Many Japanese women regret marrying their husbands, but there's more to the story.
A survey reveals that many Japanese women regret marrying their husbands, mainly due to financial issues and dissatisfaction.
Alright, let me break this down for you. There’s a stereotype that Japan’s losing its interest in romance—fewer people getting married, and those that do are tying the knot way later in life. A survey from Presia asked 287 married women how they felt about their husbands, and a whopping 70% said they regretted it. That’s like, "Whoa!” More than half of them wish they could hit rewind and choose differently.
Now, when diving into the reasons, it turns out economic issues reign supreme. 22.6% of these women regretted settling for their husband’s paycheck, while 14.6% wished they were stricter about finances. Interestingly, 36.6% didn’t mind their husband’s looks, but man, if the money’s tight, that’s a recipe for regret. But here’s the kicker: this survey’s from a matchmaking company, so you gotta wonder about the sample. It's likely that unhappy women gravitate to these platforms more. So while it looks like romance is on life support, it might not be as simple as it seems—a lot going on under the surface!
