A couple who have been living together for seven years despite their divorce appeared on "Oh Eun-young Report - Marriage Hell."

In Episode 186 of MBC's "Oh Eun-young Report - Marriage Hell" (hereinafter referred to as "Marriage Hell"), which aired on the 5th, a couple known as "still married" appeared. They have been living together and running a beef bone soup restaurant for seven years after their divorce.

On this day, the wife confessed that her husband's alcohol-fueled violence began just three months into their marriage. She revealed that he once stomped on her abdomen while she was sleeping, fracturing her ribs, and that he had submerged her head in water because she came home late, shocking viewers.

The wife also carried another wound as deep as the physical abuse. Despite expressing her refusal multiple times, her husband continued marital relations coercively. In particular, she revealed that her husband showed no consideration for her even after her uterine fibroid surgery, when her body had not yet fully recovered. The husband argued, "If I don't be coercive, do I have to wait indefinitely?" and "I am young and vigorous; how else can I release my energy? Who else is there but my wife?" leaving listeners in shock.

Oh Eun-yeong (Dr.) firmly pointed out the husband's mindset, stating that mutual consent and agreement are always essential in marital relations. Regarding the act of submerging the wife in water, she stated bluntly, "That is torture and extreme sadistic violence. It is attempted murder." She further noted, "Even if the wife did something wrong, he should not hit her. He should be afraid of his own actions, but he is too self-assured," sharply pointing out that the husband was justifying all forms of violence by attaching reasons to them.

The couple's wounds extended to their children as well. The wife said that although their children advised her to divorce, she continued the marriage because she could not bear to leave her children behind. However, the grown-up children eventually turned their backs on their mother for staying by their father's side, and currently do not even answer her calls.

Financial issues also kept the two together. The beef bone soup restaurant, which once had lines of customers, saw a significant drop in sales after the COVID-19 pandemic. During that time, the husband expanded to a second floor and started a Korean buffet and a takeout factory for beef bone soup without sufficient consultation with his wife, but these ventures failed one after another, causing the couple's debt to swell to approximately 650 million won. Ultimately, the wife demanded a divorce over the factory business, and the two became legally separated in 2019.

However, because the restaurant could not be sold, their partnership continued even after the divorce. The wife hinted that she wanted to reconcile and spend her remaining life together, but the husband refused, saying, "One is water and the other is oil." In response, Oh Eun-yeong (Dr.) delivered an unusual conclusion, stating, "There is no healing report today," and drew a line by saying, "I cannot tell the wife to try harder to get along with her husband. Your marriage is already a finished relationship." However, she advised that they must responsibly settle their shared debts and property issues for there to be a chance for their children to return to their parents' side.

Throughout the counseling session, the husband, who had insisted on burying the past and refused to change his stance, finally bowed his head when pointed out about the wounds he had left on his children. He then took his wife's hand and apologized in tears, saying, "I am sorry for causing you so much trouble all this time. Please forgive me. I'm sorry, honey. Thank you." The wife, who had waited so long to hear those words, also burst into tears.
