Summary

He and his wife mutually ended the marriage without fighting or cheating, blaming depression, neglect, gaming, Discord, and poor communication. Feeling relieved, he describes marriage as suffocating and prioritizes freedom to travel, socialize, and pursue activities without criticism. Divorce invalidates his spouse visa, so he heads to Seoul for travel, dating, food, videos, and a $780 two-week Airbnb.

Insight

Freedom and novelty outweigh marital continuity, extending his recurring escape from boredom, conflict, and responsibility.
