Data menunjukkan bahwa sekitar 15.1% penduduk Indonesia di atas usia 50 tahun mengalami kesepian.
Kesepian yang dialami oleh individu di usia dewasa atau matang (sering kali digambarkan dalam rentang usia 30 hingga 50 tahun ke atas) bukan terjadi tanpa sebab. Ada beberapa faktor struktural dan emosional yang melatarbelakanginya:
"I never married because I raised my siblings. Now they are gone. I go to the mall just so the salesgirls will talk to me. I joined a 'dating app' for the first time. The man asked me to send a 'video call' without clothes. I did it because I thought that's how modern romance works. He recorded it. I am now blackmailed. Do not judge me unless you have felt what I feel—a room so quiet you can hear the electricity."
A growing social topic within this group is the "Wife without Benefits." Some aunties are abandoning the search for a male partner entirely and are forming deep, committed platonic co-living arrangements with other women. They share rent, chores, and emotional support without the complexity of romance.
Balancing domestic management with professional life leaves little room for personal fulfillment.
