UPDATE: My (29F) husband (31M) has gotten himself a "training wife" at his new work in Japan.

After a few days of consideration I decided to give the email address from the Japanese Reddit guy a try. I wrote:<br><br>"Dear Sir,<br><br>I am the wife of \[Husband\]. I am not sure what kind of relationship you have with him, but I would like to say that I am of course disappointed to find out that you two are in a relationship. But I am very thankful that you reached out to me and I am especially grateful that you asked if I was okay. I am not yet, but I am working on it.<br><br>I hope you have a nice day and wish you all the best for the future."<br><br>I kept it very short, I am sorry to say. I am absolutely not comfortable speaking any Japanese (it is such a beautiful language but this is not my proudest moment) and I also didn't want to give away too much information about my situation. But I still wanted to show my appreciation for her kindness. I also sent the email from my work email account, just to make it clear that my workplace doesn't know anything about this.<br><br>On to the next thing, I visited my in-laws yesterday for the weekend and told them everything. My mother in-law cried and my father in-law was very quiet, but he hugged me and told me to take good care of myself during these times. They called my brother in-law, he is married with a two year old, and now all of us are sitting in my in-laws living room. My mother in-law has this stout, stone face and my father in-law is busy smoking cigarettes outside, but my brother in-law keeps hugging me and his wife tries to make me laugh with her two year old. My brother in-law told me that they will fully support me in whatever I decide to do. As I said in my last post, they are not too happy with my husband either. They pushed me a bit towards divorce, but they said I should take some time to think it through. They are absolutely right, I still have some things to consider.<br><br>That's it for now. I am going to drive home in a few hours, I am sad to say goodbye again, but the house feels empty without them and I miss them so much already. But I have some work to do in the upcoming weeks and I have to take care of things on my own.
