Empathy
I really sympathise with Mal. Whether you have been married for 12 months or 12 years it is always a "surprise" to find out that your wife is somewhat different from the person you thought you had married. But unfortunately once the trust and respect have gone there is not much left.
I am not wise enough to comment directly on Mal's situation but you can feel the force of his anxiety and perhaps he might be comforted to know that his path has been well trodden before although that hardly makes it better.
I was quite saddened by this tale as it seems to reinforce the thai girl stereo type. But I just hope that he will recover quickly and there is nothing like a quick trip to Patong to help the healing process..
