Appearing in the program "The Third Person", Ms. T (34 years old, Ho Chi Minh City) made many viewers heartbroken when recounting her journey of two marriage breakdowns, both stemming from the appearance of a "third person".
According to her sharing, her second marriage took place after she divorced and had a riêng daughter. Before that, her ex-husband cheated, causing her relationship to break down.
The second husband was a virgin, never married. During the post-divorce crisis, this man was by her side to encourage and help her overcome difficulties, making her always in a "gratitude" mentality and accepting to yield in everything.
I think he came to me at a disadvantage, so I try to endure it, I don't dare to demand it," Ms. T said.
The incident happened when she was pregnant with her second child during the epidemic. Instead of receiving attention, she had to face a cold attitude from her husband. This person said that pregnancy was her own choice. When she contracted COVID-19, she was also asked to leave home for fear of infection.
The climax was when she discovered her husband cheating when she was pregnant. The third woman is said to be her husband's superior, knowing her circumstances but still maintaining the relationship. When discovered, the husband did not deny it but admitted it with an indifferent attitude, causing her to completely collapse.
The mental shock caused her amniotic fluid to rupture when she was only 36 weeks pregnant. In a dangerous time, she had to be hospitalized to give birth on her own without receiving support from her husband. After giving birth, this person only appeared for a short time and then left.
Even so, she still tried to forgive with the hope of reconciling the family. However, the adultery continued to recur, causing her to decide to end the marriage.
Listening to the story, director Le Hoang expressed his frank opinion. He believes that the reason does not only come from the ex-husband but also from Ms. T's excessive submission. "Knowing that people come to you for money but still getting married is a mistake. When you put yourself in a lower position, the other person will no longer respect you," he said.
After two broken marriages, Ms. T had to face difficult circumstances when she could not raise both children. The eldest daughter lived with her, while the second child lived with her father. Not only that, she also suffered psychological pressure when her ex-husband repeatedly used children to put pressure.
In an effort to change her life, she once intended to go abroad to work to improve her economy. However, because of worrying about her children, she repeatedly abandoned the plan. Before this hesitation, director Le Hoang said that she needed to be more decisive, set long-term goals instead of being dominated by temporary emotions.
Ms. T's story is seen as a warning about the consequences of losing oneself in a relationship. Incorrect patience can cause those involved to suffer prolonged harm.
Closing the program, the character said he had learned a lesson about loving oneself, setting limits and daring to make decisions to protect his life.
