Seven Year Itch, Thai style

Dear Hillary,

Last week you had another tale of woe from someone who found out that their Thai wife had been having an affair after 10 years.  That’s not so surprising, as in the west we have the “Seven Year Itch”, so it is likely that the same happens here, but Thailand’s women are three years behind.  Do you agree, Hillary?

John

Dear John,

You are using some false statistics, my Petal.  Not all straying away from the western marital bed occurs at exactly seven years, just as the same can be said about Thai marriages at 10 years.  All that you can say is that after many years, either partner can stray (yes, John, husbands as well as wives, and probably even more so).  A sad statistic for many, but by continuing to build on any relationship is needed as time goes on.  Think about it.
