Life partner

Yeah, no joke.

A Senior colleague told me the importance of a lifelong partner. Though he is rarely worthy of listening, this time round he does make sense or at least when I am sick.

He told me that as men ages, their charm increased so there is no worry of lacking any lady companions as long as they have money.

However, this is not the same as women. As women reach the age of 30, they are considered more or less old and the chances of getting hitched is slimmer.

By the age of 35, women are certainly goods that are not able to sell.

Geez...that is a cruel truth reiterated by someone whom I have known.

Now, there are many reasons why people especially women refused to get married.

With their present salary, they can live in comfort without any hint of worry. That is the comfort zone that most do not wish to get out unless they have found the legendary golden tortoise.

They must have seen how their married counterparts have to scrimp and cope with things like couple's spats, financial problems, jealousy and kids etc. All this could lead to a potential early death.

Why people like to get married and go through all these rituals of life is to just get a taste of life and to get a mate that will last for life and through your old age?

The problem is will the marriage last till then? The divorce rates are quite high. And you cant hardly depend on your kids in your old age unlike the past.

Just like keeping a pet, will you be able to let go of your loved ones when they passed through the final ritual of life? That is so unthinkable.

But people will say, that is life. How can someone's life be so predictable? All they have are those sweetness and no bitterness?
That's not life and there will be no life if you have not experienced it.

The senior colleague told me, you dont just get married to anyone, you should date a couple to find out who is the right one for you. Just like choosing a computer, you try out first before you know your own requirements for the next computer.

How can you try like that? People have feelings and not like computers they are dead materials. Humans have feelings. How can you ignore that person's feelings? Do they have the same perspective as you before you start the relationship? What if they cannot take it?

These are things that I dont how to answer even when my friends raised them.

These are the biggest questions that one will face when deciding the relationship. I do not know how come people have the courage to pursue relationships even after they have failed the previous ones.
