Living together is a choice that many people make in life.
Some people seek economic stability, some seek spiritual sustenance, and some just need a companion.
However, in the face of various tests of life, can the relationship between partners withstand the wind and waves?
68-year-old Aunt Li, after 10 years of partner life, finally understood a truth: when you are sick, you will know whether you are sincere with each other.
Next, let's listen to her own story.
Aunt Li's self-report:
I am 68 years old and have been living with Lao Wang for 10 years.
We met through a friend's introduction, when he had just retired from the company, and I was starting to live a lonely life because my children had started a family.
We hit it off and decided to live together as a couple.
In the first few years, we had a very good time.
We each have pensions, so there is no financial pressure.
We go to the vegetable market together every day to buy groceries, cook together, and eat together.
In our spare time, we go for a walk in the park and chat.
At that time, I really felt that my old age was quite good.
However, as time went on, the contradictions between us began to emerge as well.
He is more frugal, while I like to pursue quality of life.
He likes to watch TV to pass the time, while I like to read and write. Although they are all trivial things, they have accumulated a lot, and they are also unhappy.
Last year, I had a serious illness. The doctor said I needed surgery and would have to stay in the hospital for a while.
At that time, I was really scared.
My children are all working in other places and can't be with me all the time.
I thought, this is over, the relationship between me and Lao Wang was already strained, and now that I am sick again, he will definitely dislike me.
To my surprise, Lao Wang behaved very well during my illness.
He stayed at my bedside every day and took care of my food and daily life.
He also learned to give me a massage to relieve the pain after the surgery.
He accompanied me through the most difficult times and made me feel like family.
After recovering from my illness, I was full of gratitude to Lao Wang.
I understand a truth: when you get sick, you know whether you are sincere with each other.
During this period of partnership, although we had quarrels and contradictions, we were still able to support and take care of each other at critical moments.
This kind of relationship has gone beyond a simple partner relationship, and is more like an emotional bond between relatives.
Now, my relationship with Lao Wang is more harmonious than before.
We have learned to cherish each other, and we have learned to be tolerant and understanding.
We still go to the market together every day to buy groceries, cook together, and eat together.
The difference is that we have more smiles and a happier mood.
It is not easy to live together, and it requires sincerity and hard work on both sides.
In the face of all kinds of trials in life, only by treating each other sincerely and working together can we go through the wind and rain and reap happiness.
For Aunt Li and Lao Wang, they interpreted the true meaning of this sentence with their own practical actions: when you are sick, you will know whether they are sincere with each other.
I hope that their stories can bring inspiration and warmth to more people, so that we can cherish the people around us and work together to overcome every difficulty in life.
