Recently, a post titled "I Got Married Trusting My Husband's Salary, But It Was a Lie" appeared on an online community.

The author, Ms. A, introduced herself as a female civil servant married for three months. She wrote, "Before we got married, my husband told me he earned around 100 million won a year. I believed him and married him, but after our wedding, I found out his actual salary was about 80 million won."

She continued, "Honestly, I felt betrayed at the time. I spent a while wondering if this was right and even considered getting a divorce."

She added, "My husband apologized repeatedly and begged me not to leave. Now, after work, he even works as a substitute driver to earn extra money. I didn't marry him purely for money, so for now, we are trying to make things work together."

Ms. A emphasized, "It's very important to verify each other's circumstances and realistic conditions before marriage. While emotions matter, the financial aspect has a bigger impact than people might think." She added, "You should never take these conditions and practical matters lightly before marriage."

Netizens who read the story criticized Ms. A, saying, "Making someone work two jobs when they're already earning 80 million won is too much," and "I feel sorry for the husband." One commenter pointed out, "Is that man truly happy? Anyone can see this marriage was a wrong choice."

However, some netizens sympathized with Ms. A's statement, saying, "The real issue is the feeling of betrayal, not the amount of money," and, "It's wrong to deceive someone." Another commenter advised, "Just tell him not to lie again and try to live peacefully together."
