Considering Japanese culture, I'm not surprised. This is what happens when you have super-conservative social values backed up by a strong pressure to conform. Few people are willing to take a risk or convey honest feelings, and both of those things are inherent in a romantic relationship.

Wouldn’t strong pressure to confirm mean just finding someone to be in a relationship with even if not happy ?

Wouldn’t there be social pressure just as strong or stronger to be married/in a relationship?
