I have never posted a serious post? But here goes ,i have been offered a job in the Maldives. Nice an all? but it means leaving the wife at home ? the jobs 2 years (sounds great an all ) but could i live like a single monk for 2 years? Doing my own washing ,cleaning not to mention no sex ? Help me out ?The plus sides are 2 years in Maldives would open up the doors to resort work in Thailand (the grand plan) so could the Singlerack masssive live with no sex for 2 years ???

Really? It's the sex your worried about?

If be more bothered about leaving the women I love for 2 years.

I think you need to think if you want to be with her or not. Sounds like your just after sex.

You certainly gave the right title to the post. You don't seem that bothered about not being with your wife, just worried about not getting a shag.

Think you need to grow up a fair bit to be honest.

[i]would open up the doors to resort work in Thailand[/i]

with her 'in tow' or again without her?

And she would be unable to visit or you to return home at any time in the 2 years?

As for no sex for 2 years, I take it you're not actually married yet?

Most of the singletrack massive have been without sex for more than two years (even if they say they have it at least 15 times a day)

I live and work in Asia, and I know where you are coming from.
Temptation does come up, especially after a few beers.
But just get your head around it, think about the consequences, and you'll go back into the bar, and get whiskey and then sozzle out.

Take the opportunity, 2 years of no sex isn't bad (is there an option to go back during the holidays?) when you look at what you want to achieve (and why give it all up for a few minutes?)

Has nobody watched Road trip and become acquainted with the rules?

To the OP
Turn it around think about your Mrs left here hows she going to feel, maybe she'll take comfort in the arms of another (what's your address again :wink:), or how would you feel if the situation were reversed?

There's your answer

I've been a good boy for 7 years.
I've been very close to not being a good boy (the wife doesn't read this)
But a last minute reality call solved that one.

The big issue for you, is that it's going to be exotic (unless your wife is Asian)
They are going to be..... difficult.
And it will be.
The focus, will be the end plan.
Also, if the guys you hang on with, frequently go....
Then change friends.
I did.
Met some nice people to hang around with. You can still have fun, still enjoy yourself, but you don't have to cross that boundary.

Also, you need to choose your bars too. Some will be famous for what you want to avoid.

You don't love your wife so leave her and sleep around.

Plus if the mrs wants you to go perhaps she doesn't want to be with you either.

I was in a similar position and I didn't take the assignment. I was offered a job in Shanghai. At the time my mother-in-law had a brain tumour, which was ultimately terminal though we didn't know that at the time. My wife didn't want to leave her mother, but conversely the Shanghai opportunity was a big promotion for me and would help us both long term financially. We considered me taking the position with her coming out to visit me every few months.

We took an exploratory trip out to Shanghai and after speaking to people in the office there the general consensus was one of two things happen to people who relocate without their spouse or family. They either end up shagging someone/thing else, and/or they are lonely and miserable and end up returning home before the end of the assignment. Obviously some people could sustain the relationship, but the consensus among the expats was that the majority ended up sleeping around or buggering off back home. That coupled with some other factors meant I didn't take the offer. In hindsight it was the correct decision for us.

Going on from what BoardinBob says that is true.
If something is missing, then you replace it.

I've managed (struggled) to keep riding/running and doing what I was doing back home.

What I can't replace, I find something knew to do.
Coursera has become a friend of mine.

Those who choose, and it is a choice, not to be faithful, well. It's their choice at the end of the day.

When going to a new country, there is so much more to do, than bars and girls.

Just don't follow the sheep.

No I see it as racist in the context and the derogatory-intent.

So if you asked to describe someone from ****stan or India? My point is you would chose your words carefully wouldn't you.

I think you're confusing racism with political incorrectness. What the OP said isn't racist.

He's got the hits for those Thai girls so its not a derogatory comment.

For a start- stereotyping and an attempt at belittling/degrading if you want to go that way. Hes got the hits for those Thai girls? Many men have 'the hits' doesn't mean they've got any sort of respect for a female/the girl.

OP- do you have auto-remember/etc on your pc? Just saying mind..

Have sex with little brown Asian things.

I'm out. Keep your casual racism. Why do folk think its alright as long as you are laughing about it/cracking a joke at the sametime in a derogative way? What will you reply next 'no no its ok to do as we crack jokes about our own colour too you know'.

I didn't say it was alright, I said it isn't racism. It may be degrading, derogatory, etc but not casual racism. It's not the language you or I would use but it's still not racist.

It's racist if it is degrading or derogatory with reference to a specific racial group.

i.e. just like the comment in question

...does it need to be spelled out any more clearly?
