Is this real common in Japanese society because I see it all the time in Manga and Anime and shit. I can’t even begin to imagine being married to someone and let alone spending time with them, you don’t give them gifts on their birthday, you dont take them out to dinner, you don’t do anything. It’s like you hired a live in maid but paid her with a wedding ring and a baby.

Mamoru looked odly serious at the end of this chapter!
Yeah, I didn't notice that, I just thought it's weird he didn't say anything positive but after reading your comment and looking back at his face, it's nice that he didn't say anything that could lift the guy's spirit, idk how to describe it but this is the kind of moment where not even mamoru could be say anything

It's probably an exaggeration on how often this might happen, but it being a common trope in manga shows that this is an often enough occurrence to be satirized.

Now, this is from the perspective of a probably rather uninformed foreigner, but from what I heard, marriage is still a very common expectation in polite Japanese society. You're supposed to nail a stable job, get married, and have children.

I've been told that it's sometimes so bad that some men get married to a woman who completely manages the household while the husband spends all their week at work, sleeping at their workplace or in net cafés/capsule hotels. They go back "home" for the weekend, but have no say in domestic affairs, with the money they earn being spent entirely at the wife's discretion.

That last thought hits home. I have a lot of people gone by this point in life and sometimes you forget a birthday or anniversary of someone dead and think about it a few days later. You're not even sure how to feel; you don't want to be an open wound forever but something about moving on that fully feels... cold. Distant.
