“Like many people, I consider myself an incurable romantic, and there is a part of me that will always believe in walking off into the sunset to live happily ever after. When I was younger, like many children, I assumed I would get married, live in a nice house, and have a couple of kids.

Perhaps needless to say, I was not one of those girls.” PeopleYearsBelieveChildrenKidsRomanceGirlHouseNiceCollegeCoupleWalkingAchievementMarriedEndlessTraditionalEngagedSunsetAlways BelieveHappily Ever AfterEver AfterEpitomeNice HouseCollege Years Book:'Till Death Do Us Part: Love, Marriage, and the Mind of the Killer Spouse Source: 'Till Death Do Us Part: Love, Marriage, and the Mind of the Killer Spouse
