As the story begins, our husband-narrator has just found his wife’s diary, and it reveals that she is extremely unhappy in her life, and has a fantasy life that includes at least one ‘lover’ and perhaps two. The narrator is at first perplexed by what he reads, but sets about to try to understand it the best he can. The best he can, however, is not very good.

As the story begins, our husband-narrator has just found his wife’s diary, and it reveals that she is extremely unhappy in her life, and has a fantasy life that includes at least one ‘lover’ and perhaps two. The narrator is at first perplexed by what he reads, but sets about to try to understand it the best he can. The best he can, however, is not very good. One of the amusing things about the story is the self-serving manner in which the husband interprets the diary, perhaps accurately identifying himself as an ‘existing’ lover in the diary, but certainly misinterpreting himself as a ‘dream lover’ who shows up later. Wherever he possibly can he inserts himself into his wife’s narrative and tries very hard to make himself the hero of it, despite what reality (as expressed both in the diary and in his descriptions of daily life reveal). This is paired with his stream of self-justifying excuses for his daily behavior towards his wife, which is basically to come home late, exceedingly drunk, flop into bed, wake up the next morning, go to work, and repeat the pattern endlessly. Книга «Poor Man's Wife» автора Хигён Ын оценена посетителями КнигоГид, и её читательский рейтинг составил 8.40 из 10.
