I have a feeling that her baby is actually not her husband baby...

Girl took that way too personally.

How ironic that you read manga when it's mainly based on Japanese culture without understanding how CONSERVATIVE Japanese culture is.... smh. My dude, I suggest you do research about how Japan sees divorce in their culture. It's no different than how other Asian cultures see it.

Even more ironic how you and others are so angry about her cheating when there are actual hints of incest along with the step daughter watching her parents have sex.



I'm not denying she fucked up. I think she is stupid and wrong. However, I'm not changing the fact that she has a lot going on. As my favourite term of words "I understand but don't agree." It's so pitiful how this is a "psychology" manga despite the vocal comments have black and white thinking. After all, it's obvious she doesn't have the best communication. She tried to explain to her mother how creepy the mom and daughter are to only have it shrugged off.

I don't think she was possessive. She admitted in her thinking she is co-dependent on him. She relied on him to solve all of her problems. Now she doesn't have him and making her own decisions.

Wonder how the Japanese see affair's then surely this deeply conservative country will see that just as bad. Wait she's still committing a social taboo? One that's way worse than divorce?? Colour me shocked that divorce is still the adult decision. You also fail to realise Japan has a relatively high divorce rate not as high as america but definitely not too the point where divorce is seen as filthy that's just a western perception, most stats back me up seeing as how it's still relatively high for an asian country compared to the rest of the continent with only korea and china having way more.

Because the mother and daughter are the psychopaths something everyone agrees with, it's redundant to call them out because the story is literally predicated on them being creepy evil and deranged. Surely you don't think anyone on their side or are you just retarded?

You trying to say I understand but don't agree doesn't really mean anything. All this telling me that you're a dumbass

Legit worried for that other lady when/if she has one.

Something tells me she'll be singing a different tune when reality hits her. Full of tears and yelling in the middle of the night, every night. Face buried in her hands in late afternoon when it sinks in that her hobbies are shot for years and the budget is getting tighter.

Jealous of the struggle now?

 

[Makeiks]

yikes

 

[Marcellx]

Again, I'm not denying how much of an idiot she is! Haha. I just understand the character as she grew up very spoiled by her brother to give her what she wants all the time that she is finally struggling with her own decisions.

I feel like we are on the same page regardless thinking if it's possessive or codependency

Oh I didn't take this exchange as an argument. More as in building upon the same general view.

 

[hafizrosly]

Omg oh no. Oh hell nah.

 

[Remedil]

Women can't afford to not be picky, unlike men.

 

[pink_rabbit]

Oh I didn't take this exchange as an argument. More as in building upon the same general view.

I didn't think this was a argument as you were being very polite in saying what you disagree.

Yes!! It is a building on what our perspectives are.

We literally had people here in those threads several chapters that straight up wrote that marrying woman with a kid is wrong move and that MC's family was right in trying criticizing him for that choice. If sister divorced her husband, she would be in exact same position as MC's wife, and she could expect same treatment from any potential boyfriend and his family.

Which is why all those stupidly conservative mores against divorcing and remarrying are so harmful, because they actually result in more cheating as less socially dangerous (since it's easier to hide, especially if common enough in society to be treated discreetly by others) replacement for divorce.

Its because she’s doing it halfheartedly, aka she wanted to stay with her current husband but wanted a side lover,she’s bound to lose both her husband and her lover if shit hits the fan.

If her lover is willing to be a responsible father then he wouldn’t have any problem with her divorcing her husband. If he wasn’t willing to take responsibility and doing things just for fun then the moment he discovered she was pregnant, he would instantly disappear. Then the current husband would leave her cheating ass alone too.

It’s ultimately a self destructive way of living.

Ela tá traindo o marido? Sei q ele merece por ser um merda mas podia pelo menos terminar com ele

 

[Dragowolf2468]

I honestly don't feel that bad for the MC's sister. Yeah, her husband's a deadbeat but she doesn't want to go through a divorce - so she cheats on him. Cheating/having an affair is never an option.

Yea as far as we know he is not cheating abusive or controlling just a deadbeat but he still physically there this just feels way to extra for what little we know about him hell this type of issue feels like it could be fixed with talking.

 

[Dragowolf2468]

I have a feeling that her baby is actually not her husband baby...

I second this
Given how the baby does not like hik but likes strangers that's just weird

 

[Dragowolf2468]

Anyone else want to know what happening with the husband the car being gonn makes him sound like a gambler but she never mentioned anything like that could he of lost his job or what

 

[NishaAzalea]

Is Grandma the only normal person in this family?

 

[SSRBReader]

Cheating isn't wholesome bros.

 

[lodevijk]

Having went through similar issues as the woman who's been trying for a child for over a year, I can say it's soul crushing. It invalidates everything you did in your life until that point: what's been the point for all this? In the end you end up being just a cog in a machine, pay your taxes, and die. But in any case I would not blame others for trying to console me and just walk out on them.

Some people need to feel good that there's at least someone worse off than they are.

 

[HoesLuvHerro]
