"Did You Leave This for Me to Eat?"... Wife's Frustration Explodes Over Husband's Leftover 'Jokbal'

A woman shared a story about having a fight with her husband after expressing disappointment upon seeing leftover jokbal (pig's trotters) he had left behind.

Recently, a post titled "Wife who came home late and the jokbal left by her husband" has sparked attention among netizens on an online community.

The author, wife A, explained, "Every Friday, my husband leaves work early to pick up our child from daycare and takes care of the child until I get off work. He always wants to leave early, but something always comes up, so he usually gets home around 8 p.m."

A said that she came home around 8 p.m. again this time, and upon seeing the leftover jokbal her husband left for her portion, her disappointment exploded.

The shared photo showed jokbal with very little meat left, seasoned chive salad, and various leftover side dishes and sauces remaining.

A said, "I was really upset. I held back my anger and said, 'Did you leave this for me to eat? If it were me, I would have set aside some fresh pieces.' Then my husband got angry, saying, 'Is your first word to the person who worked hard a complaint?' and went into the room."

She added that her husband told her, "I deliberately picked the bones out," and snapped, "Am I an emotional trash can to vent bad things from work? Your personality is XX (rude expression)."

A asked for opinions, saying, "I want to know if I am being too sensitive or if he was really harsh. If it's my fault, I will sincerely apologize to my husband, but if not, I hope he realizes it too."

Netizens who saw this criticized the husband's behavior, saying, "It looks like he left garbage, not food," and "He probably just dumped it on the table because he didn't want to deal with food waste."

On the other hand, some defended the husband, saying, "From his perspective, he might have thought he was being considerate."
