Kyou mo Veranda de - Vol. 4 Ch. 48 - That’s Not Neighbor-san...

[Hicleric]

Wait wait wait, she's not completely dense it she figured out who the woman coming over was? What's next figuring out that there's no better time to go for it than right now?

 

[Amogh24]

Is that a serious implication she blew off their wedding anniversary to have dinner with coworkers?

I can totally understand the husband if that was a pattern. She is married to her work, she can't be in a healthy relationship like that. It's her fault imo

 

[Georgeorat]

I don’t know if it was a slight mistranslation, but the husbands reasoning felt valid, asking that they have dinner together most nights and that they spend intimate time together are pretty reasonable discussions to be had in a marriage, and while saying she should take time off work if they have a kid can be a sticking point in a relationship, that is in no way saying she should be a housewife. If this was the originally intent of the text, then she is just bullshitting when she says her husband wanted her to be a housewife.

It's not that he wanted her as a house wife, it's that she was burnt out on her previous job, and "get married and run the house" felt like a convenient out for her

 

[Truewolf]

You work for money, money for food, food for safety health well being, some money on happiness

Her husband also work, so lets eliminate money for food, now it just for happiness.

Isn't happiness seeing your love one?

The fuck? I so fucking confused here.

Bro what? She divorced over a fucking one night dinner that she cancelled then a little hubby got jealous and she fucking assume herself again!? The fuck. And even worse divorce while pretend didn't know her husband in hard time!!?!

No no no dont fall in love again you bitch, so pitiful of the man you marry later, get isekai'd and eaten by orc already!

Take this faqing yui pict.

I hope me and y'all kept away from people like this.

This manga more or less based on japanese society right? . .
I see that's why japan almost extinct already. .

 

[marszymek]

Yeah if I had to blame who is at fault for divorce it would be Miyoshi. Not only she prioritised her job, but it felt like she don't get what it means to be in relationship. Also did they talk about children and such? If not the both are at fault. I believe she liked her husband but yeah... Another example of how good conversation would have solved the issue in my opinion
I like her as character I hope she will come back, but I don't like her past attitude which was shown this chapter

 

[jabzkil]

for once, the divorce does seem to stem from the lady's inability to put an actual effort to protect heir marriage, something I rarely find in manga/manhwa with divorcees.

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[haoxin]

Not "blew off" if I have to say, more likely that she's forget, he want to do something special, has place reserved, etc. etc.

But yeah, I would be hella pissed too if my -not even a decade- marriage partner forgot about OUR special day. But not to the point of thinking of divorce. I'll just tell her that yesterday is our wedding anniversary and that I already got a place reserved and didn't talk to her for a week after telling her that to gaslight her :v

One thing I haven't seen mentioned is that her ex supported her when she was burned out and when she went back to work. But she didn't return the favour when he was having trouble at work and wanted to recharge by having quality time together. She even admits it.

 

[Kushikime]

Thanks for the chapter

 

[Razen]

She better off being alone so no man can get hurt by her and her workaholic addict again.

She cancelled dinner with her husband for her coworkers. Missing out their wedding anniversary, etc.

She saw her husband as if he wanted to just have her home to support him, but from what we see, he just wanted to spend more time with her because she was neglecting him. She even ignored his rough times. Come on, he was even initially supportive of her.

I thought I liked her character, but not anymore. She’s a red flag. From this chapter alone, it was not enough for redemption either even though she got that typical conclusion type of vibe.

Based on personal experience. Being the supportive one and letting your girl do what she wants inconsiderately will really tire you out. Yep tried communicating and the blame goes on me for “being demanding.” Like how this character claimed he just wanted her home to support him.

 

[Dzrian]

No one is pointing it out so imma say it. Cancelling plans with her partner for dinner with her coworkers.

That really shows the priorities here because worst of all, it’s just dinner. Sure there may be the social aspects of it, but is that more important than her partner?

She’s as good as telling him that he is not a priority amongst these people. At this point, she is sowing seeds of doubt and insecurity.

It even sounds like she was the one that ended it. The ex/husband must have felt a massive loss.

Imagine trying to talk with your wife for compromises after you’ve compromised for her way more, then she’s like, “No, how dare you suggest this. I’m divorcing you.”

 

[colorlesseatstomboys]

Imagine.
You find yourself dating a person who's burnt our from work, so you support them and marry them.
She then wants to work again and you support her for that too.
She repays you by having most of her dinners with her co-workers, even missing out on your anniversary (the plan was already made, and she chose to cancel it).
Now you're the one having a tough time at your job, your partner instead of supporting you, is continuing the same as above (what's worse is she knows about it too) and
When you have a talk with them like any reasonable person, she chooses that getting divorced is the best solution, sure , for her that is. Well if she could have thought about his feelings then we wouldn't have reached at this point eh.

I think plenty of people here can say with surety that that man isn't ever thinking about having feelings for anyone again.
She realizes that she didn't care for his feelings and didn't support him but does she really? The author included this to have the FL misunderstand and also give some wise advice from the side chara but do they also understand the reality of life. More than half of men aren't getting back up from that.

Hopefully we see him again doing well without her and hopefully we don't see her romance, really not looking forward to it.

Forgetting your wedding anniversary is not good, but it's also not an unfixable mistake if you take it seriously. But I do think it seemed like the husband was implying she quit her job to take care of their child. I don't think long-term parental leave with guaranteed employment is a thing in Japan, especially since it's very cultural for women to quit working when they marry and have children.

Lots of people here assume that she got divorced on a whim, but fundamental differences in values and life goals is a very valid reason to divorce. If the guy needs her to quit working to be happy in the relationship, and she doesn't want that, then that qualifies as a fundamental difference in values. They could try figuring out some kind of compromise in couple's counseling (if such a thing exists in Japan), but divorce seems like a plausible and reasonable outcome.

I'm actually quite positively surprised that a manga has a sympathetic female character that actually expresses that she doesn't want to be a housewife (especially after trying it out). In most manga (that portray women of working age), it's like it's a foregone conclusion that women quit work when they get married. She somewhat questions her decision, saying she didn't consider her husband's feelings, but I'm not sure what she was supposed to have done if she did. I mean, if he's so stressed out with work, couldn't he have become a househusband and let her be the breadwinner? It's like that option never even crossed anyone's mind.

I applaud you for trying to see her perspective, but, as we can see, the husband was the one compromising.
He has tried to support what she wanted but she neglected him. Realistically, this is when you could try to set boundaries.
The part about a child is hypothetical. This part especially , are usually taken care of by the mothers, so it isn’t a stretch to discuss staying home.
Even if it went they way you suggested, it would not change the fact that the she is neglecting her husband. That was the main issue.
She found it as something she doesn’t want and thus, ultimately getting a divorce.

I think there are far too few details portrayed to be able to say for certain either that he was demanding unreasonable things from her, or that she was systematically neglecting him. To me, the most plausible scenario is that there was a mixture of various factors that had to do with both of them making some mistakes in terms of commitment and communication as well as fundamental differences in goals and values. The main point is that it's far from clear-cut that one of them is to blame and the other isn't. And I think it typically isn't in real life either, and if you interpret this in that way, the scenario feels pretty realistic to me.
