M: I guess you don't understand until you get divorced.
W: I'm heading home now.
"So you're having soba today? Soba is nice every now and then.
I'm at the Suzuki dealership right now. They're checking my tire pressure."
I'm back home.
W: I'm watching *Nodo Jiman* with Mom right now.
M: You used tomato sauce, I see. Looks good.
It's a bit pricey, though.
W: Yeah, you're right. Paying more rent than you do now isn't an option.
M: Exactly. It is in Su, after all.
W: I see—so it's a good location.
If you start looking now, I'm sure you'll find a great place. 🏡
M: Yeah, true. I'll use my December bonus for moving expenses (!)"
W: The banknotes arrived ⛩
M: "It's Hiyoshi Shrine, isn't it? Thank you"
If I'm moving in April, I'd like to sign the contract in February or March. "
Where I live is very important to me.
W: "I think you should sell the house in Na. I think it's difficult to have two properties.
Your mother feels the same way."
M: "Hmm, I get that, but I also think the priority is not moving again."
Another option is to downsize to around 70m² but pick a place that's convenient and nice.
W: Yeah, true. I wonder if all the furniture would fit?
M: That's the key question.
W: Mom says maybe we could get rid of some furniture?
M: Next time we go for a viewing, we'll need to measure the sofa and dining set. And the bed, too, I guess?
Though, we could probably get rid of the bookshelf in the storage room.
The rest depends on the layout of the new place.
"It would be great if the living-dining-kitchen area was spacious and nice,
but there probably won't be a dishwasher anywhere. At least, not a built-in one."
W: I see—well, I guess that's something to do when you have some breathing room. (Yeah)
For organizing, 100-yen shop items work fine, right? (Good)
Mom is asking me to make dinner early, so I'm going to start cooking now 🍽"
"It's a simmered dish with pork and daikon radish.
I wanted to add vinegar, but we were out, so I used yuzu-kosho instead. It turned out pretty tasty."
M: Looks delicious.
How's the soccer match going?
W: The soccer starts around 7:30 PM.
11/30
M: Good work today.
W: "Good work.
I can't withdraw cash because I don't have my Bank card.
Should I scrape together the cash I have on hand and pay the 100,000 yen to the Tax Office?"
W: Or could you withdraw 100,000 yen from Shinkin Bank today?
M: I don't have 100,000 yen.
Be careful not to infect the people around you.
Shall I transfer 50,000 yen? To Aeon Bank.
Oh right, you had put money into Aeon Bank for me! Sorry about that, I'll transfer it now.
M: I got infected.
W: Huh? With what?
M: KAYUMI appears
W: Sorry about that 🙏
M: It's okay; let's just be careful
W: I think I might go see a gynecologist.
M: Don't worry about what others think
Were you able to talk to the other person?
Digging in. Head straight to Numazu when you're done
"Cheating again? You really love doing that, huh? Good luck! ❗️"
So you've found yourself a new guy
"I don't think things can ever go back to the way they were. For me or my family."
I think I'm going to lose everything.
W: My mom is coming over to the house in N. Apparently, she's coming to pick up some Co-op delivery items tomorrow.
M: I'd prefer it if it were in Fiji.
Well, it doesn't really matter, though.
W: I was planning to transfer 100,000 yen at the bank today, but it was crowded since it's the end of the month and I didn't think I'd make it back by 1:00 PM. I returned to work, but I only had about 10 minutes left, so I hurriedly ate at my desk. Ms. Taka checked on me later, and I told her I managed to get some food in. (wink)
M: I'm going to a convenience store now to make the transfer.
That was a long bank transfer.
It's over; it's too late now.
W: I just made a transfer (of money).
M: That's not the point.
You need to live an honest, steady life.
W: I *am* living an honest life.
M: I'd really appreciate it if you stopped interfering with my life.
"Taking a break at Nojima, I see. So that's where we part ways."
You're pathetic.
To think you were that desperate.
"Well, good luck from here on out."
I intend to go through with a formal divorce.
"You aren't right for me. We aren't compatible."
If possible, I'd like you to fill out the divorce papers.
"You car-sex bastard. You car-sex princess."
We're going to need a lawyer.
W: "What are you talking about?
I withdrew money from my Aeon Bank account at a 7-Eleven ATM, but the remaining balance showed 110,000 yen. I thought that was strange, so I went to an Aeon Bank ATM to check the actual balance."
M: "It doesn't matter anymore.
I used to try to threaten you into stopping the cheating, but now I plan to steadily move forward with the divorce."
That sort of thing only takes three minutes, doesn't it?
"Well, never mind."Not interested."
I feel like I could break up easily right now, anyway.
W: Please don't decide everything based on your mood (!)
Traffic is heavy right now. Don't jump to the conclusion that everything is cheating. That bank transfer
was for the doctor.
M: I don't care.
"It's just over. You're free to do as you please." "That's just how you see things, isn't it?"
W: I'm inquiring with Aeon Bank right now.
M: You'll be hearing from a lawyer from now on.
W: Please stop telling lies.
M: If you quit your job, I might reconsider, though.
Please don't drive my mother around anymore.
I plan to stay at the hospital as much as possible.
W: Apparently, Seven Bank automatically treats it as a cash advance. It seems there's about 49 yen in interest.
I'll confirm the exact amount tomorrow and then deposit the money.
I'm sorry.
M: "Shifting all your own guilt onto me,and being unable to stop cheating—that's who you really are."
You're meeting up in secret tonight, aren't you?
You're truly sinful.
You're the worst one yet.
Tonight... a secret meeting.
A secret meeting in the bath.
"You're acting so cool now, even though you were freaking out earlier.
You get angry when it comes to Bingo, don't you?"
You had the seat reclined, didn't you?
I want to break up.
You had it reclined.
I don't want to ruin my life.
Please.
It was a mistake.
I acted too hastily.
I'm not like you.
You deceive everyone and don't even care, do you?
Deceiving...
I'm going to consult a lawyer tomorrow.
Good night.
If we don't split up soon, it's going to be a huge stain on both our reputations.
I don't need to hear that from a traitor.
"You were sneaking around, making a fool of me, and betraying me.
I thought things would change once we got married."
How many times did you call me a weirdo?
I can't put on a saintly act like that.
That's why I want to break up.
You shouldn't cheat so easily.
We're married, after all.
But you did it anyway.
"Do you remember how often you kissed other men right in front of me?"
"While I was fast asleep, you did whatever you wanted. You even elbowed me.
You messed up my hair."
You smelled like green onions, too.
That was that guy's body odor, wasn't it?
"Sorry, I said too much. Please get some rest."
You're just like me, aren't you?
"Shall we go ahead with the divorce? I'll see you tomorrow."
Now is the best time for it.
Marriage isn't something where you can just cheat so easily.
"If sex is that important to you, I want you to break up with me.
There’s something I want to work hard on. I don't want you getting in the way."
I don't think there's anyone who wouldn't be upset if their spouse gave them an STD of unknown origin.
I don't think it's a yeast infection.
Is there any point in keeping up this charade of a marriage?
W: "I don't want to cause my mom trouble. I want to do my job properly, too.
I have a headache... Please don't kill me."
M: I want you to quit your job Please go find another partner
