The story of a man who lost his self-esteem because of a conflict with his wife over the difference in income was broadcast.

In MBC’s ‘Oh Eun-young Report – Marriage Hell’, which aired on the 6th, a couple appeared who said they had received more than 50 couples’ counseling but could not resolve their conflict.

The husband said, “I lived while paying attention to my wife. I can’t stand it when my wife gets angry or angry at my words. I shrink and avoid it.” In response, the wife said the problem was her husband’s low self-esteem, saying, “I didn’t mean it, but my husband always says ‘ignore me’.”

The biggest cause of conflict was the difference in income between the two. The wife of an accessory company representative said, “We export accessories that we made ourselves. Now, we have 6 employees and we generate sales of about 100 million won for small and medium business.” On the other hand, her husband was a photographer and did not earn much.

My husband wants to quit his job and start a business. He said, “I feel that work in the company is physically demanding. Business is about earning more money for financial freedom. It won’t be easy, but I want to earn more efficiently and spend more time with my family. We will deliver in the middle,” he said.

However, his wife noted, “All I can hear is that I want to work comfortably at home. Freelancers don’t make money if there’s no performance.” In addition, she said that her husband had three unsuccessful experiences in business, and she emphasized, “During the 12 years of marriage, you only gave me living expenses for three years. That is not the only problem.

In an interview with the production team, the woman also said, “I wanted to do business in the past, so I got an office, and I was watching a movie in the office.

Domestic violence by her husband in the past was also a major cause of conflict. The woman, who had been separated for a long time because of her husband’s violence, admitted, “When we had a fight, we broke things. I always lived in anxiety.”

However, the level of domestic violence was not disclosed in detail.

Dr said.

“In order to resolve this well, it is necessary to show a lot of respect, recognition and consideration from the side that earns more money, whether it is the husband or the wife. If it starts to fall apart, it can damaging the marriage. Leaving that aside, I think there needs to be a change.”

In addition, he analyzed that his wife had not yet removed her fear of domestic violence, saying, “I think I should not be subjected to domestic violence again, so I try to gain the upper hand in everything.
