I think if you post on a public forum inviting discussion, then you have to expect some discussion to occur, whether it's necessarily what you want to hear or not. Straight up telling people what to do isn't fair since no one can know the OP's exact circumstances, but it doesn't seem like anyone is doing anything more than offering their advice based on logic and figures.

Back to the original question though, I'm curious about gender roles in a Japanese marriage. Is the husband still supposed to be the primary bread-winner, or do both husband and wife usually work? Do couples often get married but remain dependent on their parents? What kind of expectations are there of a foreign husband/wife?
