I have toyed with the thought of posting this thread for sometime. I have met several farang / Thai couples since I have been living here that have made me wonder how much he must lover her. I will share my last three incidents with you and then I invite you to post your thoughts.

Couple #1 - I know a farang that has been married to a Thai lady for several years. She was in a pretty bad accident that has left her paralyzed. Mrs. Chi and I were impressed by his actions towards her. He refuses to employ a nurse and cares for her daily. He feeds her, bathes her etc. He takes her out all of the time for walks lovingly pushing her along in a wheelchair. The accident happened after he married her and to this day he professes his undying devotion to her.

Could you stay?

Couple #2 - I know a pretty rough farang that is married to a former bar girl. He drinks quite a bit and runs around. She fell off a motorbike a couple of years back and walks like the gimp in Deadwood. She has slept with a few of his farang friends. he says she puts up with his drunkenness, verbal abuse and whoring around. He told me that he does not hold her cheating against her, as he does it too. In a drunken state he once told me that she gave him herpes, but he still loves her and is with her for life.

Could you love her?

Couple # 3 - This was the one that really shocked me and touched Mrs. Chi's heart. We met a farang and his Thai wife earlier this year on holiday in Thailand. He is a professional from the UK and she is a very sweet, sweet Thai lady. She has such a pretty face and is very petite. She walks a bit funny and has a large hump on her back like the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Over lunch one day, he told me with a tear in his eye, "You know Chi, I never really notice her deformity as her sweetness covers it all."

Could you love a girl with a deformity like that?

Would you even give her a second look or take the time to even get to know her?

Serious comments please.
