Living together

Việt Văn |

He is not yet 50, the age of “knowing one’s destiny” but speaks softly, slowly, and is much calmer than his age. Since divorcing his wife, he has had many relationships but still decided not to live with anyone anymore.

In the morning, while drinking tea, my friend, who had a manly temperament, laughed heartily and asked me why I didn't get married anymore, was it because "birds are afraid of curved branches"? He laughed: I don't know, but the problem is that there is no one I want to live with 24/7, and the older I get, the harder it is to find someone. She has one good point and another bad point, there is a girl who thought the final was near, but at the last minute, she discovered a fatal flaw: she was afraid of air conditioning. There is a girl, just because of a detail, or rather, her habit of always saying "Do you understand?" over and over again, at first he could stand it, but later he couldn't stand it.

He asked his friend why women are so strange, they just don't understand that we men sometimes just like to live alone, eat alone, drink alone and think about life alone, why do we always have to be in pairs.

My friend shook her head: You wouldn't understand, because you're still young and not old yet. My brother used to boldly declare that he liked to live freely, that he didn't need anyone all his life, but when he was sick in bed, alone at the age of 70, he regretted the past.

You may nod, but maybe the time has not come yet, so you have not met a girl that you want to be with for the rest of your life. There is a girl, beautiful, tall, twenty years younger, who keeps calling and texting you all day to confess her love, but unfortunately I am not moved at all, so I just ignore her. There is a girl who keeps asking for shirts, phones, shoes all day long, but I just want to hang out with her, not wanting any commitment or responsibility.

She smiled: I don't want a guy like you, because you're like a colorful painting, and every girl wants to own a piece of color. You're not a family person, don't like responsibility, and are actually selfish.

He also smiled: That's why I can play with you, because you're not my type. In my nightmares, I never had the crazy idea of ​​living with you. Anyway, come have a beer with me this afternoon, this restaurant has some great dishes!
