Middle-aged women are the most difficult; these three hurdles, one harder than the other
Human beings in middle age are actually the most awkward stage of life. Neither have the vigor of young people, nor the passion and enthusiasm that young people should have. They are also more unwilling than the elderly, and sometimes have a reckless impulse to take a gamble.
People's experience and insights are all step by step, when they reach middle age, many people only begin to truly understand the meaning of life. But in a blink of an eye, life has passed half, the distant youth, the remaining half of the years, it seems that it cannot withstand any turmoil.
This applies to middle-aged men and women alike.
Middle-aged men are most afraid of being unable to support a family. Then, what are middle-aged women most afraid of?
01
Family illness.
As the saying goes, 'Keeping a green tree is better than having a withered one.' Health is a person's 'green tree,' and it's their biggest capital.
These days, it's not about being poor, it's not about being poor, but a serious illness can drain a family's savings in an instant.
When people reach middle age, regardless of whether men or women, the most afraid of is that their family members get sick. Because they have elderly parents, as people age, their resistance weakens, and various diseases will take advantage of it.
They have immature children, and children are weak in resistance. They will often go to the hospital for treatment.
They are also afraid of getting sick themselves, because they are the pillar of the family, and children cannot be without care. They have to work, because without money, there is no cure. Children cannot be neglected, because they are still young and need care. Every day, they rush between work, hospitals, and home, just thinking about it is exhausting.
Long-term fatigue and excessive psychological pressure will eventually lead to collapse, outburst, and the fading of family affection.
In this world, as long as you are not sick, it doesn't matter if you are poor.
02
No money.
Let me tell you a cruel truth: when people reach middle age without money, they will experience countless despair.
If a middle-aged woman doesn't have money, she can only endure her husband's anger and her mother-in-law's gaze, and she can't even afford to cry.
If a middle-aged woman doesn't have money, she'll look older than her peers. Because she can't afford to buy beautiful clothes, and she can't afford good skincare products. Also because of repressed emotions and overthinking, which accelerates her aging.
If a middle-aged woman doesn't have money, she won't be able to stand tall in her hometown. It's possible that even the closest people in her hometown will look down on her. Not all family relationships are so great and so affectionate.
If a middle-aged woman doesn't have money, her children will either look down on her because she can't afford the same snacks and toys as other children, or they'll say she's 'a stingy mother' when she tries to buy a box of strawberries.
Ask yourself, when a woman hears her child use a scornful tone to call her 'a stingy mother,' how devastated would she be?
Of course, if there's enough money, who would want to be stingy? Who would want to deny their children anything?
Money is a person's confidence, and a middle-aged woman without money is like being naked and exposed, facing endless contempt, ridicule, and despair.
03
Being abandoned.
Why is this so? Because middle-aged women are in a very awkward age.
At this age, they are abandoned after an extramarital affair, and it's unrealistic to find another married man. Even if they do, they will always feel something is wrong.
If they find a second-married man, there are usually family members to take care of. Women don't want to be a stepmother, and firstly, it's difficult to get along with, and secondly, it's psychologically unbalanced. They don't take care of their own children, and they don't take care of the children of others. No one will be happy.
If you live alone, it seems that you've been frustrated, and in the end, you're a widow. It's a pity.
When people reach middle age, men and women must support each other, and welcome every change in life. It's not for anything else, just so that when you truly grow old, you'll have someone to chat with and accompany you.
Everyone will grow old, and this is something that no one can stop. When we grow old, when we reach middle age, we should support each other and welcome every change in life.
