I love this lakorn. All of them are flawed humans. No one is truly evil. It's the mistakes and decisions they make for the one they love that push them to be where they're at.
JaoNoy's Mom, WongDuen, and TienKham all contributed to JaoNoy's selfishness. The Mom never blamed or disciplined him. She spoiled him rotten. WongDuen did everything for him when he didn't deserve anything. TienKham gave herself to him so easily. All of the important women in his life never made him work for anything. All of them kept giving and giving and he kept taking and taking and became a monster who couldn't get enough. And yet they blame him for not seeing their worth? Well, easy comes, easy goes. These women allowed JaoNoy to determine their worth. WongDuen was nothing but a marriage of convenience. She knew that but still married him. TienKham would never be a legal wife yet still became his mistress. The Mom knew how much JaoNoy had wronged and lied to other people but still supported him. They all did it to themselves.
I love the story in that mistresses have their side to tell, too. They aren't always bad. All of us make mistakes. We can make up for them and move on in life like Galin.
Even today's age and time, wives go after the mistresses. They humiliate them, physically abuse them, and try to ruin their lives BUT they never do anything about the husband. They keep forgiving him and try to smile as if nothing happened. They keep dying in the fire all over again every time he cheats with a new girl. They act like they're okay and are immune to his cheating but it chips away at their peace and human side. They can lose their sanity but not their jerk husbands?! That's sad.
Gosh, girls. If you're single, go for single men. Why would you pursue someone else's husband? Why become that type of person? Karma is real. And have some dignity. Make him work for you. If he's serious, show you the divorce papers. Stop being so easy for a meal. 90% of the time, mistresses don't become the Mrs., learn from history. He already labeled you as a mistress and you willingly accepted it so why would he promote you to wifey when he's gotten what he wanted all along?! Okay, if he's lying to his wife and the world about you, keeping you in the dark, how the heck can you even trust him that he's going to divorce his wife and marry you? He's probably cheating on you with another chick. Haha. Men are selfish. They will cheat until they die. They get caught, wives forgive, they do it again. They don't love the mistresses either. Mistresses are there to fulfill their fantasies. They love living in different worlds. It gives them meaning and purpose. Hahha. Whether you're a wife to a cheating man or a mistress, you're losing out, so ladies, love yourself enough to say no to both.
