The U50 lawyer left his hometown to fall in love with a 104-year-old woman, an ending that made everyone sad

During the past 11 years, the romantic love story between lawyer Mart Soeson, 48 years old, and Mrs. Elfriede Riit, 104 years old, has attracted a lot of public attention, causing a lot of admiration but also causing a lot of controversy.

It is known that Mr. Mart Soeson met his 56-year-old girlfriend in 1996. At that time, the male lawyer went to Australia to study English. At that time, Elfriede Riit invited Mart to stay at her apartment.

After studying English in Australia, Mart returned to Estonia to work. However, he continuously returned to Australia to meet Ms. Elfriede Riit. The emotional relationship between the two people is increasingly close.

"When I returned to Estonia, I couldn't escape the feeling that something was missing in my life, perhaps it was Elfriede Riit. We had many things in common and many reasons to spend time together," Mart shared. shall.

After trips to Australia in 2002 and 2007, Mart felt that their love was even stronger. "I thoroughly enjoyed my trips to Australia. When I saw her, I felt lighter and happier in life," the Estonian male lawyer confided.

In 2013, Ms. Elfriede Riit turned 92 years old, Mr. Soeson was 37 years old, and the two officially started dating. In September 2018, Mr Soeson gave up his legal career in Estonia and moved to Australia to live with Ms Riit in Bankstown. At the time the couple got together, Ms. Riit was 98 years old and Mr. Soeson was 43 years old.

"Elfriede Riit loves me and I have the same feelings for her," Mart shared.

They lived together until the old woman had to move into a nursing home in 2022 at the doctor's request because of her poor health.

Although the two cannot live together, Mart still has love for his older girlfriend. He often goes to the nursing home to visit Elfriede Riit, bringing her favorite dishes. Occasionally, the couple spends time going to concerts, movies, drinking coffee or seeing a doctor to monitor their health.

Sharing about her feelings for Mart, Ms. Elfriede Riit once confided: "By January 2013, I realized that my feelings for Mart had gone beyond friendship. I love him and that's what need to be public. I'm alone, want a partner who cares, accompanies me when I'm happy, and helps me through difficult situations. I know I can find that at Mart."

In 2018, Mart Soeson began applying for a long-term residence visa in Australia. In the documents sent to the authorities, Ms. Elfriede Riit is her partner. However, this is met with skepticism about true feelings.

In December 2018, Mart's residence visa application was rejected by Australian authorities. After that, this man filed a lawsuit with the local Administrative Court.

Australian authorities argued that they did not accept that the emotional commitment between the two people was real. Mr. Mart was required to prove that his feelings for the older woman were real.

At the trial in February, Mr. Mart had to answer questions for 3 hours about the marriage between the two people. He admitted that the two did not sleep together and had never had sex. However, the age difference between him and his girlfriend has nothing to do with the love the couple has for each other.

The couple did not sleep in the same room because Mrs. Elfriede Riit's loud snoring affected Mart. In addition, at night, the old lady often wakes up and screams due to nightmares.

Australian authorities have not yet issued a residence visa to Mart. Sharing after his girlfriend passed away, Mart said: "My duty is to stay by her side, bury her and fulfill her last wishes."

Currently, it is unclear how the 104-year-old woman's death may impact Mart's appeal. The next trial is expected to take place in May.
