This is the confession of a non-marital. As you know, many people today feel that marriage means bondage and worldliness.

Many people watch their parents who can't live this life well. So they will have fear of married life. So there is a large number of practitioners or experienced who feel that they might be happier without marriage.

So today we share the confessions of a non-marriage man's life. He described his journey from the age of 28 until he was 79. His life can be roughly divided into three stages.

At this stage he advocates that people should have a high-quality life experience, he feels that life is to be dashing and free. He also experienced dating and the decision to get married, but in the end, he chose to escape because of his fear of worldly life.

During this period, he enjoyed being alone so much that he could focus on his work and even acquired a very rich fortune.

He had three suites, a car, and a lot of savings. At least it was too much to spend in this lifetime. At the age of 38, he also realized his youthful dream of quitting his job and going on a trip.

He is used to being alone. When he was faced with a group of people together. Compared with the worldly life of a place, he would feel very juvenile and has a vigorous spirit.

At this moment he firmly believes that he has made the right choice. So he lived his own quality life until the age of 45, and he kept his private sphere and maintained a boundary with the people around him.

At this time he began to appreciate that his body was not as strong as before, and he began to work out. And since his parents passed away when he was 55, he suddenly experienced a great sense of loss. Suddenly he felt that companionship was very precious to him at this stage.

And he met the love he imagined at this stage. It's just that when he wanted to start a family, the other person chose to run away. He returned to his old life.

He went to a nursing home. By this time, he had lost his freedom, so these things that he originally sought after freedom no longer mattered. He began to experience the loneliness of the young teacher.

He saw that those lonely people like him, who had no money in the nursing home, would be even more miserable. Fortunately, he still had some wealth, and he used it to impress the people around him so that they would take care of him in his old age. At this time, it was the moment of waiting for the end.

Until he was 79 years old when he was lying in bed ready to leave. Perhaps there is some regret at this moment. For he chose a life of freedom and rejected a life of worldliness.

He chose to enjoy his youth and the freedom of his youth, he necessarily had to face the loneliness of old age, and there was no way to get more companionship in old age.

When he lies in bed, he can only silently pay for his choice to go. Because after all, they are an adult.

Help him calculate ah, 28 to 45 years old, a total of 17 years. He spent 17 years very freely and soundly. You can say that these 17 years are the highlight of his life.

From the age of 50 to 65, he began to go downhill, began to feel the impermanence of life, and began to feel lonely. Began to have a hint of regret. Began to doubt his choice. But at this moment it is too late. It is safe to say that the quality of life in these 15 years may not be as high as before.

He began to have some fear, he began to have some need for companionship, and he began to have this desire to have a family. But what about this moment? It is no longer possible to turn back the clock.

Even if he met the person of his choice. Eventually, the other person chose to give up. So without the guarantee of marriage, no one is obligated to be with you for the rest of your life, right?

The third stage is the age of 70 to 79. This age is not a high life expectancy at this stage, and it is normal to live to 80.

When he goes to a nursing home, he loses his family's happiness, his affection, his family's company, and his freedom. He can only bear the result of his own choice. Even if his heart is regretful, it is about nine years.

Let's take a look at all these years, that is to say, it was 17 years of soundness. 15 years of physical incompetence and loneliness, and 9 years of torment in old age. With this account, you can also calculate for yourself whether it is cost-effective or not.

So for a lot of people now, if you think not married will be happier, you can also look at ah this article. As long as you can accept that in the back of the twenty years, you live not as free as you thought, or so dashing, so quality.

In other words, the old saying is that when you are young and beautiful when you are old and lonely. We have an old Chinese saying that the good when you are young is not good, only the good when you are old is good.

It is only at the moment you leave, you feel that you are down-to-earth content, you have a lot of people with you, and your heart may be more peaceful.

Of course, there may be people who say they don't care, that's okay, their own life of their own choice. When you think clearly, OK I just want to not get married, I will feel happier then, then you will be bold to do. No matter what the result, you are going to face it.
