Straight Male / 47
I was 28, she was 16. In those days they called it a shotgun wedding, for a reason. This was rural Alaska and I either got married or I was not going to be heard of. The judge married us and wished her good riddance. I was 28 and saddled with a 16 year old girl. Being Alaskan she was pretty self sufficient when it came to cooking and cleaning, but damn, this girl was a daddy's girl and she had a lot of growing up to do. Emotionally she was more like 12 than 16.
I brought her to California and stuck her in school. A 28 year old is not taken too seriously when you enroll your minor wife in school. Not till they dealt with her and I immediately became the adult when it came to her and school. She just didn't care too much about homework, and I was working, and my mistake, I told her she had to keep up her end of the bargain, and keep house and the cooking and all. Anyway, she was failing school, mostly because of the homework crap. After dinner was bad news. I had to sit her down, and sit with her and do her homework with her. This made her mad and she would go to bed mad. Eventually I told her that maybe she wasn't ready to be a woman and she should have her own room and finish growing up. And, school came first, not cooking and cleaning.
She had a teacher, a history teacher, who took her under her wing and she did better in school.
She was a kid. She was just a kid. In her room she did great, she decorated and I let her get her own bedspread (a big deal for her) and I got off her back on the woman stuff. I would sit and look at her and I confess I felt really bad for having taken her from being a kid and forcing her to be a woman. She had not desire to return to her house any more, she just wanted to be with me and finish growing up. And Alaska was really far away.
She has been my wife for 40 plus years, I am retired now, with responsibilities you stay employed. And once she got old enough to be a woman, she popped out her share of kids. Now that I am home and she is taking care of me, she is all woman, every ounce of her is woman, except when she comes and sits with me, and then she is this sixteen year old kid again.
