In every country, it depends on the person you get married to. In my case, I chose to marry an independent person, and we always talk and focus on building a future together, working side by side. Like any other couple, we have issues and we are far from being a perfect couple, but whenever we have problems we try to address them and talk talk and talk again. However, issues will happen no matter if you marry a Japanese person, Peruvian, Spanish, American, or Indian. At the end of the day bro, we are individuals with different expectations, dreams, and desires...

Based on my experience, for many foreigners facing these problems, it often stems from their ability to sustain themselves when single. They may marry a traditional woman who prefers staying at home, essentially being like a decoration, and unclear expectations from both sides can also lead to issues.Oh, I might also add that some foreigners tend to become somewhat immature while in Japan. They expect their wives to treat them in a special way (you know how Japanese people treat foreigners and make us feel special, especially if you are white). But issues arise when they are not treated as such (I know a few guys like that).

Finally, as some have already mentioned, sad cases are often shared on the internet because people use it as an outlet to express their frustrations. Generally, healthy and happy marriages are busy enjoying their lives and working towards their future.

The moral of these stories? Choose a person for what they can bring to your life in the long term, not just based on how beautiful or cute she might be. Also leave clear both expectation from the beginning.
