Japanese wife overcomes husband’s income‑based abuse after his company collapses

A Japanese mother working part‑time described how her husband repeatedly dismissed her reduced earnings, saying “my salary supports the family.” When his employer went into bankruptcy, he lost his income and his domineering attitude changed. She immediately registered with a recruitment agency, secured a full‑time remote position that paid more than his new, smaller job, and became the primary earner.

In a separate anecdote, another Japanese woman recounted that her husband, already prone to yelling and criticism, abruptly left the home saying, “I’m quitting being a father.” The story was collected from a reader‑submitted survey and illustrates another case of a husband abandoning family responsibilities.
