Hold onto Your Husbands (excerpt from Bali Raw 2)



Beautiful Indonesia


Hold Onto Your Husbands

Married couples are retiring in Bali at an ever increasing rate. This would seem to make perfect sense. A couple, who has worked hard all their lives and built up a small nest egg, can retire to Bali and live out their golden years luxuriously and relatively cheaply. The people are friendly, the island is beautiful and the weather is perfect. But more importantly a reasonable lifestyle on the island can be achieved for as little as US $ 3000 a month. Bali could seem like a dream place to spend one's declining years. But unfortunately this may not be as simple as it may sound.

Retiring to a place like Bali can place a heavy burden on a marriage. There will be the expected pressures. The couple will have to adjust to different foods, different ways of paying bills, different driving habits and different laws for example. But then there may also be unexpected emotional strains applied to the relationship. And one of these pressures may be jealousy.

Western women considering retirement in Bali should think about the level of temptation that will be placed before their husbands on a regular basis. Bali is full of beautiful women, foreign and local alike. Any man living in on the island will be confronted regularly by beautiful young girls. He will see them wearing next to nothing and sitting astride motorbikes. He will notice them parading along the beach topless, or in bikinis that barely cover their lithe and lascivious bodies. And he will encounter them drinking in bars or dancing seductively in nightclubs. And these women are just the tourists. For a man, residing in Bali can be like living at the Playboy Mansion.

The beautiful and seductive young tourists are not the only problem. Then there are the stunning Indonesian girls who are ready with a smile and always willing to sit and chat. These women are not shy to approach an unaccompanied man. And although not all of them are planning some sort of sinister seduction, a number of these women have nothing but seduction on their minds. They are more than willing to steal a husband from unsuspecting Western women. To this type of woman, a rich Western man is the prize they have been seeking most of their lives. They couldn’t care less about his marriage status. They will weigh up what he has to offer and if he is deemed suitable, they will start making their take-over plans.

The female population of Indonesia, over the age of fifteen, is close to eighty million. If a woman retires to Bali with her husband and she is foolish enough to allow him to roam its streets alone, then she could be seen to be committing a form of marriage suicide. A woman contemplating this would be very wise to learn from Indonesian ladies. An Indonesian women involved in a relationship knows about her competition. She has to. She was once a competitor in this most ruthless of games. Regardless of his excuses she will never let he partner out of her sight. The risk of losing him is too high. She will keep constant tabs on her man and she will shadow him at any given opportunity.

An Indonesian woman will do anything in her power to keep other women away. A perfect example of this is the innocuous love bite or hickey. An Indonesian woman will randomly mark the neck of any man she is intimate with. She will not do this because she is overpoweringly caught up in the act of making love. She will do this as a warning sign for other women to keep away. For her the love bite is a dog pissing on a tree symbol of ownership. It is a message to her competitors that they had better stay away.
