Is it common for Japanese guys to be really controlling of their girlfriends/wives?

I'm living in Japan and my Japanese girlfriend's female friends all seem to be on a very tight leash, eg: Don't see your friends without permission, be home with dinner made every day.

My girlfriend seemed surprised when I didn't mind her seeing friends, among other things. Generally the treatment of female spouses by males seems... harsh to me. Have you found the same in your studies? Does it differ when a Japanese man dates a non-Japanese woman?

Cool, thanks for your reply. Dating across cultures can be hard.

I'm probably late, but what lifestyle changes can we make to prevent getting osteoarthritis?
