First Filming — Fifty‑Something Wife Documentary: 福田由貴

About this work

“I give my husband a solid 90 points as a dad. As a husband… maybe about 20 points (laughs)?” Yuki Fukuda (福田由貴), 55, from Osaka. Married for 31 years, she is a working esthetician. Their two children are independent, and now she lives only with her husband, who has been by her side since their student days. “Well, even though it’s just the two of us, since we both work we’re usually on our own. Because of work, I’m not lonely.” Her husband drinks and comes home late, and Yuki works on weekends, so their schedules often miss each other. Eventually, because of his snoring and restless sleeping habits they began sleeping in separate rooms and have become completely sexless.
