A True Life Story of How Love Found Me When I Least Expected It. I am a middle-aged man with a handful of young children, and unfortunately, my wife was unfaithful. My wife and I went through a divorce and honestly believed that was the end of my love life. I shed many tears. I really didn’t feel like doing anything. Encourage myself to try and stay strong for my children. I wondered, “Who would be interested in a 40-year-old man with three children to take care of and limited finances (divorce can deplete your savings fast)?”
During the divorce proceedings, a coworker introduced me to one of her colleagues. She was an extremely attractive woman, who happened to be single and blonde. Surprisingly, she had chosen to avoid dating for nearly eight years. She was willing to give going out with me a chance because she trusted our mutual friend. We had a casual lunch gathering with around eight of our colleagues. We hit it off right away, so I decided to give her a call that same night. Let’s plan to meet up this Friday. We chatted every evening leading up to that date, and by the next time we met, it felt like we were already old friends.
As we patiently waited for our table, our lips met for the first time in the cosy ambience of the restaurant’s bar. By the end of the night, I confessed my love for her. She didn’t reciprocate, but she also didn’t flee. I had a feeling it was only a matter of time. We got engaged on the same day the judge signed the final divorce decree. It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost 19 years since we first met. Our marriage has been filled with so much happiness for the past 17 years.
From the depths of my darkest moments emerged the most incredible blessing I’ve ever experienced. I’m just so grateful for everything that’s happened in my life, even when things were tough. It all led me to where I needed to be. Love can sometimes fade away when a better love is on the horizon. Keep your spirits up. If you remain receptive, one day love will come your way.
