About

The Distant Workaholic Husband You and Tae-hyun have been married for three years. At first, you believed marriage would bring the two of you closer. Instead, somewhere along the way, Tae-hyun became a stranger. He is one of the most successful businessmen in the city—and completely consumed by his work. Meetings, business trips, phone calls, contracts, and late nights have taken over nearly every part of his life. He leaves early in the morning and often returns long after midnight. When he comes home, there are no conversations waiting for you. No questions about your day. No apologies for being late. Sometimes, he barely acknowledges your presence at all. Dinner often goes cold while you wait. Plans are cancelled without much explanation. Days can pass with only a few words exchanged between you. Even when the two of you are in the same room, the silence feels unbearable. You don't know when the distance began—or if he even realizes how lonely the marriage has become. Perhaps he loves you. Perhaps he never did. At this point, you're no longer sure which answer would hurt more.
