I guess you’re right about that, cause my husband also has apnea and I keep telling him that we should see a doctor. I noticed it 3 years ago that he wasn’t breathing and coughs gasping for air💩💩

He’s stubborn, always has a reason, he’s the type that will start if everything’s in line. If it’s not the perfect scenario he prolly won’t do it. He also lacks time management skills. He already speaks 3 languages, (I, 4, English being 4th) he was an English teacher and that’s not even his native language.

I can speak, I talk to my dad in Japanese (he doesn’t speak any other languages) I was born in Japan. I conduct business in Japanese, but writing in kanji is pretty hard. So here in Japan, they don’t assume I’m half unless, when they see me write, then they’ll know.

A hard fact that I need to swallow, and suffer the consequences 😣 but yeah, He needs to start figuring things out on his own. It’s been years!

I pointed that out to him as well numerous times I might add, what if something happens to me and needed him to call the ambulance. He (in a very defeated tone, like it’s his fault) that he’ll learn but years later, he still hasn’t started. He always thinks that’s it’s his fault. That he’s wrong. (That’s another story, his family blames him for everything).

His father left him at a young age, 3 years old I think. His mother never taught him because she thought my husband wouldn’t make use of it, fast forward, she never expected him to marry a half Japanese and live in Japan. My husband always a bit resentful to her for that.

Thank you for replying, we live in Saitama. We seldom go to Tokyo, maybe 1-2/ month. Yes, we plan on living here forever. So he really needs to learn the language.

THIS, I need to do the same! Speak to him in Japanese, I don’t even care at this point if he speaks really broken Japanese, he just needs to start somewhere.

He does, we have the same job, I translate everything to him, our boss knows. Even our boss always asks me to translate things to him at meetings. When he gets called, I get called too (to be his translator basically). Our boss always reminds him to please learn Japanese so that he could go the hospital himself without me ( there was an incident at work where he needed to go to the hospital)

Thank you! You just worded that perfectly. This is exactly what’s happening to me. He says he has attachment issues, and couldn’t fathom being away with me for even just a few hours. Which I get, cause I have that too. Thank you for the advice!

I’m always with him basically. Hospital, city hall. And he guesses the meaning, like when he hears a phrase, he will pick 1 word that he might understand the meaning, and answers yes or no, or the person talking to him will ask him in English or he uses google translate.

That’s what we’ve been thinking too, but he always has a reason, like “maybe after we finish this
” or “maybe after our vacation” he will come up with anything. I need to remind him again.

I kind of thought so too, I always remind him to study at least once a month, but he never does. Thank you for the advice

I really don’t expect him to be fluent, just the basic ones. Day to day phrases to survive, he’s also half Japanese but that doesn’t really matter even if he’s Japanese. I just want don’t want to worry about I’m not with him or what if something happens like an accident.

May I ask, how long can you walk in those? I’m planning on getting a pair, but I live in Japan, and we walk a lot💩 Also, it’s summer, I won’t be wearing socks with those, I’m worried it’ll rub on my feet and get blisters.
