A desperate housewife appeared on a Korean legal advice show seeking help with her husband's monstrous appetite that threatens their marriage. Ms. A revealed her spouse devours more than one whole chicken daily and vacuums up food like a machine. She admitted finding his eating habits endearing during their courtship three years ago. The romance quickly soured after their first year of marriage when she began viewing him as a pig consumed by gluttony. The woman ordered fried chicken for them to share but arrived home to find he had eaten everything including the side dishes.
His ravenous behavior extends beyond their private meals into family gatherings where he consumed half the traditional Korean pancakes and reheated leftover braised short ribs. When Ms. A confronted him about his eating habits, he threatened her with violence and asked if she wanted to get hit. The husband also steals snacks meant for their children and fights with the kids over food. His appetite has created such financial strain that he opened a credit line just to order more chicken delivery.
Attorney Kim Mi-ru explained that excessive eating alone cannot justify divorce but related issues like verbal abuse and economic harm might qualify as unreasonable treatment. The lawyer recommended court-appointed marital counseling before pursuing divorce proceedings. Ms. A expressed willingness to try all options before ending her marriage despite considering divorce seriously.
