When Bo Surattanavee or Bo TK appeared on the “Club Friday Show” produced by CHANGE2561 on Saturday, 20 June 2020 GMT+7 at 10:00 a.m. on One31 channel, she candidly recounted her 11-year marriage, betrayal from day one, which led to the phrase 'avatar body.' She described double misfortune with a broken love life and a uterine tumor diagnosis that once made her contemplate suicide.
From close friend to new love, Bo Surattanavee’s story raises the question: how does someone with past wounds handle love? She admits she can’t stay single because she knows herself well and is confident, unafraid to start over. Her lesson: no matter how deeply you love, always keep some heart reserved for yourself.
Bo Surattanavee: Not many know that I actually divorced a long time ago. I was married for 11 years. Everything was fine until one bright morning, out of the blue, he confessed he had feelings for another woman.
But at that time, you were still his wife?
Bo Surattanavee: Yes, I was shocked.
So that’s where the term 'avatar body' came from?
Bo Surattanavee: He said he created an avatar to be with me. He apologized for betraying me from day one. The more he confessed, the deeper the pain. Every word made tears fall, and when he turned to speak to me, it felt even more irritating.
After the broken relationship, what else happened?
Bo Surattanavee: Another issue came up when I was very stressed—I had stomach pain and was diagnosed with a uterine tumor.
How did you cope with that?
Bo Surattanavee: I couldn’t handle it. I cried uncontrollably; the tears just kept flowing without stopping.
How deep was the psychological impact?
Bo Surattanavee: I was devastated. I even had suicidal thoughts.
And that’s when your hero entered the picture?
Bo Surattanavee: It was a close male friend who kept telling me not to worry and that when I turned 60, I could live with him. He stayed by my side until I got better, then jokingly asked if I wanted to try dating at 50. I said I was just joking, but he said, 'I have my own scars, so don’t hurt mine.'
Looking back at your broken love, did you ever fear starting a new relationship? Were you scared of getting hurt again?
Bo Surattanavee: Not at all. I know myself well and am confident that I’m not someone who can stay single.
What lesson about love would you like to share with everyone?
Bo Surattanavee: I want people to reserve part of themselves. When I got married, I thought one plus one equals one, but it’s not true. You have to keep about 30 percent of yourself. I’m not saying don’t love fully—70 percent should be full—but keep 30 percent reserved for yourself.
