The problem with famous people

I had the fortune or misfortune to be loved by several people who had a national and international reputation and were quite well known within their own circles.
The problem with these men are that they usually get what they want. Women throw themselves at them. These men feel entitled, they do not take "no" for an answer, and they do not take it well when one sets rules of behavior. Their rule reigns. Oh they can be sweet. They also are smooth, good talkers, educated - of course!
When I met the Crush he was not famous yet but became famous later. When I met "mother", mother was famous and "mother" also fell madly in love with me. I was older (a ripe twenty-three!) and it took longer for me to fall in love with "mother" but as mentioned above: these men get what they want and "mother" did "get me." Of course I learned to love mother deeply.
Oh, there was a third person whom I rarely mention. That person was older, a multimillionaire, spoke six or seven languages and he came to my parents to ask for my hand in marriage. Sounds pretty romantic, doesn't it? It was but I was sixteen years of age! What he thought I have no idea but I was terrified.
Then, up until last summer, I was blessed with a great friendship. It was celibate, it was chaste. The guy was bigger than life and we had great times together. We knew the rules of behaviour from the get go. There was an incredible freedom in that.
Once you experience that, you do not give it up.
