This glaring gap between the pre-marriage relationship and marriage with a child is a constant source of discussion/tension in my household. At first, my wife made it sound as though I was imagining that intimacy (not just physical) plunged. But later, she "reassured" me -- via advice from a neighborhood housewife -- that things would "go back to normal" after our child finished elementary school. But what happens in the meantime? Before coming to Japan, I dated an older women with a child, but she was a mother and a woman. Here, it's crazy -- my wife echoes the same craziness about being "embarrassed" to hold hands in public, let alone a date night.
For those foreign guys who do have a wife who still clings to her 'woman-ness," consider yourselves lucky.
