My husband is an EX monk (base on a true story)

[sarN]

....with fabrication -- i'll make it short ok girl

I'm 42 years old married with 3 beautiful kids and my husband is an ex monk . He very quiet , humble , strict , well manner , smart , serious, and many more that opposite of me. My skin is white as snow while his is dark like the bottom of the pot . Sometime I hate him and sometime I love him . I was 25 years old when I married him , 38 ! It was innocent lost to an older man indeed !! He was a cow chewing on fresh grass !! I consider myself to be very pretty for my age . I'm 42 but I look as if im 30 , seriously and since my husband is very dark ...he age slow.

I have a younger friend name sarN . Nice kid. I meet her at the temple back then she was in her early teen . Most kid that see me call me 'Aunty' but not her . She call me 'Sonyna !'? . That was consider rude to call an elder by their first name but I take it as a compliment . I consider myself very young and beautiful still , even though im 20 years older than her . From that day on I know we'll be close . She was the best friend I ever have . I wish she was born during my time .

At 42 , I still act just like a teenager but only in front of family and friend not around stranger or my husband 's friend . Since he an ex Monk lots of people know him and respect him . He is very well known in the temple community and we goes to lots of religious function . I have to act mature and humble everything because I don't want to embarrass my husband if they know how unlady like I am . It frustrating at time being a wife of a well known monk . I have to wear a mask all the time when im around his people or out in public . Im afraid of rumor that might ruin his reputation and he always tell time after time not to laugh to loud in public . It hard . I thought of divorcing him ! There at least 10 guy line up to marry me , seriously . They even ask me to elope with them but I stay fateful to my husband . He know it too because I tell him and he never get jealous but instead he use one of his Buddha teaching on me ---it a sin to commit adultery. It scar me all the time when he does that . We don't talk much to each other . He boring and if we talk it about Buddha teaching . Yawn . He have lots of friends !! EX monk too ! When he around his friend he will talk non stop but with me just a few line . He no fun at all .

I like hanging with my friend , sarN. We go skating , fishing , wall climbing and many thing together . I would leave my kids with my husband just to go out with her . I regret marrying my husband . If I know life after marriage was this strict , I rather be single . I was trick into marriage . Let me tell you how I end up marrying an ex monk....

My family came to American when I was 14 years old. I have 3 oldest sisters and 1 younger sister. We live in a small apartment that the government helps us settle down and there at least 20 Asians family in the community. I was a wild child and spontaneous! I fight with little boys and curse the living hell out of them. Yes, I was very mean and bad mouth. The government registers me as freshmen in high school and I don't speak a word of English. I was in those special ESOL class. American kids are very rude they would laugh at me for bringing home made food to lunch. I ate my rice with chicken using my hand in pride and I even bring fish sauce. My hand was stinky after lunch and my teacher think I don't bath. They even call my parent but they don't understand English. They came alright but only nodded their head as the principle explain about my odor .
No and Yes is all they can say .

My first fight at school was near the end of the year. I was standing in line taking class picture . My outfit was either second hand or home made . We were poor and have no car yet. I was wearing a Asian blue sarong that fold to one side and a white collar shirt that button all the way to the top . I don't wear tennis shoe yet only flip flop even during winter I wear it but with sock. Yes. FOB. This one black boy keep laughing at me . Even though I don't understand half of what he saying but I know he making fun of my clothes. He came up to me and yank my braid hair . I let it slide because im in school . He did it two or more time but on the fourth time I kick his ball --- hard . He kneel to the floor in pain . I smile . Yes I get in trouble but I didn't care and my parent doesn't understand what they saying either .

It wasn't till i was in my senior year I dress and look more fashionable. I discover Wal-Mart . My English was getting good and I make friends. I jointed ROTC and I love it . I told my parent I want to join the air force but they say no . Girls must not join military. I curse at them big time and slam the door but they didn't care because I have to come out for lunch in an hour. My older sister sprains her ankle while playing soccer and from that day on she walk with a limp. I tease her all the time and make her cry everyday . I was a bad younger sister. My mom was afraid no man will marry her because she is 21 and still single . Girls back then they expect you to marry by 16 . There this one older guy that love my sister and my mom quickly tell him to marry her away out the house . My oldest sister cry for 7 days not wanting to marry and my mom would hit her -- not very abusive , just with a chop stick on the butt and leg . She broke 10 chop stick till my sister stop crying.

They were marry 1 month later . I remember my sister was in tear and I would laugh at her . I said "with that bad leg of your , no good guy will want you . He the best you can get !!"? I was very mean. I remember my mom yank my ear out the ceremony. I found out later they didn't consume their marriage till 2 week later because my sister would use her good leg to kick him off the bed . They have 6 kids .

The apartment we live in only have 2 room . I sleep on the living room floor and my clothes are in my sister room . I hate sleeping there because I have to wake up early every morning because visitor can walk in on anytime. I wonder when we going move out of this place and I hate our neighbor they talk to much about our family. Just because there girls in the house and only my father is a male they think me and my sister is going run off with some guy in the community one day . There this one asian lady in particular her name is Pan . She is like the fastest mouth in the east. The apartment complex we live in is like a Asian village everyone can just walk into their house with out any warning . Pan would come over and talk to my mom about me . Saying I curse to much not caring who the elder and who not . No good guy will marry me . I remember I call her 'bitch' several time in English . The lady just smile when I say it ---she doesn't know English .

During this time period everyone love going to the temple . It was the closest thing to home and keep the religious alive . I hate going to the temple but I have too because I was the only one with a license to drive in the house . At the time , my dad couldn't past the driving test but that didn't stop him from driving to work everyday . He was arrested 5 time before he got his license. Every weekend I have to drive my mom and 6 old Granny to the temple . The car was a 1975 Toyota , a toy car compare to now but it fit five people in the back seat and 2 in the passenger seat ---luckily im the driver so nobody can block my view . When we arrive at the temple everyone was relief and rush out like a circus clown. While the little granny off to their praying and conversation with the monk I decided to walk around the house temple. The yard is HUGE 20 acre at least . The monk have a little garden at the side of the house and there was pepper , onion , lime grass , cucumber, pumpkin ect ect . I grab a stick and start hitting the little hot pepper plant . Yes . I like to destroy thing and at the time I wasn't aware I was being watching from up above

When it time to go my mom want me to meet the monk and kowtow them . I refuse cause I feel uncomfortable around monk . I consider myself a very sinned person with all the cursing I done .My mom yank my ear in the house against my whinnying . One monk said "it not nice to destroy what one work so hard for " . I know exactly what he meant and I was embarrass. We left the temple and cram ourself inside the car . Once we got home my mom told me, starting next week i will teach English at the temple . I protest and say im busy . My mom yell at me for being a bad Buddhism . I have no choice but to agreed to waste my summer at the temple

My second oldest sister was also force to marry . Our parent want to get rid all of us. They say "if you are over 20 you an old maid and daughter is like a toilet in front of the house the longer it stay there the worst it smell " . First come first serve, any guy that come to ask for our hand in marriage mom will hand us to the guy in gold plate. Like my oldest sister she also cry for days . The guy was ugly I shiver when I first saw him . He came over for dinner to see my sister . Mom have to hit her with a chop stick just to make her put on a red lip stick because my sister is very boyish her eye brow is a size of my thump. She didn't have any dress at the time and she have to wear my mom . I laugh so hard that day . I was bad . I keep teasing her and say "you look like a granny" .The man like my sister very much and say she was pretty . I couldn't eat after that and excuse myself from the table . Since I didn't have a room I goes to my parent room and watch lakorn .

On the wedding day most of the neighbor came to help. Some wasn't even invited but they come anyway and pretend to know us . My sister run away that morning. I would too . He was that ugly , kids. It was the most shameful thing ever . Everyone in the community talk about her for years . They say she a slut - not true the only dress she own is my moms ! Some say she run off with a guy -- not true it the guy that run off when see her . Pan say she probable pregnant and embarrass to marry the guy -- not true my sister is a little over weight at 230 but not pregnant . She didn't came home till middle night . My mom broke 2 case of chop stick that night . We found out later she was at the playground down the street from the apartment .That night my mom drag me out to knock at every asia apartment in the community and tell them the wedding will continue tomorrow . We make up a lie that my sister was downtown at the police station because she didn't carry a green card when they ask for ID. She marry him and they have 3 kids .

I no longer have to sleep in the living since 2 of my sister is marry and living with their husband . My third sister was also scar of marriage and she fear she can't escape with our parent wanting to get rid us . Back then marriage was up to the parent and we have no choice in the matter . What they say goes . There many guys in the community that love me . I was very pretty but I was mean . I even have one guy name Sompo , cry in front of my door for me to marry him and I was so mad because it was embarrassing . I grab a broom and hit him - hard but I only make him cry louder . My dad have to come out and kick him in the mouth . My mom didn't want me to get marry yet because I was working and bring home money .

That summer every weekend I goes to the temple with 6 granny cram in my 1975 Toyota . It surprise me the car never break down and spill them out .My car have 4 window but only 1 is working on the passenger side . There was countless time I was suffocating with the smell of fart from one or two of the granny . They were old I understand and we're heading to the temple so I must control my tempter the best way I can. Once we there the granny approach the house and do their praying or whatever it is that old people do . The class I was suppose to teach English to is full of granny and grandpa . To get their monthly federal money they must goes to some kind of English class for 3months . Back then any problem that have to do with the government the community people will goes to the temple for help . My job is to teach them enough English to sign their name on the federal check and some simple greeting. Easy and I get pay .

I was love by those old people. I consider myself to be very funnies and entertaining . I love to joke around . One day a monk came to my class . Most the time when I come to the temple I goes straight to class room trying to avoid seeing any monk . I don't hate them -- I just feel uncomfortable around them because I consider myself very sinned . He was the darkest monk I ever seen with pout out lip the size of 2 thump. He sit in the back of the room and watch me teach the old folk to say "How you do?" , "I'm ok , how about you?" ---- for 1 hour and the class is only 1hr long .

I found out later from one of the granny his name is 'Sakrip' he was a monk since he was 5 years old , so basically all his life . He is the youngest monk in the temple but have the highest rank . He know 5 difference language and have study in India for 6 years . Everyone in the community love and respect him . Honestly , I thought he was scary looking cuz he was so dark . I keep having that thought in my head so every time I see him I walk the other way . I afraid he can read my mind .

That summer my third sister was force to marry one of the guy in our apartment complex. Yes. She cry . Yes my mom hit her . No, she didn't run away but she pretend to have a seizure on the wedding day . While everyone was worrying about her and shaking her to snap out of it - I was laughing in the corner . The groom was so scar he run upstairs to his house . Rumor and gossip among the community is that she a husband killer . My parent didn't take her to the hospital at the time we didn't have Medicare or insurance if you get sick it either monkey palm or Advil . The wedding was cancel and we end up giving all the money back to the groom . My mom was so embarrass she didn't went to play card with the neighbor for over 3 week .Even though my third sister didn't marry the guy upstairs but she end up marrying her co-worker from the chicken factory 2 month later . They have 7 kids. No kidding . I even buy a kid from them to do my income tax.

There was only me and my baby sister , 6 years old. My parent would tell me “ it either you work pay bill or get marry” . At the time I hate boy and I think all of them is disgusting . There was several guy in the apartment complex that flirt with me because I was the prettiest one in the community but the meaniest too . There this one guy his name is Tip . He always sit on a chair in front of his apartment door shirtless wearing a asian male sarong wrap around his waist that reach to his kneel .Back then asian guy like to walk around shirtless it make them feel like home . The America people thought they were sex offender and warn their kids not to play with the asian kids in our community .Tip have a crush on me and he know what time I get off from work so he would wait outside . He would call out “Sonyna, you look pretty today” I hate his face so much . One time I throw a huge stick at him and scratch his nipple big time. He was in pain and run in side to find monkey palm . I didn’t see him for days .

The girls was jealous of me because I was beautiful that why they want to be my friend . They ask me how to put make up on and dress sexy . Back then , sexy was wearing neon color dresses like red , green , yellow , orange or dresses with flower and short sleeve blouse. Most girls was wearing asian sarong and long sleeve collar shirt walking around with flip flop in the community . Not me -- I discover heel and spandex . So it not surprising I was the hotiest chic around . People gossip about me saying work was an excuse for me to see boy at night because nobody dress that sexy on a job . I curse at the lady that talk behind my back “ …if I were to work in a chicken factory and dress sexy . Yes, im looking for boy . You want me to slap that old head of your !” My mom have to pull me out from the lady apartment . My mom lecture me all day about disrespect elder . The next morning I throw egg at her door .

I was that wild in the community but at the temple everyone love me . I act difference when I go there . Probable because it a holy place and im afraid to be sinned .The black monk that vist my class the other day came again . I feel uncomfortable when he around and I want to curse at him but it a sin ! I hate being around holy people because I have bad thought and crazy image . He was ugly and scary looking . I was teaching my class ABC . Three letter for an hour. When it was time to leave the black monk came up to me “…beauty from the outside is a mask but beauty from the inside is more meaningful ..” and he walk away . It was scary . I thought he can read my mind . I shiver , that why I avoid seeing monk they creep me out .
