Can be the case of complete opposites attracting but sounds like just a way out for the Mali guy.<br />As other have said, I'm too amazed how decent Japanese women pick husbands who are dirt poor and/or not educated, isn't really healthy for the future of Japan as their offspring will have problems.<br />That said, I'm pretty flaky financially myself.sumgaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17008186489657760731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531601964128518668.post-60790879117030746632011-07-13T12:28:12.392+09:002011-07-13T12:28:12.392+09:00I hope everything works out for her.

My Japanese is shite and I need to communicate fully with the person I'm going out with.

Friends and relatives are normally right (once they meet the person), and they are often a bit more objective than the person involved.<br /><br />I love how you gave your favorite immigration lawyer, who is used to dealing with "unusual" cases a plug. You should get a kick back, or they should get a discount! Actually, no, there might be a lot of work involved in this case.aimlesswanderernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531601964128518668.post-22908537067989944452011-06-29T15:44:54.117+09:002011-06-29T15:44:54.117+09:00Ok.

But interracial relationships will have different issues, than those with the same culture/ethnicity. She should find out why he couldn't enter the country legally. Could she be charged with a crime if he gets caught and she married him knowing he was illegal? Is she ok being the primary breadwinner, having dark-skinned kids, facing familial and socital disapproval? If she has any doubts she should keep him in the "mr. right now"instead of "mr. right" category. If her clock is ticking she should go for match making. But as a woman she should try to marry up, or at least aim for a man with a steady job with health benefits and a 401k.Rydangelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12323431745334893180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531601964128518668.post-67270103156434498742011-06-29T11:26:06.793+09:002011-06-29T11:26:06.793+09:00...and on the Seventh Day he said: let there be ba......and on the Seventh Day he said: let there be babies!

(but don't tell them they are naive, as Japanese 'naive' means 'pure hearted' or 'innocent'. More positive meaning than English meaning. ) I kinda understand this sort of scenarios were happening a lot about 20 years ago, at the end of the Bubble. But I just don't get that these things are still happening when they can obtain the 'facts' on their fingertips. Anyway I encounter lots of those naive ladies in overseas as well. I see so many married couples with non-Japanese hubbies not have jobs. The usual story is that they separated after a couple of kids.

The first time it hit home was when I told a young woman she was "naïve" not to know that men have nipples (long story), and her answer was "I'm 'naïve'? Thank you!"<br /><br />My wife's second cousin just got rid of a European husband after a decade together, and kept the child in Japan, of course. He's been here all that time, learned no Japanese, insisted on only his language in the home (Français, bien sûr), hated everything about Japanese food and culture, was stereotypically French about the superiority of France's, and often had his similar friends from home stay for long periods. Did I mention he never got a job here?<br /><br />It took her ten years.Mr. S.http://hanlonsrzr.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
