Love help: Beautiful story: Last night, I was at work. - Help.com

Awwww thats so cute!!
i know what you mean, i cant wait to wake up old beside the person I fall in love with.

That’s so refreshing. Yknow, most of the posts on this webssite are made by women being beaten by their boyfriends, or a man talking about how he just doesn’t feel attracted to his wife anymore, etc. And with 11% of the adult population divorced, and all those shows on tv with the dimwitted husband and nagging wife trading insults, it’s nice to see a couple who actually still care for one another.

Yes, next time my friend knocks at my door with a black eye and broken rib curtesy of the man she “loves”, and uses her judgement to say “yknow, maybe this isn’t okay.” I will tell her, with all conviction, “No! God sent you this man, and you will serve him in this life and onto the next!”
If God exists, he/she is the one who GAVE you judgement and free will, so fucken USE it!

and people like you make this website pointless cause the answer to everything is “look to god”.
i mean like wtf? how many times do i have to hear that? honestly, this website isnt for preaching. if the answer to everything is “look to god”, then everybody might as well stop posting anything on here.

oh yeah cause im a gay atheist im gonna burn in hell.

I dont know why religion is getting into this, were talking about a happy older couple and you talk about religion like its the only thing that matters
people in other religions find love too you know.

i know! yet another ruined post cause of a religious bigot shoving their beliefs down others throats. pisses me off.

Great story Loved it!!!

Atheist relationships are the best, cause they’re not scared of being kinky ;P

So, anyway. . . . great story. . .

that’s really sweet of him! and lol jesus murphy that was great!!!

bright? talking about intelligence? you dont even back up anything you say!
all your responses are less than fifteen words. you’re just a narrow minded bigot.

Everyone should stop disagreeing and start giving each other flowers. I know because Goddess told me so.

well there is nothing here to understand, its called belief, everyone has their own, leave it at that.
as for the love story, heres to hoping everyone here finds their own love some day :)

thank you jessie. this post was another on the brink of full-blown religious debate/insult-throwing.

Anon, please stop. Seriously.
I’m a chrstian too, but I don’t appreciate you giving us all a bad name. Yes, you should rely on God to help you find the right person (I did, and man, it worked!) But you really are doing more harm than good by acting the way you are. Please (In the name of God) stop.

I am a hopeless romantic, though dark at times, I base my pursuit of love and my image of holding love on the traditional fairytale knight. I believe strongly in chivalry, honesty, honor, and devotion. Frankly though I think I will much more enjoy the challenge of finding love than the reward for finding it, but this old man (he played two- no) he must be a long retired knight because I hope to have a love that is worth nothing less than all of my devotion. After all willpower is a knight’s true sword. Thought inspiring story, Jess, thanks, I hope my analogy makes more than a grain of sense. LONG LIVE LOVE

all I can say to that is “ WOW … That is the most romantic thing i’ve ever heard, I dont blame you for tearing up, cause i would have to DANG !!! that is a story for the history books.

glad you made this post

That’s a really nice story :)

I hope you do find love like that; I hope I do; I hope everyone does! With so many struggles in life it would just be so wonderful to have someone by your side for that long, I understand why he said “honored”. I would be too.

Truly touching story- or not touching, true love is more than touching (the moral, right?)

(sorry, I think I am soo clever sometimes)

what if you already found a love like that and lost it? Do you think its possible to find that kind of love again or will it never be the same. In other words do you think everybody only gets that one real eternal love once in a lifetime?

what if I pushed it away and didn’t mean to. In other words I could have had it but wasn’t smart enough to hold on to it

true love never ends. ever thought maybe theres someone even better out there waiting for you?

its been seven years since haven’t found it again, i hop your right

well good luck. =)

none the less thanks for the inspiring story jess, i think we all needed it

wow that deffinitly is a great story just shows that love is true and real and if you trust in yourself and other influences that i will neglect to mention due to the arguement caused from,(to each his/her own) these factors can lead you to find the love that you have been searching for and thanks for the inspiring story jessie:) made me smile, and as well as matthurts i too hope that everyone can find the right one!

If you could talk to that “old” man and ask him how they have made it so long or why, I can guarantee he would tell you that anything worth having takes hard work and dedication. He has spent all of those years devoting 100% of his life to that women and she has done the same for him. It is not that it is so hard to find that perfect love, it is hard to find someone we love more than ourself. Selfishness has ruined many things and long term relationships is just one of them. People have become so self centered that when we see something like that (Jessie’s story) we can’t help but get teary eyed. It is refreshing to see something “real”. Thanks Jessie.

actually thats really sad. its sad that we see an old couple and are like: thats true love, and thats all great.

everyones life should be like that! if our culture is falling apart so much that this is now rare, then i just get sad when i hear something like that.

That IS a Beautiful Story. Thank you for sharing it. Made me smile.

OK, so I know this doesnt have anything to do with the post itself, just some of the replies Ive read.

Some ‘Christians’ need to chill out and get a grip! Trust God and not yourself! That manure!!! You know what….I digress……Im putting that reply in my own post……..You are all welcome to check it out.

awwww i think i would have balled on the spot. haha. what a sweet old man. thank you for posting :O)

I don’t think buying flowers can guarentee that this old couple have had a perfect loving relationship

The majority of the athiests I know (or even agnostics like myself) come to their beliefs through reasoning and the actual experience of life, not because they are pissed off at people :/

Fairy tales are still fairy tales, whether they are told by nice people or shouted by aggressive morons.

Anyways, I think this post is wonderful. Thanks Jessie+ :)

That is a lovely story. I too recently was amazed by ‘long standing love’. I went up to see my grandparents, of whom have been married in excess of 50 years. My granddad is not very well, and my grandma supports and cares for him in a way of pure dedication, and even though he is ill, he is the same for her, and his only worry is her well being. It really is amazing to think they have been together that long, and cherish eachother so unconditionally, through good and bad. Thats not to say its been plain sailing all the way i’m sure!!!!

Once upon a time a beautiful woman wrote a beautiful story and they all lived happily ever after.

:)

just hearing it made me weep inside

huh?

thats what I’m sayin! …. huh?

Maybe I can clarify my meaning a little.

I have been having a very difficult time communicating with people around me recently so when I read something that is inspiringly powerful perhaps beyond what I might have felt if I were the salesperson who met the old man, I was trying to grasp why your message spoke so clearly. Because I’d rather not have people just say “huh?” in response to my attempted communications, I’d rather try to be inspired by clear examples.

obviously I didn’t get very far.

And to Michael. Lo siento for the huh’s. I just couldn’t see what you were getting at.

Perhaps I can imagine a story that goes along the lines of … “Once upon a time a helpful person told a helpful story and they all lived happily every after.”

I’ll grant that some of the details are missing in the middle chapters but it’s just a rough draft.

^- That could be an interesting story, most stories have at least some kind of conflict that needs to be resolved and that usually seems to be the focus, but if you write it like that, then you have something kind and frothy.

i like stories like that.
not enough love in this world!

He totally cheated on her with a sexy young 65 year old & was making up for it with roses… lol I’m just kidding of course! That is such a cute story. Old couples like that give me hope!

:) People like that come into my work too. Of course, it’s always entirely amusing when they start to sarcasticly, flirtatiously argue, as well. ;) I love old couples. *Ahh*

It was just sweet. k? It didnt have to show that that had “a perfect loving relationship.” But it showed that even after so long, he was dedicated and in love. Just his response showed that…not the flowers.

Sorry to disagree with both of you, but Ill follow the train here and look too deeply into this. 52 years is a long time to be alive, much less married to the same person. Any relationship that is going strong after this many years, there can be no other explanation other a ‘perfect loving relationship.’ By the law of averages, and the time frame in which they lived, they had to have experienced some pretty rough times in thier lives. And they are still together. Thats passion, thats love.

I should add compassion, compromise and empathy. But Yes Jessie, It does provide much needed hope for us! :-) I love that you shared it with us! Thank You.

Great story, although when I see that type of love unfortunately for me it gives me hope. Hope to me is like a great big balloon, it fills me up like a great big breathe, and then I exhale and realized the reality of things. Its great to know that he hasn’t forgotten what he has, and she is surely deserving of someone so great.

I love checking updates of this post to find the same positive energy still flowing from your story; it makes me smile to see a notice on this post.

It’s kind of like one would never want such positive energy to ever end.

-and to continue posting in the positive spirit of the posts beginning nearly two weeks later. ^_^

-this positive energy needs to expand into everyday lives not just the comfort of the internet, for there to be more like-posts there need to be more like-experiences to tell about, so am I saying to go grow old loving someone right now? Well, not so much, just keeping the optimism and enthusiasm of your internet life to your “walking life” and conversing openly and harmoniously with strangers and friends alike.

Whatever happened to Jessie+ ? It’s like I bump into these people who say “hi, welcome to a place” and then they vanish. Hopefully they’re all happy somewhere.

Leibs: Not sure, maybe she just didn’t announce her enlightenment when she left the site. OR perhaps she just went on a break. I liked the positivity she brought to the site, I may not be leaving myself if here were more Jessies.

Your right that is beautiful. What a lucky couple, thanks for sharing.

Good to hear about the old man still loving his wife so much.I am one such individual in my thirtees. Wish to be in touch with you!
