We'll always be here for you, Kurben. Thank you for sharing that tragic part of your life with us. Know that you're amongst friends. Stay strong.I can feel the support from you and all the others. Thank you all for caring.
I'm so sorry for your loss (((Kurben))).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.
That's awful. I'm so sorry. But I'm glad you got to know and love her for any length of time.Im so envious of you all. I guess all i can say is i don't know.

I don't know about soul mates but my husband and I are incredibly in love and we've made a choice to stay that way. We went through some rough times and we decided to do everything we could to stick it out and we've been even more in love since then. He's my best friend.
23 years later, we're still great, fantastic friends. I still think he's hot. I clearly have him wrapped around my finger. We're good about giving each other lots of personal space - very important to both of us. It may look a little crazy from the outside, but it works for us.
Yep! And I couldn't agree with you more about personal space. I seriously think that's what makes marriage work!This is exactly what I meant! Grown up love is so much better than fantasy.

This is a sad and wonderful story!I dated my now husband when my children were very young. We had broken up and I married someone else who was hit and killed by a truck. A few years after being alone with my last child yet living at home. My husband now shows up out of the blue and asks me to marry him. LOL that took me by surprise. So my child call it a fairy tale romance. we have been married 10 years and adopted a son together.
Ha - yes, I spent the first 7 years thinking I'd definitely done something wrong - I was such a wild thing then. I'm surprised he put up with me.Every decent marriage that I can think of has those rough patches (roughly at 7 yrs, 15 yrs, 25 yrs for a lot of people I know), when you're reminded that 'love' is an action verb. It's a choice to act 'love' sometimes, until you feel it again.
Love at first sight...nah. My thought is that to love someone you have to trust them, and to trust them you have to know them. That takes time.
So sad about your first husband, so romantic about your husband. This would make some good chic lit - a tear jerker with a happy ending.I dated my now husband when my children were very young.

I'm inclined to agree with most of this, except the love at first sight. I saw my husband from behind for the first time and immediately knew I was going to marry him. It was strange.Every decent marriage that I can think of has those rough patches (roughly at 7 yrs, 15 yrs, 25 yrs for a lot of people I know), when you're reminded that 'love' is an action verb.

I read that as you saw your husband's behind.......
