Polygamy 411

Alex advised me, before and after he married me, that he had no interest in polygamy. Now things changed and he was going to marry Carolinah. Of course, I had questions.

Alex had already said when his marriage to Carolinah would take place. I asked Alex if he loved Carolinah.  He said, “I care about her.”  When I first realized Alex was seeing Carolinah again, he had told me that she “comforted” him. One of my sisters looked at a photo that I had shown her of Carolinah and said, “He (Alex) must have been reeeeeal sad.”  

Alex gave me various replies at varying times about why he was going to marry Carolinah. Some of the reason he gave were: She needed help. He said the only way he could help her and be around her was by being married to her. He said she had a teenage son that she needed help with. Alex said Carolinah was a nice person and people were taking advantage of her; persons were staying in her home, and wouldn’t leave.  Alex, on another occasion, said he needed to feel needed.

I’m getting a bit ahead of myself in the story here, but approximately a couple months after he had married Carolinah, he said he married her because she wanted sex. I asked him if he was paying her mortgage.  He said he was paying half her mortgage (her mortgage was one of those no money down, balloon type mortgages that doubled or something like that.)
