Katya & The Prince of Siam

I think that when you say that she has done nothing wrong, you are exaggerating somewhat. Everyone has said that she was encouraging you. Some people have even said that she seduced you and if she behaved in front of me as if she was your wife, then of course that is very wrong. But let’s not dwell on this matter. You say that you want to be yourself but over the past 12 years, have I made you feel so uncomfortable? It is true that I have tortured you over this last few months, but you must understand how I feel. In the past we were truly one, sharing all our thoughts and feelings together. Of course, I am heartbroken to learn that you want to live in a different way, but I have never stopped you doing anything, because I have no right to stop you. But I do ask you one thing – for some compassion. Think of me as a sick person whose only medicine is you. I will try to ensure that your life is calm and happy. I won’t make a scene any more when you say you want to work or read the newspaper. I will not beg you to leave your work to come and have lunch or tea with me. All I ask is for you to be true and faithful to me as you were in past. After we had talked and you decided to continue seeing her, you saw how your decision destroyed me. How could I act as normal when I realised that you attached no importance to our happiness and that of our son, as well as my health, all so that she could have a good time. The rumours have increased and what will Prince Rajburi say when he hears that you have gone to her house because she can’t come to ours. By visiting her in this way you have encouraged the view that you want to leave me. I can’t bear it and will leave with no money at all if you don’t wish to give me any. It would be much better for me to go and work anywhere, rather than endure such a life with you carrying on in this fashion. You want to try and make me seem jealous by not allowing her to come to the house.
