(10,103 posts)However, that marriage thing is a killer. So is living with mould. Why would she do that? Don't tell me that Grayson would let the house fall down, because it is his.
And no, I don't believe that the paperwork was 'screwed up.' In real life, should that have happened, both spouses know it can't be hidden forever. I don't believe in this kind of innocence, frankly. The first thing sensible people do is think about what you can do if you can't hide it forever, and find out if the second marriage is valid. And, I might point out, if she is naive, ignorant or dumb enough to believe that she should not have informed Grayson at the time, then she very well might be non compos mentis.
I don't believe in either perfect guilt....or perfect innocence. I might also point out that a woman who floats through life expecting to be taken care of isn't going to get much sympathy in this modern world.
