Amiel Black reportedly lashes out at media as trial of husband Conrad hits snag
I didn't think that the wife of a British peer would behave like that. Particularly when she's simply receiving the same type of treatment that she would give to others. Not too many would like to be on the receiving end of one of her columns. But anyway, she married money and she's having a very stressful time right now. A small excuse for her.

As the saying goes, he who lives by the sword, dies by the sword.
As for marrying for money; that really isn't anything new under the sun. Marrying for love is, in fact, a relatively new concept in the history of the institution, which was, in the first place, an economic arrangement. Marriages were arranged (and in some places still are)and there was a time when being "in love" with one's spouse was considered almost disgraceful.
Perhaps I am a bit cynical, but I have seen people get married for far worse (and far stupider) reasons with the inevitable results. I have also seen people stay married not out of love, but out of greed. The result is two miserable but very well off people, and that is a hell I would not care to contemplate.
Now don't get me wrong, I am very happy and very fortunate to be in a relationship with a man I love and who loves me. I would not have it any other way.
In the end, it is not the "marrying for money" that I find offensive, but rather the blatant snobbery and hypocrisy of Baron and Lady Black of Cross Harbour.
Schadenfreude, anyone?
