MBC 'Oh Eun-young Report - Marriage Hell' (hereinafter 'Marriage Hell') aired at 9 p.m. on the 24th, revealed the story of a husband who has been clinging to a gift option for 22 years and his wife who has lived with deep wounds due to it. The couple, who met and married as local childhood friends for 54 years, lived as a parakeet couple without a quarrel and raised their sons as doctors and police officers, confessed that their lives began to falter after their husbands retired.
In the released video, the husband was immersed in investment in a computer room with only three computer monitors and four mice, so-called 'Secret Room'. My husband, who had been staring at the graph for an hour, shouted that he had completed his own masterpiece system through 22 years of research. After the consignment sale, the husband directly invested after losing all the money, and he relied on research for 20 hours a day. My husband should be ready to take the opportunity if it comes by the belief of heaven and earthEven after 22 years of failure, he seemed to have not let go of the hope.
However, her husband's investment addiction was serious. It was not enough to lose all of the severance pay, so he secretly sold his wife's house that his sons had provided for him and spent it on investment, and even used the lease on a deposit basis. He even shocked the studio by saying that he broke the safe where his wife had put her money. The amount of money her husband lost from the investment was 500 million won.
The wife confessed that she even developed depression because of her husband. As a result, he was hospitalized in a mental ward and cried, confessing that he had attempted an extreme choice. On this day, the wife told her husband to divorce him if he was not going to stop investing, but the husband called his son home, saying "Please make the final decision". The son of the "silly couple" complained of frustration with his father's appearance, which has not changed for 22 years, saying, "My father immediately changes his computer to the latest model and invests again."
Dr. Oh Eun-young compared her husband to not living in the economy for 22 years and just sticking to the bar exam. He analyzed that the investment notes written down will contain not only money but also her husband's life, so it will be even more difficult to quit. Dr. Oh Eun-young strongly suggested that all computers be removed for the first step of addiction treatment, 'erase'. At the same time, he comforted that his wife's depression will recover quickly even if his husband's addiction problem is cured.
At the end of the broadcast, a virtual wedding video prepared by the production team for the couple who couldn't get married was released. My husband "I'm sorry to have wasted 22 long years and broken your heart. After this time, I will not think about (investing) again, and I will clean up the computer first." In response, Dr. Oh Eun-young did not forget the realistic advice that a goal-oriented husband needs to set a healthy goal, saying that he should endure a week or two when withdrawal is the most severe.
