Divorce Camp: Husband admits to assault and wife confesses to bruises, "We lived together because of the child"

In the 102nd episode of the JTBC variety program 'Divorce Camp', the appearance of a couple experiencing conflict due to past assault allegations and continuous verbal abuse was captured.

"I hit the ribs" Husband's admission of assault and wife's confession of bruises

In the video, the wife mentioned a past situation where the husband hit her ribs with his fist, causing bruising. Regarding this, the husband showed an attitude of saying he did not hit the ribs but the stomach, or that he does not remember the situation at that time. During the conversation, the husband admitted to the assault, saying, "It is true that I was wrong." The wife further mentioned a past situation where her clothes were torn and she had to lie on the floor for several dozen minutes after falling from the bed.

The cast members expressed concern over the husband's attitude of admitting to the assault while simultaneously avoiding the situation or claiming not to remember. In particular, they pointed out that the act of choking is an assault and mentioned the possibility of such situations recurring.

"I lived for the child" The wife's choice and expert concerns

Regarding the reason why the wife has maintained the marriage despite the continuous physical and verbal abuse, the child was mentioned. The wife stated that she lived together because he is the child's father. The cast members expressed concern about the child growing up while witnessing such situations, questioning whether it is appropriate for a violent environment to persist for the sake of the child's mental health.

Recurring verbal abuse and a relationship like possessions

The conflict between the couple extended beyond physical assault to severe verbal abuse. The wife confessed that she heard many profanities from her husband and had experience paying fines because of this. The wife explained that the relationship with her husband could become a relationship like possessions rather than a love that respects each other.

The cast members expressed shock at the explicit profanities directed at the wife. One cast member expressed pity, saying it is hard to imagine using words to that extent, noting that such words are only possible when there is no affection left at all.
