At fourteen H. G. Wells left school and was apprenticed to a draper at Windsor, where he lived above the Shop and had sixpence a week pocket money. He was soon discharged because of all the mistakes he had been making. Four years after he left school, he won a scholarship to the Normal School of Science in South Kensington. Another took him to London University, from which he graduated with a degree in biology in 1890.
In 1891, Wells and Isabel, [(a daughter of one of the Wells family's in-laws-making her his cousin)], were married (http://library.thinkquest.org/27864/data/wells/hgwbio.html). By this time he was working as a tutor again (http://library.thinkquest.org/27864/data/wells/hgwbio.html). However, the marriage didn't last long, partly because of Well's adultery. In 1894 he left Isabel for Amy Catherine Robbins (nicknamed Jane), a pupil in one of Well's classes. Jane and Wells were married not long after Wells and Isabel's divorce (http://library.thinkquest.org/27864/data/wells/hgwbio.html).
In 1909 H. G. Wells had an affair with Amber Reeves, who had a daughter by him. Jane knew about this but they didn't get divorced; they were married until her death in 1927 (http://library.thinkquest.org/27864/data/wells/hgwbio.html). The public was shocked and many of his works were boycotted (http://library.thinkquest.org/27864/data/wells/hgwbio.html). But it wouldn't be the first time- starting in 1913 and lasting ten years, Wells had an affair with Rebecca West, also a writer. Rebecca also had a son by Wells. H. G. Wells died from cancer on August 13, 1946, only a few weeks short of his eightieth birthday.
