Mail Order Wife

[LadyAria]

Anyone seen this documentary?

I was watching Starz the other night and this movie came on. I did't feel like finding the remote. So, I watched it. Oddly enough, it ends up having BDSM context in it.

This guy (A) gets a mail order bride from China. Twist is he develops a D/s relationship with the woman which he(A) video tapes and are shared with director. So, the documentary director (B) "saves" the girl. Things just get weirder from there. He (B) pays the husband for her divorce (buys her essentially). The girl is definitely too much from the guy (B) to handle. She flips out pyscho on him. He (B) sees himself as a hero though he cheats on his girlfriend, steals another man's wife and goes off the deep end to get stolen wife back from China. She tells him at the end (in broken English) he is a loser and to leave her alone.

Now, I'm wondering if it is me or do people automatically assume if a relationship is D/s then it is unhealthy? I was just amazed how they portrayed it was okay for him to "save" this woman since it was assumed abuse.

It is funny they originally paint her as a victim, but it is clear in the end she more then understands the hustle on these American men.

Wow, haven't seen it but am intrigued now. I used to work for a guy who had two of his friends Thai brides working for him in his factory. The girls were 'purchased' and put to work for crap wages & used to put themselves across as hard done to, but appreciative wives. People used to pity them because their husbands were very well off & there was no need for them to be working there.

On the other hand they always came in looking highly polished, dripping in jewellery, designer clothes etc. A few years down the line both divorced the men who had bought them, still live in the UK & walked away with handsome divorce payouts & I have the impression that they knew EXACTLY what they were doing!

That sounds interesting.

The oriental women I know have a way of making people think they are not powerful for a while. Meanwhile they are making things happen. Sometimes you wise up to that and sometimes you don't. It depends on if they want you too or not.

I happen to think a mail order bride of any country would have to be pretty pragmatic and tough to consider becoming such. They'd have to have goals and plans.

I do think most who are not into D/s even those that find parts of it hot to think about assume it is not part of a healthy relationship. I've seen it over and over in books and other forms.

LOL I was kidding K today about getting a mail order husband. I told him he could be the concubine, and the mail order husband would do the housework.

Well, you could form your own stable for all household duties I like that idea.
