Maria Veitola visits Maria Veitola in Yökylä writer and actor in the show Anna-Leena Härkönen by. The episode is already available to watch on the MTV Katsomo+ service.
In the episode, Veitola also tells Härkönen about the relationships in her life. He has been married three times during his life. Today, Härkönen is in a relationship Weird with the well-known entrepreneur Olli Keskinen.
Härkönen admits to Veitola that he had already had time to think that he would no longer worry about anyone in his life.
– If there are three long alliances, it already seemed somehow that you can’t fight at all anymore. You can no longer get to know a new person, and you can no longer mentally bear the fact that someone else has power over you.
– In a relationship, if you start to love someone, then he has the power to hurt you. If you are somehow dependent on him, Härkönen ponders.
Härkönen tells Veitola the teachings of his previous alliances. He says, among other things, that in his first relationship, he might not have known how to apologize or accept himself. From his second marriage, he mentions that he learned, among other things, that it is worth having children.
Härkönen has one, grown-up son Lauri.
In addition, he says that he has learned, for example, that you cannot, for example, force someone to open up if the other party is not ready for it. Relationships also have unpleasant sides, but too much is too much.
– I learned that it also has its limits, how much you can pay and what kind of prices. I am no longer ready to pay the hellish anxiety that comes from constant arguments and power struggles.
– Now, after all the experiences, I would probably give up more easily, also in relation to other relationships than couples. I’d go for a walk earlier if it seems like it.

Härkönen has stated that he no longer wants to live with anyone. In his current relationship, therefore, there is no moving in together.
– I need my own space so that no one interrupts my thoughts. I think everyone should have their own homes if there are no children together. And what the heck, someone else’s stuff sucks if they’re ugly, for example, Härkönen laughs.
Härkönen and Keskinen met through a mutual friend. They got to know each other better at a dinner organized at Keskinen’s:
– Did this mutual friend think that you could be a match? Had he messed this up? Veitola inquires.
– He was a bit of a pimp. He was shocked, Härkönen admits.
Härkönen says that dating is different in your 60s than in your twenties.
– In a way, but yes, it might be just as exciting to meet someone else. Falling in love is always wonderful.
– But don’t expect anything. Not waiting for someone else to make me happy and solve all my problems. Realize that one person is not the answer to all needs, Härkönen reflects.

– You should leave there early, because it gets pretty brutal, advises Härkönen.
– I went there for the first time when I was single. I was like Lisa in Wonderland, that wow, people really have a twinkle in their eye here, says Härkönen about his experience.
There is also a flip side to this. Härkönen tells about an encounter from last summer.
– A significantly younger man came to me to say, hey, I’ve seen you somewhere, for us or for you. I said we’re moving too fast now. Not going anywhere yet. Did I say something aunty, that the evening is still young, Härkönen laughs.
