At This Age Marriage For Love Comes Second

48 and divorced working retail living in an apartment I responded to the advances of a man, a client. Twelve years older, divorced, but an executive with a good paying job, wanting a little home cooking. Slow but steady, he 'encircled' me, put me under his 'influence'. I surrendered, gave in completely, he led I followed. He wanted a quiet wedding, close friends only.

I'm old enough, self aware enough, I married for money, security, standard of living. I married for money. He married for a home cooked meal.
