The program "Son of a Wife" brings the audience an interesting love story between Le Thi Mai An (56 years old) and Burcsik David Joseph (70 years old, singer from Canada). Up to now, the couple has been married for 2 years.
Before coming together, the two had experienced events and broken marriages. According to the sharing, Mai An used to work at a shipping company. After " After breaking up debt" in 2010, she switched to a coffee shop to raise her child. That same year, she and her ex-husband had a conflict, began to separate and officially divorced in 2016.
Meanwhile, Mr. David Joseph has been through two marriages and has four children. He lived alone after his second wife died of cancer in 2016.
In 2020, through a dating app, Mai An met David Joseph. At that time, she was learning English online with the desire to improve herself and travel abroad. Despite language barriers and geographical distances, the two still maintained communication and built a relationship for two years before officially meeting in Vietnam.
Initially, the single mother did not have too much expectation for her relationship with David Joseph, so she only shared it with her mother and daughter and did not make it public. Because she was worried that her neighbors would be friendly if everything didn't work out. However, David Joseph has focused on this relationship. He shared that just a hug, a kiss is enough to know that Mai An will become his wife.
After the first meeting, David Joseph returned to Canada and sent a letter inviting Mai An to meet his family. However, because she had never been abroad, the single mother was not eligible to make the trip. Not discouraged, just two months later, David returned to Vietnam, supporting his girlfriend to contact the embassy to prove their relationship. However, due to his hot-temperedness, he had an argument during the process of working with the Embassy.
After that, he turned to ask Mai An: "Do you really love me? If there is, I will register my marriage." With David's sincerity and determination, Mai An realized that at this age, there is still a foreign man who wants to marry her, which is very appreciated, so she nodded in agreement.
After two years of living together, the couple has many things to look back on. The Vietnamese wife said that David Joseph was very hot-tempered and jealous, which made her want to break up many times. He was once angry just because his wife talked a lot to the taxi driver without translating for him. However, after each time like that, he knew his mistake and proactively apologized to his wife for her forgiveness.
Over time, both have learned to change to get along. David said he has now changed 70% compared to before. Although there is still a bit of jealousy and often staying up late, those are things that have improved thanks to the love and patience of Vietnamese women.
