'Oh Eun-young Report - Marriage Hell' revealed the true reason behind the 'top-priority couple' who have stopped communicating for a year.

In the 184th episode of MBC's 'Oh Eun-young Report - Marriage Hell' (hereinafter 'Marriage Hell'), broadcast on the 7th, a couple in their seventh year of marriage raising four sons appeared. The husband reported that he lived constantly walking on eggshells under his wife's silence and even developed severe depression. The wife countered that she stopped speaking because any conversation with her husband ended in an argument. Additionally, economic conflicts surrounding the husband's immersion in exercise and hobbies, as well as the story of their eldest child living away from the family, were revealed, exposing the complex circumstances behind the couple's communication breakdown.

In the observation footage, the couple never exchanged even a single glance despite being in the same space. Even when the husband initiated conversation, the wife gave only brief replies, and the silence lasted as long as two weeks. The husband admitted that he felt ignored without knowing what he had done wrong. After suffering from indigestion and sleep disorders, he was diagnosed with severe depression and took medication for over two years. He overcame his depression by running 10 kilometers every day. In contrast, the wife confessed that she is most afraid when her husband says, "Let's talk," explaining that the continuous questions felt like attacks.

Notably, the wife, who naturally conversed with members at her Pilates center, stated that she felt as though words were stuck in her throat only in front of her husband, raising curiosity. Observing this, Oh Eun-yeong (Dr.) noted that the wife's social anxiety was very high and mentioned 'selective mutism.' When required to speak or suddenly nervous, the muscles used for speaking can become rigid. Upon hearing that she did not intentionally remain silent out of disregard or dislike for her husband, the wife could not hide her surprise, saying it was a fact she had never known in her life. The husband also said, "All the feelings I experienced are now explained," and late in understanding his wife.

However, the couple's conflict extended beyond communication issues. The husband, who began exercising to overcome depression, was recently even shooting body profiles and managing himself meticulously. Yet, the wife pointed out that her husband is the number one priority in his life, noting that he would take out chicken breast whenever time allowed, even at kids' cafes, and tried to postpone his mother's birthday gathering due to dietary reasons. As details emerged about spending 3 million won on running shoes, approximately 0.1 billion won on an aquarium, and 3 million won on a refrigerator dedicated solely to chicken breast, the husband responded with agitation, pulling out items such as the security deposits for the house and Pilates center he had covered, along with expensive gifts.

Furthermore, the wife revealed an incident in which her husband's license was revoked due to drunk driving in the past, resulting in a fine of approximately 9 million won. With business failures and debts owed to acquaintances added, his total debt neared 1 million won, forcing him to sell even an apartment he had won through housing subscription. However, the husband countered that the sitter costs incurred while his wife operated a Pilates center that was not generating profit were also included in the debt, urging her not to place all responsibility solely on him. In response, Oh Eun-yeong (Dr.) drew a line stating that the husband is currently neither depressed nor in a state of burnout, pointing out that his efforts are directed only toward himself rather than his family.

Towards the end of the broadcast, at 3 a.m. when everyone was asleep, the eldest child, who had not appeared throughout the observation footage, cautiously opened the door and entered. Seeing on screen the eldest child, who lives away from the family and sends messages to the wife whenever her husband returns from work, the wife began to cry. The husband then said, "It seems we can't help that we're not related by blood," foreshadowing yet another conflict.
