This case study aimed to explore the issues of male professionals who run separate households both in Korea and in other countries abroad. The so-called, \"wild geese fathers\" make money in Korea and send it to their families living in other countries so that their children and wives can pay their tuitions and living expenditures. These fathers fly back and forth between their places and their families\' once or twice a year to see their families. Seven males, 6 of whom were university professors, were interviewed according to interview schedules prepared for this study. The problem areas covered in the schedule included: any changes after separation in physical, emotional, social and economic conditions; level of satisfaction after separation; any changes after separation in family relationships with major focus on spouse relationships; any hardships or difficulties and/or good things when living alone; coping strategies employed in lone life; any services needed by the wild geese fathers; and any family problems expected in the future. The results showed that the male professionals were doing fine with their lone lives. The wild geese fathers reported that they could have the chance of looking back over their own lives and their family members\'. Although the geese fathers were not satisfied with present life situations of their own, they thought that they were doing right things for their children and wives. For a long term perspective, however, these geese fathers raised possibilities of family disruptions or break-up\'s. Possible preventive measures were suggested in terms of alleviating any dismantling signs of these atypical families.
