Paternity Leave Husband Breaks Down in Tears Over Wife's Verbal Abuse on 'Marriage Hell'

A husband on paternity leave is set to appear on MBC's 'Oh Eun Young's Report - Marriage Hell' (hereinafter 'Marriage Hell'), bringing viewers to tears as he reveals his struggles with his wife's verbal abuse.

The episode, airing on Monday, October 20th, at 10:50 PM, features the show's first-ever couple where the husband is on childcare leave.

While the husband desperately wishes to return to work, his wife opposes it. After 20 months of paternity leave, the husband greets his wife with a smile upon her return, but she, looking exhausted, merely sits on the sofa and scrolls through her phone. She then criticizes him for not managing the household properly, expressing frustration that he doesn't listen to her despite repeated discussions.

His wife's anger escalates further, as she sends him abusive text messages filled with curses and insults if the house isn't tidy enough. She explains, "Once I get angry, everything feels unfair and I lose control. My husband calls them mistakes, but they feel intentional to me, which makes me furious."

Dr. Oh Eun Young, observing the couple's daily life, notes her words and comments meaningfully, "There must be a deeper reason."

Overwhelmed by his wife's verbal attacks, the husband pleads tearfully, "My wife is dragging me down. I feel sorry for the kids, but it's unbearable. I feel like I'm going crazy." His distress is so severe that he has already prepared divorce papers, shocking the MCs.

However, it is revealed that there's a painful reason behind the wife's outbursts. She confesses, "I'm doing to my husband exactly what I experienced myself," a revelation that leaves the MCs speechless. The husband, hearing this for the first time, sheds tears.

Will the 'Paternity Leave Couple' overcome the brink of divorce? Can the wife's anger, tormenting her husband, be stopped? Their story will unfold on MBC's 'Oh Eun Young's Report - Marriage Hell' on Monday, October 20th, at 10:50 PM.

Netizens reacted to the preview, with comments like "The husband seems so pitiful," "I'm curious about the wife's story," and "Dr. Oh Eun Young's solution seems necessary."
