A man in Japan has shocked social media by sharing his bizarre relationship with his wife and her new boyfriend.
Japanese chef and blogger, who goes by the name Prince Soy, went viral after sharing a series of videos documenting the three-way relationship.
Prince Soy said his wife, Seira, whom he dated for two years and has been married to for three years, went to Australia to study last year, and met a Japanese student there, who later became her lover.
She was honest with her husband about the man, and he appeared to accept – even embrace – the situation.
On July 12, when Seira brought her boyfriend to the marital home, Prince Soy affectionately greeted them both.
They lived under the same roof for a week with the married couple sleeping in their bedroom, and the boyfriend, whose name was not revealed, staying on the sofa.
They cooked and did housework together, and when Seira had a disagreement with her lover, Prince Soy mediated.
When the boyfriend left after a week, Prince Soy said he was sad to see him go and told him to come back anytime.
Many found their relationship bizarre, but Prince Soy said he and his wife had agreed on an open relationship when they were dating.
He said his wife had more than one boyfriend while being with him, and was honest with him every time.
He even paid tribute to his wife’s recent lover that she met in Australia: “I thank him wholeheartedly as he supported my wife while she was having a hard time abroad.
“He must be an interesting person, or my wife would not fall for him.”
He added that this three-person relationship offers him “precious experience” that he will use in promoting his food products and services.
Prince Soy said he also accepted the relationship because he knows his wife’s hobby is “acquiring boyfriends”.
“I feel happy as long as my wife is happy,” he said.
However, he insisted that no matter how many boyfriends she has, nobody could take his place, and that he felt sorry for the other men because “they could never be her husband”.
Their open relationship sparked heated discussions online, with one of his X posts attracting 100,000 likes and 8,000 reposts.
“Do they even love each other?” one person asked.
“It is just an ordinary open relationship. It is fine as long as the couple agree to it and are honest about it,” another said.
“Where to find a husband this understanding and thoughtful?” someone else joked.
