Wife Talks I can still clearly remember the first time I met my husband, I remember the color of his clothes, where we sat, the way he smiled as he answered my questions for his English level interview. Year 2001 he went to the Philippines to study English and, as destiny made it, he entered the institute where I worked for. He said it was love at first sight the moment he saw me, but unfortunately it was not the same for me. Of course I also thought he was handsome, but there were many other handsome students who were trying to have Filipino girlfriends although they weren t sincere, for me he was just one of my many students. But then he did his best to show me that he was sincere. Every morning he waited in front of the institute to give me his love letters, I rejected him several times but he persisted. Then one day I was so sick and couldn t go to work. He came and took care of me. That s when I started to look at him as a man. That was the first time I knew he was special, and that s when our love started. After he came back to Korea we continued our relationship, he called me 7 times a day and we emailed each other. He was just a student then and he had to get several part time jobs so he could pay his phone bills and buy plane tickets to visit me in the Philippines. One time his telephone bill ran up to 2 million won in one month and he was in trouble with his family because of this. Fortunately he got a job in Doosan and was able to pay for the telephone bills. After one month of working he asked to have a vacation for a month so that he could go to the Philippines and marry me. I didn t think the company would allow him to do that but they did, and for that I am very grateful. 2002 April I came to Korea as wife to a wonderful man. I came to appreciate my husband more after we came to Korea. My past made me have a very strong personality and be very independent. I am used to making all the important decisions for my life, and sometimes even for others, but after coming to Korea I had to depend on my husband for even very simple things. I couldn t go out one block away from our house for fear that I would get lost and couldn t get directions. I couldn t understand anything on TV so I was bored all day long waiting for my husband to come home, having many other inconveniences. This is how I came to know how patient and dependable my husband is. Even if he came home late, he took me out for walks every night so that I could get used to our neighborhood. He spent all his weekends teaching me how to get on a subway or a bus and brought me to a catholic church, he bought books so that I could study how to read and write Korean, and so many other things. It was like taking care of a child who didn t know how to do anything at all. But he did all these without any complaints and 30 DOOSAN_2007 10

if I ask him if he is okay with it, he would say I m house. But the biggest completely okay.. Life in a foreign land wasn t blessing so far is our too difficult for me because of my husband, I was able to son. He looks adjust well due to his love and support. exactly like his father. Some people say we always look happy together, so they And I pray that some day my son ask Do you ever fight? I will not lie, of course we fight. I will not only resemble my cried a lot when he came home at dawn after drinking with husband physically but also as a person. his co-workers. That was the number 1 reason why we Just last month our family was given the fought. I couldn t understand why the men had to drink late opportunity to be featured on a TV program. At after working very hard. I wanted my husband to come home that time I felt a little sorry to my husband and take a rest and be a more productive worker the next day. because I think the feature focused a lot I guess my husband told his co-workers about my complaint more on me and our son and not so much and so sometimes when they have to go out for a drink the about him. When I told him team leader calls me and says about this he said Darling, Sorry, we have to borrow your husband tonight, don t worry. I ll make sure he doesn t drink too much or go home too late or sometimes other co-workers call me and say the same thing. I remember I hung up on one of his co-workers because I was angry. Now I still complain about that (I know other wives also understand how I feel) but I try to understand my husband more. I know there aren t many ways for him to relieve his stress, hhmmmm??? Come to think of it, I hope the company will introduce other ways for the workers to relieve stress even while working, like an exercise program (just a suggestion). There is not enough space in here for me to be able to say all the things I appreciate and love about my husband, all I can do is to hold it all in my heart and treasure them forever. It has been 5 years and our love keeps getting stronger, as our love grows I can say that our life is also getting better. At first we rented a one-room, then it became two and now we have our own three-room for me you are always the heroine for everything. That s my husband, he always lets me shine and be the main character. So this time I am taking this chance for him to be the hero. I am very proud of my man, he is a wonderful husband, an amazing father and trust worthy person. I have no regrets marrying him and every morning it is my pleasure to wake up right beside him and look into his eyes. You may notice that I said my man several times. Yes he is my man! I think the measure of a man is not in how much money he earns, or how high his position is etc. If you ask me the definition of a real man I will look at my husband and say I married a real one, some day I hope my son would be a great man like his father. Some told me. Some Korean women are now crying because you married him. I just laugh and say it s their fault because they only saw the rock, but I saw the diamond inside. My darling,!
