Your friends are poor judges of character.
You know what you can be proud of having chosen as a spouse. Your choice was an excellent one.
I’m afraid I gave the wrong impression. I did not date this msn forty years ago and then break up with him and marry someone else. I got married, was divorced many years later, and dated the rich lawyer about (?) eight or ten years ago. I have not remarried, but this seems to be God’s will and I am trying with some difficulty to thank Him for it.
I will say this for the lawyer: his only child was adopted so he did not go through the usual process of fatherhood. When his daughter gave birth about six or eight years ago it seems to have hit him hard. Maybe on seeing the development of that perfect new life he had to reassess.
But he’s still an old-fashioned Democrat. I could never. Having dinner and going to the theater is one thing but giving up your principles to get along with a rich husband, however sweet, is prostitution.
