From the outside, most marriages look very perfect and happy. Laughing moments with family, beautiful pictures of smiling people on social media, and everything looks content and organized. But behind the closed doors of the house, sometimes the reality is different. Some husband and wife secretly get attracted towards someone else. The biggest shock comes when you come to know that your life partner is secretly looking for ‘another partner’ on a dating app. This experience can be extremely painful and disturbing, because it hides the deep pain of betrayal.

Now a similar situation is rapidly emerging in Japan also. A special dating app is becoming very popular there, which is specially designed for married people. With the help of this app, married people can search for more than one partner while maintaining their existing married life. According to a recent report named Project Nightfall, more than 3.5 lakh people have downloaded this app without any advertisements and the most surprising thing is that a new match is created on this app every 7 seconds. That means people are making new connections very fast, which shows how deep this need is.

Growing concern about digital fraud

After these figures came out, there has been a lot of stir in the Japanese society. Especially middle class people, social workers and relationship experts are very worried. Many people are considering this app as a big example of ‘digital infidelity’. Here, even before physical relations are formed, emotional and romantic bonding takes place online, which can weaken marital relationships from within. This app bills itself as a ‘secret friendship’ or ‘safe place’. Users can remain completely anonymous, create fake or hidden profiles, and use very strict privacy settings. Due to all this it becomes difficult to find out who the other person actually is. For this reason, many married people talk openly to strangers and share their feelings without any fear.

divided opinions in society

In Japan, people’s opinions are very divided on this issue. Some people support this and say that there is too much work pressure in Japan. People leave early in the morning, return home late at night, there is a lot of fatigue, and social isolation (loneliness) is also increasing. Due to all this there is emotional distance between husband and wife. In such a situation, this app is not creating any new problem, rather it is just bringing to the fore what already exists, that is, it is showing the real reality of the society. On the other hand, people who oppose consider it very wrong. He says that this app is directly endangering marriage and family values. They fear that with such technology the coming generations will start giving less importance to loyalty and commitment. Long-standing social norms may weaken, and the feeling of responsibility in relationships may disappear.

Heated debate on social media also

This discussion has now become very intense on social media also. Some people say that if one is not finding happiness in a relationship, then a person naturally searches for happiness, it is a human need. Others consider it an excuse and say that it is an easy way to escape from the responsibilities of marriage. Instead of facing their real problems, people start looking outside. This dating app is not just an app. It clearly shows the changing nature of relationships in Japan, increasing loneliness, the hustle and bustle of modern life and the pressure of work.
