Afraid of dying alone?

[Mr. ManParticipant 2916]

Have any of you read Tolstoy’s short story, “The Death of Ivan Ilyich”?

If not, I highly recommend it. And while it’s a work of fiction, it speaks to this thread’s topic quite lucidly — and it was written in 1886.

Of the thousands of fiction and nonfiction stories I’ve read in my life, this short story stands out among my favorites. Here it is in PDF form: “The Death of Ivan Ilyich.”

Edit: P.S. If you have the patience, then I highly recommend you buy a paper copy of this book. Then, curl up in your favorite reading chair, with your favorite drink by your side, and savor every word of this book. You will thank me later. You’re welcome.

Doesn’t the wife usually out live the husband?

Everyone dies alone…..except cult members!

I used to be. Not anymore. It’s like so many said. Everyone is going to die alone. I can see that just by watching the examples around me. To list a few:

My great-uncle had 7 children. One died and none of the other six wanted the work to take care of him so he died in a nursing home.

My parents and I took care of my maternal grandfather until the time of his death but when his time came he had to make that journey alone like everyone else.

My paternal grandfather is under care of my grandmother. Now that he is blind and defenseless there is nothing preventing her from nagging the hell out him whenever she wants. She screams at him and say nasty stuff all the time.

And that’s only in my family. If I listed examples from my neighbors and my friend’s families we’d be here for a month.

So marriage isn’t a guarantee that you will get taken care of. Most sons and daughters think their eldery parents are a burden and wives are more than likely than abuse their elder husbands helpless state to vent their frustations. Do you want to risk being in this situation?

Pity and contempt are siblings. You only feel pity for those you consider weak.

My niece worked in a senior citizen home for a few years. She said that more often than not, when someone was ready to shuffle off this mortal coil, they’d wait until there were no nursing staff or family in the room. Her point was this: that most people want to die on their own. Alone. That is the natural choice.

She said all of this to me while my mom and I were caring for my dad in what were obviously his final days. Mom and I took shifts to be with him 24/7. And yet, when I went downstairs to shower and mom sat down to read a book, dad checked out. All of that round the clock care was for naught. He wanted to go alone.

Actually, I look forward to death. Forever rest and peace.

That being said, I really hope that assisted suicide becomes legal by the time I start having major issues. I’ve lived my life MY OWN WAY, and I want to die MY OWN WAY. The moment I need a catheter or lose my mobility, I want to die.

The sad thing is, the only reason why assisted suicide is illegal is so all the medical and pharmaceutical companies can make a killing off of you while you’re on your way out. And I don’t see that changing.

Before all this modern medical BS, when you needed a catheter, you simply died of renal failure. Now we keep people alive for no reason at all so they can suffer and pay money. That being said, dying of renal failure sucks and is painful so I’d want a lethal injection at that point. But sticking a tube up my dick and making me p~~~ in a bag that’s taped to my leg? NO THANKS!

My death will be in a sports car doing over 300km/h with a bottle in hand. What more could one possibly want other than speed and alcohol as their final act. I’d be pretty happy with going out that way rather than the slow and painful death that is a woman’s nagging.

A MGTOW is a man who is not a woman's bitch!

I’ve always envied the dead. They don’t have to put up with people’s s~~~ anymore.

I have discovered a truly remarkable list of reasons why women are not necessary for a happy life, but alas this margin is too small to contain it.

[Eric LauderParticipant 12043]

Are WOMEN afraid of die alone?
No.
They LOVE to die alone.
Women outlive their husbands of about 7 years, plus more women have a strong tendency to marry men who are older than them: once it was 10 years, now it’s more like 5 years, but, STILL, women spend on average the last 12 years of their lives ALONE, and ALMOST ALL WOMEN DIE ALONE.

So we should ask the right question:

: Aren’t you afraid to die alone?

: Not really, to die alone it’s a good deal when in exchange I can marry a man who is older and by so have more knowledge and money than me!

The concept of “dying alone” terrifies women more than men. And they use it all the time as the first / only / last shaming attempt to try and “sell” men the hocus-jokus of a fraudulent marriage contract.

It’s exactly the same kind of “fear tactic” the church uses. They can’t get you to embrace marriage (or jesus ) using any rational logic, so they will now SCARE you into it. “If you don’t pray, you’re going to burn in hell for all eternity”. Women do the same s~~~:

“if you don’t want to marry some nagging harpie, you’re going to die alone!”

— OR —

“aren’t you afraid of dying alone?”

“Actually, women outlive their husbands by an average of 8 years. So even if I were stupid enough to marry you, it’s still more likely that YOU will die alone.”

We go through death, via sleeping, everyday and look how peaceful and calm it is! Honestly the universe is vast and billions of years old and it has moved on without us and will continue to do so regardless of how ‘special’ we might feel. The best way to describe death is to think of it how it was before you were born and that’s a state of nothingness. Just matter passing through time and space.

[Freeman_KParticipant 3524]

Fear of death is a very powerfull manipulation tool because people are convinced it is something painful. I am not afraid of dying, it is just that i dont want to. Life is great, even with the suffering you endure you wake up one day with realization you are now tougher.

That said, some deaths are terrible. Old age illness, prolonged sufferings. Death alone is nothing more than slipping into unconsciousness and i would rather say i am afraid of illness and immobility, but death, no. And if i am free of emotional terrorists at the old age i see this as a plus.

The choices we make, not the chances we take, determine our destiny

Why would you want a woman there when you die? Maybe the image of your mother, but otherwise it would be inviting evil to be there for your sendoff. Go it alone (where have I heard this before?)

The only people I have known who clearly wished me dead were women, and I am not about to risk that s~~~ again…

[Anonymous 16]

Im have been in contact with death since im 20.
Im not afraid of it, actually death is afraid of me. I think im gonna live forever couse that bish aint coming for me anytime soon. death just ignore me.

Yes we all die alone.

And i too hope to assisted suicide is legal in few years.
I wanna die like a men look to death in the eyes and say… WTH it took you soo long? WTF where you doing baking cookies? lets go bitch.

And no die in a strange bed covered in my own s~~~ and p~~~.

[TicParticipant 4329]

dying is the easy part. Living is what’s hard. I prefer to do both alone.

God bless peace and freedom.

[RedDawnParticipant 1391]

Women don’t even understand the question they’re asking. I’m not scared of dying alone because I’ll be dead. It’s the living alone that I think they are really referring to. And that in itself is up to perception.

One man’s emptiness is another man’s freedom, one man’s cage is another man’s raison d’etre.

The question itself is a projection of their own fear of being alone. I sometimes feel lonely, but I’ll never be weak enough to cohabitate with a succubus. Loneliness can be addressed with friendships, volunteering, animals, exercise, meditation, creating and working on goals and realising that life exists only today.

It’s like when women want to know how much you “MAKE”.
But if they had any sense at all, they would care more about how much you SAVE.

They make it all about “dying alone” because they know living with her is pure hell. If women were a joy to go though life with, they would try to convince you to LIVE WITH one… instead of being more concerned about DYING WITHOUT one.

And where does this mentality come from??

“Women in their hearts believe men are supposed to earn money so that she may spend it. Preferably during his lifetime, but at any rate after his death”.
– Schopenhauer c.1865

They don’t give a f~~~ about how you live OR die….
as long as you leave your house/money/assets to a greedy selfish c~~~.

So when a woman asks “aren’t you afraid of dying alone?”…. she’s really asking “who’s gonna get your stuff, sell it off and waste the money?”.

It’s really the only explanation for why we hear that question from them OVER AND OVER again and they are so obsessed with your “dying alone”. Would it surprise anyone if she would get a thrill out of pulling the plug herself?

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

[AntipathyParticipant 4901]

I really don’t see the difference, dying with a resource awaiting wife by your bed, or a nurse an a doctor by it. Infact I think i’d rather the latter. At least the nurse and doctor don’t benefit from your death like your wife would.
