Everyone is alone in the end. We all die in our own arms.
If you think marriage will save you the indignities of misfortunate ageing possibilities, well, more denial power to ya.
More than one man has been left to deal with his stroke all by his lonesome, marriage or no.
Women tend to outlive men by around 7-10 yrs and if you’ve ever been anywhere near an aged care home, nursing home or aged hospital ward, your heart would sink to your feet at the sad and sorry sight of elderly women with incredibly afraid and needy looks in their eyes.
Some folks have a very deluded notion of life and how it tends to end.
Getting hitched because of your fears of aged convalescence or having a nurse maid after a stroke… now that is very sad indeed. Pity the poor schlep who married ya.
