"My husband and I were like riding on two different elevators. He kept going up, and I kept going down, so we were staggered..." Behind the seemingly bright and happy family, there is endless loneliness and emptiness. These ordinary housewives from urban middle-class families in Japan devote themselves wholeheartedly to their families, allowing their husbands, who are "corporate warriors," to run at full speed without worries, supporting the rapid development of Japan's economy. However, no one sees their pain, which includes endless waiting, helpless loneliness, and powerless endurance. Wives who don't want to worry about "What have I been doing all my life?" When they die and try to live out their own lives, will their "revolution" succeed? This book not only describes the family life of couples and corporate social issues, but also introduces the psychoanalysis of psychological counselors to analyze the causes of marital crises of several interviewees from the perspective of their original families, including the psychological roots of problems such as the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, parent-child relationship, etc. It is sharp and interesting.
