Appearing in the program, Ms. Tuyet - currently working at a leather and footwear company - created a good impression with her sincerity and openness. Sharing about her past marriage, she said that she and her ex-husband met 5 years ago before getting married, then lived together for nearly 10 years and had two children.
However, married life did not go as expected. According to Ms. Tuyet, her ex-husband was a fun-loving person, often gathered with friends and lacked care for his family. What hurt her the most was that during many years of living together, family meals or meaningful conversations between husband and wife almost did not exist.
Many times I just wish for a full family meal, someone to sit down and eat together, share the stories of the day. But that is very difficult for me," she choked up.
After many attempts to nurture her but not receiving change from her partner, she decided to stop the marriage. Currently, her eldest son, 9 years old, lives with her father, while her 6-year-old daughter lives with her.
Facing Ms. Tuyet is Mr. Pham Nhat Cuong (40 years old), a design staff in Ho Chi Minh City. Coincidentally, he also went through a broken marriage and has a situation quite similar to the bride's family.
Mr. Cuong said that he used to be hot-tempered but spent many years changing. Every day after work, he often walks and spends time looking back at himself, reflecting on what he has done and has not done to improve himself.
Speaking about his previous marriage, he said that the reason for the breakup was not betrayal but differences in life views and economic expectations. After nearly 17 years of attachment, including love and marriage, the two decided to stop when they could no longer find common ground.
What he wants from his future partner is not appearance but understanding and a heart wide enough to accompany his situation.
I want women to know how to listen. Only when listening can they understand. My situation is not simple, so I need someone with a heart big enough to be tolerant and accept," he shared.
When Quyen Linh questioned Ms. Tuyet about Mr. Cuong's situation: "If a man only has a salary of 10 million VND and does not increase it forever, would he agree to date?". In response, Ms. Tuyet said that she does not care about finances, the important thing is to respect and understand.
When the curtain was lifted, both quickly found empathy from the stories they had experienced. Mr. Cuong brought a gift, a favorite book, and a sincere message. Meanwhile, Ms. Tuyet also frankly expressed her desire to be loved with simple things in life.
When asked what happiness is, she replied: "The small things you do for me also make me feel happy.
The similarity in thinking about family, children and life makes both of them gradually more open. In particular, when asked about having more children later, single mothers no longer want to have more babies, instead want to spend time taking care of their current children and building a new life. Mr. Cuong agreed with this view.
After a period of chatting, despite a little hesitation because she had been through a breakup, Ms. Tuyet still decided to press the button to agree. Mr. Cuong also made a similar choice.
The moment the two together pressed the button amidst the applause of the audience closed the story with a beautiful ending.
