Our reason for getting married had nothing to do with financial gain because neither one of us had any money at the time.My assertion? LOL, you know...since I never said anything -at all- about financial gain, this response seems strange.
Quote:Um, if my husband cheated on me (which he never will, btw), the last words to come out of my mouth would be: "but how could you cheat on me? We had a government contract!"I doubt that very much, however, just as above....it's not much of a response to -my- comments.
I'll say it again, there's no reason to be pious, particularly with me. You both enjoy and benefit from the contract, it is important to you, or you'd not have entered into it. Pretending otherwise in service of this little narrative cheapens both god and the relationship you've agreed to.
I'm glad I have an anonymous stranger on the internet to tell me what is important to me.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
