After being married for 40 years, an elderly couple decided to divorce. They went to a lawyer to make it official. The lawyer was surprised but listened to their story. They had been arguing for the entire 40 years of their marriage.
They stayed together for the sake of their kids, but now that their kids were grown up, they felt it was time to part ways. They wanted to live without the sadness that filled their marriage.
As they signed the divorce papers, the wife said she loved her husband but couldn’t continue. The husband understood. The lawyer invited them to dinner, hoping they could work things out. But during dinner, they couldn’t talk without arguing.
The wife complained that her husband never cared about her feelings, even though he thought he was doing his best to please her. That night, they couldn’t sleep, both filled with regret.
The husband wanted to call his wife to tell her he still loved her, but she didn’t answer. She was also upset, feeling like he never understood her.
The next day, she found out he had died from a heart attack. He had tried to reach her but couldn’t. She felt devastated, but while going through his things, she found an insurance policy. It was a small amount, but he had left it for her, showing his love even after his death.
The wife cried a lot, realizing how much her husband loved her. She learned that expressing love is important because you never know what might happen. She wished they had appreciated each other more during their marriage.
