The conflict deepened as Ju-a criticized her partner's lack of proactive help and his failure to provide living expenses despite both being employed.

Conflicts surrounding the division of household chores and attitudes have intensified as unresolved tensions resurfaced. In the 20th episode of JTBC's 'Love War' broadcast on November 9, 2026, accumulated frustrations during the moving process exploded, leading to sharp verbal exchanges between the participants.

"I have to do everything alone"... Chore division conflict erupts on moving day

Participant Ju-a expressed strong dissatisfaction regarding the situation where she had to handle all tasks alone during the moving process. Mentioning detailed preparations ranging from researching moving companies to installing curtains, Ju-a claimed that excessive responsibility was placed solely on her, even though her partner was in a position to work together. In particular, she pointed out that she had to handle everything by herself on the moving day because it overlapped with her partner's work schedule, expressing frustration that she did not even receive a minimal apology. Ju-a raised her voice, noting that while both are working, her partner does not provide living expenses, yet work inevitably arises on moving days, leaving her to manage everything alone.

"An apology is not enough"... The cause of recurring conflict

Despite her partner offering an apology, the conflict did not cease. Ju-a characterized her partner's attitude as being driven by strong individualism, suggesting he only cares about himself. When the partner attempted to wrap up the situation with an apology, Ju-a expressed anger at the repetitive nature of the conversation, stating that the cycle was starting all over again. Ju-a revealed that the situation itself is stressful because she has to attend to every single detail, mentioning how she woke up in the morning unable to sleep and had to handle the organizing and cleaning. Ju-a further intensified the conflict by pointing out that her partner does not proactively look for things to do, noting that other men do not act that way.

During this process, Ju-a compared her partner's attitude to others, which led to the conflict deepening further. Observations were made among the participants that Ju-a is the type of person who becomes increasingly angry as she speaks, and that this is the result of emotions she has been suppressing for a long time. One participant reacted by suggesting that since she has endured this much, perhaps it is time for them to break up.
