POLL: Will George and Cindy remain together in the wake of the trial?

[Chablis]

Cindy gets off the stand, looks at Casey and mouths, "I love you."

George gets off the stand, looks at Casey and makes the motion of washing his hands.

I don't know how they can sit next to one another in court, let alone share the same house. :dunno:

Well,they made a child together,thats the ultimate bond, parents are not supposed to stop loving their children, even Caseys mom. jmo

 

[factchaser]

After reading George's suicide note, and hoping that he has found someone to work through his grief, I can only hope not. I read the note as someone who understands how emotional and mental abuse work, and knows the subtle manipulation involved in tearing someone down to the level GA has been torn down.

I think he is worth more as a person than he thinks Cindy sees him as. Even if that was written in depression, I believe his true feelings came out and she's made him feel worthless over the years. I'm not saying he's a great, wonderful man...I'm just saying he feels worthless, and she may agree. Unless they can heal that part of their marriage, which I think has been around at least since moving to FL....then I don't think they should stay together.

I also think it would be healthier, grown man or not, for Lee to have his parents separated.

I think Cindy was saying good bye in her own way. I love, please know I love you, but I have to be honest (ok, at least about a few things) while I'm up here.

George, well, George was just done. And with JB too. I think it was directed at both, both of them must make him feel dirty...much more so than they've made Cindy feel dirty.

I did not know that GA has a gambling problem.

What a very messy household that must have been. Given all of the lying and other problems.

They'll stay together long enough collect their pay for media appearances, write a book, etc. Once that's over they'll go their separate ways. IMO.

I really hope they dont get anymore media appearances. We have seen enough. This family is too dysfunctional.
I would not read a book by them. To me it would be blood money. It would be great if they donated the $$ but I dont see them doing that.
Really. And can CA forget the "I needyou in my life* note to RC? She seemslike the type to REALLY never let him forget it. JMO
I believed him but why would he make that comment? Makes no sense but alot of times none of them make sense. I just want them to go away and once ICA is sentenced, I NEVER want to hear her name again. :banghead:
CA will go and visit but dont think GA will.
She tried to really ruin him to save herself. Le,, too. I dont believe Lee did anything to her.

 

[rookie]

Wow- I didn't know about the hand washing incident.
I'd love to see that on video.
(Edited to Add: I found it.)

I think it would be best if they got away from each other.
I don't think they will be able to heal otherwise.
There will be years of throwing things in each other's face. (Not literally)
He will blame her, she will blame him.

They say even a good marriage can fail with the loss of a child.
I just don't see how they can do it.

And Lee,
He really needs help.
It used to really bother me when he would laugh on the witness stand.
But these last few times with him crying and saying he was kept out of the loop shows me he is not mature enough to even consider taking on the responsibility of a wife and possibly a family.
His behaviour is like a hurt, little child.
Mallory may end up having to support him emotionally like his mother supports his father financially.

They all need to work on themselves.
Then they can decide if they want to come back together.

I hope none of them tries to make any more money off of this disaster.
That would make them even more "morally bankrupt" in my opinion.

 

[concentric]

hmmm. Maybe KC told GA and CA in the jailhouse tape that she had to make a choice, and she chose to talk to,deal with her father in jail, because he was going to be harder to break and conform to KC's agenda.

It's possible that they have been living as housemates for the pass 3 years. Very common for older couples to live in the same house after separation. Didn't they mention the price of divorce too costly?

 

[Pollywog]

I don't think so. I think he is just tired of it all. I think CA is really bossy/controlling and I think they had to stick together to get thru the trial. If for some wrong reason she gets to walk free, I doubt he will stick around for long with ICA back in the house - I know I would not.

In Florida you can get a do it yourself type divorce. I did that for an employee of ours, ordred the papers on line already filled out = $149, take those to the clerks office, pay the court fee, get apperance date set, judge signs and you are done. You just input the info into the form, it formats it and bam all info is there. It is cheaper for the papers I think if no minor children involved, maybe $99 I think.

So the cost should not be that much if they decide ahead of time about any assets, which they may not have many.

.....So the cost should not be that much if they decide ahead of time about any, which they may not have many.

Well, Cindy does or did have the most to lose. Besides all that ... Where will GA go? Last time to his parents in Fort Meyers. It so happens living in the same house - separate lives happens. Costly living apart after a split. Couples can remain friends after breaking up for the perks. CA gets an escort ... GA a place to sleep.

As for their already existing money issues, how much worst can it get? CA funds drained. Supposedly she hasn't worked for 3 years. Personally, I just don't like having to be liable for GA squandering debts. But how much more can he spend if they can't get credit?

An old shoe is hard to throw away. :rose:

 

[GiantPickle]

It all depends on how good their therapist is !

I think they will survive this part together - they need each other in very simple ways right now (someone else at the breakfast table, in the car etc). But once the real healing starts, they wont survive...they have two different versions of reality. Unless Cindy flips it, they will forever be at odds.

I think Casey will still be a huge part of the family dynamic and problems they face in the future as well. She will spend the rest of her life in jail destroying them from behind bars.

I think that George, Cindy, and Casey are all very good at lying. If George and Cindy are going to stay married, I think they need to learn how to be honost--both with themselves and with each other. They need lots of counseling both separately and together, and maybe family counseling with Lee too. I think if Casey is convicted and sentenced, that they should just let her sit in prison and suffer the consequences of her behavior. I don't think they should put money in her account or even make regular visits to her. Accusing George of sexually abusing her in front of the whole world, should get her banned from the family forever (unless its true and I don't think it is). I think George, Cindy, and Lee should all get help to remove the dysfunction from their lives and to rebuild their family without Casey. Maybe one day they will have another grandchild from Lee that they can all enjoy.

 

[marie-chantal]

I wonder if they'll even stay in that house? I don't know for sure, but it seems to me (based on timelines) that poor Caylee was most likely killed in that house. I couldn't stay there if I was them.

 

[*~Aimee~*]

Where are they getting their money to live off of? - they have been at court everyday and Cindy said she has not worked since July 16th. So how do they make their money?

 

[Asker]

I think it is telling that when George got friendly or possibly even had an affair with another woman--that the new woman's personality was so negatively close to that of Cindy's. I think George would stay with Cindy out of dependency issues but Cindy will toss him out the minute she gets her hands on her book deal $$$ and all what not.

 

[jacasa]

I voted no, however, if they sought therapy and worked at it, they may be able to salvage their marriage. I feel sorry for them for different reasons. Cindy seems to wear the pants in the family and George just seems to go along with whatever she wants. I do feel George has been the most honest in the trial between the two. Whatever happens, I wish them the best. This has been a nigtmare for the whole family.

 

[TxLady2]

I don't think it's anyone's business whether they stay together or not, but just for the sake of discussion, sometimes it's easier to stay together than to live apart, once you've been married that many years. I've been married to my guy for 27 years, and I can't imagine life without him, but then we haven't been through what they have. Sometimes tragedies bring some couples closer together.
I hope that whatever happens, they both find some peace in their hearts.

You got me? Was there disability [GA knee] & unemployment along the way? They almost lost their house but guess arranged a new payment structure.

Money from photos & previous appearance ... that wouldn't last long. Too many past bills. Bet they signed away book rights with up-front money?

 

[SassyBenton]

This is supposed to be about justice for a innocent child, what does this have to do with the trial? Honestly, I don't think it's any of our business. They have been through enough without people now taking bets on whether they will divorce. We need to stay out of it.
