when he was a younger man he read about old men
\nwho wanted wives to take care of them<\/p>\n
he thought how selfish that was to want a woman
\nas a caregiver instead of as a wife to love and be grateful for<\/p>\n
now that he\u2019s an old man he still feels the same way
\nand would never want to burden a girlfriend or a wife
\nwith having to take care of him<\/p>\n
he\u2019d rather be alone than subject a woman to be little more than hired help<\/p>\n
he\u2019d rather be alone than put a woman through the
\nagonies and the stresses of being a caregiver wife<\/p>\n
and all his life he\u2019s worked out and taken care of himself
\nwith the hope he never becomes so debilitated <\/p>\n
that he needs to be taken care of and lose
\nhis lifelong freedom and independence<\/p>\n
