My Wife's family REFUSED to meet me!

Six weeks after confrontation, his wife’s family still make no contact; her mother leaves a request to meet him unanswered. They remain unaware he married; in Malaysia, his wife will meet his parents, potentially addressing relatives’ objections. He mourns imagined Japanese in-laws and family integration, fears apartment isolation, then shifts to coffee-delivery frustration and cooking.

Marriage brings permanence but intensifies family estrangement and dismantles his imagined Japanese-family belonging.
