Appearing in the latest episode of the program "You Want to Date", Mr. Phan Dinh Hoang (37 years old, Dong Nai) and Ms. Thanh Huong (35 years old, Ho Chi Minh City) both brought their own stories after a breakup.
Sharing with the program, Mr. Hoang - owner of a business specializing in designing wine cellars and constructing assembly houses and resorts, said that he got married in 2009 and had a happy life for many years. However, economic upheavals during the COVID-19 epidemic caused difficulties in work and increased family pressure. The nature of work often going far away and receiving guests made him have less time to be with his family, leading to conflicts.
My ex-wife has a habit of sharing with friends every time we argue, making things more tense. I don't like arguing, I often choose to remain silent or go out to calm down," Mr. Hoang said. After many years of trying, the two decided to divorce in 2023.
On the other side, Ms. Thanh Huong - a secondary school teacher, also went through a marriage lasting about 3 years before breaking up. Currently, she is a single mother, raising her 9-year-old son alone. After the divorce, she focused on work and taking care of her son, only opened her heart once more but failed.
Ms. Huong frankly shared her criteria when coming to the program: "I need someone who knows how to be tolerant and especially loves my child. Even loving my child more than me is okay.
During the meeting, the two quickly found common ground when both emphasized peace in the family, avoiding conflicts. Mr. Hoang emphasized his point of view: do not bring work pressure home, do not offend relatives on both sides when conflicts occur.
The most important thing is not to let adult matters affect children. If you love each other, you must also love each other's children," he said.
Regarding the future, Mr. Hoang said he is ready to adjust his work, reduce projects to have time for his family. Meanwhile, Ms. Huong wants to build a stable life in Ho Chi Minh City to conveniently take care of her children and develop her career.
After the conversation, both had good feelings. Mr. Hoang assessed the female friend as strong and sincere, while Ms. Huong commented that the other person had ambition and was suitable for building a family.
At the end of the program, the couple together pressed the dating button, officially giving each other the opportunity to get to know each other.
