The story
A thread posted to 5ch’s “Nandemo Jikkyo G” (a general live-discussion board) tells the story of a husband who got publicly “exposed” by his wife for nothing more than inviting her to have sex. The thread grew into a wider debate about the lack of communication in marriage and what married life should really look like. Commenters offered concrete avoidance tactics — like “I wish he’d pretend to go along with it, then just sleep downstairs” — while others argued the real problem wasn’t the sex itself but everyday housework and conversation. When someone posted an image comparing the pros and cons of marriage, the discussion expanded into a debate over whether marriage itself is even worth it.
What people said
Because being married makes people see you as a full-fledged adult.
That's basically society discriminating unfairly based on marital status, when you think about it.
If marriage goes well, you win everything; if it fails, you get this. Married men are basically gamblers.
I guess that's about it? As far as downsides — or rather, concerns — go.
Not being able to have kids is probably the biggest difference.
It's not about wanting to — I'm already married.
Already married, so.
Already married — and normally you actually communicate with your spouse before you get married…
Background and Talking Points
Stories like this — a spouse’s words getting publicly “exposed” on social media — come up regularly on 5ch, but whether it’s appropriate to publicize private exchanges, even with names redacted, is debated every time. As commenter No. 13 pointed out, there’s actually no clear legal line for how publicizing something as personal as a sexual invitation would be treated. In this thread too, opinions split between sympathy for the exposed husband and pushback along the lines of “well, of course he got exposed — he’s clearly not pulling his weight with housework and conversation.” It wasn’t a simple case of one side being right. The debate then broadened further after someone posted an image comparing the pros and cons of marriage, shifting the conversation from the invitation itself to whether marriage makes economic sense as a life choice at all.
