Wife Exhausted by Husband's Demands for Money and Intimacy Considers Divorce

A Vietnamese woman, married for over 20 years, is contemplating divorce due to her husband's indifference and financial failures. She has built her own company and single-handedly financed her three children's education and living expenses. Her husband has suffered significant financial losses over the years and is now attempting to start over from scratch, having been largely absent from family matters. The woman, having navigated a challenging upbringing, strived for financial independence to provide a loving environment for her children. However, her husband reportedly demands she 'earn more money and also satisfy him intimately,' resorting to verbal abuse when his expectations are not met. While she worries about the emotional impact on her children, especially her youngest daughter, of losing their father, she believes divorce is the only path forward for her own well-being and her children's brighter future. Her eldest son is already in university, excelling academically and receiving a scholarship. Her second son is in high school, and her youngest daughter is in elementary school. She is confident in her financial ability to support all her children. This woman's story raises new questions about traditional family values in Vietnamese society, women's economic independence in the modern era, and the evolving nature of marital relationships.
