hedgehog 0 Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 Before I came here I heard this was really frowned on, but I have a few J friends who are 'living together' (while not married). Whats anyone elses experience on this? Frowned on or not? Link to post Share on other sites
backatsap 0 Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 I don't know any Japanese co-inhabiting, and I don't think it would go down too well in the community I'm in. Link to post Share on other sites
OUfreeski2 0 Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 If you`re goin` to shack up with a J-chick I s`ppose you`d have to meet the parents. Probably a scary experience if you`re a whitey! Link to post Share on other sites
Antonio 0 Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 I live with my J-GF and have done for nearly two years. I met the parents after the first year and they seemed fine about it. I'm going there again at New Years and its never been a problem. Admittedly, my GF is a fairly international sort of person having lived in Canada for a year. Guess it depends on the individuals involved... Link to post Share on other sites
Dokumanju 0 Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 Me and my fiance have been living together for a year now in japan(we lived pretty well together for a year in oz too). The dad's cool with it, in fact it might be cos he's a pretty cool dad. Her mother on the other hand...she's not too about it but there's not much she can do about it cos her daughter is with me on this one = ) Link to post Share on other sites

nori-chan 0 Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 My parents would be very angry if I do it. Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 Why? Norichan And I agree to OUfreeski2. I never had any scary stuff for it, but some of my friends told it kinda scary even for all of us Japanese men. Daddies just don't want to lose their daughters. Link to post Share on other sites
lore 0 Posted December 25, 2002 Share Posted December 25, 2002 It's almost the norm over here. Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted December 28, 2002 Share Posted December 28, 2002 Yeah it is totally the norm over here. A lot of my friends moved out of their home right after graduating high school into an apartment with their high school sweethearts. It was just more economical to do it that way. Are you saying that most couples do not live together before marriage. I cannot imagine that. Link to post Share on other sites
