This is so much more realistic than people thing. This kind of stuff really happens. Sometimes even the ml happens to make the fl realize they need to leave their relationship. I think that's why I like it so much. I'm literally around her age and I've seen to many times. The ex is so much like many men who leave their wives for younger, prettier versions cause they're bored or stressed or whatever. They regret it later tho.
exactly!! at first i wasn’t a huge fan of the story because i thought it was very stereotypical and cookie cutter. where the mc is the naturally beautiful, submissive wife that ended up with a bad man. and then the ml would be the wattpad badboy savior 2.0. but now im really in love with the storytelling and mc, while the ml is obviously flawed within his plotting
these latest chapters have been SO good at representing and explaining women who stay in horrible relationships especially throughout their early adulthood. these disgusting men then go on to crave validation from younger/“untouched” girls + other males as a form of social currency… yet punish their wife for accepting and loving them despite their flaws
this is one of my worst nightmares. a husband becoming a shell of his former self and choosing to be your biggest enemy, abuser, and bully
i regret my initial thoughts about mc because i believed she was a mary sue. too perfect, written to be a overly gracious maiden needing saving. but these past few chapters have been extremely raw… there isn’t any exaggeration with how she behaved at the start of the story until now. the backstory of her and micheol really explained it all without feeling underwhelming or “fake”
