On the 3rd, the broadcast of 'Oh Eun-young Report - Hell of Marriage' featured a husband who thought about divorce due to the repetitive couple fights and a wife who believed her husband's demand for divorce was irresponsible, presenting the 'Doldori couple'. They were a historically significant 'Kkaebut' (broken and re-bonded) couple that had reconnected more than 20 times in a month since their 8-year-long relationship. They successfully navigated through numerous difficulties to achieve marriage; however, there were serious problems between the couple to the point of considering separation again. What kind of healing report did Dr. Oh Eun-young diagnose for the couple seeking divorce?

After a busy day, the family of three gathered at the dinner table. But does the husband naturally bring out alcohol? The husband, who drank alcohol as if it were water, proceeded to have a second round alone after the family finished dinner. The husband had a drinking problem that had simmered since before their marriage. During their dating period, there were instances where he passed out drunk on the streets and was robbed, and two years ago, he jaywalked while incredibly drunk with their 5-year-old daughter. For 29 out of the 30 days in a month, the husband drank alcohol! Due to his excessive drinking, he recently fell and had to treat four of his front teeth. Furthermore, he was involved in a major accident that resulted in a 12-week injury from being hit by a moving taxi, but he couldn’t remember the incident clearly at all... The wife said the husband was an 'alcoholic', but the husband insisted that alcohol was a reward for himself after a good day's work and confidently claimed he was a 'drinker'.

However, Dr. Oh Eun-young gave a strong admonition, stating that seeking alcohol again despite experiencing life-threatening serious incidents corresponds to 'alcohol addiction'. MC Park Ji-min noted that he had seen many participants struggling with alcohol, but the husband was at a particularly alarming level. Dr. Oh Eun-young pointed out that if the husband continues to think indulgently about alcohol as he does now, the most concerning part would be his relationship with his children. If children witness their parent being frequently intoxicated, everything the parent says may sound like drunken ramblings, so recognizing one's drinking habits is a priority.

The next day, the husband proposed a drinking session with his wife rather than drinking alone. He brought up the issue of living expenses during an alcohol-fueled truth time. Despite a monthly income of 5 million won, the fixed living expenses are 6 million won, leading to a deficit in their household. In the past, the couple experienced miraculous investment success, turning an initial capital of 70 million won into 4 billion won in just four months. They enjoyed a life of abundance without worrying about living expenses for four years, but the husband ended up with significant debt after quitting his main job and making aggressive investments. Currently, the investment debt alone amounts to 100 million won! Consequently, the husband requested his wife to reduce the living expenses of 3.1 million won he gives her.

However, while urging to overcome things together, the wife stated she could not pay off the investment debts. She mentioned that she had been urging him from the start to save money separately when he invests and expressed that since it was a personal failure, she could not understand why her money should go towards paying off her husband's debts. The husband felt hurt by the wife's remark that the investment profits were spent on family needs rather than for other personal uses but that he must bear the consequences of failure alone. Ultimately, the husband even signed documents notifying his wife of the divorce. The wife stated that not only was her hard work in household chores not acknowledged, but also that she felt no desire to help pay off debts because her husband blamed her for the investment failure.

Dr. Oh Eun-young, who had been keenly observing the wife, posed a sharp question: "Do you think having money means you won't be disregarded by your husband?" The wife replied that she had no choice but to be financially prepared because of her husband, who she did not know when he might hand her the divorce papers. The husband shared that he often thought about wanting a day of peace amidst frequent couple fights, ultimately leading him to consider divorce as a solution to their conflicts. Dr. Oh Eun-young emphasized to the wife the idea that 'couples are in unity!' and advised setting goals together to resolve debts through discussion.

In particular, the husband mentioned it was essential to distance himself from alcohol and spend more time with his daughter. Dr. Oh Eun-young expressed regret that most of the conversations shared between the father and daughter revolved around the topic of 'alcohol'. Observing the husband wiping away tears, likely feeling sorry for his daughter, moved the viewers to tears as well.

Meanwhile, in the preview released at the end of the broadcast, a couple married for 46 years, who had lived separately for decades, re-registered their marriage recently. This couple, who had received divorce rulings twice over trivial matters, lived 'together' for years after the divorce ruling and recently remarried, but still clash over trivial issues even now. The story of the remarried couple will be revealed on Monday, March 10.
