On the 10th, a post titled "My Husband's Alumni Association Gatherings" was uploaded to an online community, drawing attention. The author, Ms. A, began by saying, "I'm worried because of my husband in his 50s attending alumni gatherings," and added, "My husband is an executive of the alumni association, so he actively participates in the meetings."

Ms. A explained the situation, saying, "This morning, he answered a phone call very formally and hung up immediately, so I asked what kind of call it was, and he said it was from a female alumnus." She continued, "He said he answered formally as if it wasn't an alumnus because he was worried I might be concerned. After that, he even deleted the call records." She added, "One of the alumni had a bereavement, so he said he was contacted to go to the funeral together, but my husband's attitude seems suspicious." She also revealed, "When they have alumni meetings, they book a pension and stay overnight for one or two days, which is also hard to understand."

Ms. A expressed, "Since he is an executive, he often has to contact the alumni, but watching quietly makes me feel frustrated," and "The topic of divorce even came up because of the alumni meetings, but my husband treats me like I have morbid jealousy. I feel suffocated wondering how much I should tolerate."

Netizens who read the story responded negatively with comments such as, "We need to check if it's an alumni meeting or an affair," "Where do alumni meetings last for one or two days?" "Deleting call records is suspicious," "If the wife dislikes it, shouldn't he stop attending the meetings?" and "Put yourself in her shoes; the wife should also meet alumni and go on a one or two-day trip."

On the other hand, some netizens responded with comments like, "If it's an alumni meeting, I think it should be understood," "Being an alumni association executive must be busy," and "The wife seems to lack understanding."

Previously, in December last year, lawyer Lee Ji-hoon, who appeared on MBN's 'Sokpuri Show Dongchimi,' mentioned that elementary school alumni meetings are a hotbed for affairs. The lawyer explained, "(Alumni meetings) share childhood memories and experiences. When people reach their 70s and 80s, there may be family discord," and added, "Recalling childhood memories can relax the mind and make them want to return."
