jhing.. tq for ur opinion..
I think ur right.. j-man are very cool..We work at the same koojo..so at Koojo he act like he not really know me..but after work, if he call me he became true him.. I also have an experience.. he not say sweet things to me daily..but if he go to japan for 10 days holiday, he send me sms from airport say that he miss me..So I think maybe he didn't do that daily because of he will see me again in the next morning at koojo, too shy to face me after he say that..
Anyone has another opinion?? About jap-husband??

I'm non-Japanese, married to a Japanese woman, living in Japan. My wife is generally more expressive of her feelings than I am, and I am much more expressive than I used to be.

I tend to avoid making generalizations about any culture. Within Japan, culture can vary quite a bit from one region to another, as do different dialects. Likewise, japan is full of individuals with different personalities and different habits. Some Japanese guys can be quite romantic, and some are perfectly comfortable saying "I love you". Throughout the world you will find quite a lot of guys who are uncomfortable expressing their feelings, for a multitude of reasons, one of which can be genuine "shyness". There are plenty of shy people in Japan.

If you feel like you are more expressive of your feelings than he is, continue to be yourself, and likely he will warm up to you over time. But most of all talk to him about it.
