Heartwarming story by Geezer on the Gaybutton forum

[sglad]

I came across this very heartwarming story by Geezer on the Gaybutton forum about his relationship with his Thai partner. Geezer ends his story by saying that he's won life's lottery. I think his partner shares the prize in having met someone as trusting, unselfish and easygoing as Geezer. Read it here:

A very touching story. I was truly moved by it. Sadly, I wonder - actually, I doubt that I would be trusting enough to allow the relationship to grow.

The part that touched me was that the "mostly" straight, young boy from BoyzBoyzBoyz, with the newly 50K baht in hand, immediately returned to his impoverished, imperfect parents and undoubtedly left it behind, and then committed to the elderly benefactor, thus repaying that debt.

We sometimes forget that so many of these working boys do what they do to help the most important of Thai values: their family.

Bucky, I agree. But, why assume "imperfect" ? Poverty in the countryside is hardly new.

[bucky13]

Because if you read closely, he said his father was an alcoholic and vowed not to follow down that path.
I'm not judging, but rather it emphasizes family ties, no matter the circumstance.

[bucky13]

thus the word "imperfect"

Is that Ok with you, paborn?

[paborn]

Actually, his father was an alcholic his mother might be a saint struggling to keep the family together. So, an imperfect home life but not, necessarily imperfect parents.

Interesting how many guys in the Gaybutton thread met THE guy 18 years ago. I too met the man of my dreams 18 years ago. And 15 years ago. And 11 years. And 7. And 4. And I"m hoping to go back this November. I'll probably be lucky again.

It is somewhat spooky for sure. Guess what our anniversary is this year ... yep, one more creepy 18'er in this corner.

" ... We sometimes forget that so many of these working boys do what they do to help the most important of Thai values: their family ... "Who forgets?

I think you'll find that a very large percentage of folks on this message board are incredibly in-the-know regarding Thai guys in the Sex Scene ~~ away from their homes ~~ taking care of their parents and grand parents as best they can: usually money, no matter how small, a digital ATM floating frenzy of Baht back to Isaan (and other provinces) from the Bangkok/Pattaya Shuffle.

"Forgetting?" Bullshit.
