Recently, a post titled “I fought with my wife, please tell me if I was wrong” was uploaded on the anonymous workplace community Blind.
35-year-old office worker A, who is living with his wife who is 3 years younger, started by saying, “I’m a fan of aespa’s Winter. I don’t follow their concerts or use her photo as my computer background, but if someone asks me ‘Which idol do you like?’, I just say, ‘I’m a fan of Winter.’“
He continued, “I was listening to the teaser song from aespa’s new full album and casually said to my wife, ‘Should I buy a copy of aespa’s full album?’ I haven’t bought an album since I bought a cassette tape of singer BoA when I was in middle school, but I said it because I’m a fan.”
His wife’s reaction was unexpected. She grimaced and said it was disgusting, mentioning that there was an age gap of more than 10 years.
A, annoyed by her comment, retorted, “Your mom follows trot singer Jeong Dong-won around, so is that disgusting too?” His wife then responded seriously, asking why he was talking like that.
According to A, his mother-in-law follows Jeong Dong-won to his domestic and overseas concerts and even schedules family gatherings around his events. She follows him to signing events as a basic routine.
Since that day, his wife has been relentlessly asking, “Why do you like an idol more than 10 years younger? Are you a pervert?” She continuously insults him, calling it disgusting. In response, A counterattacks by saying “Your mom is even worse“, creating a tense atmosphere at home.
A complained, “I’m so annoyed that I want to buy 10 copies of aespa’s full album and lay them out in the living room. But we have a baby, so I can’t even think about divorce. What should I do?“
Netizens who read the story reacted by criticizing A’s wife, “It’s okay to be jealous, but speaking like that is a bit much“, “People marry others with more than a 10-year age difference” and “He’s not stalking, just liking a celebrity. What’s wrong with that?“
