Isn't it possible that for Shannon and her biological family and *close* friends, it is out of character for her to disappear without contacting any of them.... while at the same time, since she is separated from JB, it could be quite common for her to not bother sharing her plans and whereabouts with him, keeping him out of the loop, with her not wanting to feel 'controlled', and he would be none the wiser as to whether she was uncharacteristically not in contact with her family and friends? To me it makes sense.
Because they are separated, it all makes sense. If they were
not separated, none of it would make sense and he would definitely be under suspicion for not letting anyone know he hadn't heard from her in days. But if it were a common occurrence recently because of their marital status, how can he be held responsible for her not sharing her plans with him, as most people with consideration would do if they resided within the same household?
I doubt if JB was playing the 'let's only live in the house one at a time' game, because while it might be simple for SB to find a couch to crash on in Calgary or Edmonton at her fellow aspiring actors' places, it isn't usually something a regular, everyday, steady-job type of person would want to be involved in, IMHO.
Personally, at this point I can't help feeling a little bad for JB because I have heard of these 'let's separate and lead separate lives, but still live in the same house' type of deals, and it seems to me that the person wanting to leave, is the one that usually wants to remain: 'I'm leaving you, but I'll still live in the same house, and we'll lead our separate lives and I'll do whatever I feel like doing, and therefore make life hell for you, while still being able to keep my eye on what YOU'RE doing.' Ugh! Who would agree to that? That opinion is based on personally knowing people who have done exactly that type of arrangement, and other people who have wanted to do that, but where the one 'being left' has said, 'no I don't think so, if you're leaving, then just leave'.
Precisely. With the husband being okay with her being gone without contact for 4-5 days, and others saying it's "out of character"... there are definitely mixed messages out there. They might want to clear some of that up before it falls off radar because the whole issue is dismissed as too flaky by the public.
