Why didn't I marry that guy or even THAT guy? Both of them just wanted to get laid/have God-approved orgasms, but it still would've been WAY better than the person I married. The second one engaged in borderline stalking behavior, so I tended to lump both suitors together in my mind even though the first guy, in general, only made me mildly uncomfortable. Of course, the first guy's cousin sent me a dick pic, so that might have made family gatherings a little awkward.
It would've been better to marry no one at all, but with the romantic that I was, I wasn't going to be content until someone treated me like s**t or I made an ass of myself in some way.
My charms were few. I was just the only single, JW female around. It was like one of those post-apocalyptic movies, but instead of there being one man and one women, there were several men and one woman and masturbation was strictly prohibited. That sort of thing. I'm sure that whoever's reading this will find it perfectly relatable.
I've talked about this before but I think it impacted my future relationships. I didn't know what normal was.
Occasionally, a traveling speaker with a daughter would come for a Sunday service, and their attention would be briefly diverted. However, things would return to normal at the next meeting. This went on for years. My family thought it was funny.
