Unlucky in love, what should we do?
I am from a well off, prominent family. I am the only son and have three sisters, one older than me and two younger. Our parents were John Julich-Cleves-Berg and Maria, Duchess of Julich-Berg. They are both dead. It seems that when it comes to finding love, our family is very unlucky. Only Sybille married well: her husband even sacrificed his business interests to save his family once. I married a French girl, Jeanne d’Albret, and her family is really big back in France. When I married, her family swore that I became one of the family, and promised me all their support. But when a big man, Charles, took a part of the family estates from me (I am well off, and he is huge), Jeanne’s family did not lift a finger to help us and to preserve our property to our future children. As a result, part of my property went to Charles (power and clever lawyers), and Jeanne divorced me. My sister Anne married to a very powerful man, but he annulled their marriage six months later, he said he was not attracted to her (in fact, he had an affair with my sister’s employee). My sister Amelia never
married. When it comes to marriages, it seems that we are cursed or jinxed. Yet we are not that bad looking, educated and are well off. What should we do?
I hate to say this, but it sounds like the chief problem is that you seem to descibe marriage as a kind of twisted business. The majority of what you described here sounds more like aggressive and underhanded business practices than love.
If you are looking for something more meaningful, don’t marry or date someone with financial benefits on their mind. If your wife divorced you because you lost some property then it sounds like she never truly loved you, and was more concerned with material wealth.
Your sister Sybille married someone who saw their relationship and marriage as more important than business or finances. That is why they have a successful marriage.
The only marriages that I have noticed are successful are those where both parties are willing to sacrifice for the other. Money and power are not solid foundations for love. There is no room for selfishness in marriage… It only leads to divorce or unhappiness.
Think of it like this; If you and the other person didn’t have a single cent, a family, and were average looking, would you still love them? Everyone should consider this before going into a serioius relationship.
