    Americans have a much harsher way of saying about the same thing. Some have come up with The Principle of the 3 F's, which many people actually follow in their lives, even if they don't specifically acknowledge the 3F-principle:

    1. Find 'em
    2. F**k 'em
    3. Forget 'em

    Some people actually add a fourth F-word in between the above numbers 1 and 2, which is either "Feel 'em" or "Fool 'em"

    Ok, those who have Japanese wife.

    Without getting in trouble. Make a throwaway account if you need to.

    1. What was the biggest pleased / disappointed realization after marrying a Japanese versus your perception of what it would be like?
    2. How long until she changed to "real wife".
    3. How has encountering "real wife" compared to your ideal of marrying a Japanese woman initially.
    4. How did you learn to compromise with the real situation
    5. How has relationship with the inlaws developed past initial 1-2 years. (personally curious about that one)
    6a. Those who had money issues, how did this impact wife's behaviour.
    6b. Those who have no money issues or have done well, has wife's behaviour changed at all?

    I can share my experiences being engaged to a Japanese woman.

    When we first met, whatever suggestion I would make to her, she would immediately apply it. For example, she would wear somewhat revealing clothing and I asked if she could put something more conservative on. This led to her meeting me wearing a long dress and long sleeve silk blouse with sweater jacket and her hair bound up. On another occasion I suggested that she wear brighter clothing as her wardrobe was dark. Well, that ended up with neon orange shirt and neon green capri pants. Or when we went out to dinner and had tandori chicken at a restaurant where I commented how great the dish was. Well, I ate tandori chicken two nights in a row the following days, cooked in her kitchen. The affection and doting was more than I ever experienced with anyone, even my mother. It was extreme. Well, we ended up living together and I noticed that slowly my wardrobe was changing. As she washed my clothes, old t-shirts, pants and other clothing was disappearing and being replaced by new, ha...more conservative clothing. Also, my diet began to change and she kept persuading me to advance my career. It began to become clear that behind the facade of "I love you x10000" there was an agenda taking place. When we went to Japan to meet her family, I felt as if I was a specimen being weighed and judged. Apparently I passed the test but the instant love fest that developed was very odd.

    She would laugh at things that weren't jokes, so I told her only to laugh when truly feeling it. This led to dead pan facial expressions most of the time, though when she did laugh, it was genuine and special. I needed to know who I was with and this became my mission. To find out what I was connected to. I am not even sure she knew who she was, though I began to get this feeling that I was a pet. I say this because towards the end of my relationship with her, she let me know through different discussions her thoughts on relationship. First, she thought that American women were stupid to behave like men, to have a competing mindset as this lowered the woman down to man's level. Basically, (of course this is her opinions,not that of Japan) she was trained to see men as almost horses on the racetrack. A successful man has a good woman behind him and women judge each other through their husband's success. So, it's as if they live vicariously through the man's life, even if they have their own career, playing a support role and raising offspring. I am giving a rusty memory of what she had stated to me. It was a powerful moment akin to coming clean.

    In the end, I left the relationship because I was not ready to settle down. In hind sight I was an idiot who was frightened by the nature of the relationship and felt somewhat betrayed, discovering an actual woman plotting under the sugary sweet facade.
    I felt like a child, with no complex tools to contrast the psychological drama that she was orchestrating with different masks to manipulate my being. Had I remained, the existence would have been very comfortable, but the irritating tiny noise would be constantly in the peripheral, knowing that this is all being acted out on a stage or, with time, the proverbial clothes come off and love maturates and develops. I will never know.

    Thank you. I think your right. I am still searching for the right garden to pick vegetables because my produce basket has had some crazy fruit.

    I'll tell on thing that is true. In Japan money is more important than love. Japanese would rather divorce than be poor. I know this, my friends know this and even my female coworker who married a Japanese guy knows this. Very sad but it's true.

    Wow, it can't be all that bad? Sorry to hear that.

    I love my wife (obviously), married me a red head and I love the "fire-eness" of it, keeps me on my toe's lol! But I am glad she didn't marry me for financial gain (lol) or try to change me (allthough she rolls her eye's a lot).

    I'm not divorced but yeah, it is that bad. I want to buy a bigger more powerful car but tax and insurance cost much more so the missus gives me the old bullshit divorce crap because I want to spend money. Complete bitch but she's not the only one. Many of them do this. Just as well I have the "Whatever" attitude when it comes to this topic. I also have an ace over her. I've been promoted in my job twice with improved pay while she's still in the same pay grade since day one :D So I use that quite a lot.

    Money more important than Love?

    What the fuck.

    Sad.


    This makes me wonder if Western Romance movies are popular over there ... Because frequently it's "Fuck money, who cares about that. Love is more important!" type of mentality to it.

    True love is something many married Japanese lack.
