#yulhee

There was a lot of tension between the two about parenting. Yulhee felt very tired in the marriage and suffocated. I sense that she was doing a big bulk of the parenting during the marriage. He wasn't often there for her when she needed him. They also have different parenting styles and different ideas about parenting; one is more traditional and strict, believing in rules/more traditional paths for the kids while the other is more open and more relaxed (sometimes too relaxed).

She also felt like he became someone that she didn't see herself with in the long term. Before she looked up to him a lot and felt like he could guide her a lot but after they married for several years, she felt like he was more immature than she thought and he couldn't provide the lifestyle and stability that she needed. Yulhee was quite young when she married and their marriage came pretty abruptly. Now that she has grown up more mentally and emotionally, she feels like she is looking for a different type of marriage/relationship. Yulhee is looking for someone who is more mature, stable, and has a more stable job that provides a certain lifestyle she wants.

There was also some conflict between both sides of their families. I sense some conflict between Yulhee and a parent of Minhwan's. She felt like she was being controlled or looked down by that parent. I don't think they approved of their marriage as they felt she was too young to be married to him.

Also just because she doesn't have custody of the children doesn't mean she doesn't care about the kids. She feels like the situation they have now is the best that can be; she financially is not able to support the 2 kids on her own whereas she feels he is able to and he has support from his side of the family. Yulhee also wants some freedom to live her life more and enjoy the rest of her 20s; she feels she missed out a lot and sort of became a mom too fast. Minhwan feels a bit of guilt too that he was able to hang out more with friends during the marriage compared to her.
