Crossy Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Dear Bel I'm a truck driver who still works a 15-hour day at 73. In my 20s, I married a posh girl I loved because she was skinny. (I hate myself for this, but if a girlfriend put on weight I'd engineer a split.) We had two children I loved, but she had an affair. A while later I met a lovely girl called Pat who was 7½ st. Over the years her weight doubled, so we split up but remained friends... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-13120823/BEL-MOONEY-wrong-leave-wife-Thai-romance.html 3 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat is a type of crazy Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 If true then, though unsavoury, he likely has helped the Filipino girl get a good life in England, with a probably a good paying job to send money home. She gets her freedom now and doesn't have years having to take care of an aging guy so not so bad. Assuming she doesn't madly love the old guy which I think is not a strong likelihood. Looks like he's spent a lot of money already on kids and family - Thai lady may end up disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Fat is a type of crazy Posted February 25 Popular Post Share Posted February 25 What a shocker website full of ads and pop ups and crap. Daily Mail reminds me of Joe Jackson song: Mother doesn't go out anymore Just sits at home and rolls her spastic eyes But every weekend through the door Come words of wisdom from the world outside If you want to know 'bout the bishop and the actress If you want to know how to be a star If you want to know 'bout the stains on the mattress You can read it in the Sunday papers 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandtee Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 So who is your wife going to have a two week romance with? And what are you going to do for two weeks?😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GammaGlobulin Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Two weeks is not enough. I left my wife/wives about 43 years ago. Best decisions I ever made. Leaving for two weeks is pointless....because...then... You must worry about your return. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from some medical conditions there is no reason for someone to go from being slim to being fat, other than greed and laziness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunPer Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I have home-country friends that leaves their family for a two week Thai romance – some of them did it at some point every year – it actually saved their marriages, and was thereby a benefit for the family. I'm pretty sure the wives knew what was going on, even it was never spoken about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
