"1st-priority couple"'s conflict deepens further. The husband's shocking drinking problem comes to light and his drunk driving record is revealed.
The hidden conflicts of the "1st-priority couple" are revealed on Oh Eun-young Report - Marriage Hell.
On Monday, Sept. 7 at 9 p.m., MBC's Oh Eun-young Report - Marriage Hell (hereinafter "Marriage Hell") episode 184 features a husband who prioritizes hobbies over family and a wife who feels that such a husband is immature, leading to conflict.
In the observation camera footage, the husband devotes himself to exercise from early morning. He started exercising to overcome depression and recently even shot a body profile, he said. But the wife complains that the husband's strict self-care has made the family's daily life uncomfortable. The husband took out chicken breast to eat at a kids' cafe even when it was time to feed the children, and he canceled his mother's birthday gathering saying he could not eat because he was preparing for a body profile. The wife vents accumulated grievances, saying, "The husband is the number one in his own life."
The costs involved in the husband's hobby also become a source of conflict. The wife says the husband spent 3 million won just on sneakers, bought a roughly 1 million won aquarium after becoming obsessed with fish, and even purchased a separate 3 million won refrigerator to store chicken breast. The wife pleads that if he saved a little they could escape economic pressure, but when money is mentioned the husband's reaction becomes heated. He begins to list the expenses he has borne, from the house and the wife's pilates center deposit to expensive gifts.
The wife points out the husband's drinking problem and the financial losses she had to bear because of it. The husband, who at one point drank six times a week, loved drinking so much that when asked "quit drinking or divorce" he chose divorce. It is revealed to be shocking that his license was revoked for drunk driving and he paid about 9 million won in fines. The wife erupts her accumulated grievances, saying, "You make a big mess like that sometimes," but the husband counters that the wife is also responsible for the financial losses, and the couple's conversation struggles to find common ground.
Meanwhile, at 3 a.m. when everyone is asleep, someone cautiously opens the door and appears. It is the eldest son, who did not appear throughout the observation footage. The eldest usually only leaves his room after everyone else is asleep. The husband avoids meeting the family and even communicates with the wife by message when he gets off work. When the son appears on screen, the wife bursts into tears. Questions mount about why the eldest stayed in his room to avoid the family.
Earlier, the husband of the "1st-priority couple" said he suffered severe depression due to the wife's communication breakdown and visited a psychiatrist. He confessed that he was diagnosed with depression beyond the ordinary level and took medication for more than two years, and now with the shocking drinking problem and drunk driving coming to light, attention is focused on what Dr. Oh Eun-young will say.
