The French girlfriend

At a Japan guesthouse, a Thai-born woman adopted by French parents became his secret partner after they began sleeping together. Jealousy over her male friends caused a phone struggle, neck injury, breakup, and continued sex; messages revealed complaints, not infidelity. After five unhappy months in Japan, he left for Korea and his ex, deeply hurting her before their final goodbye.

He recognizes recurring insecurity and need for constant partner attention, explaining his preference for older, less-social women.
