👰 "A Solid Common-Law Marriage Collapsed with a Single Message"
The plaintiff had been maintaining a precious common-law marriage with their partner since 2020, even holding a wedding ceremony. However, their peaceful life was shattered by secret messages found on their partner's phone with a coworker.
💌 "Inappropriate Conversations with a Coworker"
The defendant (the other woman) engaged in the following inappropriate conversations, knowing that the partner was married:
-
Partner: "I'll just have dinner and hang out a bit before going home today," "Let's have a date in Seoul."
-
Defendant: "Come here and sleep over," "Didn't you leave your pajamas here?"
-
Admission of Infidelity: Eventually, the defendant admitted in a conversation with the plaintiff that she had sexual relations with the partner.
