Mac has a Japanese girlfriend and sometimes feels completely lost as to what is going on.
"I know I am dealing with cultural issues, but where can I get advice and help? Actually, I have had several Japanese girlfriends and none of the relationships work out. What am I doing wrong?"
Mac, begin by asking yourself about relationships before you came to Japan. Were they any better? Have you considered that maybe it is what you are bringing to a relationship that possibly creates problems, hindering it from developing and flowering? A visit to a counselor might be a good idea if any of the above resonates.
