Plenty of us have agreed that SW and NK were ultimately different flavors of the same controlling woman. But something recently came to my mind: we like to say that CW and SW were only together because it was convenient or that they were mismatched even from the start....were they? CW being a gear head and SW working and being part of the culture of Dirty South actually makes a lot of sense if you think about it. SW came across as someone who knew a lot about cars and enjoyed the sexy vibe and culture of where she worked. I can absolutely see CW falling head over heels for her in the beginning. She absolutely was his type for where he was at that point in his life. Y'all also know that I think he was ultimately a childfree man. I think he would have been perfectly content having zero kids. Marrying the sexy and fun boss babe with fertility issues and no kids from her first marriage of six years sounds right up his alley. We know their story so there isn't much more to go into with that.
Not even a decade later we have NK enter the picture. CW had gotten back into working out, and SW was pregnant with their third child. We can't be exactly sure when his affair began, but we do know that it was physical when SW and the kids were in NC.
My question is two fold: Let's say we switch the characters, do you think that if CW had initially married NK and later met SW that he would have cheated? I know that looks aren't everything, but in my opinion SW is overall better looking and at the time when they met, she was sexier. NK was plain Jane and to be honest I side eye a woman that interested in fitness and guy stuff who is still single at her age. It makes me think that long term commitment just isn't her thing. Couple that with her wanting CW to find his own place instead of inviting him to live with her and continuing to keep her dating profiles open, I do wonder how serious she was about him. And please do not come at me with Google searches. Her best friend was getting married and without context we have no idea what those Google searches were about or if they were applicable to her personal life. Actions speak louder than Google searches.
My thoughts are that CW was interested in NK because she was new and different and he was in his glow up.
My second question is this: Do you think that a lot of the anger and resentment that CW had towards SW was that his marriage was a far cry from what he thought he was getting in the beginning?
These thoughts are coming from just an overall idea that some men level up while married to cheat with someone who is different than their wife, but that they aren't showing what they're truly interested in, had they initially married their mistress, they could just as easily cheat on that type of woman with the woman they married.
When in reality SW and NK were a lot alike, just different in that NK had less debt. Heck, the other day I paused a video of SW without make up and if I told you it was NK, you'd believe me.
Thanks for bearing with me guys 😂 tell me what you think!
