At the program "Dinnerinnerinner", the meeting between Mr. Nguyen Trung Tri (48 years old, driving teacher) and Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Nga (44 years old, specialist of the Organizing Committee of the Medical Center in Ho Chi Minh City) brought the audience a reflective dating story.
Both Mr. Tri and Ms. Nga are living and working in Ho Chi Minh City. Mr. Tri is a man who has been married for nearly 20 years, has three children, of which the two of them are independent. After his marriage broke down because he could not accept his ex-wife's gambling habits, he chose to live a quiet life, setting a single principle for the woman next to him: not gambling. "In addition to that, I can accept all other shortcomings," Mr. Tri shared.
Meanwhile, Ms. Thanh Nga is a calm woman who has been attached to her ex-husband for 10 years. She has two children, a 13-year-old child and a 5-year-old child. For her, the biggest lesson learned from a broken heart is the need for a man who knows how to care, understand and share. "A husband and wife can talk to each other every day, share small things to get on the road," Ms. Nga confided.
In the introduction, the two quickly realized many similarities: they both liked coffee, chatted with friends, lived in the inner city of Ho Chi Minh City and both promoted simplicity in life.
However, the difference also soon appeared when Mr. Tri admitted that he still smokes - something that Ms. Nga did not like much. However, she still frankly shared her point of view: moderate limitations, for health and for future family.
The conversation gradually became more intense as both of them looked back at their old injuries. Mr. Tri talked about the long time he tried to nurture an un Savible marriage, about the tears that could not be put into words. Ms. Nga also opened her heart when sharing about her illness and journey to learn to live positively after health and marriage incidents. It is this sincerity that has helped the two gradually feel sympathy for each other.
The moment of removing the mask and giving gifts made the atmosphere even closer. The gift of an eye massager that Mr. Tri gave Ms. Nga carries the delicate attention, while the tie Ms. Nga chose for Mr. Tri shows her desire for meticulousness and companionship in important moments of life.
In response to the decisive question, both were frank about their worries: children, family, responsibilities and the future. However, it is worth noting the willingness to listen and accept. My children are very happy to see that their father is no longer lonely, said Mr. Tri. Ms. Nga admitted that the biggest difficulties were her young child and the consent of the family, but she also wanted to give herself and the other person a chance.
At the end of the program, Mr. Tri and Ms. Nga held hands and decided to continue to get to know each other.
