My SO is a Japanese woman (I live in Japan) and we have been living together for 6 years AND I have never met her parents. Can you believe it?? My parents came over for 2 weeks last year and had a great time with her but her parents would disown her if they found out she was seeing a "gaijin" or foreigner. It's totally bizarre and after 6 years, kind of frustrating. Oh well, that's the way it is for many of us here.
I've met a number of guys who married J-girls whose parents will have nothing to do with them now; have never seen their grandkids...nothing.
I will probably see them someday at the funeral home...isn't that a shame.
