It's so well written and so visceral but somehow it's the only one I have never read.<BR/><BR/>Weird.<BR/><BR/>And even though it's from three plus months ago I still identify. <BR/><BR/>That whole man/Japanese thing was perfect, too! I think I might copy that for my next argument with V!<BR/><BR/>Except I will sub Indian, of course :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5129942056638738431.post-67889888534417595292008-10-15T17:10:00.000+09:002008-10-15T17:10:00.000+09:00I had to nod my head when reading this blog.

He doesn't speak English, so he wouldn't have an easy time if we moved home to Canada. Japan makes me unhappy sometimes, but I don't want to leave my boyfriend since talks lately have turned to marriage and our future.<BR/>When we fight I wonder the same things. Is he being like this because he's a man, or because he's Japanese? It's confusing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473364044446995764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5129942056638738431.post-75716936381613840702008-06-17T22:30:00.000+09:002008-06-17T22:30:00.000+09:00I feel your pain!

I don't think I've ever felt as depressed and lonely, as much of a misfit or like life was working completely against me as I have here.<BR/><BR/>But even after a few years, it still beats living in your home country (to a certian extent), I think. Though as an expat it's always tempting to look forward towards the next adventure.<BR/><BR/>I met my dream guy and had our entire future planned out in my head until reality hit that he just wasn't willing to live outside of Japan. There was a lot of wasted tears there trying to make things work out, and we're still halfheartedly struggling at it, though more so in form than in spirit. <BR/><BR/>It hurts to cry so much, but hopefully your tears will be worth it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
