Yoon Suk-min's wife: "I felt like it was a fraudulent marriage due to how my husband changed after having a child"

The wife of former baseball player Yoon Suk-min expressed her disappointment regarding her husband's changed behavior following the birth of their child. In a video released on the YouTube channel 'Dongchimi', Yoon Suk-min's wife mentioned that their lifestyles have changed significantly from their dating days to after marriage, explaining that her husband's attitude changed from the moment they had a child.

"Husband was devoted during dating days"

Yoon Suk-min's wife recalled that her husband's appearance during their dating period was quite different from now. According to the remarks in the video, during their dating days, Yoon Suk-min showed a meticulous side, such as preparing meals like soybean paste stew or spicy stir-fried pork for his wife when she visited Gwangju, or taking care of medicine for her health. Additionally, he showed consideration for his wife by choosing her clothes when going out, and she shared that he was so devoted that even among his fellow players, it was mentioned that his wife would peel fruit for him.

Solo parenting and household burden started after childbirth

However, the wife said the situation changed abruptly after she gave birth to the child. Along with the burden felt from being solely in charge of childcare, she pointed out that her husband's lifestyle is no longer what it used to be. The wife explained that even after the child was born, her husband maintains the same lifestyle as before, and the situation of 'solo parenting,' where she has to handle childcare alone rather than sharing the responsibility, continues. In particular, she mentioned that due to the environmental characteristics of Gwangju, it is difficult to receive help from those around her, and these changes have accumulated as a psychological burden.

Specific examples were also presented regarding the division of household chores. The wife said that after the husband requests a meal to be prepared, he does not actually eat together but leaves immediately to play games. She shared an experience where she doubted her husband's sincerity when, despite saying he needs to eat well for his health, he hurriedly eats the prepared meal and gets up. The wife added that she even worried about making him take care of his own meals for his health, but conflicts occurred during this process of trying.

Difference in perspective on "people do not change"

In the video, a conversation continued regarding the perspective on viewing these changes. The cast members shared opinions that a change in behavior and a person's character 'maturing' are issues of different dimensions. The conversation unfolded in the context that while behavior can change according to social roles, essential tendencies can be maintained. One cast member mentioned the perspective that a person should live consistently, expressing the view that people who have already matured when they were young tend to maintain that texture even as adults.
