Thanks! I wonder if this series will get a live action

Isn't alcohol 'warming you up' a myth? or at least, it's prolly dangerous to depend on that while it's raining versus an actual hot meal/bundling up properly lol

Ppl do tend to rush into marriage but other than a biological clock ticking or arranged marriage, it's a shame more ppl don't have like a 'couples counseling' or so before getting into it or simply a mediator to talk about their goals/expectations with marriage and like dealing with future kids

hm, is her second serving of wine enough 'liquid courage' to unload her feelings onto him? not being able to be a good husband/not working out doesn't necessarily mean he'll be a bad dad (if he got custody over her in the first place), tho hopefully it's not some bs like "i'm not cut out to be a dad either" and giving her back if they don't have a 3rd relative to help out

Is she even gonna be sober by the time they meet?

 

[mrboxeater]

the red wine is so random

Maybe they'll start dating again or something.

Combining greasy food with drinks can reduce the effect of alcohol, though these hungry ladies are often more robust than they look.

i guess beer is the 'standard' but i know some ppl like 'pairing' wine with certain foods

Pretty sure she walks everywhere/doesn't have a car (well money aside apparently it's uncommon to own a car/have a drivers license in JP), depends on how much of a lightweight she is but considering the point of this series is her enjoying some alcohol with her meal, she probably has a decent tolerance

Maybe they'll start dating again or something.

no romance tag so unless they surprise us idk if it'd work out, unless he propose they 'move in together' for the kid's sake
but i'd rather her find someone new if she's gonna end up remarrying at all

There's marriage counseling, but that's usually used as a last resort for married couples when their marriage hasn't been all that good. By that point, it's likely too late to repair, mend, or improve their relationship and at least one of them would move forward with the divorce papers, sometimes not even getting their spouse's approval or say on the matter.

He's marrying again, right?

it gives you the sensation of it because it stimulates some blood vessels but doesnt actually make you any warmer

If I fumbled a hardworking and thoughtful wine mom I would end it all. He doesn't know what he's missing out on.

 

[SpudWumper]

im cheering for her

 

[notekatha]

That's my theory.

Or that their daughter wants to be with her more often. I can't imagine she's perfectly happy with not having any time with mom (especially considering the last two visits were apparently cancelled)

What us, reader, saw isn't the whole story.
You just don't understand. Marriage is very complicated. A lot of times, both sides are good people but it just doesn't work out. Even the smallest things can destroy a marriage. Habits, routines, small quirks, etc. From what this chapter shows, these two rushed their marriage without really understanding each other. They never actually sit down and talk to each other.
Wait until you actually get married to someone and you will see. After marriage, a person's bad points will become transparent, and they will quickly overshadow the good points.
And to be honest, I don't see her as perfect as a wife as you said. She works hard because she needs money for herself. And she drank too much. As a woman, I just don't agree with being a drunkard in public. It is very dangerous. Drinking at home is better.

I understand a lot of your points and they are very reasonable. It's just that I really like this fictional hardworking and thoughtful wine mom in this fictional manga. We can both agree on drinking in public at least. As a woman, it's particularly dangerous (due to spiking drinks and etc). That's why I can enjoy it stress-free in manga
