I saw a clip on YouTube of Kim Kardashian saying she’s afraid no one is going to want to marry her because she’s in her 40s with four (mulatto) kids, divorced three times already, and making so much money that guys generally feel intimidated. It’s not a matter of feeling they “can’t compete”; men don’t want to compete with their wives.This is a fair point. Portage, WI has 10k people meaning everyone knows each other. You find another decent divorcee/widow, you better lock em down quick. There aren't a lot of options.
I guarantee if she’s worried about being a single mom forever, so is any woman with multiple kids and no husband. I’m not saying Ade is making the right choice here. I don’t know shit about the guy (haven’t had a chance to read the other threads yet). But to project nefarious intent on the basic biological drive to be with a provider, protector and father for your kids seems misguided at best.
An old friend died back in 2001 and his wife moved on very quickly, with one of our friends who used to visit him on his deathbed frequently for games of Scrabble. The guy clearly had designs on the future widow. I don’t know if they ever discussed it or had an agreement, but no one was shocked when the widow married that guy about 18 months after our friend died.
The kicker was that before her husband died young of cancer, her mother and sister had died young of cancer. The widow was cheerfully blunt with anyone who implied she needed to be a tragic heroine or suffer longer. As she said to one person who stuck their oar in about it: “I know you’d find me more acceptable if I waited until you think the clock has struck the appropriate hour before continuing to live. I know the idea that I might be happy already is unforgivable. But I’m afraid I’m not willing to live for your approval when I’ve seen the three people I love most die when their children were still young. It’s better to be happy. I suggest you try it sometime."
Luckily it’s not my life and my opinion doesn’t count for shit. I wish Adrienne every happiness, if only because Annabelle can’t be happy if her mother isn’t.
