Before marriage, the other party promised a lot, but unexpectedly it was only half the truth.
After her husband passed away, Ms. Hoa (57 years old, China) decided to remarry because she did not want to live alone. But unexpectedly, her second marriage made her realize that living alone was more comfortable.
Below is the story she shared.
My previous marriage was very happy. My husband loved me very much and always gave in to me in everything. Unfortunately, such a good man could not be with me until the end of his life. A year before I retired, my husband unfortunately passed away in a traffic accident.
My husband had very deep feelings for me, and I could never forget the memories of him. So after he passed away, I thought I would live alone until I was old. But after living alone for a while, I felt too bored. I decided to live with my son, planning to retire there. However, after moving in, I found that there were many things I was unfamiliar with, and life was really uncomfortable. So I came up with the idea of finding a partner to spend the rest of my life with, so I wouldn't have to live at my son's house and wouldn't be lonely.
However, finding a partner was not easy. I looked at all the single men around but there was no suitable one. It was not until a year later that I met a man who made my heart flutter - Mr. Lam.
We dated for a while, and we were very compatible. I was very satisfied with his lifestyle and the way he treated people. However, when he proposed marriage, I hesitated. Because there was always information on the internet about remarried women becoming free maids, which made me worried and uneasy.
Second marriage and the harsh truth
After that, Mr. Lam knew my worries, he immediately expressed his attitude, promising that after we got married, he would give me 6000 yuan (about 21 million VND) in living expenses every month, and share the housework with me. If one day he could not take care of himself, he would not bother me but would hire a maid to take care of him. Seeing Mr. Lam's sincere attitude, I was moved.
Since Mr. Lam and I moved in together, I have had many things that I am not satisfied with him. He does give me monthly living expenses and shares the housework with me. However, after living with him for half a year, the monthly living expenses are not enough, I still have to pay out of my own pocket. Over time, I gradually understood why Mr. Lam was looking for a partner.
Every month, Mr. Lam gives me 6,000 NDT, but since I moved in with him, he calls his children home for dinner every day. Mr. Lam has a son and a daughter, and every time he comes home, the whole family comes, and the dinner table is always full of people.
Mr. Lam's children are very picky eaters, always demanding fresh, high-quality ingredients. Every day when I go to the market, I have to rack my brain to cook for the whole family. If Mr. Lam's children would help, that would be fine, but they come and just bury their faces in their phones, leaving me to worry about everything by myself, eating and then going home, while Mr. Lam always chooses easy, leisurely housework. Every day I am caught up in housework, cooking, cleaning, and by the time I finish, I feel like I'm about to fall apart.
Not to mention Mr. Lam is a proud person, every two or three days he invites friends over to eat and drink, forcing me to buy expensive things, as a result, a month's living expenses are not enough, I still have to pay extra. I complain, he blames me for not knowing how to spend money.
Find the joy of old age
Living like that for more than half a year, I felt extremely regretful. I thought I had found a man who understood me and loved me, but unexpectedly I brought home a "boss" who was only good at ordering me around. Seeing through everything, I decided to divorce Mr. Lam and started planning my own life.
After my second failed marriage, I realized that if I don't have a solid emotional foundation, it's better to live alone comfortably. To stop feeling lonely, I seriously rearranged my life and found some hobbies.
In the morning, I wake up and go to the park near my house to practice dancing. After lunch, I leisurely make myself a pot of black tea and sip it. In the evening, after dinner, I stay home and watch movies. Since then, I feel less lonely and full of energy for life.
