Ok, so having lunch with a lonely Japanese Housewife wasn't so bad as I thought it might have been.
Actually, Michael and I were at her house from 1pm till 5pm!
She had also invited another friend along for lunch. Her friend was a busy, motivated woman, a nurse part-time, a cooking teacher part-time, and she also works out at the gym! Oh, and she's started English lessons! What a lot of energy.
We were all a bit tense at first, but we warmed up and talked about lots of different things. So, although I thought we'd have nothing to talk about, actually, I shouldn't have worried.
I still stand by my opinion that she should find something to do, like a hobby, or volunteer work, or a part time job. That's my opinion because she does tend to talk about how her husband is never home, and her house is cold and empty. But, if she were busy doing something that she loves, instead of hanging around an empty home with nothing to do, she would feel a lot better about her life. Whereas now, she is stressed and listless. Why complain about life if you are not doing anything to improve it??
