A woman who married a wealthy man more than 20 years her senior when she was just 19 has opened up about the unexpected toll of their union, calling it a decision she 'deeply regrets' despite their two-decade marriage and four children. Now 39, the mum says she tied the knot with her 40-year-old husband in what she admits was an arrangement based on looks and money.

'The only reason he married me was because I was hot,' she confessed on Reddit. 'And the only reason I married him was because he had money.'. Speaking candidly about her experience, she described how her turbulent childhood left her vulnerable to the allure of someone who appeared to have all the answers.
Adopted by parents she says 'shouldn't have been allowed to care for a houseplant', she grew up feeling like she had to navigate life on her own. When she met her future husband at 17, his confidence and wealth seemed like a way out. But looking back, she says, 'If I could go back and slap myself, I would.'.
The couple has built a life together, raising four children and finding common ground over the years, but the cracks in their relationship run deep. A woman who married a wealthy man more than 20 years her senior when she was just 19 has opened up about the unexpected toll of their union.
'What no one tells you - or they try and you don't listen because you're a dumb teenager - is that marrying for money means you owe them. Every single day. Not just in the bedroom but in every aspect of your life,' she explained. While her husband never explicitly demanded repayment, the power imbalance has manifested in subtler ways.
