Lost Passion: The Struggles of Aging in a Mundane Life

November 28, 2023

When it comes to family, as a couple grows older, life becomes more and more mundane. After a busy day outside, coming home, one doesn't feel like doing anything, not even talking. Communication with the spouse becomes less and less, and it seems like both lack passion. Knowing that this is not good, it's just hard to muster the energy. I don't know why, but I often get impatient with trivial matters and sometimes even argue. Most of the time, it's just a cold war, with neither of us speaking to each other. Clearly, our energy is not what it used to be, and our intimate life feels like a routine. Sometimes, I'm even afraid to come home and face my wife. I feel like I'm rapidly aging, both physically and mentally.

Men are often insensitive and unwilling to admit to aging, unlike women who are more attentive to self-care. As we get older, we often feel inadequate and experience a decline in energy and physical strength. It becomes difficult to concentrate on work and learning, and our memory is not as good. We also have trouble sleeping at night...

1. Continuous work pressure

Normal working hours for most people should not exceed 10 hours, as this is the maximum load for a healthy body. However, urban adult males in our country often face work pressures that last for more than 12 hours, leading to significant psychological burden.

2. Sense of loss

A pessimistic disappointment in career, relationships, and other aspects, as well as shattered self-confidence, constantly hang over urban men like an unshakeable shadow.

3. High pressure of competition

Today's male white-collar workers exist in a fiercely competitive era, and the feeling of insecurity and instability always erodes one's inner self.
