Husband Posts Over 300 Backbiting Comments About Wife in 2 Years
Also Full of Insults Toward In-Laws
"I Will Quit," Tears Shed... Resumes Activity After One Week
A story has emerged about a woman who wants a divorce after her husband posted hundreds of gossip posts about her on online communities.
JTBC's 'Case Manager' reported on the 22nd about a woman in her 30s, Ms. A, who is experiencing conflicts with her husband. Ms. A, who is in her second year of newlywed life, said, "My husband is kind but timid," and added, "Even when I argue with someone who cuts in line on the subway, he just stares blankly instead of helping me." One day, while cleaning the house, Ms. A saw the computer screen her husband had left on.
Out of curiosity, Ms. A checked what posts her husband had written on online communities and was greatly shocked. Her husband had posted a lot of gossip about her. He wrote things like, "When my wife comes out after showering, the bathroom is full of hair and it's very dirty," and "She asks for a kiss every morning, but her bad breath makes me lose affection," mixing lies with insults. When comments insulting his wife appeared, he replied, "I feel relieved." It was confirmed that during their two years of marriage, the husband had written over 300 posts insulting his wife. Not only did he insult his wife, but he also filled the posts with badmouthing his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
When an angry Ms. A contacted her husband and told him to "come home immediately," he stayed out overnight with his phone turned off. The next day, when he returned home, he seemed to have already realized why Ms. A was upset and tearfully said, "I complained online because I thought we would fight if I said it directly. I felt relieved because people sided with me," and promised, "I will quit the site immediately." However, Ms. A could not completely let go of her suspicions, and soon found through her husband's phone that he had resumed activity on the site a week earlier.
Psychological counselor Park Sang-hee, who heard the story, said, "The husband seems to be someone who cannot face and resolve conflicts directly with others," and advised, "He may have low self-esteem or have grown up in an environment where he could not assert himself as a child. It would be better to let him go through a healthy process of asserting himself before considering divorce."
Netizens who read the story responded with comments such as, "It seems best for the wife to get a divorce quickly," "Since trust is already broken, continuing the marriage seems impossible," and "The wife will inevitably continue to be suspicious in the future."
