Making Do Under The Circumstances
I did my undergraduate at McGill. I met Marie there, from Montreal. It was love at first sight and we spent our undergraduate as lovers. Following graduation she returned home for the summer. I went home to work on my graduate degree program. I got a letter in the mail from Marie.
"Mon Cheri, I wanted to be the first to tell you". An opportunity had presented itself to her, to ensure her parent's home was paid for, and to provide grandchildren for them. A man had presented himself, in return for marriage, two children, he would pay off her parent's mortgage. Once his earlier marriage was set aside they could marry with all the sacraments of the church. They had entered into a contract for marriage, with a prenuptial agreement to be removed once they were married by the church and she had produced two children, at which time he would also pay off her parent's mortgage. She was married by law, and she was very sure she was pregnant.
I fell to my knees.
Pregnant with her second child, the annu!.ment came through. She invited me to the formal wedding at her childhood church. To stand with her. m"
By the time 2020 rolled around she was again pregnant. She asked me to be her au pair. To move to Montreal and live with them. In 2022 she again delivered a child. Four children to raise, to look after. As her au pair I am the second mother. I help her get ready for bed, her bed with her husband. As her au pair I help with the housework. With the two of us, she has&"" a service come in once a week, the rest is on us.
Mon Cheri, Je t'aime, etc. I love her, I love the children. I'm a fixture. I never continued with graduate school. My place is with her, to love her, to hold her. Marie stole my heart, she married for financial reasons, and to give her parents grandchildren. We are together morning, noon and night. To love and to hold, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, I'm 'married' 1"'.to her.
