Yes, I met the love of my life when we were both aged 62. I was married before, I loved him until he died aged 58, but this is different. At age 62 I was like a lovesick teenager. 'You fly down the street with wings on your heels...' yes, it was really like that.

I don't agree that unconditional love is only for parents and children. DH is the only person in the world that I love unconditionally. I trust him with my life - well, I've done that on more than one occasion. I fell in love with him straight away, he took a little longer because he's cautious by nature and had been hurt in 2 previous marriages, but I couldn't be loved more now.

You have to be open to opportunity though, to be able to stretch out your hand as that 'elusive butterfly' floats by. Too many people have the outlook 'oh no, I couldn't...' and consequently it passes them by and they never know what they might have had, what they've lost.

Yes and we have been married for over 30 years. We both knew almost immediately that the other was "the one" and we got married 5 months after meeting although we did see each other every day until the wedding.

Of course we have had ups and downs, good and bad times but the good outweighs the bad. Even after all these years he never fails to make me laugh, cheers me up when feeling down (I suffer from depression) and still makes my heart beat faster. Even if we have a row neither can stay angry with the other for more than about 10 minutes and we just both end up laughing.

He is my best friend (I would rather spend time with him than anyone else), I never get bored of talking to him. I also trust him totally and would not have married him if I had not known I could

Aww Margaret you're soo right hun.I nearly missed out on meeting my OH as I thought I was too old for him, plus I was seeing Mr Boring at the time.He asked me out 9 times till I said yea, and we both knew within 5 mins of meeting each other things were amazing:D:DI went on hols for 2 weeks the day after our first date, and spent nearly all hols on the phone to him and pining, it was pathetic really:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

For those of you who have found the loves of your lives - you are so lucky and I am happy for you .

I "met" my soulmate even though I never actually met him. I have had toxic relationships before and since "meeting" this guy so still looking for my Mr Right!

An acquaintance gave me his telephone number a few years ago for an arranged marriage type scenario and we got talking and I knew from that first converstation that he was the one and I know he felt the same - we talked every day for 2 weeks and just when I was about to suggest meeting, his family decided that we weren't right for each other as I was slightly older than him as that wasn't the done thing in our culture - so we never did get to meet as he didn't want to go against his family.

So that was that.

I'm still hopeful that I will meet someone honest, genuine and respectful - but not having much luck at the moment.

I met the love of my life almost 2 years ago, when my marriage broke down and I was not looking for love.
Along came one of the most thoughtful and loving person I have ever met. Everyday he is happy and makes me smile. He has taken on a divorcee and her 2 darling kids (10 and 7) and treats them as his own. My DD has even said to him that he is like a dad to her.
This week I am working and he is at home with them.
I was worried that divorce would have affected my children and all the changes, but things have worked out much better for my kids than they were before.

This post has really cheered me up. I've been left on my own with two children of 6 and 9, and have been sat thinking that no-one will want to take me on because ex has little input so they are with me almost all of the time. Maybe one day things might be different.

My 24 year old daughter is with a man who is less than wonderful. She says that not everyone meets the love of their life and she can't see herself ever leaving him because he is all she has. Suppose she left him and then didn't meet anyone else. I say she won't meet anyone better until she leaves him but she is frightened of being alone.

He certainly leaves a lot to be desired.

I had 8 children and my lovely OH took them on and me and we are expecting our second. The oldest 2 don't go to their dads at all the next 3 go every other weekend ad the youngest 3 go every other weekend and 1 or 2 days in between for tea.. it is rarely just the 3 of us. You will find someone

Thank you so much. That's really kind and it's lovely to hear positive stories like yours. I really love being around people and would hate to think there will only ever be 3 of us.
