So why was she so interested in their finances?I don’t believe her lie of “ I wanted to make sure his financial situation was good otherwise that would be a deal breaker”
If you are truely in love with someone how much $$ they have shouldn’t matter.
I thought she hardly knew CW so how is she the self appointed expert on their financial situation?[
NK seemed the most hung up on CW's finances, as well as what he was going to do for a house and what the costs were, and made several statements that indicated she voiced all of her strong opinions on this to CW. Aside from it being totally annoying that she kept inserting herself into his finances and state of his marriage, I feel like that got CW even more freaked out about his financial burdens if he got divorced. I do NOT think she is responsible for his actions or encouraged him to do anything.
But her extreme focus on what he was going to do, and where he should buy, and what he could afford, and what Shanann would be able to afford, and taking over his housing search, and how far from the schools, and if he should rent or if he should buy, was SO over the top for a mere mistress of a few weeks.
Especially because I don't think CW was much involved in his household's finances. He didn't even know passwords or credit card accounts because Shanann handled all that. So I don't know that money worries and housing cost concerns were his major focus until he had this chic chirping in his ear about what he needed to be doing about his housing situation and his entangled finances and how much it would cost him. He may have thought he could just roll with it and it would all work out until this one wanted to know his plan and timeline. It's absolutely not her fault he chose murder as a course of action, but I don't think she didn't help the situation.
She also said that she voiced things like it being annoying that she had to wait until the girls went to sleep to talk to CW. On one hand, she's praising herself for her continued dedication on instructing CW to spend time with his children. While voicing her annoyances of when he was unavailable. And I think she was probably being honest when she told the detectives that she didn't tell CW it was "horrible" or that couldn't handle it or suggest murder as a way to to have more phone time together.
But....she still voiced it to him as a displeasure. That bugs me. He's a dad with two young kids. Even if he was a nice divorced single dad - kids come with the package. They come first. Always. If you can't handle that, don't date a man with kids. Or if you must complain, vent to your friends. Even just expressing annoyance to the guy that you are inconvenienced and impatient is so wrong to me. (Even more so when you are claiming you are the one piously directing him to spend time with his kids.) It's okay to not want to date a man with kids. But then don't! She is way too immature and self-absorbed to even think about dating anyone with kids and should have stayed completely out of that situation, regardless if he was married or not.
But for whatever reason CW was fixated on her and seemed ready to jump to do anything to handle whatever she was displeased about at the moment. At the expense of his beautiful family. For this whiner. Everything. Not liking the menu - so let's drive to a different restaurant. Sucky seats. How he should eat. What he should be doing. What she thinks he should be doing. What she thinks SW should have been doing. How he should buy them bunk beds. And how he and SW should read articles on the impact of divorce on kids. OMG just shut up. Thanks for the input. This was irritating me more than her voice. She sure knows everything about everything.
I have no idea what CW was so attracted to, and it's still not even remotely her fault for the actions he chose. But very displeasure she voiced about what his life could look like after a divorce, particularly the financial burden of it, I think could possibly have contributed to his mindset. Or who knows, maybe it didn't at all. But her hyper attention to his housing situation and costs and how she was expertly advising him on all of this just seemed extreme. And maybe made him get more hung up on how she wasn't going to be pleased with his financial situation after a divorce and supporting his family.
