On the 24th, the broadcast 'Oh Eun-young Report – Hell of Marriage' featured a husband who finds his wife's words annoying and a wife who wants to be loved by such a husband.
During their dating period, the affectionate husband actively expressed love and pursued her. However, now he says his wife is tiresome and even claimed that he "does not love his wife." When the hosts asked if he was serious, he gave a shocking response, "I did have some feelings at some point!" Meanwhile, the wife revealed that she applied to share her story because she wants to live happily with her husband like during their dating period. A completely changed couple's affection line. What kind of healing report did Dr. Oh Eun-young suggest to restore it?
The husband, who works in the construction industry, could not go to work due to continuous heavy snowfall, so he started the day with his wife. Unlike the husband, who wants to be alone, the wife, who wants to do everything together, kept calling for him, saying, "Honey~" After raising four siblings for 19 years, she has been solely responsible for childcare and household chores.
However, when the wife, who was preparing dinner, asked him to do the dishes, the husband ignored her with a 'no-look pass(?).' Despite the wife's earnest request, the husband's reason for turning a blind eye was due to 'computer games!' He confessed that he plays games for at least 3 to 4 hours on weekdays and sometimes for as much as 8 to 9 hours on weekends. Eventually, after his wife's calls continued, he reluctantly did the dishes, but soon expressed his annoyance and dissatisfaction.
The wife wants to spend time with her husband doing childcare and household chores, but the husband always desires his own time, expressing his disappointment. However, the husband said, "I prioritize myself over family," stating that sacrificing for the family feels burdensome. He also expressed dissatisfaction by saying that he has done everything his wife wants, but still feels like he is being criticized.
In response, Dr. Oh Eun-young analyzed that the wife perceives the same situation as a 'request,' while the husband sees it as 'coercion,' leading to ongoing conflict. The wife, who wants to do even trivial things with her husband, keeps calling for him, while the husband, who has a strong individualistic tendency, may feel such demands as 'oppressive.' Dr. Oh added that the husband might feel wronged. Although the husband ultimately obliged his wife's requests, he did so with reluctance, and when the wife expressed dissatisfaction based on his complaints, he likely felt that his efforts were being disregarded. Dr. Oh emphasized to the wife that "this could be a form of forcing emotions onto the husband." Additionally, she noted that by starting with the phrase "if you love the family," the husband is often portrayed as someone who does not love his family if he does not feel the same emotions as his wife. The wife seemed shocked, realizing that she was unaware of her actions.
The wife claimed that due to the husband's annoyed tone, the children are cautious around their father. However, contrary to expectations, when the counselor asked, "Who is the closest person at home?", the eldest daughter answered without hesitation, "Dad." The eldest daughter confessed that she felt anxious that her mother, being prone to stress, might disappear after fighting with her father since childhood. While the children expressed gratitude for their mother's love and sacrifice, they also mentioned that sometimes their mother’s excessive concern felt burdensome, like control. Footage captured the mother insisting on dressing the second daughter even after she said she was not cold and strongly opposing the third son's part-time job. Despite nearing adulthood, the children could not freely decide on outings or activities without their mother's permission. Dr. Oh Eun-young strongly pointed out that "the way the mother loves the children remains at an infant level." She continued, stating that, under the guise of family education, she is excessively controlling the children to alleviate her own anxieties. It was suggested that for the children's independence, parents must learn to manage their own anxieties.
In the preview revealed at the end of the broadcast, a story was shared about a wife who suffers from financial troubles so severe that she has applied for personal rehabilitation twice but does not want to burden her husband by asking for help. She wakes up early every morning to prepare breakfast for her husband and even shapes his eyebrows, yet she seems to live from a subordinate position as described in the story "the love of a subordinate couple." This episode will air on the 31st at 10:45 p.m. on 'Oh Eun-young Report – Hell of Marriage.'
