A wife who fights bitterly with a husband who provides 0% financial support appears on 'Our Baby Is Born Again', showing friction with her husband up to the day of childbirth.
On the 23rd episode of TV Chosun's entertainment program Our Baby Is Born Again (Woagi), a pregnant woman who decided to divorce before giving birth to her second child at full term shared her story.
In the video, the wife tells her drunken husband to be quiet. The husband replied, "Why are you so angry? What are you saying I should do?" and said, "If you come in, you should be quiet and sleep. Am I some kind of persecutor? I should correct your speech habits." Then an almost unbelievable scene was shown. During the fight, a kicking motion was caught on camera. The couple frequently raised their voices. Communication was impossible.
Jang Seo-hee and Park Soo-hong visited today's pregnant woman. She is currently the mother of a 13-month-old child and is full term, carrying a second child due around 42 weeks. Park Soo-hong and Jang Seo-hee were shocked and showed deep concern.
It turned out the husband couldn't participate in childcare because he was busy. He had to devote himself to work without rest. He said he left at 9 a.m. and returned at 2 a.m. He had almost no weekends. The wife said, "Financial stability is nice, but I wanted to raise the child together with my husband, but that never happened; it was a daily war." The wife said, "I want only one thing. I don't need money, and it's okay if he can't do childcare; I just want kind words and actions." She added, "We even tried a mission of saying one kind thing a day, but it was difficult. The husband said he'd rather be told to do something else. I wanted kind words and actions, but he said it was hard."
They asked whether their relationship could be restored. The wife said, "It's been two years of war. One kind word won't change my husband," and added, "I carried the baby while full term; the baby is 10 kilograms, and I carry him every day. The husband treats childcare as a given." In fact, footage showed the husband sitting in the car while the heavily pregnant wife lifted a heavy load.
The wife said, "If parents are not happy and keep fighting, it's better to divorce," and "Once I have a certain amount prepared, I want to leave here." Everyone felt sad at her decision to divorce ahead of what should be a happy birth. When asked about her financial plan to raise the child alone, they said they were already covering living expenses separately. The wife said, "Although my husband worked without days off, because his expenditures are fixed and large, his financial support was 0%," and currently she is covering living expenses with money she saved and parental benefit payments. She plans to raise the second child with parental benefits as well.
They even wrote a memorandum promising financial support, but that promise has not been kept. The mother said, upon learning belatedly from her son-in-law that his financial support was 0%, "How can he not tell us how much he earns or how much debt he has?" She choked up, saying, "How can he not even give 10 won for his son's snack? I hold back my tears."
Meanwhile, a specialist noted that the cervix had not dilated and was watching the situation through to tomorrow's delivery. The wife told her husband, who was holding their first child, "You must not sleep; just go home," saying, "I'm worried the baby chair might fall," but the husband, seemingly unaware of her mood, said, "I'm holding on well." Moreover, when the wife said, "I can see mucus," and that the floor needed to be wiped, the husband did not move and said, "Leave it, I'll wipe it." When the husband still did not move immediately, the heavily pregnant wife ended up crouching down and wiping the floor herself.
Of all things, the husband's phone rang loudly. The wife asked him to set it to vibrate because it bothered her, but he said, "I can't hear vibration well," and did not care, disappointing the wife again. The wife said, "I really don't want to fight until the birth." At that moment, the first child in the husband's arms cried and began to whine. But the husband, who still did not get up from the chair, was told by the wife to "get up," and even after getting up he kept his eyes fixed on his phone.
In the end, the wife, saying she felt "anxious," told the husband to take the first child home because the child had an IV line. The wife tried to send him home, saying, "Just go home." She said even the husband was too worried on the day of the birth. The wife cried, saying, "It's the same; we're off even on the day of the birth. I wonder if we can live well," and finally showed tears.
