MARRIAGE NOT MADE IN HEAVEN

"Did you love him?"
"Well, I didn't, no."
"Did he love you?"
"Well, I don't think so."

"So why did you get married then?"
"I didn't want to marry any other men."
"But you didn't really want to marry him?"
"No, I didn't."
"So, wasn't that dim...

...to get married to someone you didn't want to marry?
And I gather he didn't want to marry you?"
"Look - we didn't want to marry each other.
It's just, we ended up saying, 'I do'."

"Did you marry for convenience,
Or for money?"
"I'm not like that.
I thought it would be funny."

"You thought marriage would be funny?"
"Well, why not?"
"So, did you have a laugh then?"
"I laughed a lot!
In fact, I'd never laughed so much before,
In my entire life;
About the fact that I had been,
That complete nutter's wife."
