What if a spouse hid a genetic disease? The controversy over neurofibromatosis and divorce—what are your thoughts?

💔 "They didn't say anything before marriage... the children inherited the disease!"
💥 "My husband hid that he has neurofibromatosis. Should I get a divorce?"

 

The story revealed on JTBC's 'Divorce Reflection Camp' is causing a huge controversy.

 

Wife: "Our children inherited neurofibromatosis... My husband didn't tell me he had this disease before we got married!"
Husband: "I didn't realize this illness would become such a problem..."
Wife: "I have to worry about the kids' health for the rest of my life, but I want a divorce!"

 

 

🔥 "Should I definitely disclose that I have this illness before getting married?"
🔥 "Is divorce the right answer? Or is there a solution?"

 

This controversy involves a very complex story that includes marriage, childbirth, genetic diseases, and issues of trust.

Even those who haven't seen the 'Divorce Reflection Camp' should seriously consider this issue.

🩺 What kind of disease is a neurofibroma?

 

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a hereditary disorder characterized by the development of tumors in the nervous system.

 

✔ 50% genetic probability → the chance that a child will be affected if one parent has it
A lump (tumor) develops along the nerve → If it enlarges, it may cause physical deformity
Multiple brown spots (cafe au lait spots) appear on the skin
✔ Possibility of bone deformity, scoliosis, and decline in vision and hearing
✔ Compression of nerves may cause severe pain, nerve damage, and impairment of organ function

 

📢 "Then, should I tell you about this before we get married?"
📢 "Is divorce the right answer, or is there a solution?"

However, to understand this story more deeply, one important element must not be overlooked.
Right, it is in a severe state of my wife's 'health anxiety.'

 

 

😨 "My wife is very anxious"... Did health anxiety make the problem worse?

There is also an analysis suggesting that this couple's conflict is not solely due to neurofibromas.

 

Features of the wife on the broadcast

✔ Excessively worrying about children's health and blaming all problems on 'neurofibromatosis'
✔ No matter how much my husband explains, it's emotionally difficult to accept
✔ Worsening health anxiety (illness anxiety disorder) leads to a burst of marital conflict

 

💡 In other words, it was not the neurofibroma itself, but 'my wife's excessive anxiety' that caused the greater conflict!
💡 If medical consultation and psychological therapy are combined, the couple may be able to resolve this issue.

 

🚨 But what if the real problem is that my husband truly hid his illness?
🚨 What are the list of genetic diseases that should be disclosed before marriage?

List of genetic diseases to disclose before marriage

💡 "Should genetic diseases be disclosed before marriage?"

 

 

The following conditions have a high genetic probability, so it may be important to consult in advance.

 

Neurofibromas (NF1, NF2) → 50% genetic probability
Huntington's disease → 50% chance of inheritance (possible onset of neurodegenerative disease after middle age)
🔹 Da Nang Shin → 50% chance of inheritance (kidney function decline, possibility of renal failure)
🔹 Hereditary breast cancer (BRCA gene) → 50-80% chance of occurrence in women
Cystic fibrosis → 25% chance of inheritance (causes lung and digestive system problems)

 

🧐 "Then, should I not get married if I have neurofibromatosis?"
The correct answer is "No!"

Now is the era when neurofibromas can also be treated! 🚀
