Absolutely! We've been together for 20 years (this August) but only married for 2 1/2 years as it only became legal for us to marry in the past few years. We are together forever. My husband is the only person alive who even comes close to understanding who I am... and he still loves me despite that! :love:
Oh, I think there's a few of us on here that luv you, too.

I've known my husband for 26 years, married almost 24 (next month). I remember walking into a pub and he was the first person I noticed--luck or fate that I ended up knowing the guy he'd gone to the pub with? I would never have spoken to him otherwise. I love him and love our life & kids.

But here's the hard part: I don't believe in only one person for everyone (I know--how can a chick lit writer not believe in love at first sight, right? lol). I'm with him because I choose to be here, not because of destiny. Does that make sense?

Im so envious of you all. I guess all i can say is i don't know. I met my future wife on a trip to India, fell in love (i didn't believe in love on first sightthe but if it wasn't first it was very close. She said she loved me which i hardly could believe. I came back to sweden and fought a long battle with the migration board so could get permission to come to sewden. It took three years of lettters, discussions and interwievs with them to get that permission. She came here, we married and after just a year she died. We had really just started to get to know each other but i think we could have hit it off. Really miss her, haven't seen anyone since then.

I can't 'like' that, but know my heart hurts for you.

I am so sorry. This is so sad. May I ask how she died?

there's reason why i believe in reincarnation, but that's a much longer reply in a quite different thread...

I believe in soulmates but not just one, i believe in lessons but not just one. I think of lifetimes as a chess board... where we live our lives and learn our lessons with the same souls that we have lived and learned with before. We're all energy and when the vessel can no longer sustain us, that energy must go somewhere else.... maybe we've learned all we can learn and have evolved with the greatest capacity to love... and then we simply graduate. I guess some folks might call it heaven or nirvana.

but the important thing, the beautiful thing... is that we love. And sometimes we lose the ones we love far too early, and in those moments we are alone with our grief.... and we wonder how in the world we'll ever get through. What is the point, after all... to have to let go of a spouse, or lover.... or parents....or child.... to have to go through this painful anointment of both life and death? Because they're all our soulmates... and we, are there's. And from this we are each others best and sometimes, our worst. Our soulmates are what keep us tethered to the earth.

I woke up one day and she was lying there dead beside me. Something about the breathing stopped to work for some reason i didn't understand at the time. Still have nightmares about it sometimes.
I pressed that like button as support. Like doesn't seem proper. I wish we just had a "support" button.

Kurben, I'm so sorry. I'm about to write something that's the polar opposite. It'd odd to have that dichotomy, feeling the anguish of someone else while expressing your own joy. Please excuse me for this.

I met Grandma over forty years ago (I think I wrote about it in the Personal Stories thread). We've been married forty years as of last month. Through those four decades, with moves to other states, even another country, through friends lost and gained, through new careers, through beloved kids and grandkids, through innumerable changes, the one constant for me has been the bride of that wedding day forty years ago, the love of my life, always with me, side by side.

Hard to imagine life without her.
