Psychiatrist Lee Kwang-min has given up on finding a solution for the annoyed couple's wife.
In the JTBC broadcast of 'Divorce Reflection Camp' on the 17th, the psychological counseling treatment of the annoyed couple was depicted.
On this day, the annoyed couple's wife met with psychiatrist Lee Kwang-min. When Lee mentioned bipolar disorder, the wife said, "I'm not too worried about bipolar disorder. I think I can control it to some extent."
The wife stated, "When I clean diligently from the morning, my husband says, 'You're in a manic state. It's serious.'" When Lee asked, "You said you clean diligently, but is the house clean at that time? Is there a result?" the wife replied, "Sometimes there is a result. But it takes more time." In response, Lee pointed out, "Mania fundamentally doesn't last long. And mania is inefficient in producing any results."
Lee mentioned the wife's behavior of cycling while her child was making loud noises in the kitchen, stating, "Your motivation has distorted your priorities in life." He continued, "The child is undoubtedly more important in life, but you perceive that exercising is more important right now. In doing so, you might miss out on something precious in life," he warned.
Despite hearing Lee's words, the wife constantly countered by putting her husband first. In response, Lee said, "To be honest, I don't know if we should continue counseling. You're talking about your husband while I'm trying to hear your story. Conflict is not solely one person's fault. You didn't come here to scold your husband to change him. You are not trying to see yourself. If that's the case, there won't be any answers. Counseling won't work."
The wife said, "I can live like this for another 10 years. I can take care of the kids, but then I feel like there won't be much of a future, so I start to worry about that future." When Lee pointed out, "Isn't there a divorce application situation right now?" the wife replied, "That's why I'm trying to get a divorce. I think, 'I need to live hard after the divorce.'"
The wife firmly believed that her life would change after the divorce. In response, Lee stated, "If that's true, then there is no solution today. Haven't you already created a solution? You already have a firm solution. There is no room for my solution to intervene," he said firmly.
The wife expressed confusion, saying, "I wondered if my stubbornness is strong right now. When I was asked about my thoughts, I just conveyed my thoughts as they are. I was puzzled if it was to that extent."
