On the dating program "You want to date", the story of male worker Pham Ngoc Khanh (42 years old, Dong Nai) and the owner of the fruit plantation Ly Thi Thu Van (44 years old, Khanh Hoa, living in Con Dao) moved many audiences.
Both have gone through broken marriages, carrying many emotional wounds but still open their hearts to find opportunities to continue together.
Sharing on the program, Thu Van said that she had been married for four years but her husband often worked far away, got into gambling and was unfaithful.
After the divorce, she met another man, who had visited his family in Can Tho and gave her a necklace of about a golden tree. However, later, she discovered that her boyfriend had sold gold and returned to his ex-wife. When I learned the truth, I quietly withdrew, not blaming or making a big deal out of it, Thu Van confided.
Meanwhile, Ngoc Khanh said he got married in 2008, and they divorced after living together for 10 years. He is currently raising a 16-year-old son, while his ex-wife is taking care of a 10-year-old child. Ngoc Khanh shared that his son has a mental illness so he is not as agile as his peers, causing him to always try twice as hard to make up for it. Previously, I worked in a commune, with a low income, and my wife and I often had economic conflicts. My ex-wife often compared me to others, so her feelings gradually cracked, Ngoc Khanh confided.
When MC Quyen Linh asked about the possibility of living in Con Dao if they came together, Ngoc Khanh frankly said that he still had many constraints: his parents were old, his son needed care. Thu Van expressed sympathy and willingness to sacrifice to facilitate her partner: "If it were suitable, I could go to Dong Nai to live. If it is not favorable, let me earn money in Con Dao for 1-2 years, then we will arrange it."
From the audience, Ngoc Khanh's mother also encouraged her son to boldly seize the opportunity: "You can go back and forth between Dong Nai and Con Dao. The two children kept pressing the button, giving each other a chance.
When the fence opened, Ngoc Khanh and Thu Van had time to talk directly. In the same broken situation, both easily sympathized and shared their desire to find a peaceful support. Ngoc Khanh said that he only needs a woman who is knowledgeable about sharing, understanding, and skillful in dealing with people. Thu Van hopes her partner will be sincere, family-oriented and absolutely not cheat.
Throughout the conversation, the sincerity of both touched the hearts of viewers. In particular, Thu Van expressed her wish that her partner would not be jealous because of the nature of her work, which is often communication. As for her, she pledged to put all her trust in each other, making the audience believe that the couple has many opportunities to build long-term happiness.
At the end of the exchange, Ngoc Khanh and Thu Van pressed the button together, officially giving each other a chance to get to know each other. In front of her mother's witness, Ngoc Khanh asked permission to date Thu Van, while his mother happily shared: "Just as long as the two of you get to know each other, I'm happy, the whole audience here is happy too".
