Back in 2015

I was living quietly alone in my home and got new neighbors, a recently married couple. I was 34 at the time and worked from home and quite well off due to inheritance from my late parents. I wasn't dating or in any relationship, used a local lady 47 to get my rocks off. She cleaned my house and needed extra money and we came to a mutual beneficial arrangement. The newlywed couple were loud neighbors, well he was always shouting. He 35 had a high stress job and the slightest thing set him off, she 29 was really quiet and had only married him to improve her life. She was his showoff wife, and he drank to excess and partied hard using drugs and also smoking heavily. So, it shouldn't have been the shock to anyone that he had a massive heart attack which he didn't survive. I was shocked to hear he had collapsed dead at his work just over a year since they had moved next door. But I'd my troubles as my cleaning had recently married again and was moving away. I'd had to find another cleaning and a lover; I'd talked to my now widowed neighbor when I was in my backyard a few times. It was following her husband's funeral I saw her again she was worried, which I at first took for grief. Her husband had bought the house, car and a few more things on credit. Had very little in the way of assets or insurance and she was going to lose everything and be back where she started, maybe even worse. Once I knew her situation, I said I'll have look at her situation and see how she might get thru it all. Her description of her problems was understated situation was a lot worse than I first thought. Everything they owned was bought on credit and he was behind with the payments when he died. The house was worth more than she owed the bank on it and so I told her to sell it asap. A good local market it sold quickly and likewise the car and everything else that could be sold was. But she just covered all the debts and was free and clear and had $50 left. She was staying with me until she worked out her future plans. She was doing my cleaning and laundry and as she had no idea what she was going to do. I decided to suggest a possible option for her, as she had married her late husband to improve her life before, why not again. She was a little shocked at first, my offer had some advantages over her previous marriage. I don't smoke, do drugs or drink to excess and I'm also a quiet type of person (not shy). So, she agreed it was the best offer she had, and we married before started having sex. To anybody that knew of us it might have seemed rather quickly only 6months after losing her first husband. But the locals either didn't care or know. Now we've 4 children and getting on really well, she is quite happy being a fulltime mother and she has changed my life a great deal.
