In Japan, after women marry, they are supposed to quit their job if they have one, and stay at home, and do housework. A lot of young women want to become housewives because they don't want to work outside of home. So for Japanese women, marriage is like job hunting for a permanent career. People might say, "things have been changing", or "it's not like that any more"....... things like that. I hope so, but I think it's all the same, at least around me. I hate this system and this situation and this policy. One of my bosses has never cooked. Even worse, he has never washed dishes or made tea. Actually, no. It isn't just one of my bosses, but some of my coworkers too. To tell yout the truth, I'm sick of this situation in Japan. Sometimes when I am asked if I want to keep working after marriage, I'm always like, "What the hell are you asking?" but I answer, "I don't know," "It totally depends on my husband in the future" or "I might quit my job, if possible." I know this is the answer that people expect. It's totally against my opinion though.
In Japan, this situation has been changing little. Men don't want to change it because they don't have any trouble. If that's how it has to be, I don't want to get married to a man who doesn't want to help me with household chores. Actually I don't expect Japanese men to change, so I sometimes have a fancy to get married to a man from a foreign country. Am I jumping to a weird conclusion? Or am I in a bad mood? Maybe both.
