In Marriage, Living Apart, How Long Can Men Endure? The Answer Will Surprise You

With the development of society nowadays, many people are living apart.

This phenomenon used to be uncommon, but now it’s becoming more common. Recently, while looking for a job, I discovered a requirement in job postings:

Both husband and wife must live apart.

Seeing this requirement made me realize that the situation where a couple is not together is becoming more common.

During the days when two people are apart, they always miss each other, unless there is no love between them.

Recently, I asked a man:

In a marriage where the two are not together, how long can a man endure?

The man’s unexpected answer surprised us. He said:

“As long as a woman can endure, we can endure.”

He also mentioned that his wife has been away for a long time, but he doesn’t miss her at all. As long as they don’t divorce, they can continue living apart forever.

Women are more faithful

Women in life tend to be more faithful than men. When two people are apart, women often miss men a lot, but men are not the same.

I remember when I was young, I overheard a conversation between a woman and her husband on a public phone.

The woman’s husband was far away at that time, and they hadn’t seen each other for almost a year.

When the husband asked her, “Do you miss me?”

The woman started crying, but the man just laughed.

Sometimes women are more faithful like this. When two people live apart, women often miss men a lot, but men are not always the same.

Some women shed tears when missing men, but men keep smiling.

In this life, find a man who is responsible for himself. Even if the two are apart, it won’t affect the relationship as long as the man is responsible and doesn’t love the woman as much as she loves him.

People will gradually drift apart

Over time, people will gradually drift apart. At the beginning of a relationship, both parties can’t be separated. Men may pursue women persistently at first, but sometimes what’s hard to get is the best, once obtained, it’s no longer as good.

Sometimes, women think men will love them forever, but reality proves otherwise.

Sometimes, men casually mention missing women, and women believe it, but in reality, the distance between them is increasing.

Relationships often transition from passionate to calm, it’s a rule of love.

Therefore, when the feelings between a couple start to fade, women shouldn’t be too sad. It’s a natural law, and men are like this. The pursuit may fade as time goes by.

Focus on yourself, and maybe one day you will attract your man.

Even if you don’t attract him, you will end up living a better life.

Life’s challenges can strengthen our will

Living apart can actually test our willpower.

Sometimes, if two people are together every day, it may lead to many conflicts. When they are apart, they may miss each other a bit more.

The saying “distance makes the heart grow fonder” has its point. In some cases, spending some time apart can be beneficial for both individuals.

Many times, people don’t appreciate the presence of their loved ones until they are gone.

Therefore, facing challenges together can strengthen our willpower.

Some people, after parting ways, focus on themselves, which leads to personal growth.

In many cases, when someone is always around, the relationship may face issues. But when they are separated for a while, they understand the importance of loving and cherishing each other, which can reignite their feelings.

So, if a man seems to lose interest in a woman, it’s okay. Taking a break sometimes can keep the relationship fresh.

Perhaps parting is also for the sake of the family

Often, parting ways is for the sake of the family. Sometimes, men may seem indifferent even though they miss their wives dearly. They may hide their inner vulnerabilities because they don’t want to appear weak.

When a man conceals his vulnerabilities, women may perceive him as heartless.

Many people leave their hometowns for the sake of their families, with children and parents at home who depend on them.

When your partner leaves, focus on your own efforts because the separation may hinder your progress.

In life, many women tend to complain about men, thinking that being apart is a bad thing.

This shows women are emotional in relationships, often prioritizing their feelings without considering men’s emotions.

Imagine two people spending all their time together but not making efforts to improve their lives. In such cases, their lives will become increasingly difficult.

As the saying goes:

“Hard times reveal true love between a couple.”

When a couple’s life becomes increasingly challenging, their relationship will face problems.

Therefore, sometimes being apart is not always a bad thing. Both partners working hard for the family will lead to a better home and a stronger relationship.

In marriages with distance, how long men endure can vary. Some men are rational and can endure for a long time.

Sometimes you may think men have physical needs and miss women a lot, but men often have self-control and rationality, allowing them to endure.

As a woman, being more emotional, you may deeply miss your man at times.
