[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think part of her wasn't super into being married. Like if she were living in 2026 she'd be single or a serial monogamous. Even if subconsciously, she wasn't putting out marriage vibes.[/quote]
+1 And later it’s revealed in a conversation with an old friend that she had already been married and divorced before we meet her in the show.[/quote]

This explains all you need to know.

Previous marriage + birth control = doesn't need to marry again unless wants to[/quote]

She was married and divorced? I don’t remember that story point at all. The truth is, Joan felt time ticking and that her window of opportunity was closing and  that’s why she married greg. She wanted to land someone with status bc yes, she was a working girl and *thought* she wanted to live the lives of all the corporate wives she saw around her (her aspiration). It didn’t work out according to plan and she realizes she had to go get it for herself. Remember, after she got canned from McCann, she was only given a small portion of her stock as payout. She hoped  to live the life she aspired to but in the end realizes she doesn’t want a sugar daddy to provide it bc she finds meaning in work and wants to put her fate into her own hands. Roger was her one true love on the show, but she realizes with time, how unserious of a fop he was. She could never truly respect him again after choosing and marrying Jane (what she was waiting for years to happen to her). Roger was unwilling to marry an equal; this is why he chose Jane.
