I’m so glad that your sister has found happiness with someone more on her level. Sounds like she deserves every bit of it.Harking back a bit, to when we were discussing Barry's probable objections to Suzanne retraining for the workplace - that reminded me so much of my husband's sister. She was much brighter than her late husband, and spent over 3 decades of her life playing it down, ie not taking on further study or training for a better job, or switching careers, and meanwhile praising him for everything she possibly could. I know of at least one time when she wanted to do some further study, but he said he didn't want her to, so she gave the idea away. She could have done it anyway of course, but that would have hurt the marriage. Well, she made her choices. Nowadays, years later, she has a very nice partner, he is very quickwitted with a wicked sense of humor and an excellent general knowledge. And I must say that my husband and I secretly much prefer him to the late hubby. My (somewhat belated) point is that Barry was probably always aware that Suzanne was smarter than him, and he couldn't abide everybody else seeing that.
It makes me so very sad when I read things that SM said to her friend—. Ex. When she said “ I wonder what younger me was thinking”.
I’m sure she stuck it out for those 2 “ miracle babies” they thought she couldn’t have, devoted her life gladly to them.
So sad that she was just on the brink of being able to live her life for herself.
