Surviving midlife one thought at a time.
From Japan.
Everyone, try checking when your partner last said “I’m sorry.”
If it hasn’t happened in a year… something’s probably broken already, I swear lol

“Thank you” is just a passive, one-step reaction.
But “I’m sorry” takes three steps: doing something wrong, realizing it, and choosing to say it.
That “I’m sorry” disappears over time.
I checked: the last “sorry” my wife ever sent me was twelve years ago. 🥶

If loss is really the disappearance of future possibilities,
then of course we never notice it coming.
You can’t miss what you still believe is waiting for you.

Loss isn’t just about the past.
It’s the moment when something that could have happened
suddenly becomes something that never will.

But the end result of betraying your own heart is this:
a middle-aged zombie like me.
By the way, why do you Americans love zombies so much? lol

Sorry, everyone.
#MiddleAgedConfessions

I once went along with younger folks laughing at “middle-aged men desperate for validation,”
and I threw stones with them.

**Good morning from Japan.
Morning isn’t a beginning for me.
It’s the night pretending it’s over.
TV keeps talking about yesterday.
I just wonder when my real morning will come.

“Age is just a number,” huh — I want to deck the guy who believed that.
There’s barely any time left to be loved; it makes me want to cry.
Let’s keep fighting together.

So let me leave you with this:

3. Check the underwear. Seriously.
But don’t act like a creep, ok?

#FromJapan #marriedlife

And listen—
even if you find some insanely sexy lingerie,
don’t you dare get excited.
It’s probably not for you, bro. 😂

Some say women wear sexy underwear just to feel good about themselves.
Maybe.
I don’t know.
It scared the hell out of me,
and I didn’t have the guts to ask.

Not the usual stuff.
I mean, crazy sexy, see-through, string-thin panties
I had never seen in my damn life.

Something felt off.
So when my wife wasn’t home, I took a look in the bedroom.

#FromJapan #marriage

And there they were—
inside the coat rack, hidden behind hanging pants—
a row of underwear she’d stashed away.

When I realized that,
my heartbeat shot through the roof.
I thought,
“Wait… what?
Is my wife… not wearing underwear every day?”

#WTF

When she takes a bath, she locks the door tight—
even the kids can’t come in.
Around the same time, I noticed something else.

I do the laundry at home,
and suddenly her usual underwear—the ones she always bought online—
stopped showing up in the wash.

And let me tell you one last thing.
We’ve been sexless for almost ten years,
but about 2–3 years ago,
my wife stopped showing any skin around the family.

2. Don’t let a moment of sexual frustration crush your soul.
Even if she doesn’t touch you anymore,
your value doesn’t drop to zero.
And don’t blame her.
There’s always a reason she walked down that hill.

1. This problem will never be solved in a short time.
It’s a long-term project, period.
Start small: when you pass each other at home,
lightly touch her waist—
not in a creepy way, just naturally.

I’m already one of the guys who gave up,
but for the brothers still trying to fix things,
I want to leave you with these three things.

Going back up the hill with a wife who already walked down it…
Man, that’s almost impossible.
Not totally impossible, but damn close.
Because that electric feeling you had when you first touched her hand?
There’s no way that’s living in her anymore.

In Japan, there’s a popular post from a female influencer saying,
“Middle-aged men should shut up and go talk to AI.”
It went mega-viral. Millions of impressions.

Honestly… I’m just grateful I lived long enough to actually have AI to talk to.

If you’re hurting this season:

We’re walking through a damn theme park of illusions.

They slap a “Happy Birthday, Jesus” sticker on it
and pretend it’s not the biggest annual cover-up in human history.

Everyone’s acting like Christmas is holy and cute,
but let’s be honest—
it’s just a worldwide festival of booze, fake smiles,
and couples trying to sneak home early to have sex.

As an aside, Last Christmas hits different when you’re freshly dumped.
How the hell is a breakup song THAT catchy?

You have to take it step by step:
lightly holding her hand,
touching her shoulder,
facing her,
gently touching her face and hair…
That’s how you help her climb that gentle slope,
slowly and with time.
