Erm no. At that point in time, I doubt she would have had any idea that she would lose her job and have such misfortune - it’s not a likely outcome. It could have been just as likely that she married you (or anyone) that she thought was a decent guy and he could have turned out to be a wife beater.

Oh and plus, if she was really a career oriented woman, even if you proposed to her now I bet she’d tell you to go jump. Just because she’s in a bad place, if she didn’t like your point of view then, why would she like it now?
