"The husband of the 'assistant couple' revealed a serious love for alcohol."
On the 9th, the MBC variety program 'Oh Eun-young Report - Marriage Hell' featured a wife who acts according to her husband’s instructions while being cautious at every moment and a husband who finds the passive and inefficient wife frustrating.
The husband picked up a bottle of alcohol from the weekend morning. The wife explained, 'It's normal to drink while eating. I drink every day without fail for a year. I drink more on weekends,' and soon revealed a stash of alcohol, shocking everyone. Even in a serious situation, the husband downed a bottle of soju in no time and explained that he doesn't think he is an addict, stating that there is no problem.
When asked what he thought about alcohol addiction, the husband confidently replied, 'I have reduced it. I increased the alcohol content while reducing the amount. I drink a lot, but I'm not addicted. I just drink better than others. My health is fine.'
Moon Se-yoon noted, 'I think it's a bit concerning for a father of three to drink every day,' and the husband responded, 'If I don't drink, I can't sleep. The next day is greatly affected. I'm afraid I won't be able to wake up if I take sleeping pills.' Jeon Min-ki said, 'Honestly, I cannot accept what the husband is saying.'
The wife expressed concern to her husband about his drinking, saying it felt like he would die, but the husband sarcastically replied, 'Dying is hopeful. From my perspective, it would be a good thing.'
The wife revealed her worry, saying, 'I don’t have the confidence to raise our children alone. It gets harder as we age. It's overwhelming even now.' She continued, 'My husband says he doesn't want to live long. It feels exhausting. Today, my first child's toenail was raised and bled. Even at the hospital, I can't manage alone. If something happens, my only support is my husband. I wish he would quit drinking to live longer. He is an irreplaceable presence.'
The wife continuously shared her troubles with her husband, but all she received in response was his verbal abuse. In the end, she drowned her lonely heart in alcohol. The wife had filled her phone with notes, having started a diary from January this year. She recorded instances when she felt hurt by her husband's words. When the content was revealed, everyone was shocked. She had documented not just her husband’s actions but increasingly her own escalating feelings as well.
The wife, who stated that she had lost all control of her emotions after giving birth, began to curse at passing residents. She shed tears while saying, 'I think about death more often.' Oh Eun-young remarked that the wife's depression is serious and explained that the greatest cause of her depression is her husband's drinking.
Oh Eun-young stated, 'I prepared a prohibition order. The husband is forbidden from speaking harshly or dismissively to his wife. While the husband shows some optimism, he is repressing deep frustration and anxiety through alcohol and harsh words. It is not beneficial for the children to witness such behavior. They learn from their parents. Respecting the wife ensures the children also respect their mother.' She added, 'No more alcohol. Channel the energy spent on drinking towards the wife and children.'
