Well, in my case I'm not using my wife for PR. I actually wanted to stay married to her and make things work. She is always nagging at me for every little thing and doesn't even try to improve our relationship, her mother hates me. It is just endless and I have no choice but to divorce or end up another marriage zombie that is just hoping for a car or train to hit me.
Well, that's basically what you get when you marry an East Asian, particularly Japanese. It's as if they have a cultural obligation to nag. Why do you think most Japanese husbands are miserable? When I think back to my childhood, being in my grandparents' house so often, I can recognize now how miserable my grandmother made my grandfather, and simply by nagging the shit out of him for fifty years.
A previous position I held here stateside involved overseeing a lot of real estate operations, and a large percentage of the clients/tenants were Japanese nationals living and working in the states. The upside to having lots of Japanese? They follow the rules, meticulously. The downside? The women have a tendency to nag. And nag. And nag. And nag. Very often we'd have a Japanese female tenant who wanted something not in the contracts, and she'd call the office again, and again, and again and again, nagging my subordinates for something we weren't going to give her. In a couple of cases, she would demand to speak with a superior, meaning me, but thanks to me understanding them much better than my staff, I had a very different approach.
ME: "Why do you think you're allowed to speak with me?"
TENANT: "I want [insert name of bullshit]."
ME: "NO."
TENANTS: "But...But...But...I WANT [BULLSHIT]."
ME: "Listen to me very carefully. If you ever harass my staff again, or ever try to call me again, I will issue an eviction order and you will be fucking homeless in 45 days. Then, I'm going to call my friends at the police department and file a harassment charge against you. And then, I'm going to forward that information to my agent friends at USCIS/ICE, and watch what happens to your fucking visa. You and your entire family will be on a fucking boat back to Tokyo by the end of next month. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?"
TENANT: [Dead silence].
And they never called my office again. You have to understand that in the Japanese method of reasoning, if you ask for something a hundred times and get the same answer you don't like, perhaps on the 101st time you'll get the answer you do. And because this mentality is structured into their customer service standards, they think they can behave that way in other countries when they consider themselves the customer. You just need to crush all of their hopes and dreams, and rebuild them in a manner that better suits your tastes.
Or threaten them. That also works very well.
