I think you should come back home because you are 37 yrs old and job market will get increasingly difficult for you because of your age. You should start thinking about opening your own business and going on your own. You can stay in Japan and learn Japanese fluently so it becomes an asset on your way back home. What did you study in college?

A job that doesnt allow you to save money, its not a job. Dont get fooled. In the US, I would say that 40% of the jobs are like that. These are modern disposable jobs. Jobs that come and go. Good jobs take time to come and competition is tough to get these jobs.

You must think about how to save money. Find out a way. No savings means no progress. I am not talking only in Japan but also in the US.

Relationships are more than love. Love will not last long if your financial situation is not stable.

It is up to her to hold you or dump you. She is in a stronger position. So, enjoy her company while she is willing to hold you and expect her to dump you any minute. Face the situation like an adult, you are just learning to deal with these situations and learning what it takes. Take it easy. You are not ready yet and it is not your fault. Its life.

Once you get a real job, getting a girfriend is just a piece of cake.

You passed the romantic phase and now you are getting into the practical phase. Probably, you have dated her for a year or so...right?

Keep your head up, you are a United States citizen!!
