I think the stripper just gave him a taste of something and it only drove his desires to rid himself of his religious life, wife and kids. I don't think he did it for "her".
He did it for his own narcissistic reasons, she was probably just a piece of meat to him. Maybe he knew she would never tell Sheri because she was suppose to be such good friends with Sheri. If it is true he was messin' around with her.
Until someone comes forth and says he was sending the gal down in FL love letters or if he had a lot of contact with her on a week to week basis then I will say he also did it so he could be with her.
