Maybe that is why I've been a little reluctant in attending the Indonesian mix couple gatherings in Jakarta. I hear you on the little respects of marriage institution some women have here. My own parents marriage has been going through so much just because some girl had a different interpretation of my father's friendly way or carrying himself at work. Then you got, cinta ditolak, dukun bertindak actions. Just read your blogs, Anita and I can really feel your pain. Thanks for sharing and your kind words. Hugs!

As I had lived for almost 10 years in Jakarta, I've yet to experienced what you have described. What I have seen so far (although didn't experience it, thankfully), is stealing/seducing-someone-else's-boyfriend/spouse saga. It seems like some Indonesian ladies have little respect on relationships and marriage institution, and have no dignity at all when it comes to grabbing a better chance. I too had broken-up with <a href="http://finally-woken.com/2005/04/certain-friendships-dont-last-forever/" rel="nofollow">best friends</a> too. And just like what you said, it was as hurtful as breaking-up with a spouse. In fact, it was this incident that triggered me to write a blog. It took me quite sometime to overcome the fact that I was dumped. A few years later <a href="http://finally-woken.com/2008/06/certain-friendships-dont-last-forever-2/" rel="nofollow">she actually texted me, begging me to be her friend again</a>. For my own sanity, I didn't reply her text :) Hang in there, sis! Goodness! As I had lived for almost 10 years in Jakarta, I’ve yet to experienced what you have described.
