My wife I am I have been married for almost a year and have known eachother for almost four years. She is Japanese and I met her when I was living in Japan. We came back to Canada in May and it has been hell. She doesn't speak much English (I can speak Japanese, so there is no language barrier). But she cannot find a good job because of her English and she does not really want to learn English she admitted.
Living overseas for 5 years, I can appreciate the adjustment it takes to live in a foreign culture, but she is always in a rotten mood. I have tried to do more housework, say kind things, buy her things etc., but nothing seems to work.
I don't want to go back to Japan, it is not an option. Half of me says, just to boot her out and be done with it. You cannot force someone to be happy if they don't try to be happy on their own.
I can't speak to her without her losing it. Her mother warned me she had a short temper, I guess we should have lived together before to have avoided all of this.
I am glad I am not alone on this site. Is anyone else involved in a bi-cultural marriage?
