    I was a new mom at 30 and divorced at 31 swore I would never marry again until this kind gentle sweet man came along and I said lord if he’s the one you better give me a sign a big sign and I got sick this man took the best care of me and my daughter and never left our side I thought if he stuck around for all that he’s definitely a keeper. I was 40 and he was 45 and we’ve been married for 18 years. Happy anniversary to you and Howard .

    I had just turned 60 when I finally met the man I was always supposed to be with. He is 8 yrs. younger than me, but he put in his profile a range of 45-60. Lucky me! He also lived 53 miles away (in San Diego). I will be 75 next month and we've been married 10 yrs. Yes, it is hard, but very possible, at any age 🥰

    Like you we talked on the phone after texting for ages
    It tuck only two weeks before we got together for the first time!
    We have been together ever since!
    And it will last forever!!!
    Came to it with an open book nothing hidden!
    Scars and all!!!
    But we are still getting to know each other...
    Something different everyday!!!!
    And we keep the romance going!
    And try hard at it too!
    Surprises help!
    Kindness, honestly, sharing,
    And love. Lots and lots of love!!!

      My son met a “woman“ at his very large company’s Christmas Party. His two older brothers were also there - thus the description “ woman “.
      I was the one who urged him to go. He was not really interested in meeting anyone - too jaded from other girls and too shy. But he went.
      The “ woman “ and my son hit it off and after a couple of weeks, they started dating.
      He was 31 and she was 46. She has 2 younger children aged 8 and 10. And she also had an older daughter ( 21 ) from a first marriage.
      They have been together for over a year and are very happy.
      We, his parents, are also thrilled for them. The age difference means nothing to us. ♥️

    My husband and I have the kind of relationship you only dream of. We feel it was fate because of the circumstances under which we met. His friends and my friends were jealous because they could see we only had eyes for each other. His friends wanted him single because that way he could be there for them, not caring about his feelings. We laugh now because most of them are divorced and we're still going strong.

    I've had the extreme honor, and pleasure of watching you set down tender roots in L.A. again with a new vision, a dream, and a purpose for your life, both professionally, and personally. You tended to your roots, you began to grow, you flourished, you flowered, and you blossomed right before my very eyes, Monique! I was so thrilled for you as your career path allowed you to beautifully represent yourself as well as all of us gals as we discover, learn, and appreciate the love, beauty, and blessings of being over the age of fifty! I was absolutely tickled when it appeared that you found a new life partner who fell 'in like', and then 'in love' with you, who respected you, who was kind, conscientious, and incredibly loyal, and who was willing to work just as hard at building, and maintaining a strong, happy, and understanding relationship with you! Howard appeared to be supportive, committed, and passionate, and I suspect he is absolutely 'your soft place to fall', Monique! I am so happy for you, Beautiful! I, too, found my 'soft place to fall', and in July, we have been together for twenty-four years! Over the years we have gone through so many significant life challenges together, yet we've come through the other side even stronger, wiser, and more committed to each other! I wish that for the two of you too, Sweetheart! Enjoy the celebration of the third year of your wonderful love story, Monique, and thanks so very much for sharing it with us today! Happy Anniversary, guys! Love, and hugs, always, Monique, Sherrey 🎉🎆💗🥂💗🎆🎉

    Ha! I’m 74 and was married for 24 years. He left me 35 years ago. It took me a few years to get over it all but then I tried dating. Nothing bad happened but nothing good either. Then I met the love of my life: my granddaughter, Karma Delilah! I became very involved with caring for her because her mom, my daughter had to work since she is a widow. I realized somewhere along the way that I had trusted my husband so much and he was my best friend and yet I had been deceived. I just didn’t want to ... actually I just could NOT ... trust again. Didn’t want to put myself out there. So I’m single and fine!

    Not sure where you're at with menopause, but can you share what impact it has on a new love relationship? Meeting someone and shortly after, going through menopause, I can't imagine it, and no one talks about it. Menopause is such a big deal and such a big taboo at the same time.
    I see so many women dumped around menopause, or, if single, unable to find a lasting partner. Your story is truly inspirational.

      I completely understand you, Maria!
      And let me tell you that there is really a way.... and it is actually very simple... I have found and proved it myself... to not only avoid all those problems from "menopause", but to actually avoid this thing at all!!! As incredible as it sounds... it is truly totally possible! It takes much discipline, though, and a strong will... a real desire and determination to change things, because even though the method is very simple, it is hard to put it in practice, as it involves a TOTAL CHANGE OF LIFESTYLE. Yet, the final outcome is SOOOO IMMENSELY REWARDING!!!! SO MAGNIFICENT THAT WOU WILL NEVER REGRET ALL THE HARD WORK!!
      I can only encourage everyone to give it a try and see the magic for themselves! ✨🤩✨
      I have understood and realised by personal experience that menopause is not something we are subjected to and cannot escape... same as ageing!!! It is all like any other disease... it is just the body suffering a malfunction and it can totally be healed and reversed! How? It is actually EXTREMELY SIMPLE. The truth is very simple. The simpler something is, the truer. It has all to do with the purification of the body by simply stopping all our actions that contaminate it. I have found tricks to make this easier too and to get to a very pure state very fast. I share all of it for free on my youtube channel. Coming to this knowledge has been the biggest revelation and success in my life. It's all through personal experiencing, testing things for many years by myself, on my own body and observing... learning from all the changes taking place in my whole being... not just on a physical level, but also on all other levels... encompassing the WHOLE of me, which includes my reality as well... the story I live and keep creating/manifesting in my own life... this has been a total game changer for me AT ALL LEVELS!! And I am very happy to share and inspire others, because I see no "others", but extensions of me.... we are all in this together... we all share the same soul/energy on a deep level... at our core.
      I have seen not only women healing and reversing "menopause" and "ageing", but so many other diseases, as well as men and children, animals, etc. Seeing these "miracles" unfold, how others who apply the same principles I do, go through the same experience of reversing problems and awakening to more truth about themselves - A SELF DISCOVERY - has been so incredibly inspiring for me to keep on going with my discoveries and continue sharing them as best as I can with the whole world! ✨💝🌟 ✨💝🌟 ✨💝🌟 ✨💝🌟✨

Or maybe he doesn’t have close friends and doesn’t want to admit that to you...or is using the “I gave up my friends for you“ as a way to manipulate you. Just be careful out there! I hope I’m wrong!! You’re a beautiful person inside and out and deserve only the best.

      I agree about the red flags. If friends are not willing to meet the lady of a 3 year relationship, what is the exact reason? It would only think this makes sense if there is a "hidden life". If you know what I mean. I hope I am wrong.

    I've heard alot of relationship stories but I have never heard of losing friends over a girlfriend they have never met. Sounds like there is a missing piece to the story. Friendships are hard to come by too.

    • @kathygreen8398
      @kathygreen8398 4 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      Biggest question, was it female or male friends who disagreed with the new relationship? In my instance they were female friends who wanted my man to remain single, otherwise it changed the dynamics of the group for him to be married. Thank goodness my man could see through the manipulation. It's been 34 yrs and we have the kind of relationship you only dream of best friends, best lovers and best soulmates.

    Aww! Monique...that was such a Beautiful Love Story to hear! Thank you so much for sharing that with us! How Incredible, that just as you're talking about the love of your life, a heart out of nowhere appears in the sky! Just Amazing!
    Everyone who's been following you for sometime obviously knows what a Wonderful man Howard is. When you spoke of how he sweetly wet a cloth, lifted your hair & gently cooled your overheated neck, & then lovingly blew on the nape of your neck to further cool you.... Girlfriend, I think Every Single Woman watching this video collectively sighed at the same time, and thought...Now That Is a Man for Keeps!!!
    I think exactly the way you started your relationship, & how it progressed, was absolutely perfect! I think if more people took the time to "take it slow", there would be more Real heart connections. I'm so happy for you both! I can really sense your joy & contentedness. You have your perfect man, & now your perfect dream home that you are creating together.... What more could anyone ask for. Bless you both.
    I was awfully shocked to hear how Howard's "friends" treated him in regards to dating you! What kind of "friends" think they have the right to tell a grown man how to run his life!? Just Unbelieveable! Well, as they say... Often things happen for a reason, & it's obvious these people weren't Really TRUE friends, so it's for the best that he cut them loose. Sounds like He was way too good for them! It's obvious Howard is a down to earth, & heartfelt man, the former "friends" sound all "hoity- toity." He made the right decision by choosing Wonderful YOU!!!
    Have an Incredible & Awesome 3rd Anniversary get-away, falling in love all over again, back in the place where it all began. 💞 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨💗💞

    Hidden agendas are the pits. Love makes everything worthwhile, and is the only thing that grows, the more you give away. I wish you the best. I found the love of my life when I was 47 and he was 56 and married a while later. If only he had come along in my 20’s. Sigh. So, you’re right. Putting conditions on a relationship limits you a LOT.

That's all I would want. Also I find very sad the behaviour his friends had towards Howard and towards you. I mean they don't even know you, and there is too much judgment in this world I think.
