A man has apparently narrowly avoided divorce after being accused of adultery by his wife, after she discovered his virtual relationships with three schoolgirls.
The story begins with the anonymous husband accidentally leaving his camera bag (for he worked with cameras) at home one day. It so happened he hid his DS in this bag.
His dutiful wife was cleaning the house and noticed a light coming from the bag; thinking it to be a camera left on, she thought to tell her husband of his mistake, but instead discovered the light came from one of the girls of Love Plus, who require regular attention.
His wife stated that at this moment she “felt as if she had discovered the existence of an affair,” and is infuriated by the very memory of the “adulteresses” she found there.
Enraged, she confiscated the console and demanded a full explanation of the game, and the unfortunate husband had to describe the details of his various dates and after-school skinship with the girls of the title.
Later she would go so far as to convene her lady friends together to work out what to do. They played the game, and thought little of it until coming upon Nene, whom they judged a real threat to the couple’s marriage.
Soon they judged the husband guilty of adultery with the game, and took away his DS to sell, with the wife keeping the cash. He was subsequently forced to promise to pay for a New Year’s vacation in order to make amends.
He states he is just glad she did not divorce him.
The wife’s friends were spurred into action by the threatening prospect of losing their breadwinners to 2D schoolgirls, and initiated searches, catching three husbands engaged in this “adultery.”
One, it is said, meekly admitted the charges and handed over the game.
Another lost the game and had his pocket money reduced by his wife.
The other man was actually caught red-handed “kissing” his girl, and had his ROM destroyed on the spot, and was banned from the bedroom to boot.
The unfortunate narrator parts by wishing all those secretly playing Love Plus the best of luck.
Even if it turned out to be fiction, as we have seen the scenario more than rings true…

If I married a girl like that, and she tried to divorce me over something so stupid. I'd let her, don't need a woman by my side that's so immature.
lol. Best article in awhile.
lol have to agree
Man, now I want this game... and Ds....
"He states he is just glad she did not divorce him." that has to be because a divorce could be more expensive..
Well ladies, there's a reason they were spending time with 2D girls over you...
On a side note, I recommend eroge I've played to my fiance. Shared interests are nice...
>Breadwinners
Damn Artefact, be more sexist.
These are stay-at-home-wives. Their husbands are their breadwinners.
on the one hand, its a game, and she should not freak out.
however on the other hand this dude plays Love Plus.
I dont know which of them I feel more sorry for...
is it normal in Japan that your wife can take away any of your possessions and just sell them?
Why is this even an issue? It's a game. Get the fuck over it.
This game is gaining more and more infamy, and it's getting me curious! Fingers crossed that VN Translations sees this one through to the end (I have my doubts...).
I was in a bad mood.. shitty mood.. I was so fucking pissed off.. but this topic.. this thing that happened, was the hilarious thing ever crossed my eyes.
Thanks Sankaku for the best cheer up ever. *ahem* And now my official comment. BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh god that's the stupidest thing ever!
one day man will invent an artificial vagina that feels 2x better than real vagina then what say you knaves?
They already try that since ages and always fail.
give it time theres advances every year.
Fleshlight doesn't count?
Im surprised these husbands didnt wanted the divorce from wifes that confiscate their OWN MONEY for finding them playing a f****** game.
I'm all for Japanimation and stuff but....why the hell would you want to play these things when you have a wife or girlfriend? Spend your freakin time on her. I certainly wouldn't like it if I had a wife and she'd have a secret female dating simulation. Why do you need the simulation..you already have the real deal!
Because games are fun to play, doofus. I like to cook, but I still like to play cooking games. I like to play with my dog and plant in my garden, but I still play games like that too. Games are enjoyable. It is the most retarded point of logic ever to say something like "why do youz play game, you haz the real thing." Why does anyone play games at all ever?
Because they are fun.
Anyway, as for the man not disclosing to his wife about his secret eroge playing, it's pretty obvious that in the localized culture of the average japanese man and his wife, he would have never been given "permission" to play anyway. I think its ridiculous to consider pornography/hentai/eroge as cheating, or even something that needs to be disclosed to the other spouse for "honesty" in a relationship. This is because I think that the seeking of such outlets is a normal thing for /all/ humans to do -- I don't need my husband to disclose that he goes to the bathroom either. If you as a spouse are that threatened by a harmless exploration of fantasy, that says to me that there are serious trust issues in your marriage, period. Your house is built on shaky ground to begin with. But then, most modern marriages are.
It is my considered opinion that a marriage where you aren't "allowed" to do such things by either your husband or wife is not a marriage worth having, not simply because you won't have any eroge to play. It's because the situation here was downright abusive to the husbands.
What would we think if the story had been about men taking games and spending money away from their wives for playing a game? I bet there would be a considerably different response :(
Obligatory defensive statement: I am a bisexual lady. I have been with my husband for twelve years and we have been happily married for two. I play eroge, renai, and games where I get to see panties. So does he. I would punch him in the face if he tried to take my games away, but of course he would never, because he is awesome.
TLDR: Yeah, if I were that dude, I'd leave my wife for Nene. At least she'd never take my money and humiliate me in front of her friends as a matter of course.
But Love Plus isn't an eroge.
next popular game.
Taking pics of your wife,where you can put her into rpg monsters and other to beat her or kill her XD
The brand new iPhone game-Chuck Norris: Bring the Pain-has this feature.

Actually there was a game like this existing for the very first Gameboy. XP
You don't think things should be disclosed for the sake of ''honesty''? I can understand that. I mean if you don't know your spous is cheating on you your relationship is fine and dandy until then, right? Ignorance is bliss, right?
Don't try and put things into your own context and act like it's alright for everyone else.
I can understand adultery within a marriage but with Love Plus? Isn't the game aimed at lonely otaku?
seems that not only otakus are lonely in japan...
LOL geez as much as I dislike the rather materialistic nature of Japanese women from what I have seen on here, lets face it folks, Japanese men are doing it to themselves.
I don't think she had any right to go through his things or sell the DS, even if she is his wife.
Did she buy the DS? No, it was his property. God woman, if he had to turn to virtual women, what's that say about you?
This is so stupid I don't know if I should laugh or facepalm.
Fucking bitches.....and spineless Japanese men. I would immediately tell them to fuck off back to the kitchen where they belong.
You would if a woman other than your mother could stand your company for more than two minutes.
Oh what a witty come back!
Am I wrong? Can anyone actually prove to me that I'm wrong to be pissed off at such a ridiculous reaction by a bunch of dried up busy-bodies? I seriously doubt it.
I stand behind my opinion that these men need to stand up for what they want to enjoy.
really japan? really? if i facepalmed over this i'd give myself a concussion.
This only shows how SICK women are.
Specially this one, she need an urgent psychological treatment. Begin jealousy from a simple SOFTWARE is NOT normal at all.
And "K" needs to surfering a lot to know what the other anonymous means.
You know, the most woman aren't that way besides the story seems to be fake.
I'd beat the shit outta my wife for thinking ANY of those ignorant ass thoughts. its fucking pixels.
Women are life support systems for vaginas.
Of course money will be needed to maintain that system. Unless, gawd forbid, they die and the precious vagina is lost.
If your a necrophiliac, I guess it doesn't matter.
haha, any man being led around like that seriously needs to get his priorities right. Less Bitch is better Life.
Looks like the husband isn't getting any if he has to turn to a game :| so it should be the WIFES fault on this point
lol people are so stupid it awesome! but it's a real shame an innocent
ds had to die ....
Who the fuck do they think they are?
If it was me I'd divorce her. What kind of retard gets jealous of a fictional character?
This and the loli bans' "victimizing virtual children" thing.. it seems like Japan is having a hard time telling fiction from reality.
this is the biggest proof that bitches fears to be replaced, by better 2D women
can you say neurotically insecure?
they just lost the game lol
They are just afraid to lose their bread-winner. Look, the wife didn't even repent and demanded him to pay for the new year vacation. I bet divorce is a lot cheaper than having to pay for the whole vacation.
Reason why he rather spend time on games than on his wife is so obvious.
TAKE THAT SONY, Can yer Shitty PSP do this!? LONG LIVE NINTENDO!!! interesting idea too =D
better choose love plus over these bloodsuckers from the beginning....
Sucks to be Japanese.
uh... i understand this one woman may have overreacted but that doesn't mean all women are gold digging harpies. that's actually a pretty fucked up description. That's like saying all men are perverts who can only think with their cocks because evolution has left them with nothing better to do but jack off. but that's obviously not true. so no one should make such generalizations.
a 3d was infuriated by 2d? the same old news
Don't these women realize stirring up all this trouble is going to make husbands want to divorce them more?
Wow...
women in japan are in danger of losing their husbands to 2d schoolgirls....
So much of destructive power of 2D schoolgirls...pity to all of you jap women hehe
boo hoo hoo
Once they combine the technology from love plus and Real dolls together, coupled with Japanese ingenuity for robotics, women will be 100% obsolete to a man.
I think someone mentioned it earlier, but yes, I think this is the true reason for things like the attempted loli ban. Women are getting scared as shit that they are being replaced by digital 2D. They're only hope now is to ban all things 2D that a man can turn to (kill off competition) as there is no way they can ever compare to a digital waifu when they refuse to change.
It's almost like Feminism is coming back to bite them in the ass. You wanted to be strong and independent? That's cool, I believe in equality.
Oh, but now you complain when men seek independence both emotionally and physically from women?
hypocrites.
I think what really worries women is the fact that men are inventive and creative enough to live without women for elongated periods of time, if not permanently if we just put our minds to it.
A man created the tenga/fleshlight, and all the chemicals needed to make it. A man programmed the code to make the game and simulate perfect women. A man will create a perfect robotic body to merge the two. A man will work hard to earn the money to purchase his perfect waifu.
The women, having created nothing, will seek to destroy the mans independence and personal happiness, as she does not benefit from this. Women don't want to be controlled by men, but can't allow men to be free of female domination.
If women want to control everything, I say we let them. I'd gladly be a house-husband. Clean the house, dishes, take care of kids, cook meals (cooking is fun!) and help her relax when she's back from a hard grueling 8 hour work day. Then I'll take her paycheck and divy it out. only fair right?
inb4 artifical lifeform being capable to give birth to your child made the same way you would do with a normal women.
Wow, I didn't think that the men of Japan were becoming this big of pussies. Seriously, if the bitch is giving you that much shit over a game, it's time to tie that vagina up and show it who's boss.
Okay, seriously, if the wife feels this insecure and threatened by a video game, and the husband prefers this thing to his wife, well then the game's not the problem. THE PROBLEM IS WITH YOUR MARRIAGE.
Wow, lack of manhood.
It is just a game.
their marriage is just a game and the man is playing the game,he loses if he gets divorced and loses half of his belongings.
This si why I'm not going to get married to a Japanese woman. They just want money that's all.
Holy shit, what a bitch.
that's some shit the wife and her friends are sprouting ,,, hahaha adultery wtf men hahaha
LOL now this is an article.
These japanese men brave enough to carry on their race instead of sticking to 2D need to MAN THE FUCK UP, so the next generation is raised right. Put those damn women in their place, stop stuff like that pocket money bullshit.
As soon as they stand up for themselves they're gonna get hit with a false domestic violence charge, be sent to jail, lose the kids, lose the house, lose half their wealth, lose half their pension and be forced to pay child support and alimony.
Not a good idea to 'man up' if you're just gonna get whacked back down by the government.
Why get married in the first place, then?
i am really really sad reading this article. i am also infuriated by the like of these women. i want an article where the man sell all the woman's handbags and shoes. that will relieve me.
She and her friends went so far as to single out Nene as dangerous to their relationship? How fucking pathetic.
dont really know for sure but how extensively has one to play to get to know Nene ?
IMO they had to play for at least some hours to get a grasp of the characteristics of the chars right?
so they had to have some fun too while playing or they wouldnt have lasted that long
and in that way they could get accused of the same thing
(or are they dating sim experts like Katsuragi Keima ?)
Because she feels that her relationship is weak and she can't protect it from the likes of Nene.
Noooooo! Manaka why did you that? WHO TOOK THAT PICTURE! ANSWER ME! /furiously asks to do the same thing for me in LovePlus mode.
ぬぐして！今の！
"took away his DS to sell"(...) "had his ROM destroyed"
Where are the people who protect fictional children?
These women should be arrested for destroying and selling imaginery girls!!!
He would have been better off Divorced.
Oh yeah.... losing half your belongings and then being forced to pay alimony for years to come..... that's a win-win situation if I ever heard one. :\
and some people say ds is kiddy console huh~
WTF!! Its a game!! A god damn game! If those wives cant beat a 2D character maybe they need to give up their day job...
I really do question these women's actions and intentions when they got married. Seriously...If you feel threatened by a fictional ideal character stealing away your husband, you're doing something wrong as a wife clearly.
Then again: convening with lady friends, selling DS, keeping money and forcing the husband to pay for vacation? If that doesn't fit the image of the 'gold digger' type, I don't know what is. Though the alternative would be that she is very insecure...very. I guess the 'salary man' image is still needed just for marriage over there. Not like we don't have that here in the West, but it seems less prevelant than Japan. Well the 'yamato nadshiko' seems pretty extinct on the other hand.
Having no balls + No Guts + or Whatever + Inferiority Complex + Chose a Wrong Woman to Marry + Let Woman Controls + Fearful + Pee by Sitting + Obedient x (Suppressive Otaku + Salaryman) = Totally FKingPAWNED husband No Cure
At least those bad guys have the guts and strength to protect anything he have to protect, not just a fat suppressive obedient otaku husband that's merely just a money-making machine and "yes ma'm".
When i told my wife about the game she thought it sounded cool.....
Men who get pussy whipped >_>
Gee they should man up if their wives are complete bitches either that or fix your relationship otherwise it's time to cut your losses.
That's why you triple check that your choosen one understand what's a gaming is before wedding.
How come none of these men have balls? Why didnt they just say, "Fuck off woman, its my game and I will play it when I want." ?
how low can this woman go, she's just paranoid!!!
I am beginning to think this is actually related to all those crazy bans being pushed over, no husband > no money > lurking > men attracted to 2D and/or fictional and "more tolerant" beings > rage > embrace feminazism > protest to get rid of their "rivals"...
And you know the rest, pretty fucked up, but I think that makes the whole thing in Japan make sense.
* If he was *secretly* playing ero-games, their relationship has unresolved conflict.
* If I were him, I'd be enraged that she "consulted" with her lady friends on the issue. IMHO, my relationship is exclusively between me and my woman - not my woman and her mother, or her friends, or whatever. Likewise, it's no business of my family, drinking buddies, etc.
* Don't presume that playing ero-games means trouble in the bedroom. I live in the U.S., and I've got a friend who plays PC ero-games, has nudie computer wallpapers, etc., and his wife is cool with that (though since their son turned three, he's put his wallpaper to something non-sexual, put his DVD cases with the bondage-babe covers up on the highest shelf of their shared computer room, where the kid can't see 'em.)
When I've stayed overnight, crashing on the futon in their living room, I've heard sounds from the bedroom indicating some serious action in progress.
I doubt any woman wouldn't be offended if their partners decided to play eroge behind their backs.
Yes, I know the girls aren't real. Yes, I know it's just a game. Yes, I know nobody is committing adultery. Yes, I know she overreacted.
But seriously, how childish is it to hide erotic material from your own wife. For the love of God, she's not your mother!
...although it appears some wives are okay on taking on this role, denying their husbands allowance. So they deserve each other?...
hey now do you show around every game you play?You could think why would she even be interested in this?
How would the man know that it was so offending to her until she saw it?
He then explained the game to her and she tried the game which made her rage only more instead of being understanding that he was so fair as to show her the game and all.
This woman went overboard in relationships
True... I guess I should never underestimate people's capacity for craziness. What baffles me most is that I'm STILL baffled at how those marriages actually work.
Society is based on people getting used to putting up with all kinds of stuff, anyway. I should know better and leave the couple alone. Whatever floats their boat.
eh this was more in casses of husband having porn,but i guess this could go equaly
well there are some relationship where the women knows about this and the man told her.Only the woman says he should just hide it from her and continue leading a normaly married life.
I reckon this particular case is absurd. I don't think they're interested in each other romantically, just another marriage for convenience, so things like this are unavoidable.
I just can't think of a happy union where one person has to keep hiding their tastes from the other. Like Anon's example back there, isn't it much better when you can skip the mischief and be with someone who fully understands you?
Maybe this couple should just divorce already... unless they enjoy a twisted relationship of truth or dare that replaces healthy affection. Which could be totally be the case, by the way.
+1
Manaka? Who took your picture?! I need explanation!
...
Aaah, not playing LovePlus over a month will make her angry huh... She won't even hold my hands with me. ; A ;
Your fault. Manaka will surely not hold hands with you.
BITCHES AND WHORES
Apparently the men had no balls. And the women lacked brains.
They where right to see nene as a threat as I would leave my wife for nene.(If I had a wife)
more than likely, your waifu would be nene, if you could find a girl like that with those qualities.
They should make their husbands love them more if they dont want to lose to some fictional girls.
Punishing him makes him dislike his wife even more.
This is the most insightful comment.
If your husband is looking for refuge from a lousy marriage
then they have just made it worse.
If the husband only sees the game as a...well, game, then she has nothing to fear and just made a big deal out of nothing.
This is my advice to any wife concerned about their husband masturbating, fuck your husband. A man only feels like fapping 2-3 times a day, if you fuck your husband he simply will have no motivation to fap to anything else.
(He might still like to look at porn)
Don't forget that porn can give the wife some hints about what kind of fantasies the husband has, what if the man is just wishing for a "special" kind of "job" ??
That's what will happen when these women never played dating sim games..
Amen to that. What ever happened to communication and compromise in a marriage? It takes two to tango, and it's clear that the wife is not doing her bit in any way, shape, or form.
Then again, I just find it ridiculous that the husband would take this shit from his wife. If she isn't cooperating in this marriage, why should he?
Assuming he is not just playing the game for fun...
