I have never quite understood the quizzical looks I get when I ask a guy if he married his best friend. I mean really, if your wife isn't your best friend, didn't you make the biggest mistake of your life?
Can someone explain this to me?

Not at all, and that certainly wasn't my intention in the post. I have zero problems with guys who do drywall, and in fact I admire the skill and patience required to do it right. My point was/is that this woman could have had most any guy she wanted including some very well to do guys. She chose a guy who clearly was below her at the socio/economic level. I reiterate, not making ANY kind of slur, just sharing something I observed.
For the record, I do not have a college degree. I worked my way into a position that typically required a degree.

Ya know, before I met the woman who was to become my wife, I went through many women, sometimes two at a time.
I didn't care about their education or their socioeconomic status. I was just interested in satisfying a very basic instinct. Back then a long range relationship was two weeks. I also moved a lot. "Let's see, which way is the wind blowing today? Off I go."
I was young, athletic and exotic looking. Women dug the long hair, tattoos, earrings and self confident attitude. I took full advantage of that. My Dad used to call me his "wild Indian."
Until I met the future Mrs. Snubby.
She's a college graduate and went through 2 failed marriages. One was a guy that played in a classic rock band and worked in a transmission shop.
They parted ways in good terms.
I took colleges courses but I have no degree. Oddly enough, I was interested in learning stuff. Stuff that I still use to this day. I was always blue collar but I did make a good living. By the time I was 27, I was a warehouse supervisor at one of the largest Toyota Parts Departments in the Mid-Atlantic region.
Sometimes it still kinda blows my mind. I've been with the same wonderful woman for nearly sixteen years and living in the same house for nearly fifteen.
Maybe your relative just needs to make her own mistakes and find her way through life. Hopefully she'll find the favorable path as I did with my wonderful wife.
