An Education, Lynn Barber

Why was I so sure David was The One? Well, first and foremost, because he was gorgeously handsome and remained gorgeously handsome all his life. People say you shouldn’t marry for looks but I disagree: if I tot up all the pleasure I got from looking at David over the years I’d say it amounted to a very substantial hill of beans. Sometimes we’d just be sitting on the sofa watching television and I’d glance sideways at his profile and think, Gosh! Also of course, having a gorgeous husband meant that we had gorgeous children, which I wouldn’t have done if I’d married some toad. So his looks were important. But of course there were other qualities too. He had a lovely singing voice and was always singing, everything from Count John McCormack’s Irish ballads, to music-hall songs. He was a brilliant cook and was never happier than when preparing a fabulous meal. He had a wonderful ‘eye’ and was always pointing out details - the painting on a pub sign, the brilliant green lichen on a tree stump - that I would not have noticed. I loved going to galleries and museums with him because he taught me so much. He also had the same black sense of humour as me - we both found it hilarious, for instance, that Tommy Cooper dropped dead of a heart attack while performing a television show called Live from Her Majesty’s. Such bad taste, I know, but it was our bad taste and a strong bond precisely because other people disapproved. 

Actually we were alike in a million ways - we both hated the theatre, loved opera, hated sport, loved art galleries. We once did a psychometric test for a friend who was training to be a psychiatrist and he said he had never seen two such similar test results. We were both Geminis (though of course we didn’t believe in astrology!) and were delighted to be told that Geminis should always marry each other because they made such appalling partners for anyone else - we Twins are the martial lepers of the celestial regions.

On the other hand, we were different in one very important way. David was good. He was thoroughly kind, thoroughly thoughtful, thoroughly decent. Whereas I was somehow morally damaged. I had become a proficient liar in my years with Simon and found it hard to break the habit. I was also apt to do bad things if I thought I could get away with them. But at least I knew I needed to marry someone good. I didn’t mind having bad hats as boyfriends - in fact I was rather attracted to them - but for a husband I wanted someone 100 per cent decent. Thank God I had the sense to see that.
