’ve learned into your next relationship and with that, think how wonderful it will be. Perfect Love is when two spiritual people share their lives and loves with each other. The key here is “share their lives” with each other. Not become each other or become one, but continue to grow as spiritual beings who are sharing their journeys together. We can loose ourselves in relationship and that’s more ego than being on our unique spiritual life path. Share lives, not become lives. You will hopefully have more beautiful relationships, growing all the time. It’s no accident this one is over. There must be one in the wings waiting for you to be open to her and her ready for you. Relationships are way too important to our growth and journey down here to be random. Be thankful for Tida and thankful for your new mystery woman when your timing’s are perfect. Be open to Love and revel in what you’ve learned so far and excited to share it all.
