After that, he gave me some rides on his buggy, but he was going on rides with another girl too. I told him he had to choose one or the other, so he chose me. I think he liked that I had some backbone!
You did! And you sealed the deal before SD even became a state. Guess your future DH was rich by SD Territory standards. In any case you did great and just wait until your Ayn Rand-y daughter sells the rights to your story and capitalizes TF out of it. You won't see much of THAT, though.

I didn't love him but agreed to marry him once he promised to release me from our marriage if love didn't materialize. I fell in love with the architect who was building our country home (and was engaged to the daughter of my husband's cousin). My husband wouldn't let me out of our marriage so the architect and I planned to run away together. The day before he was hit and killed in a foggy London street. I still left my husband but we remained married for years. I lived by teaching music lessons. One day my husband's uncle saw me at the opera (ladies, go to the opera!). The uncle grew fonder of me than he had been previously and died shortly thereafter leaving me a part of his fortune. It was enough to make me an independent woman. My husband eventually divorced me (he wanted to remarry and have children). I married his cousin, the son of the uncle who left me money AND the father of the girl whose fiancé I had planned to elope with. What can I say, life and love are messy.

Her dh is a rich old man. She doesn’t have to worry. She dresses up in lace and goes in style.
I have this feeling, though, late at night the big old house gets lonely. And it’s a shame she gave her love to a man with hands as cold as ice.
I wonder if she ever thinks about a boy she knew in school.

I know you all say your DHs have a big stressful job, but trust me when I say mine was stressful. Sadly, things did not end well for me, but I remain an inspiration for many and proof that you don’t need a top 14 law school or vault-ranked firm to rise above humble beginnings and change people’s lives
As a DH marrying an old money DW, I’m like you. I’m a little older though.
I was basically an orphan from the islands. After moving to NYC, I practiced my writing and made an impression in local politics. Printed anonymously in the paper several times. As a soldier I met my wife’s family, and really rose to the top from there. Almost the top job, I know a lot of influential people. They’re always jealous/suspicious of me and trying to get me fired.
Didn’t you also have a thing with your wife’s sister?? It seems that it worked out for the best - you and the sister would have never been satisfied.

I met my beautiful wife in rehab. We connected over our shared substance abuse problems and fell head over heels in love. We were married at the ranch of her dear friend, Michael. It was a very simple wedding. We donated a lot of her money to charity. Unfortunately, the marriage didn’t last but I made out ok in the divorce. Things didn’t end well for me but I will always remember those magical years.
What is this one??
