Discovering a husband with a stepdaughter, how should women choose?

Mai Hương |

The detail that the husband has a stepdaughter in "Familiar Family" causes controversy about the choice of a woman when her marriage is betrayed.

The movie "Fairy Without a Sign" unexpectedly revealed Mr. Phi's story of having an illegitimate child after 19 episodes of "building the image of a model husband" has created a big shock to the audience. Not only is it a dramatic knot in the movie, this situation also raises a burning question in real life: if one day a husband is found to have an illegitimate child, what should a woman do?

In the film, Mr. Phi has a child with a female colleague on a business trip, from being drunk and sad about family matters. Everything is hidden until the woman dies, leaving the child alone.

From here, the tragedy not only fell on the husband, but weighed heavily on Ms. Anh's shoulders - the wife who believed that she was living in a complete family.

For many female audiences, this is not simply a "one-time affair" story. What hurts them more is betraying trust. A man who still fulfills the role of husband and father for many years but hides a truth that can completely change his wife's life.

Many opinions suggest that "one-time slips" can be considered for forgiveness, but hiding them for a long time is the most unacceptable thing.

Also from here a big debate arose: the child is innocent, but does the wife have an obligation to be tolerant? Some viewers believe that no matter how painful it is, adults should not push tragedy to an orphaned child. Conversely, many people argue that it is impossible to force a woman to be noble instead of her husband's mistakes, and even more impossible to force them to live with a "hurt" every day.

Another opinion raises the question: because of a common child, should the wife be patient or decisive? Staying can maintain family form, but if faith has broken, will that marriage still be a spiritual support? Leaving is painful, but staying in resignation also causes no small amount of hurt.

Many comments were left such as: "Being drunk is not a reason. Once is betrayal", "I really feel sorry for the baby, but I feel more sorry for the wife. No one has the right to force her to be tolerant"; "If the husband really repents, is transparent and responsible, he can give her a chance. But hiding it for decades is too much"; "This film touches the fear of women: trusting too much in the image of'standard husbands'"...

The story of "Gia dinh trai dau" is therefore not just a film script, but a mirror reflecting many families in real life: when the truth is exposed, there is no easy choice, only the option to hurt less.
