A wife suffering from cancer confessed that she wanted to divorce her alcoholic husband.
On MBC's 'Oh Eun-young Report - Marriage Hell' (hereinafter referred to as 'Marriage Hell'), which aired on the 27th, the story of a 'tigger couple' who suffered from a serious drinking problem throughout their married life was revealed.
The two met while drinking at a food stall next to each other and ended up getting married. However, the wife has now revealed that she has decided to divorce her husband due to his drinking.
In an interview with the production crew, the wife said, "My husband really likes alcohol. Once he has just one drink, he drinks until the store runs out of alcohol." The husband was shocked when he revealed how much he drank, saying, “I drink close to 20 bottles.”
The wife continued, "I got a call in the morning one day. They said I was in the hospital after being assaulted by a group of people. There were too many big and small accidents. I was so sick and tired of my husband getting drunk."
When Oh Eun-young asked, "Do you think you have a drinking problem?" her husband responded, "Honestly, I don't think about it that seriously."
My wife even underwent surgery for metastatic thyroid lymph node cancer 7 months ago. Currently, the cancer cells have spread to the lungs and are being followed up. My husband even committed extramarital affairs. The wife said, "My sister-in-law said she needed money. I calculated it and it turned out that it would be used as my husband's severance pay. We offered to give her the money, but she brought only 600,000 won." “I went and had some fun,” he confessed.
The husband, who wants to drink every day, aroused anger by making a shameless response, saying, "I don't need injections and am good at going to work the next day. Why should I take this seriously and even appear on a program?"
In the end, Oh Eun-young said, "My husband's biggest problem is that he thinks too leniently about his drinking problem. Of all the couples who have had alcohol-related difficulties, I think my husband's drinking problem is the most serious. To be honest, I am not confident." “This family’s whole problem is alcohol. To get rid of the drinking problem, you have to get sober, but I don’t think it will be easy.”
The husband, who had pledged to abstain from drinking, started drinking soju, saying, “To test my self-control,” and the daughter, who saw this, confessed, “Looking at my parents, I started thinking that I don’t want to get married.” The wife also revealed that she was afraid that if she passed away first, the relationship between father and daughter would become distant.
Oh Eun-young said, "I also had surgery for colon cancer in 2008. In the short time I walked into the operating room, thoughts came flooding in like waves. But the one thing I couldn't sort out until the end was my children. I think my wife feels the same way." “More than anything else, you need to be a healthy parent who can discuss things with your children by their side for a long time. I think the wife is saying that to her husband,” he said, urging him to quit drinking.
