What is Hail Mary Husband?
A seemingly healthy, successful, well-mannered man who randomly begins dating that train wreck late-30s / early-40s woman who was never able to settle down before. He came out of nowhere to date the woman and will marry her within six months. Then they will immediately try to squeeze out a Hail Mary Baby.
The woman's acquaintances will always wonder:
How did she find this last minute suitor? They don't seem to have much in common. Did she pull him out of the bushes?
Did her taste drastically change overnight? This guy is very different from her ex-boyfriends.
Does he know about her past? Is he okay with it?
Can he handle her rage episodes? Is he armed?
Did she go to rehab? Will the baby be okay?
Mitra, a flashy 38-year old attorney living in Newport, posted a picture on social media of her engagement with a nondescript guy who no one knew she was dating in the first place. Apparently, they met five months ago. He became her Hail Mary Husband. A year later, she posted pictures of the two celebrating her pregnancy.
Mitra's friends were impressed because they remember her just two years ago doing blow in the bathroom of Mesa nightclub and crying about her tumultuous 11-year on-and-off relationship with the athletic hookah lounge/tattoo parlor owner who would not commit to her. "Good for her," they thought with a slight unease.
