I should have been out there having a wild time like all the other girls my age, but I wasn't. I was going home every night to what was, initially, a very happy marriage.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Before my marriage, I was really wild, and I was very open about it. My wife knows about it. From the age of 19 to 30, I was this mad, wild person. I just wanted to have a good time, not get serious with anyone. I didn't allow relationships to happen, and I made it clear to whoever I was with.
When I was a girl, we all wanted to have fun. That's all we thought about. It didn't occur to us to get married and have babies.
I was gone so much in my first marriage. I love the moments when I engage with my youngest daughter now. It's not my thing to sit on the ground and play tea party, but I'll do it because it's a moment that will stick with me forever.
I stayed in submission to my husband, and he allowed me to do anything I wanted to. I felt like I was lucky to have that kind of romance.
I feel like we were married from the moment we sat down there.
I was really, really wild in my early twenties and a bit self-destructive.
I was always too mature for my age - and not very happy. I had no young friends. I wish I could go back to those days. If I could only live it all again, how I would play and enjoy other girls. What a fool I was.
For about two years, I was a little wild. I was out partying, having adventures.
I was married when I was 17. I knew nothing. I was full of romance.
I was just so lucky to have a wonderful life after a tough marriage.
