Before World War II, Japan was truly a man's world. Husbands ruled as absolute masters of the home...Divorce for a man meant little more than writing a brief decree and sending his spouse back to her family]...more...[/URL]

My kinda guy!

She does end up the article with statement that they are "like the air to each other".

This probably just means that he's too old to deck her again!

I read the whole thing. Goddam she’s a mouthy bitch. It’s completely clear that she’s the type of twist that needs a trip to "smackdown town" every now and again to keep her in line and focussed.

He’s out there every day running the country and then he has to come home to her bullshit about “starving kids” this, and “extramarital” that. And he’s only using HALF the family budget on geisha. The other HALF goes to family stuff – like whiskey and cards, I guess. Now that’s pretty reasonable – a 50/50 split, so how much fairer could you get than 50/50?

Actually, my father-in-law is a little bit like this kind of old-fashioned guy (without the beatings) and he’s been known to ちゃぶ台返し on the odd occasion.
He was dissappointed when I told him I usually went straight home after work, as he thinks a man should be out drinking with his buddies after work. He’s awesome.
