Summary

He married in Japan for love, residency, and his long-term dream, but food, homesickness, noise, and language strain accumulated. Communication failures and mismatched humor produced arguments; he describes anxiety over livestream reactions, alleged slapping, and feeling controlled and nagged. He resented monogamy, secretly pursued women, and nearly got caught; divorce reduced dating opportunities and left him missing Japan and marital comfort.

Insight

Divorce remains an unresolved tradeoff between freedom, loneliness, and lost domestic security.
