Oh Eun-young analyzed that the wife of the 'theater couple' has a vulnerability to addiction.
On the broadcast of MBC ‘Oh Eun-young Report - Marriage Hell’ (hereafter Marriage Hell) on the 2nd, the wife, who shows overflowing energy in front of her child but sinks endlessly into depression when alone, appeared alongside her husband, the 'theater couple.'
The couple's daily life was revealed. A family full of love from the morning. They continued a happy atmosphere while preparing to send their child to daycare. After dropping the child off, the husband headed to work. He had been operating a PC cafe for over 10 years. The large PC cafe was extremely empty, and the husband explained, "Since difficult situations began during COVID-19, I have a monthly rent to pay to the landlord, and the security deposit has been completely deducted. I'm at a loss of 2.5 million won a month. I decided to close the business in February this year."
When their daughter arrived, the wife brightened up like a lie. As soon as the husband got home, he checked the kitchen, but it was still a mess. The husband expressed his frustration, saying, "I know my wife is having a hard time. There have been times when packages piled up on both sides. I can’t help but sigh." However, he did not reveal his frustration and took on the piled-up dishwashing.
While the husband was preparing dinner, the wife was deep in conversation with an acquaintance. Even when the husband called her, she remained silent. Meanwhile, their daughter fell asleep beside her. Eventually, the husband, feeling frustrated, reached for alcohol. He revealed his inner thoughts, saying, "I can't stand the sight. I'm angry too."
The wife said, "Until December of last year, I was working continuously. I worked and took care of the child. (However) my condition has deteriorated rapidly over the past few months." The husband added, "My wife has said her heart races and that she feels anxious. That was a signal I should have noticed. Since I have no experience with such people around me, I was complacent, wondering, 'Why is this happening?'"
Oh Eun-young said, "The most noticeable thing in the video is that the wife has a vulnerability to 'addiction.' Alcohol addiction? That's correct. The wife said about alcohol, 'I drink because it is too difficult to sleep. I don't want to rely on medication.' In such situations, alcohol is 100 times more harmful than medication. It is better to get properly prescribed medication from a specialist and take it properly." She added, "Impulsive buying, shopping addiction is correct. There is more immersion in the act of purchasing items. Before buying something, dopamine levels rise. If you are depressed, you can't do anything. I don't think that is the entire reason."
Oh Eun-young analyzed, "Ultimately, it is a lack of self-regulation. These can be viewed as attention function issues. Even if one's behavior is not disorganized, there may still be problems with attention. I see a high possibility of adult ADHD. It's also a depressive state. It seems they can't distinguish between what's important and what's less important. There is no keen insight into what is absolutely necessary, and they have an excessive sense of the consequences."
