Kind of like yoyo.
and fundamentally damaged. This women smelled his weakness, like a predator.
Is Doc one of those very lowly thought of doctors though? Like a podiatrist? Not much prestige there.
The only way this makes any sense is that Doc knew her since high school, and had a crush on her then. They reconnect as adults and he thinks she's meant for him.
There's just no way any Doctor meets a random woman with 3 kids and says "Yeah, I'll take care of you. Let's get married". No Doctor is going to go fishing in those ponds.
She's clearly an opportunist. First husband probably good looking so she wanted to mate and have good looking kids. But he's poor and she wants a comfortable life for her and the kids, so she finds Doc. Then when the kids are mostly grown up and no need for a stable family life, she decides to get with a free spirit hippy band teacher/professor.
There's no morals here. No God fearing people. People acting selfishly and doing what is right in their own eyes. Wretched people.
as silly as he was for not seeing the red flags, she seems to be a truly selfish and deviant person.
i suspect it crossed her mind at some point that she may be able to have doc's money without doc. feels like it could have easily spun in the direction of one of those hour shows where the woman pumps up the guy's life insurance before he is found to have died via home "accident."
Have 3 kids with husband #1. But he’s too poor to support them, so divorce.
Marry rich Doctor as husband #2 to take care of kids. Divorce when his $$$ is no longer needed.
Marry 3rd husband to presumably live out the golden years? I mean who leaves a doctor to marry a HS band teacher, especially a woman in her 50s?
Doc seems like an idiot to be hung up on this woman and her kids, and he probably feels betrayed knowing he wasted his life on her when he could have created his own family. This situation probably ends in Doc’s suicide or the ex getting breast cancer as payment for her sins. If either happen I wouldn’t call it a tragedy but just desserts. Marriage to be is sacred. Do it once. If it doesn’t work out, that’s it. People that marry 2-3 times don’t even take it seriously.
but then have her cheat on him and he’s probably still on the hook for child support and such when they’re not even his.
