“If you are afraid of loneliness, do not marry.”
— Anton Chekhov

Simplified Meaning:
Being married means sometimes you will feel alone, even if you are with someone. Marriage doesn't always make you feel less lonely; it can sometimes even make that feeling worse. For example, imagine being in a big crowd but still feeling like no one understands you; that can happen in marriage too. So, if you get married just to avoid feeling lonely, you might be disappointed. Marriage should be about love, partnership, and supporting each other, not just trying to escape loneliness. Make sure you are marrying for the right reasons, and that you are comfortable with yourself first.
