I have been married for five years. My husband has a child with his ex-wife, so I became a foster mother. My child and I have a good relationship... Now I am debating with myself whether I should get a divorceĀ or just go with the flow of life.
My husband is Korean. I am a full time homemaker. I do household chores, take care of my adopted son, and recently found a part-time job to help financially and save money for myself. Living in Korea is difficult. Different lifestyle, culture, characters, habits, etc. So yes, it's hard for me, but I try my best to be a better wife and mom. Last month there was an incident (self harm) that got my in-laws involved with my family/marriage. The funny thing is that they didn't even ask if I was okay, or at least didn't ask why I did it. They just came to our house and settled in. I feel like they are treating me like a foreign criminal. They want me and my husband to get a divorce. But if we insist on not getting a divorce, they have to live in our house and monitor my actions every time. They make the rules. I have to be an "obedient daughter-in-law" to them, I have to eat foods I hate, like kimchi, I have to show them that I am Korean... Basically, they will rule our house. My husband doesn't like to leave his parents. He chooses his parents over me. My husband and I are fine. But we are very tense about his family controlling everything. The most heartbreaking thing I've learned: from the beginning, my in-laws don't want their son and I to have a baby. As if their grandson (my husband's son from his first wife) was enough for them, as if what was my purpose? Just to take care of their first grandchild? Just to cook and clean the house? My dream is to have a normal family. To have a child of my own.

If you think that 4104 was tough, try doing what I had to recently...took a J4500 from The Port over to the Academy garage in Hoboken with a broken power steering system....
