My husband is a great guy and we have a great life together. I wouldn’t know where to begin with the funny or uplifting stories.
My boyfriend is a fantastic human being. He’s an amazing listener, a patient problem-solver, gentle, sweet, has awesome muscles… Well, okay, maybe the last one isn’t that important, but I have to say it, he’s just a great guy.
He also can’t speak English at all. Maybe at a junior high school second or third grade level, if I’m being generous with my assessment of his abilities. As such, when he attempts to use the occasional English word or phrase, it often turns into a hilarious malapropism. For example, my favorite restaurant (in the US) is “The Cheesecake Factory,” but he somehow can only remember the name as: “gang of New York cheesecake.” My matzoh ball soup, to him, will forever be “mozzarella ball soup.” He’s not actually that great at telling jokes, but luckily he has no trouble laughing at himself (nor does he mind when I laugh at him) the times that he comes up with something unintentionally funny in English.
But I don’t come to the internet to brag about my bf. If I did, I wouldn’t have time to do anything else xD
Not sure if this is what you’re asking for, but…
When my husband proposed to me, I asked what his family and friends thought. He told me he never told anyone he was going to ask.
I was confused and asked why he didn’t tell anyone? Seem like a big deal. He just said, “I wanted you to be the first to know I wanted to marry you.”
Feels good to be number one.
Just moved in with the bf after 2 years. We had a bumpy start but after talking about our different expectations it’s been great.
He was really excited for me to move in and he’s a great guy. Kind, funny, considerate and affectionate (in private). We also both love hiking and skiing and it’s great to share hobbies and go on many adventures together. This summer we’re going back home for the first time.
Not sure if that’s what you’re looking for, but I’m very happy with our relationship and to have him.
I struggle with depression, anxiety, BPD and now recently an ED. My Japanese husband has been amazingly supportive and has never once judged me or thought me lesser than. When we came back to Japan, the first thing he did was help me to find a psychiatrist that could help me in English. He comes with me to my appointments as often as he can and will wait in the waiting room, no matter how long. He’s never complained about it. Not once.
When we first started dating, I was open about my struggles. A few days after our date, I saw that he had been researching all about my conditions and how to support someone. He’s the first person I’ve ever been with that did that and tried to understand. I’ve never had to question how he feels about me. I know he loves me and I’ve never been made to think otherwise.
My husband is just a normal guy with both bad and good sides, not perfect but I think we suit each other really good. His mom every now and then would call us “odd couple”, because we act more like rowdy kids instead of husband and wife in her eyes. Me imitating a *kaijuu* and him doing Ultraman’s signature pose in response, at the kitchen after breakfast before he changes for work, isn’t that too far-fetched of a scene in our home. We’re both in our thirties.
My girlfriend can tell what I’m thinking about to a scary level and always does her best to tease me about it.
Even on our first couple of dates, she could read that I was calculating when to make a move.
We’re so much in sync and completely different in the best of ways all at the same time.
There’s a lot of trust and respect on a level I’ve never had before and we’re always the loudest two people in the room laughing at everything and anything.
I think the interesting part about how we met is she was working in a bar when we met, rejecting everyone and anyone but for some reason decided to give me a bunch of opportunities until I worked up the courage to ask her out properly.
She’s also done wonders with my Japanese skills and despite not really being able to speak english at all, given me the most heart touching handwritten letters, written in english.
I’ve met so many crazy bad Apples along the way but when you know you know.
My partner and I met via our love for baked goodies and always hunting for new bakeries to try out. One of her close friends was nervous to have any conversations with me about sports because she had heard Canuck fans were very violent. 😆 IDK where she got that, but I suspect it was from a Maple Leafs fan!😤😂 Long story short, we get along very well now.
This one happened tonight…I thought it was cute anyway.
My (Japanese) wife and I (Australian) had a miscommunication.
We were sitting at an izakaya having dinner and I said I felt a bit “naughty” after dinner and winked. (I actually meant let’s go for dessert somewhere, since I’m trying to be on a diet I thought this was naughty, and we had an earlier conversation about dessert, and honestly she nearly always wants to get dessert if we are out like that).
She instead went “oh” and took me into….a sex toy shop … (which she thought I noticed at the end of the street, but I didn’t).
I was like oh I didn’t mean that….OK nevermind… smiled and went in with her 😉.
It was a bit out of character for her so I enjoyed it.
Been talking with my bf a lot about marriage lately and he’s been so cute about planning the perfect proposal looking for days that might have special meaning – one day he suggested was something like world cotton day 🙃🙃 I’m Black. Didn’t have the heart to tell him why that probably wasn’t the best idea 🤣🤣 he also thought he needed to bring the actual marriage documents with him to propose with 🥹
My wife been around me too long we talk the same. Since our daughter started kindergarten and we both have our own businesses, we’ve been enjoying going out on dates together during the week. Last week we planned to get some donuts and coffee at krispy and chill at a park.
I see her walking towards me with a bag and looking a bit upset.
Me: “what’s wrong?”
Wife: “Muthafuckas got all the original glazed”
Me: “Shiii. Aight. Well, what did you get? You better have not gotten some shit with jelly in it”
Wife: (eyes widen) “….my bad”
Thinking back on that conversation later on made me chuckle. This was a person who couldn’t speak a lick of English when we first met. Made sure to give her her flowers
My jp gf at time planned Surprise bday party when we went camping. It involved cake and a letter telling me how much I meant to her.literally cried before finish reading 🥺
My husband saw some Towelie South Park merch at Village Vanguard with “You’re a towel!” written on it. He asked me to explain the joke to him. I had to show him several South Park clips by way of explanation.
Now every time I forget to take out the trash or tidy something up he says “You’re such a towel!” I love him so very much. <3
I had to do some overtime today and I was fucking famished when I begun heading home. I knew that my wife would be taking our daughter to her swimming classes so she’d be home later than usual and there would be no food (that’s how we split chores atm).
I texted her that I got from work and she replied that she had made curry before heading out and I should eat first because they’ll be bit late. It was the best thing ever.
My husband believes in me more than I do, and is supportive in every single way possible. He couldn’t speak english at all, but recently he’s been imitating me saying ‘iono’ (i don’t know) and shrugging, and swearing in japanese and english e.g マジファック. When we first started dating he saw me shrugging and didn’t know what it was, and he said he had never even heard someone say ‘fuck’ irl…
Oh and he asked me to be his gif on a phone call. I had just been rejected from a job for being color blind and was on the bus in my home country, very upset and on the verge of a mental breakdown. He had asked once before but i said no, citing mental health.
When he asked the 2nd time, i was shook. I asked him why he would say something like that when i was just being terrible and venting about my day. His answer was ‘because hearing you upset makes me want to be there to take care of you’.
I find my wife’s ‘business as usual ‘ attitude towards all the strange things that happens to her amusing. Spraying herself with gasoline while REALLY trying to fill up the tank. Putting eggs in her pockets while cooking with the expected outcome. Somehow managed to twist the handlebar of her bicycle 90 degrees while getting the bike out of the parking thing at the station. Rode it home like that. She reacts to these things like I do having to run back in for the car keys.
Sometimes if I’ve said something funny she’ll say ‘say it again ‘ after she’s finished laughing. It’s really awkward and impossible to do, but it’s sweet.
She wants me to throw her blanket up in the air so it falls down slowly and lands completely flat onto her when she goes to bed. It makes her look happy.
She still looks amazing after 20 years together.
Quite a while ago, my partner and I were lying in bed and I said something like “You’ve got smelly breath!”. She gave me a look and then went non-responsive and moody. At the time we were on vacation so I was kind of annoyed that the morning was ruined over such a small comment, and eventually asked “Why are you so mad?? My mom used to say it to me all the time when I was a kid!”. She then makes this profoundly puzzled look and then goes “Ohhhhh, I thought you said smelly breasts!!”.
We’re married now and still have similar miscommunications from time to time lol.
My wife and I have recently gotten married, but we’ve been together for five years. In that time we haven’t gotten less excited about every time we meet. Even though we live together, it’s always やった！ when we talk about coming home or going out to eat together.
My wife and I met at university when she was an exchange student, and we started a (long) distance relationship when she had to go back. Now, 6 years later we are married and I’m waiting my spouse visa so I can move to Japan. It’s been a long road but I’m quite confident in our relationship/marriage.
Not really anything impressive but we just made it work.
My spouse and I like to tease each other in silly ways. One of us will do or say something to try and get the other person to break. Just earlier tonight, we tried giving each other goofy nicknames with ~kun and ~chan. We **never** use those titles when referring to one another. Unfortunately for me, I broke first this time. But tomorrow’s another day. 🙂
Just had my second child with my wife. Everything went perfect and I love her.
My mother and father have a sweet and lovely relationship here ♡ he is australian but mild by nature, and she is japanese and very loud and outgoing, they make a great pair ♡
I dated a girl who coincidentally lived in the same apartment room as a previous girlfriend. Their furniture was similarly positioned and the same colors of pink. I laid in a different bed with a different girl but the same air space. Hell, they even stacked their spare toilet paper on the same spot on the floor in the toilet room. I remember sitting there taking a dump, staring at a small pyramid of toilet paper, questioning the supposedly chaotic nature of the universe.
My husband is Korean but we met in Japan and our primary language is Japanese, Korean being our second and English third.
In an argument, I loudly said to him in English: come on, old are you!?
And he replied: 天才!
Aaaaaaarrghhh, even to this day this makes me infuriated and laugh at the same time. TENSAI! 10 SAI? AAAAAAAHHHH
10 years later, we’re still happily married.
This thread is full of such cute, sweet and funny stories. I’ve read everything so far and whoever reads this, thanks for sharing your story. I can go to sleep happy now and wake up to read more!
When I went on the first “date” with my wife she didn’t speak English and I didn’t speak Japanese, yet we had so much fun doing silly stuff. Now we’ve learned each other languages, have been married for years, have 2 kids, and she is like my best friend.
My Japanese wife and I (Canadian) will celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary on May 12th.
Not really a story, but my husband has these funny one liners that make me think he is a walking meme sometimes and I try to jot them down whenever I can.
Things my husband has said:
-“Mayo is god.”
-“It’s nabe season bro.”
-“Well not all romcoms are shit, just like not all 萌[Moe anime] is so.”
-“Hahaha. Stupidity… I like it.”
-“Ramen is devil. You should forget about it.”
-“Drinking is part of cleaning.”
-“I bought eggs and I cannot find it.”
-“Is it true vampire hates garlic? Hmm..I love garlic so I’m not vampire.”
-“I just wanna sit down and drink coffee outside and do campfire.”
-“It makes sense but it doesn’t make sense.”
It was raining all day Sunday so we had no plans to go out to a park like we usually do in the afternoons.
We instead spent the day cleaning, trying a new recipe, napping, and started to watch The Last of Us. It was such a nice day.
One of the things I love about my SO the most is that he’d always wake up to console me when I woke up crying due to nightmares. He is a light sleeper, so my crying usually wakes him up before myself. I’m a deep sleeper 😂 and my sleep is riddled with nightmares. He’d hug me real tight or start kissing me on my forehead rapidly to wake me up in as much love as he could show to calm me down. It works like a charm even if I would still finish out the cry first usually.
💚
My husband didn’t get a chance to meet my parents in person until we were already legally married. When they finally came to visit we took them out to dinner and when I went to the bathroom he apparently told my dad very seriously “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of ingloriousdmk for the rest of my life.” It was so sweet and made a big impression on my dad. Also it’s cute he was too embarrassed to say it in front of me lol
Now he’s playing with our son while I lay in bed scrolling through Reddit 🙂
The day I knew my boyfriend was “the one” was when he picked up my childhood beanie baby (who still sits next to my pillow even now), acted as though the beanie baby were whispering in his ear, then turned to me with the most stoic expression and said, “Mango says he’s okay if I stay here another night. Sooo…” and proceeded to snuggle under the blanket.
Boy, when I saw how weird he could be, it was game over. We’re now married weirdos!
I’m (American male) divorced with children. I just recently met someone (Japanese female) and I was wary about her feelings towards being with a divorcee but she’s absolutely crazy about meeting my kids and having fun with them. I thought people in Japan tend to steer clear of divorcee’s but she’s all about it and it makes me so happy. I really hope it works out
Such a wholesome thread, great to see happy relationships! Thanks everyone 🤗
I come from a broken home. My father was a malignant narcissist and my mother did everything she could to cover for his selfishness. When I graduated college in 2009 my father had lost his high paying job, gave up trying to pay off the subprime mortgage, kicked my mom out of the house and started shacking up with a younger richer woman along with my younger sister who was still in high school. I will never forget the state of our family home when he finally moved out. My little sister squatted in it for a month and trashed it. My father currently lives as a landlord in Portugal with his sugar mama. I have no contact with him.
When my wife and I got married, I thought that I had grown up in a healthy environment. We both wanted kids and I thought I would be a great father. It wasn’t until I started parenting that I realized that I was falling into the same selfish patterns I learned from my father.
My wife has helped me to understand these patterns. She has been very patient with me. Luckily, unlike my father, I am not a narcissist and want to change myself for the betterment of our family. I have slowly learned how to be a better husband and father. I’ve had to learn patience and how to not be quick to anger. It is a slow, 2 steps forward / 1 step back process.
My wife has helped me to see who I was becoming and change my future course. We have been married for 13 years. It hasn’t always been perfect but we keep trying every day. We also have two wonderful kids who are growing and becoming interesting and unique people. I wouldn’t trade my family for anything in the world.
I met my husband while studying abroad. I was coming out of a relationship with a very jealous guy, who would always react really badly whenever I talked to other guys or would even be reminded of the fact that I had exes.
I was staying with a host family, and it was summer. I had joked with my then-boyfriend-now-husband that I was just using him for his AC. A couple weeks later my host family surprised me by installing a unit in my bedroom, so I took a picture and texted it to him saying “sorry, I’m breaking up with you, I’ve found a real cool guy.”
He replied (in English) “Let’s group sex!”
It just really cemented to me how we had the same sense of humor, and just how great it was to be in a relationship with someone who wasn’t going to devolve into a jealous monster for even joking I’d be with someone else (even an inanimate object). Still together 17 years later!
My husband is amazing. I have anxiety, ocd, etc. I struggle with a lot of things but he is always willing to listen to me and try to understand. He is so patient and kind. He helps me in whatever way he can and always tries to help me be a better me, supporting me in whatever I want to do. He reminds me often that I’m beautiful and loved. We’ve been together 7 years and I still feel the love and appreciation.
Once he got really upset when he had to tell me that he couldn’t get us a house like I had imagined and dreamed of (a house with a big yard). I was upset ofc cause that had always been my image of a home but I knew I’d get over it and it isn’t realistic if we want to keep work commutes comfortable. However, his level of upset was so high I couldn’t understand. He then told me, in tears, “I promised a dying man (my grandpa) that I would make you happy. I feel terrible that I can’t give you something that clearly means so much to you.”
My heart nearly shattered. I told him that it didn’t matter and I’d be happy anywhere as long as it was with him and I could tell that lifted a huge weight off his shoulders that I didn’t even realize was there. I truly love him.

The day I knew my boyfriend was “the one” was when he picked up my childhood beanie baby (who still sits next to my pillow even now), acted as though the beanie baby were whispering in his ear, then turned to me with the most stoic expression and said, “Mango says he’s okay if I stay here another night. Sooo…” and proceeded to snuggle under the blanket.
Boy, when I saw how weird he could be, it was game over. We’re now married weirdos!
I’m (American male) divorced with children. I just recently met someone (Japanese female) and I was wary about her feelings towards being with a divorcee but she’s absolutely crazy about meeting my kids and having fun with them. I thought people in Japan tend to steer clear of divorcee’s but she’s all about it and it makes me so happy. I really hope it works out
Such a wholesome thread, great to see happy relationships! Thanks everyone 🤗
I come from a broken home. My father was a malignant narcissist and my mother did everything she could to cover for his selfishness. When I graduated college in 2009 my father had lost his high paying job, gave up trying to pay off the subprime mortgage, kicked my mom out of the house and started shacking up with a younger richer woman along with my younger sister who was still in high school. I will never forget the state of our family home when he finally moved out. My little sister squatted in it for a month and trashed it. My father currently lives as a landlord in Portugal with his sugar mama. I have no contact with him.
When my wife and I got married, I thought that I had grown up in a healthy environment. We both wanted kids and I thought I would be a great father. It wasn’t until I started parenting that I realized that I was falling into the same selfish patterns I learned from my father.
My wife has helped me to understand these patterns. She has been very patient with me. Luckily, unlike my father, I am not a narcissist and want to change myself for the betterment of our family. I have slowly learned how to be a better husband and father. I’ve had to learn patience and how to not be quick to anger. It is a slow, 2 steps forward / 1 step back process.
My wife has helped me to see who I was becoming and change my future course. We have been married for 13 years. It hasn’t always been perfect but we keep trying every day. We also have two wonderful kids who are growing and becoming interesting and unique people. I wouldn’t trade my family for anything in the world.
I met my husband while studying abroad. I was coming out of a relationship with a very jealous guy, who would always react really badly whenever I talked to other guys or would even be reminded of the fact that I had exes.
I was staying with a host family, and it was summer. I had joked with my then-boyfriend-now-husband that I was just using him for his AC. A couple weeks later my host family surprised me by installing a unit in my bedroom, so I took a picture and texted it to him saying “sorry, I’m breaking up with you, I’ve found a real cool guy.”
He replied (in English) “Let’s group sex!”
It just really cemented to me how we had the same sense of humor, and just how great it was to be in a relationship with someone who wasn’t going to devolve into a jealous monster for even joking I’d be with someone else (even an inanimate object). Still together 17 years later!
My husband is amazing. I have anxiety, ocd, etc. I struggle with a lot of things but he is always willing to listen to me and try to understand. He is so patient and kind. He helps me in whatever way he can and always tries to help me be a better me, supporting me in whatever I want to do. He reminds me often that I’m beautiful and loved. We’ve been together 7 years and I still feel the love and appreciation.
Once he got really upset when he had to tell me that he couldn’t get us a house like I had imagined and dreamed of (a house with a big yard). I was upset ofc cause that had always been my image of a home but I knew I’d get over it and it isn’t realistic if we want to keep work commutes comfortable. However, his level of upset was so high I couldn’t understand. He then told me, in tears, “I promised a dying man (my grandpa) that I would make you happy. I feel terrible that I can’t give you something that clearly means so much to you.”
My heart nearly shattered. I told him that it didn’t matter and I’d be happy anywhere as long as it was with him and I could tell that lifted a huge weight off his shoulders that I didn’t even realize was there. I truly love him.
