A beautiful woman makes one catastrophic error in judgment, and it affects her life [View all]

44 years ago today, this lovely woman decided to commit to spending the rest of her life with me.
I just couldn't bring myself to tell her what she was getting herself into.

Fortunately for me, she still hasn't noticed the gravity of her mistake
