Fast forward twelve years, my IEI buddy has dropped out of college, has had a few spectacular romantic failures, and has been living in his parent’s basement all summer without a job and without a future. My LSE sister has a pharmacist’s job, is making six figures, and goes to see him. She proposes marriage (have you ever seen how LSE’s kind of go for what they want without much foresight?), he declines, she gives him a 30-day ultimatum that if he doesn’t decide by them, she’ll never ask him again. Twenty five days later he rides his bike over to our parent’s house and accepts.
Their marriage has been an incredible disaster since then. To see them together is to see two people trapped in a jail cell who don’t even like each other.
I should mention that my LSE sister was extremely abused, mentally and physically, by our mother as a kid, and when I asked her what caused her to marry the IEI, she said she saw in him a guy who could navigate trouble and was adamant in his beliefs.
