I genuinely think it’s more the culture of Japan the author here. Feels to me like she’s pointing out the insanity of staying with your partner if you aren’t happyWhy is everybody so emotionally and intellectualy braindead?
Like... What is wrong with the author?
Kind of sounds like a loser when he said when if she knew how he grew up she should pityI like that this shows that despite everything he is still loyal to his wife. He clearly doesn't know what a healthy relationship is but she never really bothered trying to communicate just hiding it and being enthused when her friend mentioned cheating.
It would've been "woe is me" if he weaponized his upbringing to gaslight people around him into submission or pity. As of right now he is keeping it to himself and maybe even realized only now how bad things are.Kind of sounds like a loser when he said when if she knew how he grew up she should pity
Kind of oh woe is me
