「老伴」的幸福指數
惟雯說故事
新的養老觀 ~~什麼人最窮???
沒有朋友的人最窮!!!
你有幾個「老伴」?
如果你單身、失婚或者老年喪偶,沒有老伴,該怎麼辦?
別擔心,老伴不是指婚姻關係裡的配偶,而是泛指「老來一起作伴」的親朋好友。
假設你的答案是「只有1個」,很抱歉,顯示你的支持網絡薄弱,你的生活十分退縮封閉;10個,不錯,相當充實;20個,恭喜你,保證生活非常多采多姿。
一般人常指望夫妻的功能之一,就是老了一起作伴。
但根據社會心理分析,這個迷思與事實相去甚遠,配偶不見得是最好的人生伴侶,如果一廂情願把配偶當成理想的老伴,恐怕會失望,很多性格不相投的夫妻,愈老愈不肯妥協,貌伴合神離,相敬如冰,退休後分床、分房、分居、分手的例子,比比皆是。
資深兩性專欄作家薇薇夫人毫不隱諱指出,「寄望婚姻(配偶)能解除寂寞,基本上是神話。」
現實中看到很多夫妻「你走你的陽關道,我過我的獨木橋」,幾乎沒有任何交集,她的一些朋友有時不能把心事告訴配偶,卻能對好朋友暢所欲言。
屏東科技大學社工系講師廖紀華也主張,老伴不是只有「另外一半」,一旦把全部的指望都放在配偶身上,期待對方陪伴度過晚年生活,這是把生命窄化,而且對彼此的壓力都太沈重……
尤其萬一有一半先走了,另一半則是難以承受之痛……
「夫妻關係太黏膩、太依賴,對生死就不容易看得透。」她善意提醒。
廖紀華舉自己的公婆為例,兩位長輩感情甚篤,在同一個學校教書,數十年來都是同進同出,從無例外。
前一陣子,76歲的公公竟然鼓勵婆婆跟著兒子去自助旅行,這是兩個人第一次長期分開,雙方都很不捨,但公公對家人說,「她也應該學習不要再這麼黏我了!」
經常受邀參與社區老人議題講座的廖紀華觀察,在絕大多數社福團體、醫療機構服務的志工,80%都是女性,年長男性反而不願意走出來,「家庭角色互換,女性退休後跑出來,男性則大多窩在家裡,只會打電話問老婆『什麼時候回家煮飯』。
老人學專家、世新大學社會心理系教授邱天助指出,幸福的退休生活至少包括6個面向,健康、感情、學習、工作、信仰(精神),以及社交活動。社會支持網絡代表與他人的連結度,找對老伴不但可以提升生命品質,還能改善健康與壽命。
美國密西根大學心理系曾追蹤100名退休族4年後的生活狀況,其中對生活最感滿意的退休族,平均有16名可以依賴的朋友或熟人;不滿意退休生活的,則只有不到10個朋友。
研究人員因此得到一個重要結論:團體和情感方面的支援,是左右退休快樂與否的重要因素,影響程度更勝於金錢。即使保持單身,但有很多親近的朋友、家人、鄰居,參加有意義的組織,照樣可以擴大生活圈,享受精彩的老年生活。
加州大學河濱分校教授傅利曼(Howard S. Friedman)在《他們為什麼活到99》書中指出,擁有滿意的社會關係與豐富的社交生活比較快樂。他並且提出一個自我檢測量表,列舉10個評估項目,譬如是否常和朋友一起做什麼事、每個月見幾次面、熱心助人等等。
老年最害怕自己一無所有,會恐慌、沒有安全感,愈早計劃,就能愈早瞭解還有哪些不足、哪些已經很豐富。
因為沒有同伴,生活不知如何打發,足不出戶、唉聲嘆氣的長輩比比皆是,「『老年自閉症』或『老年憂鬱症』比『老年癡呆症』更教人憂心。」找伴是退休族一個重要的人生功課,絕不容輕忽。
但老伴不會自動掉下來,而是用心經營的結果,更不能一廂情願以為船到橋頭自然直,一定要提早開始「收編」,中年就要考慮累積下一階段的人際資源。
廖紀華常聽到很多人開口閉口說「隨緣」,在她看來則是「偷懶」的藉口,朋友之間一定要花時間維繫,否則關係就會疏遠,「不要以前忙著工作,忘了交好朋友,等到老了再交,別人也會挑(剔)你。」
正如同年輕的時候會為「往上爬」做準備,過了中年以後,不管40歲、50歲,就要開始為「往下走」做計劃,一定要知道如何下山,才能順利地從山頂回到出發的原點。
總之,「沒有朋友的人最貧窮。」
「老伴」可提高幸福指數,全看你如何安排生活,全看你有沒有成熟的心理。喜歡就值得去做,別忘了,這輩子就只這一次
感謝 老朋友 。

Thanks for these tips.

Thanks for another excellent article. Where else could anybody get that kind of information in such a perfect way of writing? I’ve a presentation next week, and I’m on the look for such info.
Thanks for the ideas shared in your blog. Something else I would like to state is that weight-loss is not information on going on a celebrity diet and trying to shed as much weight as you can in a set period of time. The most effective way to shed weight is by consuming it slowly and gradually and obeying some basic points which can assist you to make the most out of your attempt to shed pounds.

I’m so happy to read this. This is the type of manual that needs to be given and not the accidental misinformation that is at the other blogs. Appreciate your sharing this best doc.
I’ve learned some new things through your blog post. One more thing to I have discovered is that typically, FSBO sellers may reject you. Remember, they would prefer to never use your services. But if you actually maintain a comfortable, professional romance, offering help and keeping contact for four to five weeks, you will usually have the ability to win interviews. From there, a listing follows. Many thanks
With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement? My blog has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do you know any techniques to help prevent content from being stolen? I’d certainly appreciate it.
Thanks for the suggestions you have provided here. Something important I would like to express is that laptop memory needs generally rise along with other innovations in the technological know-how. For instance, when new generations of processor chips are brought to the market, there is usually a matching increase in the type preferences of all computer memory plus hard drive room. This is because the application operated by means of these processor chips will inevitably boost in power to benefit from the new engineering.
One thing is that when you’re searching for a education loan you may find that you’ll want a cosigner. There are many situations where this is true because you will find that you do not use a past credit standing so the loan company will require that you’ve someone cosign the loan for you. Great post.
Magnificent beat ! I wish to apprentice whilst you amend your web site, how can i subscribe for a blog site? The account helped me a acceptable deal. I have been a little bit acquainted of this your broadcast provided shiny clear concept
Thanks for the auspicious writeup. It actually was a amusement account it. Glance complicated to more introduced agreeable from you! However, how could we keep up a correspondence?

Great delivery. Great arguments. Keep up the great work.
Hi, Neat post. There’s a problem with your site in internet explorer, would check this? IE still is the market leader and a huge portion of people will miss your great writing because of this problem.
I have observed that over the course of constructing a relationship with real estate owners, you’ll be able to come to understand that, in every single real estate deal, a percentage is paid. Finally, FSBO sellers do not “save” the commission rate. Rather, they fight to earn the commission by way of doing a good agent’s job. In doing this, they shell out their money in addition to time to execute, as best they could, the duties of an agent. Those assignments include uncovering the home through marketing, showing the home to prospective buyers, constructing a sense of buyer desperation in order to trigger an offer, preparing home inspections, dealing with qualification investigations with the loan provider, supervising repairs, and aiding the closing.
One other issue is when you are in a scenario where you don’t have a cosigner then you may want to try to make use of all of your financing options. You will discover many awards and other free college funding that will offer you funds that can help with education expenses. Thanks for the post.
I really like your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you make this website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you? Plz answer back as I’m looking to create my own blog and would like to know where u got this from. appreciate it

I also believe that mesothelioma is a unusual form of many forms of cancer that is often found in people previously familiar with asbestos. Cancerous cells form from the mesothelium, which is a protecting lining that covers almost all of the body’s bodily organs. These cells generally form inside the lining of the lungs, abdominal area, or the sac which actually encircles the heart. Thanks for expressing your ideas.
