A woman preparing for marriage found herself troubled by her fianc?'s family background.

JTBC's 'Case Captain' reported on the 9th about a woman in her 30s, Ms. A, who is preparing for marriage and struggling with the issue of her fianc?'s parental seats at the wedding. Ms. A met her fianc? at work, dated him, and is set to get married next month. Before the wedding, her fianc? confessed, "My parents divorced when I was in middle school, and my father remarried, so I live with my stepmother." The stepmother, who owns a building in a busy district, has spared no effort in supporting her stepson both financially and emotionally, buying him a car and sending him abroad for studies. The stepmother also covered all the expenses for the couple’s new home and honeymoon.

One day, a call came from the fianc?’s biological mother. She said, "I was injured during a home invasion and am currently hospitalized," and added, "I contacted you because I was thinking of my son." The fianc? was shocked to see his biological mother looking gaunt and frail. She confessed, "I have lived alone with a lifelong feeling of guilt for leaving my son alone." The fianc? asked Ms. A, "I cannot send my biological mother back to the crime scene house. She will stay with us temporarily in the new home. Please don’t tell my parents about her," requesting her discretion.

It turned out that the reason for the divorce between the fianc?’s parents was the biological mother’s gambling. Known as a notorious gambler in the neighborhood, she gathered many people at home to gamble and even worked at entertainment establishments to fund her gambling. The fianc?’s father, who had been paying off her gambling debts, finally demanded a divorce. Even after the divorce, the biological mother could not quit gambling and was even imprisoned for fraud.

At the biological mother’s request, Ms. A secretly met with her alone. The biological mother, after scrutinizing Ms. A, asked, "How much will you bring when you get married? I don’t want much, just a diamond necklace." She even proposed, "Let’s live together, the three of us, in the new home." After the meeting, a flustered Ms. A heard her fianc? say, "I want to seat my biological mother at the parental seat." He tearfully said, "I am my mother’s only son. She is pitiful," and asked Ms. A to "talk to her nicely since the stepmother likes you." Ms. A firmly refused, saying, "Absolutely not. If you want to do it, you should say it yourself."

Eventually, the fianc? expressed his opinion in front of his parents, saying, "I will seat my biological mother, not my stepmother, at the parental seat." The shocked father-in-law scolded him, saying, "Your stepmother has treated you so well, how can you do this?" but the fianc? did not relent, saying, "I have missed my biological mother for a long time." The stepmother said, "Since it’s your wedding, it’s right to do as you wish. However, I will reclaim all the costs I covered for the new home and honeymoon and will cut off all support going forward."

Netizens who read the story reacted with comments such as, "Both the fianc? and biological mother have no conscience," "Cutting ties with the biological mother is the right thing," and "If I were Ms. A, I wouldn’t marry into such a family."
