    Honestly my sincere advice for I’d say 70% of all couples everywhere would be break up. Relationships aren’t supposed to be things you endure. The cost of companionship is not an anchor around your neck and a severe restriction on your ability to self actualise. They are supposed to be challenging, but ultimately joyous and rewarding experiences. If that doesn’t describe your relationship, what are you even doing. Being single isn’t that bad. 

  2. Wow. Huge news. Online marriage matchmaking company conducts “survey” saying majority of women regret marrying current partner. Implication: you’d better use that company’s matchmaking service!

    PR Times Press Release distribution conducted Jan. 7. Silly online article–done. Post to Reddit and elsewhere for astroturfing–done! I dunno which PR company you’re working for, but you’re doing well. Keep at it and get that client money-money!!! $$$

    Saved you a click, 
    tldr: women find stability attractive/necessary unless the man is physical attractive more than peers. 

    What we all know higher wages lead to stable families.

    “22.6 percent of the women saying that they regretted compromising on their desired income for their husband to make and another 14.6 percent regretting not having stricter standards regarding his financial sensibilities

    Meanwhile, the top response for what the women didn’t regret lowering their standards for was their husband’s physical appearance, selected by 36.6 percent”

    I think this is the same globally.

    My wife and I only argue over 2 things; money and the kids.

  5. Man the Gaijin propaganda machine working over time this month really trying to throw shade at Japan while Europe and America are at each other throats I wonder why?

  6. From a psychological standpoint, many don’t get what they were looking for. After a while they learn to settle down with “good enough”… That’s life in general and not just marriage.

    Now, how valid the survey is depends on the audience and their motivations (self-reporting is one of the least reliable datasets).

    I mean the divorce rate in the US is literally half of all marriages so this isn’t exactly a Japan-specific phenomenon

  8. Marrying for love a poor, handsome dude is the same in every part of the world. Money is the most important factor in a marriage especially after the beginning honeymoon period. Women can’t expect men to change from a low income worker into a high income worker just because she nags him everyday. No money = not living a comfortable life.
