This is obviously not true because the dress would not just fit out of a box. I know this because I tried on 3348558 dresses last weekend and only 1 fit.
When you've been with someone long enough, they know your size.
Guess what! I am ME. I know my size. Every one of the 3348558 dresses was my size. You don't make sense. Plus lots of dresses need a certain bra or no bra. Anything where the man gives a woman a dress and it fits is fiction. Lovely fiction, but still.
You're fat. Everything looks good on a proportionate, slender woman. (I'm a woman who vaguely meets that criteria and while I don't live all dresses I try on I'm sure I could get away with most of them )

God I hate DC. Or maybe just DCUM. Whatever. This whole thread is misogynistic and sad.

barf he bought you like a hooker
No, not at all. We dated for years before he had let on he was wealthy. I assume to make sure it wasn't about the money...and it wasn't. But if it makes you feel better to say so. That's quite OK.
For years? Pretty desperate of you.
It's desperate to wait? If she had said less than a year you would have said it was too quick and did it for the $$. For some of you there is no winning.
Yes. It means you know you have no value to anyone else, so you keep hanging on and waiting. And waiting. And waiting.
I'm sorry if that has happened to you PP. I actually had to finish my PHD out of state so we were long distance for a while but I feel like people keep digging for more details. No amount of explaining will change people's minds and that's OK. I've shared my experience - take it or leave it.

DH sat me down and explained the importance of the Bush tax cuts to our family's situation. He convinced me to become a Republican that night!

Yeah, I'm sure that was it. Nobody waits to get married around here.

I found out after approximately 5 years of marriage. I married young (23), was in love. He is not reach by DC standards, but very well of. Coming from the family of professor and nurse, there were no family wealth. Had government job after college, but spent money wisely and invested well. When dated, never was good with gifts (back then I thought he was just cheap, but now I know he just doesn't know how to choose gifts).

I don't even think this troll is a woman. It sounds like some cheesy fiction a guy would write. Let me guess the dock was strewn with rose petals too.
