I met my husband in Pattaya in late 1987. We spent two weeks together then he left. We kept in contact and I came to the US in early 1988. I have been here ever since. There is also a good chance that I will go to law school.
Married life is never easy, especially for couples from very different cultures.
Life in the US is not a walk in the park either. The common mistake that most people make is that they think that marriage is the be all and the end all for everything. The fact is it is just a beginning of a bumpy ride. A Thai wife. I am happy for you.
