They are not bad people. They are flawed couple. The Couple could have happy marriage. I can't only blame her because i think male lead/black haired guy/ kind of knew his wife is workaholic woman. I honestly just want them to divorce already. He didn't want to marry someone like his mother, woman who did everything for her husband, no dream, no passion for her own. He didn't wanted his parents' marriage life but his wife is acting like his father /Man who never appreciated his wife/. The Wife has been neglecting her husband for so long that he doesn't even want to try again. Their situation is really sad and frustrating. Imagine you cook for your partner almost everytime but they wouldn't even taste/touch it. When you try to take them on date, they wouldn't even show up or always late because of their work. If things like this keep happening you would feel unimportant, sad, lonely. And I think your love for your partner would decrease. They are not meeting their partner's needs /need for love/ Marriage is two people's work. It is sad that wife knows what she is doing is wrong/bad for their marriage but she still does it again and again. That is very selfish, for that I don't like her. For husband I just hope he has a guts to say to his wife that he doesn't love her anymore and wants to divorce. I hate cheating story, I really don't want him to become cheater. This manga id depressing. I hope all of them find their happy ending.
Hehe. I agree with you.
Thanks for your reply!
I do agree with a lot of what you said, but disagree in that I'm not neccesariliy more inclined to support the wife in this circumstance. I can totally emphasize with the wife, but that doesn't excuse her actions, which are extremely selfish and hurtful. One thing you mentioned was how hard the wife is working for her career, but the husband also worked SO hard for SO long for the relationship, but never recieved the same from his wife. I honestly don't think she loves him as much as he loves her; at the very least her career is her first priority and he is her second, while the husband's first prioirty has been her. I feel like their relationship could have still been saved with them working together and couples therapy etc, but the husband has fallen for someone else and is already too tired to try anymore. IDK though, but divorce is a huge decision, and my gut feeling is that they're going to cheat before they get divorced. IDK tho, if you can still support the wife's selfshiness in what's she's doing now, can't you also support the guy's selfshiness in cheating?
Something I do think is interesting is how people have different definitions of cheating. LIke most people in this comment section just don't want them to have sex, but I feel like their kiss or even just their feelings towards each other as the same kind of violation of trust.
True. Of course, the woman is at fault. I'd written that in my post. But, you're right. Cheating is not just sleeping. It's the concept of looking at someone else itself with affection, lust and love..
But that's the thing. He IS doing that. I get that he's frustrated and tired. No one would him blame for being so. He is not at fault for that. It's only right that you get attracted to someone else, which is also fine. But to indulge in that attraction while you're with someone else...now, that's wrong, like you said.
I don't blame her. Falling in love with work, the adrenaline rush when you get things right...some of us like that, be it woman or man. I don't find anything wrong with it. Men have been enjoying having both, enjoyment working and coming back home to a wife who lovingly waits for him, in this patriarchal society but women have to come back home and do the housework as well. At least, in my country and my mum works SO hard!
Now, the question is, what do you think of her?
I feel she can't expect her man to take it like a woman did back then as as housewife because that just means, it is once again being selfish and putting your partner through all that. Honestly speaking, you can't have it all (unless your husband is exactly like you and both of you are at peace with that and are having fun!)
She likes him. I know that. She's taken him for granted. That's true. She is at fault for that. But I feel the men in this manga is the most problematic. The blond dude, I absolutely dislike and now the black haired dude is getting closer to being a cheating asshole as well..
I'm currently more inclined to supporting the women and I truly empathise with them because they are both working SO hard! One is trying so hard to work her marriage out and the other, at her job.
This is what I feel. I'd like to know your thoughts.
