She said in regard to one of her more unpleasent husbands "What youv'e got is what you get". Once I figured out that it was her trying to "makeover" the men she married into what she thought they should be instead of accepting that none were perfect but neither was she and that maybe by loving the lovable and making the best of the rest just might make for more peace and contentmentin her life. I watched my mother do as her mother had done and decided it was not a great way to live so decided to love the loveable and make the best of the rest and now am about to celebrate 48 years of a great partnership. Am the least married member of my family and somehow find that it is the simple things like can "I get you a cuppa" from an 82 year old frail stroke surviver who wants to try in any way he can to support me because I have had to support him financially and in everyother way for the last 27 years is what life is really all about.
