These are examples of why a Japanese Wife may start hating their foreign husband. As many of you know, I’ve been married to my Japanese wife Maiko, for over 3.5 years now in Japan. During this time I’ve learned first hand quite a bit about what Japanese women culturally expect when living with a Foreign Husband, like me from the United States, so I wanted to share some hopefully useful points. And to be fair, today’s examples of cultural issues are not just from Maiko and I, some points I learned from my married foreign male friends with Japanese wives or my Japanese wife friends with their foreign husbands over many years living in Japan. This is a list of cultural relationship issues, that without compromise, have created many fights, ongoing arguments, resentment, and even hate leading some married couples into divorce. Like many lists like this though, these are generalizations and not every single Japanese woman or foreign man is like this but if you are planning to get married here in Japan these are some things to be aware of so you don’t end up hating your partner. Also, this list can be applied if you’re foreign female with a Japanese husband. Finally, if you’re already married in Japan, let me know how these ones sit with you and if there are any things that I missed.

My Chinese wife and I shower every night before bed. It's easily among my favorite of life changes since being together. Going to bed clean feels amazing, and with a clean bed, you wake up feeling fresh.
Hey man, glad your wife is doing well 🙏🏻
I was told once by a japanese girl i was trying to date,, the chopsticks have to match. Apparently its wrong to eat with chopsticks that are the same size but different design/color 🤣😅🤣.
After many years of
my mom hounding me as a stubborn teenager to take a bath before bed, I finally know why. Thanks for the illumination. Great video!
Protip (for Men – proven/tested): During hot, humid summers where turning on the AC or even fans expensive, get a frozen water bottle / or long lasting gel packs wrap in a towel; and put it near or under your ball sacks (for guys). It will cool your entire body without the need for AC usage and save electricity if need to.
Tall about click bait, this was a bit much.
Shit i saw this and immediately all my wishes got killed in this one video😂🙏
So much you talk about has been worked out with my Japanese wife. In my opinion all healthy relationships start with compromise. A diff culture does throw in that curve ball. Do it to stay with your mate.
Japanese women are interesting but that's alot of fine print.
Good to be informed. If a married a Japanese woman I could learn to adapt. Always room for change. I respect the etiquette
Forced to what while I p!ss? Uh uh b!tch, not me, nope, you had better not even think about asking me to do that. Japanese men need to start strengthening that pimp hand, cuz that is just sorry.
Grew up in America, but have Japanese family members.
The surprise one to me was the throwing of food. That must mean, Japanese food doesn’t have many preservatives.
Also, the bowls thing was a shocker. Everything else I have seen from my experience.
If I didn’t clean my bedroom and bathroom every day, my Mom would heavily punish me. My mom values a clean bathroom. So the bathroom stuff makes sense.
Edit: I would say one thing that’s important to some Japanese women is shaving daily. Japanese women might frown upon unshaven men because you may look unkept.
Holy crap I just realized I subconsciously follow these "rules" for reasons I myself don't know, except for sitting down to pee
no A/C in the hot summer of the Middle East that is it almost 50C* !!! I want to have a happy sleep at anytime not dying in the heat weave!
Wow, how interesting! A lot of it makes sense or would be no big deal, but no A/C in the summer would be a dealbreaker for me. I like a really cold room for sleeping, and sleep really, really poorly if it’s hot. I don’t think I could love anyone enough to commit to sleeping in a hot room for the rest of my life. Anything but that… 🥵
All the cleanliness things… wtf? everything is normal, unless you are a filthy pig. if you don't think these things are normal, you are a filthy pig!
What kind of savage wears shoes in the house.
lol dude I learned so much from this vid. Now I can understand why so many people have issues. So many things you wouldn't have thought of! No AC in summer heat? Brutal! 😂
The title is so cringe I’m sorry
After watching this video, I say "I love to marry Japanese Woman".
💯 my wife (white) and I (asian) agree and already follow every Japanese cultural point mentioned except sleeping without the AC, and we're both Texas born and raised
If you hang your clothes outside to dry, you're going to get all of that pollution, dirt, pollen etc on them, so just dry it in the dryer. Seeing how Japanese are so concerned about cleanliness, this should be obvious.
You can sit down to pee why don't you do it..my husband when he pee he sit down why can you do it…
Where are you from exactly or both of your parents??yeah duh my husband take a shower before bedtime…
Mostly Asian people are like that wants mostly clean…tell your wife all the meat in the freezer is still good, in America doesn't waste the meat just like that,mostly Japanese people are so to much than Filipino..
Japanese people are loco loco than Filipino to crazy to mucho,now you know about Japanese culture…sorry about your like in Japan and your Japanese wife..
The real question is why do u want to go to sleep all nasty, like wtf
I shower a lot during the day
