I also see their hand in this horrible tragedy. I hate to say this but I think he may have been the best one of the whole bunch until he made the choice to cheat and then to kill. I can also see NK's. I think she made a comment that she wished she had been his first wife and her babies would have been his. Something along those lines. Probably not ever thinking he would kill them all. Although she hasn't ever really seemed horrified by any of it. IMO
In the end CW made his own choices and will pay the consequences. If his family hadn't treated SW so horribly and he had never met NK I wonder if he would have ever become a killer.
Well, both SW and NK share some common traits. Slim brunettes, both strong-willed, both somewhat perfectionistic. Both unafraid to take leadership.
And at the beginning of both relationships, CW behaves in a pleasantly passive manner. Not only this, he is devoted to both.
From the interview with NK, I remember how CW asked her to check on his nutrition - giving her his phone with the app, and she checked his food!
It is my guess that both women fell for his perceived loyalty, both liked his mild manners, both (at the beginning) were ready to have kids.
And in both cases, it is predictable who was/would have been wearing the pants in the family.
NK though CW was more in love with her than she was with him.
Probably. The same, initially, happened with Shanann.
If somehow CW were able to wiggle out of the murder suspicion (could have been if the bodies were not found and he refused the polygraph) and married NK, how soon would he start accumulating anger and rage towards her? She'd have a kid, be preoccupied with this own kid, he'd eventually start thinking "I killed my family for this".
I wonder if it would have become "rinse-repeat" cycle, only with NK.
