I will share a real life story of my former vietnamese gf who is presently in the mist of filing for divorce from her husband. Let's call this vietnamese gal Vy.
Vy comes from a well-to-do political family in Ho Chi minh City. Being the eldest and only daughter in the family with a younger brother, Vy has been leading a good life since young. At the time when most vietnamese are suffering from the effects of poverty, she is already driven around by a driver cum armed body guard. Vy is a slim and sweet look gal and has all the while not lacking in suitors.
Vy met Tai when they were studying in Ho Chi minh city university. Tai is a handsome looking chap and comes from an above average family. Tai's family has several business in vietnam. Tai and Vy started to go as a couple from 2nd year of university onwards. Everybody praised the couple as tai is handsome and Vy is pretty and sweet, they look so compatible.
After University, both entered the working world. Tai got his favourite job as a sports reporter while Vy started an Overseas Studies Consultancy with her good friend. Tai started his frequent trips abroad for news reporting, sometimes he can be away for up to 6 weeks. Vy got lots of opportunities to know foreigner guys in her capacity as education consultant, but she was never really interested. In 2002, Vy started to feel very lonely as tai was never around when she needed him. Its their 4th year of relationship. Vy got to know a singaporean guy, SV. SV has just started his business and went to Vietnam to search for business opportunities. It was thru introduction from a common friend that SV got to know Vy. They were chatting on Yahoo messanger around 1 month before SV went over to Vietnam. Both felt good about each other and has also some idea of how each other look like.
When Vy met SV for the first time in HCM City, both were kinda attracted to each other. They got together for lunch that day. That same evening at around 9 plus at night, SV was in his hotel room when he got a call from Vy. They started chatting and this call was a long one, and it lasted till 3am in the morning. The next 1 year saw Vy and SV getting closer, SV knows that Vy is attached but Vy still wanted to give SV the opportunity to get close to her, both emotionally and physically. On the other hand, Vy's relationship with tai is getting somehow not as good as Tai is always flying here and there. But due to her family's reputation in the city, Vy could only meet SV once to twice a week at night. after sometime, SV got impatient and disappointed. He doesn't like to play hide and seek. At times when he needed VY so much, but she wasn't there for him.
It was also at that same time that Tai proposed to Vy. Tai's mother wanted them to get married as they have been together for so many years. But Vy was somehow undecided. She wanted to break away with tai and go with SV. But Vy's mother was very much against the idea of her having a foreigner bf. Everytime when Vy talked on the phone with SV, Vy's mother will frowned and even scold her. It was really a relationship that Vy's family doesn't want, but Vy really wanted to be with SV. In the meantime, SV got to know another pretty vietnamamese gal. She's a common lady and has come to the city to work many years ago. SV started to go with this other lady and after sometime, Vy got to know it. Vy was so jealous and somehow, the relationship between Vy and SV soured. 2004 January, SV decided to end the relationship with Vy and marry the other lady.
Early 2005, Vy married Tai. She thought that it is the best decision for her. SV was just a passing cloud in her life. When Vy got married, her father gave her a new house in the city. This house was equipped with the latest Audio room and equipments, best furniture etc. During late 2006, Vy's father started to have trouble with the bank. He had borrowed heavily from the bank to speculate in shares. He sold off 3 other houses in the city but wasn't able to pay off the debts. Vy was very worried. After sometime, Vy told her husband and wanted him to help. He paid a sum for his father in law but that wasn't enuff. he's really not too happy. At the same time, Vy was getting impatient with tai for helping his father too little. Their relationship soured. Tai started to look for another lady outside. Mid 2007, Vy found out that tai is having mistress outside and decided to file for divorce.
