It's a well known fact that men move on almost instantly after their wives die, and even though he waited almost two whole years, Theodore was no different.
He loved his first wife Alice so much, can't you tell?
This is the winner he replaced her with...
Props to Alice for bucking convention and flipping them all double birds...
Alice wrote about her stepmother in a positive light in later years, but that just goes to show that she was a friendly person even if she was going against the norm in a lot of ways for that time period.
In other words, he was your typical needy, self-obsessed old fuck.
Bobby was definitely one to talk... lmfao. Marilyn Monroe had become pregnant with his child and refused to abort, which was one of the reasons she was murdered, in case you didn't know...

Quote:Two days after her birth, in the same house, her mother died of undiagnosed kidney failure. Eleven hours earlier that day, Theodore's mother, Martha Stewart "Mittie" Bulloch, had also died, of typhoid fever.
Theodore was rendered so distraught by his wife's death that he could not bear to think about her. He almost never spoke of her again, would not allow her to be mentioned in his presence, and even omitted her name from his autobiography. Therefore, his daughter Alice was called "Baby Lee" instead of by her first name. She continued this practice late in life, often preferring to be called "Mrs. L" rather than "Alice".

Quote:She later said of Theodore, "He wants to be the bride at every wedding, the corpse at every funeral, and the baby at every christening."

Quote:During the cruise to Japan, Alice jumped into the ship's swimming pool fully clothed, and coaxed Congressman William Bourke Cockran to join her in the water. Putting a romantic spin on the story, newspapers reported it was Longworth, to whom Alice was engaged. Years later Bobby Kennedy would chide her about the incident, saying it was outrageous for the time, to which the by-then-octogenarian Alice replied that it would only have been outrageous had she removed her clothes.
