A young woman has taken to the social media platform X to share a touching story about how her mother met and married her father 38 years ago.
She shared the story while contributing to a thread on how people’s parents met each other.
According to her, her mum was a widow from an abusive marriage and had a five-year-old son.
Her dad at the time was in his 40s and was keen on never getting married, stating he would only concede to marriage if the woman was a widow or divorcee.
She said an aunt who badly wanted her father to get married introduced him to her mum and they have since lived happily.
The X user said when asked why a widow, her father told her mum that being a widow wasn’t her fault and that she deserved happiness.
