Can confirm. Wife tells me all the time about how shitty Japanese guys are as husbands (heard all of her friends complain), and how happy she is that I’m not Japanese.
Even stay at home mothers without jobs do an insane amount of work here, with husbands expecting home made meals. This is all anecdotal of course, but I hear Japanese husbands almost never participate in any household chores. Wives don’t even bother asking as they are afraid of being seen as incompetent at doing housework. I can only imagine the schedules for working women! Mind you, Japan is not a society where hiring others to watch your kids is a common thing. Women typically do most of the kid raising on their own, with husbands only around on weekends and holidays.
- distantaidenn 7y agoYour wife married a foreigner, and you are touting her bias as some overarching trend? Japanese men bad; foreigner good. Come on... I respect that you admit it's anecdotal, but this goes well into data gleaned from self selection bias.
- mrhappyunhappy 7y agoMy wife didn't marry me because Japanese guys are shitty, she was far too young to know better when we met. This is coming from a person who interacts with married women living in Japan. Her personal opinion of Japanese guys was not formed until after interactions with these women. Even then, you could argue she is biased just by the company she keeps. I'm just telling you what I hear from my sources.
