PART 2: when they say love is patient/blind,they forget it's deaf and dumb

something tragic happened in my life just b4 I graduated from uni, as a coupping machanism, I decided to get married to escape from my grief, I wanted a change of scenery, I decided to settle for one elderly guy I have already ruled out despite all the warnings about his questionable character and stinginess... I was like an not after what he has, I pray I have enough to give him, believe me I can see the warning signs but decided what the hell, I called him and told if he truly want to marry me let's get married next months! surprised he was with the sudden change of heart he said he want to but next month wasn't ready we agreed on a later date, I walked to my guidians and told them, I want to get married, all my family whr surprised most don't know him, or even have knowledge I was dating anyone one at all! all they know I had a lot of suitors rejected some holding royal titles ,high government official, acting governor at the time, political office holders, dignitaries of all sort, y not any of them? my family asked! I was fixated on this one person whom I was warned about... u will think I was blinded by love, no, not at all am just strong willed, he's my idea of peace no.money no title just him, because he's elderly I assume he knows life, marriage and relationship with the age gap he can be patient with me.. and there I was getting married most of my family angry with my decision
