A Sad Love Story that Began with a Lie

This is a sad love story about a young man and woman who once met at a party. The girl was quite beautiful, as every man wanted her. The man was an average guy that no one really paid much attention too. After the party was over he got up the courage to invite her for a cup of coffee. She accepted his invitation and together they went and sat down in a small coffee shop. He was very nervous and did not say much, which made her feel a little uncomfortable when the young man finally spoke and ask the waiter to bring him some salt. He then took the salt and poured some into his coffee.

Many people began to stare at what the young man had done. His face began to turn red, but he continued to pour the salt into his cup of coffee. The young woman then asked him why did you put salt in your coffee. He then went on to tell her that when he was a young boy he lived near the ocean and how he loved playing in the salty water. So each time he has coffee he puts salt in it and it reminds him of his childhood days of living near the ocean and how much he missed his home town and his late parents too.

After listening to his story her eyes began to fill with tears. She was so touched by his story that seemed to come deep from inside his heart. She though a man who can tell about his feelings of being home sick and his inner feelings about his late parents has the kind of compassion that she just admired very much.

As time went on they began to date and she discovered just how kind-hearted, warm, caring, and what a loving person he was. She loved his sweet love words and love phrases that he always said to her. She thought how she almost missed out on getting together with him if it was not for the salty coffee. This story then became like so many other stories. They would go on to marry and would live happily for many years to come. Every time she made him a cup of coffee she would put salt into it as she knew he would always want it that way.

Thirty years went on by and he passed away and he left her a letter that she would read. It said, My dearest wife, I hope you will forgive me as I once told you a lie. It was the only lie I ever told you. Do you recall the very first time we had met. I was quite nervous with you sitting with me at the coffee shop. I wanted some sugar but instead I said salt. It was a mistake and also it was hard for me to admit it, so I just went along with it and let you think I really wanted salt instead of sugar, I was too embarrassed to tell you that part. And now that I am dying I need to tell you about this sad romantic story. I really did not like salt in my coffee, but I had salt in my coffee ever since we had met and I always knew I would never have any regrets or feel sorry for what I had done. Having you as my wife gave me the greatest happiness I had ever experienced in my whole life.

If I was able to live even a little longer I would still use salt in my coffee a second time and I would continue to love you as my wife even if I had to live a life again with the lie of drinking coffee with salt added to it. Tears filled up in her eyes as she thought some day somewhere someone may ask her just what does coffee taste like with salt added into it. She knew just what she would say. She would simply reply, it is so sweet.

And that is the end of this heartrending love story.  I don't know who wrote this story. Please let me know the name of the author, if you know. As of now this story will be by an unknown author. I cannot believe the man took salt is his coffee for so many years! I can't believe he never fessed up about the lie. I guess that is love, but I think the salty coffee part is the saddest part of all. I think it is suppose to mean that love is when someone will do anything for you. What do you think?

Talk about family, kids, religion, politics, and money… I know they say you are not suppose to talk about these topics, but it is very important when you are spending the rest of your lives together. If you don’t share the same values, it can be very difficult to stay together. Make sure that you will have a wonderful love story that will last, not a sad love story.


Many people breakup, because they fight too much. Try to control your emotions and actions more. Yes, it is hard, but you do have self-control.

Trust That You Will Not Have a Sad Love Story

Trust your lover more. Tell your partner how you feel. When you hold things back, they may not trust you and it also means that you do not trust them. If you don’t have trust in a relationship, then it will fail. Open your heart all the way, don’t hold anything back. Don’t be afraid to love, because true love is worth it. If you get hurt, move on and love with all your heart some more. Believe in true love and know that you can have a happily ever after in your very own love story.

Another way to stop breaking up is by giving more compliments and respect. Everybody loves to hear sweet love phrases whispered in the ear. Giving someone a compliment, makes them more happy, which will make you more happy. Try to give your partner one truthful loving compliment everyday. Think about them more, ask them questions about their day, and really listen to them. Don’t make conversations all about you, all of the time. Look for ways to make them happy. Romance them, and wine and dine them more. You could even write some short love poems for them. Go ahead and give it a shot, it is always the thought that counts. Make your own love story last, don‘t make a sad love story.

You can stop breaking up. Believe in true love. Don’t settle for anybody less than the best. No one is perfect, but there is someone perfect for you. Keep searching. Stay positive and happy.

A Sad Love Story - The Breakup

A love story turns into a sad love story, when your heart breaks. Breaking up from someone you love is very difficult for everybody. What causes breakups? Is there any hope left for you two to get back together? What can you do to prevent future breakups? Do you believe in true love? Does it really exist? Read on to find out a few answers to these love aching questions.

When you first fall in love with someone, you think the two of you will be together forever. You know in your heart that you are suppose to be with them. You know that you will have a happy ever after, but then what happens? Your heart breaks as you watch the wonderful relationship get worse and worse. You watch as your love story crumples into a terribly sad love story. What happened?

What cause two people to break up? Two of the main reasons that many people breakup are because of lack of money, and because of lack of love. Money is very important, we all need it to survive. How people view money can lead to the breakup. Money is not evil, but the love of money is evil. Try to be more content with what you have. You certainly have more money then people living in third world countries. Changing your view of money is one way to keep the relationship together. Don’t spend more than you have and look for ways to romance each other for free, such as writing short love poems for each other. Who cares if they are cheesy. J The key to staying in love is to discuss how each of you view the future together. Work hard to stay in love and make your love life a love story, not a sad love story.

Your love story can be twisted into a sad love story quickly, if you loose the love. Unfortunately, many people stop loving each other. Now when you are in a marriage for years, people get busy. Kids, work, and life can get in the way of the two of you spending quality love time together. And one person may not want to make love as much as the other person, which causes the other person to feel unloved and neglected. It is very important to communicate once again. Communication is key. Talk to each other about how many times you each think that the two of you should be making love. Talk about it, so you know where the other person is coming from. Talk about it to make sure that you are not neglecting them.

When a person feels that they are not getting enough love at home, other people tempt them. And they may put other people out of their minds for years, but if they are neglected over and over again, then the temptation to feel love from someone else is very strong. So again communication is key to keeping your love life healthy, happy, and full of love. Don’t let your love life melt away into a sad love story. Keep the spice alive!

A Sad Love Story Fix?

How do you keep the spice alive? Besides staying in bed a little more, try to romance each other a little more. Think about all the things you use to do when you first started dating, but then you both got too busy, it is now time to take up those things again. Or think up some new hobbies you would both love to experience together. Learning new things can stir up some new passions for the hobby and for each other. Take each other out on dates. Just because you have been together forever, doesn’t mean that you stop liking dates. And it does not have to be expensive either. Go for a walk in the park with a picnic. Or cuddle up together and watch love movies. Give each other more compliments and whisper sweet love phrases into each other’s ears. And don’t forget to really listen to each other. Know that your sad love story can turn into a happy one!


Make your love last. You have to take control, don’t let it turn into a sad love story with a sad ending. Do you believe that true love exist? Since, there is such a high divorce rate, many people do not believe it does. And then there are people who don’t believe in true love, because they just haven’t met them yet. And unfortunately, many of these people settle with someone they do not really love. And then surprise, they breakup. However, that does not have to be how your love story ends. Choose to love your partner more. Don’t complain about your partner all the time, love them instead and watch them change too. People can change back into the person you first fell in love with. Believe in love and believe that you will have a happy ending, not a sad love story.

Breakups do happen. We have all experienced sad love stories at one time or another. However, before you breakup, make sure you have tried with all your heart to rekindle that love. Communicate more about making love and making money. And remember, money is not evil, the love of it is. Fight less and love more. Look for the good things in your partner, not the bad. Stay strong and stay in love. Know that your love life may be a sad love story now, but the two of you can have a bright future full of love.
