Unhappy marriage life normally leads to a divorce.
But that doesn't mean that those who are still married to each other are happy with their relationship. There are factors such as kids (my parents seemed so happy with each other, but they finally had a divorce when my younger sister got into uni. My mum said it had been going on for a while but she didn't want to do it when she thought we weren't old enough and still dependant), traditions and culture. (for example, being humiliated by own relatives, friends or neighbours once they know you are divorced.)
Thais have lower divorce rates, true, but the reason is so obvious - "You are a wife. You have to put up with it for your own good"
Thai women aren't stupid. At least not those in here. When we have decided to settle down with someone, we have clearly considered every possibilities of our future lives.
Unfortunately, OP is right about some women seeing foreigners as god. But hang on, one needs to see where they are coming from. A woman does not usually wake up one day and says "I want a foreigner boyfriend" without any reasons.
Most women of that kind got the idea from their families - directly or undirectly. The poor tend to worship money and material regardless of its origin. They see "white scums" (in their own countries anyway) spending sh_t loads of money here but very few of them think about the fact that 70 baht in Thailand that can get you through a whole day is worth only 1 pound in the UK and wouldn't get you anything but a bottle of drink or a cone of chips perhaps. These people wants to be rich - everyone does. I wish I won a lottery but that's life isn't it? More educated type works hard to get where he wants whilst the rest try to find a shortcut. Sadly one of which is to find a rich partner.
I'm not sure I should agree with the bit that says western males have more responsibilities than Thai males because if I do, it would be unfair to my dad and others who work their arse off all day just to make sure their families can afford what they wants. However I hate to say, from own experiences, western males are much more respectful to us ladies. It is though because of the Thai culture that puts men in the first priority to women.
PS. I don't see why #37 had to bring up CU and TU although there might be some truth in it. I was a CU but my sis got into TU. First day she went to the welcoming freshers thing, she came home with all the joke about CU that had been told all day. I wondered what they did there to be honest. When I was in CU welcoming days, no one mentioned TU apart from our traditional footballs.
I don't think it's the jealousy though. Cu and TU are close friends and close friends joke about each other. That's normal. Let's leave our beloved universities out of this.
