Unsuccessful Married Life of Joan Didion With Husband John Gregory Dunne

Let's start from the beginning. Joan Didion first met her future husband John Gregory Dunne while she was working at Vouge in New York. Late John Gregory Dunne was an American novelist, screenwriter, and a literary critic. At the time the couple met, John was writing for Time.

Regarding their first meeting, Joan once said;

We amused each other and I thought he was smart. He knew a lot of stuff that I didn't know, like politics and history - I had managed to go through school without learning much except a lot of poems.

After several meeting, in 1963, John invited Joan to travel with him to Connecticut one weekend to visit his family. Regarding those moments, Joan said to a source;

liked the set-up, liked being there, and liked him.

During that tour, John proposed Joan for marrying him with a beautiful engagement ring popping out the question "Will you marry me?" Joan didn't take more than a second and accepted his proposal saying "Yes".

Joan had infertility issues so that the couple was unable to have children. Thus, they adopted a newly born baby girl in 1966 and named her Quintana Roo. Unfortunately, Quintana died of severe illness in 2005. Deep sympathy!
