    I’m the breadwinner too, wake up early. Thai husband sleeps in til 9:30-9:45. He is kind, and a good father with our son. Not a heavy drinker nor gambler. I know I can’t have it all, and am grateful.

    When Wat settled into Bangkok and made friends he was happy, he gained weight and looked healthier, ever since you’ve come back from the trip with your ( mom and dad) he’s lost the weight and he never smiles. I think he misses having fun with his friends too. I hope he finds his happiness.

      Yes - well said. Be real and genuine - struggles and all. I used to think I had to be ‘winning’ in order to show Christ to people. …but I’ve learned that sharing struggles, hardships and tough times with honesty whilst focusing on the Lord to get me through was more powerful than any ‘perfect life’ I could try to live. Keep being authentic and share each other’s burdens.
      It does seem that Wat is struggling and there are so many legitimate reasons for it. He’s lost his dad, his work, his life as he knew it, his life has changed with a new baby and your new work and calling. He’s lost some of his roles and had to pick up others…Change- even change for the good can be a stressor that can contribute to feeling down.
      Keep encouraging him - letting him know you’re in his corner. Keep respecting him for the good man that he is. Respect is so implant all the more needed when we feel we aren’t doing or being what we were previously.
      Keep fighting the good fight and remember that we don’t fight against flesh and blood but against the evil powers that threaten us (physically, mentally, spiritually) Ephesians 6:12
      ❤ blessings to you and your family

    Hi Lilly,
    You are so wise to have Wat make the decisions regarding reopening the restaurant and the restaurant menu. Having a purpose and a passion in life are both so important, as is making our own decisions about our purpose and passion.
    I admire your courage to put a word to how Wat is feeling. 'Depression'and 'depressed' can be hard words to say aloud. I don't know Wat, but he has definitely appeared disengaged and depressed. He is fortunate to have you - a supportive and thoughtful life partner. You always acknowledge Wat"s strengths such as being a wonderful father - way to go Lilly.
    Best to all of you. I wish continued success with your TH-cam channel and success to Wat's reopening of the restaurant.
    Cheers and best to your lovely children and Nam. ❤️

    I am soon to be 66 years old and at age 44 became a widow when my 49 year old husband died suddenly from a heart attack. Our 15 year marriage was not perfect, but I can tell you even during the lowest points my life was much better when my husband was sharing it with me even during the times when I was the solo bread winner and my husband got laid off several times from his job which he too felt lack of purpose when not gainfully employed. As a now retired R.N. who worked with many depressed patients, a red flag for evolving clinical depression is excessive sleeping, lack of purpose, and loss of interest in activities that at one time were enjoyable. If you think depression may be an issue with your husband get him the appropriate help before it worsens and is much harder to treat.

      (What wifely duties does She provide for him as a man's wife, besides sex.) His heart didn't seem into her pushy forced- on-my-camera reply. She seems to THINK she IS better. She allegedly came in and set herself up in His country off his back and touring guide introductions; mixed-raced children; and manhood. (Allegedly, seems to dictates where they live like a MS. Anne.)
      Christian wives who read the WORD understand the role of the husband and wife. (You become one with YOUR husband.) NOT one with your mom, sister and your combined family business in YOUR own homeland. Should we THINK allegedly "USING someone else for your own selfish gains?"

      She WAS interested in restaurants (like she and her White partner owned in the states.) That WAS her dream NOT his. Now she wants him to be a footman while she determines her restaurant's direction. THEN LAUGHING at him with her nanny/ housekeeper AND his children. Allegedly, seems to be a type of setup. Now she can bail out, she has inroads into his culture and economy, mixed-Thai children and a stateside business with her mom and sister PLUS she is accusing him of being lazy. But she has the nanny? He was doing fine before he met her. Sounds like colon***** to me..

    First of all your content is beautiful and authentic. I love how you instill back into society that struggles are part of a healthy family dynamics mixed with your success. Way too often we only see the edited version of contrived success in many content throughout all platforms of social media. This gives false sense of how life should be and that is unfortunately what so many young impressionable people are measuring themselves against. Your love and support for your family is showing the realness of life. I'm not a doctor nor do I hold any degrees in psychology but it appears that he is suffering from depression rather than laziness. Depression can suck all the energy out of a person. He is clearly grieving the loss of his father and prior to that the shutdown of his business during the pandemic. Though I'm certain your success with TH-cam is something he greatly admires because he admires and loves you, perhaps he's trying to find his success in all this as well. Maybe what he does not realize is even though its not him doing all the filming and all the wonderful things that you do he too is a great part of this channels success. As a person who works in entertainment and searches for content for TV and film I assure him that he's plays a huge part in this channels success. Your content is about family and your relationship without him there would be a huge missing part in this channel and it 's branding. Gently remind him that his journey even though it has it's challenges is great content. Find what he truly loves, Is it creating culinary magic? If it is help him create a youtube platform that is about his recipes and cooking, the dynamics of running a restaurant in an exotic location. That alone is great content! We already know him from this channel you can together create the next big "thing" through food. Everyone loves a good cooking channel. You are an amazing producer, produce that for him and expand your brand. I hope this helps! I'm rooting for all of you. I love this channel it's so wholesome and we need more of that in our world. Thank you for welcoming us into your lives your hard work adds beauty to our world.

Actually it is much healthier for the brain and body, if we control our thinking and go with the flow. I am also not a person who likes to put up a happy face for people. I like to be myself. He is standing his ground. He wants to be himself. Lilly is doing a great job anyway. Things do become like this in a marriage. It's not always romantic and exciting. In the west we are brainwashed by movies and the media to what a happy marriage should be. Just accept that entertainment is going to be your job. He tried. Things will work out anyway.

    Hello Lilly, what a joy to see you on this video. I saw all the members of your family.
    From the beach and looking at Koh Phangan at a distance, and to see all the greenery, coconut trees and the mountains and clear crystal waters. That makes me think life is worth while living. Those fruits that Wat was taking from the tree. I think it is called Chickoo. When I come next year, I want to see that gadget that Wat had. So I can make one to get my mangoes. Lilly by the end of this week, you should have received my letter, and the recipe books. Please acknowledge it, so I know it has reached you. Very sad news this week of Lisa Marie Presley, and today Gina Lollabridgeda passed away. She was 95 years young. I am up between 3.30 and 4.00am every morning. I work till about 10.30am, come in have my breakfast, shower and sit down to watch anything that Lilly has put out for me to watch. In your bar, if you have any Tia Maria or Irish Cream. Please check it, as those liquers are made of milk. I had them, and they went off. Take care, stay safe, keep smiling, and all God's blessings on you, Wat your precious kids, and Nam. When you go to bed at nights, Go to sleep with a smile on your face, and you will wake up with a smile next morning. Yes I like the dresses you wear. You remind me of Cher, Love you all.
